Blue Ridge Vacation Rental cabin

This was our first cabin visit with the kids and it was fun. The cabin is a very nice retreat from regular life with a nice view of the mountains from a very spacious deck that holds a hot tub. The cabin is spotless, cozy, near many outdoor attractions and peaceful. We went horseback riding and white water rafting while there - recommend Rolling Thunder on the 'nanny' although it is a longer drive, worth the drive for the river views and great staff. Would like to visit during the cooler days to see the mountains in the fall or perhaps the winter.

The Garcia cabin in Bears Lair is far more adventurous than the online pictures suggest. For starters, as you arrive at your destination at the base of Cherry Log Mountain, off of highway 5, you ascend to your cabin on a slightly larger than a single lane road, winding to your destination at the top. The experience is similar to driving through the hilly and winding California mountains - but without the dangers of driving off into deep ravines. And if you are a flat Lander, you might get an occasional pop in your ears.

Once inside the Bears Liar, you are met with a pleasing mountain view as you gaze out and beyond the back porch. The serene view is coupled with a refreshing cool breeze blanketing your body. If you're not in a hurry to unpack your vehicle, take the time to enjoy the rockers on the back porch as your senses drink it all in..

For the adventurous ones at night, a walk on the mountain roads will be met with the sounds of the night creatures hiding in the dark shadows - all of which will juice up the imagination of all your childhood fears; but there is no real danger in the darkness.

For a more mature escape, try sitting in the hot Jacuzzi with your favorite drink, as the multitude of fire flies entertain you with their illusion of flickering stars in the deep blackness of space.

For the novice hiker and angler, the "Benton McCay" trail is a delight which leads to the best fishing places. Our favorite fishing lake is nestled out of view from the mountain roads, but only a ten minute walk from Bears Lair. To the delight of our children, we caught 4 average brim which after cooked, made an excellent appetizer for our first time fishermen. For the bass master, they are out there waiting for you!

Whether horseback riding or tubing down the beautiful Taccoa River is what you desire, you have come to the right place. One can also enjoy the scenic 1 1/2 hour scenic train ride through the mountains.

Finally, after an eventful day, the comfort of a good nights' sleep is enhanced by a symphony of night creatures with the door wide open to the cool night air.

WOW, what an amazing and relaxing getaway. My wife and I have stayed at this cabin twice now, and we find something new and exciting about ourselves, as well as the surrounding location each time! This cabin is so relaxing, it really allows you to clear your head of the everyday hustle and bustle of Life. The cabin is in pristine condition. The pond is full of fish and is a very tranquil place to get away and bask in the sun. We will soon be planning our annual trip (3rd time) again, and we can not wait!
