BJ, here's hoping you have a long, non-frosty period for your beans, however, if it comes down to "freeze or pick". . . here's what I have done in the past. Cut the whole plant off and hang it upside-down in a sheltered place where it will not freeze. There, many of the beans will continue to dry on the vine -- as close to natural as you can get out of the ground -- and you should get a harvest that way.
