Description
Live the sweet life at Bruins Den. Brilliant stars shine above the fire pit in the large yard. The bubbling hot tub is a great way to relax after exploring the Smoky Mountains. Wi-Fi, an Xbox 360, and Satellite HDTV
The name Bruins Den comes from the Old English word for bear -- bruin. Find your inner bear at Bruins Den.
This Bryson City vacation rental has everything you need to refresh your spirit. Bruins Den is the epitome of comfort with a sprawling layout, easy access, and all the comforts of home plus more.
This well-appointed mountain getaway features 3 bedrooms plus a loft and 3.5 baths. There’s plenty of room and plenty to do -- a beautiful mountain view sprawls through the trees before you and the large yard around Bruins Den. Roasted Marshmallows and stories await you at the fire pit under the brilliant stars.
Start your day off right -- huge windows let in mountain sunshine. Stainless steel appliances and gleaming granite counters brighten the fully equipped kitchen.
The first bedroom is a real treat with a King bed, flat screen TV, and private bath with a large jetted bath tub. The second and third bedrooms each have a queen bed and TVs. The alcove in the loft has two twins, which for an additional charge can be converted into another King. To accommodate two additional guests, there’s a queen sleeper sofa in the loft.
Ceiling fans on the porch catch fresh mountain air. Let your cares drift away on the large covered porch with rocking chairs and a porch swing. A griller’s delight, Bruins Den has a gas grill and picnic table that are just right for savoring meals.

The cabin was perfect for our three families. We loved sitting with the kids around the firepit and relaxing in the hot tub. Can't wait to come back.

We came for family time and the Polar Express. We ventured into town, which was nice and small but just big enough to enjoy. We will cherish these memories forever! Thank you!

We recently had the opportunity to stay at Bruin Den in Bryson City, NC. This was actually our second time staying in the cabin and it proved again to be a great experience. The location is superb. Despite being conveniently close to Bryson City, we love the sense of privacy and seclusion the cabin offered. The convenience of having all the amenities within easy reach and the ability to retreat into the private hideaway was the perfect blend. The views from the cabin are nothing short of spectacular. There is a fantastic view of the mountains that make great photos during sunrise or sunset. We spent many relaxing evenings on the porch. It was the perfect setting for leisurely breakfasts and relaxing evenings. One of the things we appreciated most was the excellent communication from the host. They were prompt, clear, and super friendly, offering guidance and answering our questions swiftly and efficiently. We will look forward to staying again.

This is the ultimate relaxation spot. You're close enough to the town and restaurants, but it's completely unnecessary. Sitting by the fire or on the porch, all your troubles fade away.

We absolutely love this cabin/house in the mountains. The furnishings were very cozy and we enjoyed the huge dining room table for our family! We so enjoyed being out by the fire pit which needed new chairs and the host was quick to replace the old chairs with brand new chairs for that area. The views were amazing. The convenience to Bryson City was also great!

We were a party of 8. We brought a single air mattress to make the sleeping arrangement work. The location was nice for Deep Creek, Bryson City, and Nantahala. The pictures of the place are all spot-on. One of the bathrooms only has a tub, so there are only 2 showers. The two single beds are in the open loft, so if you put little ones there it is quite time for the rest of the house. I definitely recommend the place

The property is beautiful. The entire house looked very clean and most everything we needed in the way of kitchen utensils, etc and towels, toilet paper, etc were well provided. Although it is off the beaten path, we still had no trouble finding it. There were very good directions.

This cabin has a great porch overlooking the mountains, hot tub, great kitchen, stone fireplace, comfortable beds, good furniture. We loved this property. Very clean and comfortable beds. I liked the property and it had great reviews. I also called another agency first and they did not seem knowledgeable about their own cabins. I decided to search elsewhere. So glad I did! I will definitely use GSCR again, excellent customer service!

In all of our cabin rental holidays, this cabin was by far the best! Thank you for opening up this lovely cabin to our family. We are here for our 50th Wedding Anniversary. We shared the cabin with our Florida family. We enjoyed the view, the luxurious furniture and all the amenities you have here. The grandchildren loved the fir pit and we enjoyed rocking on the porch. Made some great memories!
