Recently renovated including kitchen and bath; there are hardwood floors throughout. Enjoy views of the mountains and listen to the roar of the river from the large deck that the hot tub sits on. There is hiking on our land or in the Pisgah Natl Forest nearby. You can fish in the river below for small trout, directions in cottage to larger rivers. The lawn is beautifully landscaped with different varieties of flowers. When in season, pick fresh blackberries and raspberries in the front yard.

Further details for this vacation cabin rental in Asheville, North Carolina

Our Mission: It is our goal to provide you with everything that you will need to make Bear's Den your home away from home. If you have special requests prior to arrival, we will do our best to accommodate your needs. We can also have upon your arrival a romantic basket package for an additional low cost that will be included in your rate. All you will need is your toiletries and food.

Our Story: We own and operate Sunrise Mtn Cottage and Bears Den Cottage ourselves. We only have 2 cottages so that we can maintain a level of expectancy and integrity. We both have a background in hospitality including running a 4 star AAA rated bed and breakfast in Colorado. We have lived in Asheville for 8 years and love it and love our little gems of properties. We fell in love with Bears Den the first time we saw it. It has a magical feel to it...you can almost see the fairies dancing in the flower gardens. :) We sit on the porch for hours watching the birds, butterflies and humming birds and listening to the river below. The house is open and airy with a big picture window looking out into the forest. The cottage is decorated appropriately with bears, flowers and inspirational signs to make your trip the mountains relaxing and enjoyable. There is a good chance of seeing wild life at this property. We guarantee you will have an excellent time.

Other Activities: Just min to Reems Creek Golf Course, Blue Ridge Parkway, white water rafting

True Relaxation

Ian & Janice Hexham, Northumberland, UK
Review Submitted: August 8, 2008 Date of Stay: July 2008
My wife and I have just spent four nights at this delightful hideaway. The setting is indeed idyllic, with a huge variety of flowers in the garden, which is surrounded by enormous trees and attracts all manner of wildlife - huge butterflies, wild turkeys wandering past, hummingbirds, etc., etc. The cottage has everything you need for a relaxing stay, including a luxurious hot tub. A car is essential, and it is true to say that a fair bit of driving is required to visit the many local attractions (The Biltmore Estate at Asheville is a must!), but it is worth it. Owners are great to deal with and were very helpful in making the arrangements for our stay. I would definitely recommend this property to anyone visiting the area who wants to get away from the hustle and bustle of daily life.
Owner's Response: We work very hard to make Bears Den the perfect vacation spot for you and your family. Come enjoy the beauty of the mountains.

This place is awesome. The location is amazing. The house was very well maintained and clean. There were some nice DVDs and music CDs. The bath tub was great. The sound of the river was so soothing. Great place. Will recommend if you are looking for a quiet and peaceful time.

Wonderful Retreat!!

Nicole and Jesse Fitchburg, MA
Review Submitted: October 13, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2009
After traveling 17 hours by car we were pleasantly greeted by all the wonders "Bear's Den" has to offer. The property is beautiful and the house was immaculate. Fresh cut flowers were there to greet us as well as the steaming hot tub, which was the cleanest one I had ever seen. My only regret is that we didnt have much time to spend on the property as we were in town for an Asheville wedding. Went on the most splendid hike on the nearby (15 min drive) Walker Creek Trail.
The cabin is about 20 min from the nearest grocery store and 30 min from Asheville. There is a nearby store that has your basics and VERY friendly staff. There was also a farm stand on the highway exit that had extremely delicious and super-cheap veggies that we prepared in the well-stocked kitchen at Bears Den.
I would most definately recommend this property to anyone looking to get away from it all. If we head to Ashville again we'd definately stay here!

Perfect Asheville Area Rental!

Laluna Lombard IL
Review Submitted: June 6, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2009
You do not have to look further to find the perfect rental for your vacation to the Asheville area. This 2 bedroom home looks rustic from the outside but the inside is immaculate and has all the modern conveniences such as a dishwasher and washer and dryer. We unfortunately could only stay three nights there but did spend a lot of our time sitting on the front porch and listening to the river and the birds. We even had the pleasure of meeting 2 wild turkeys that stayed around for a whole day. The rental is very near the Big Ivy National Forest and we went on the most wonderful hike on Walker Trail. We definitely would come back but hopefully stay for a whole week.
