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.

Wow...

Kirstin in FL Siesta Key, FL
Review Submitted: November 19, 2008 Date of Stay: August 2008
Wonderful Cabin!! We stayed here in Aug for 9 days ...it was myself, my husband, our 4 month old baby and our Golden Retriever. I don't have much time to write today, but...it was a GORGEOUS VERY woody location...also VERY private and quiet. WE loved sitting on the porch in the mornings listening to all the sounds of nature under the large wooded trees...awee...so peaceful. We also loved how close it was to Cashiers and highlands was only a 10 min drive or so. We hiked lots right on the property area and did LOTS od daily walks. The inside of the cabin was very homey, cozy and had all the ammenities that you need. We loved our trip!!! Thanks so much for a wonderful vacation guys!
Owner's Response: We love that people review the cottage and hope it helps future renters in their decision to pick a place. This review is wonderful, however, the cottage is about an hour to Cashiers...maybe less if they took the parkway but not as close as 10 minutes. The cottage is located North of Asheville, where Cashiers is located South West.

Wonderful Christmas Getaway

B/C/U Batavia, IL
Review Submitted: February 18, 2008 Date of Stay: December 2007
A wonderful spot for a holiday getaway! The owners put up Christmas lights around the window, decorations around the house, stockings hanging on the mantle - it was great! The beds were really comfortable, and the cabin was spotlessly clean. The setting is very romantic, quiet, peaceful. It was really fun to be able to sit in the hot tube on Christmas Eve night, and go hiking in the Pisgah Forest on Christmas Day. I was not certain I wanted to spend Christmas away from home - but I would go back here in a heartbeat!

Wonderful retreat

Chippy Greenville, SC
Review Submitted: January 25, 2008 Date of Stay: September 2007
The cabin was immaculate and exactly as the website describes. Very remote, the hot tub was fabulous and also very clean. Our dogs had so much fun and didn't want leave. We will definitely be back and recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful retreat to unwind and get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

Wonderful Get Away!

Morgan's Clemmons, NC
Review Submitted: December 26, 2007 Date of Stay: November 2007
We booked the cabin for our 7 year wedding anniversary and had a wonderful time. The cabin is very clean has a lot of extra's for your stay. We loved the selection of movies that they had along with the DVD player. The hot tub is very private and relaxing. The beds slept very comfortable with the really nice sheets. The view is breath taking from the porch. We had a wonderful stay I would recommend as a good romantic getaway.
