Bruins Den

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.  

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.

Wi-Fi, an Xbox 360, and Satellite HDTV are available to keep you connected.
