Blue Bear Cabin | Hot Tub | 3 BR AVL Area | Mountain Views | Gas Fireplace

Nestled on 3 acres of serene mountainside, Blue Bear Cabin offers the perfect blend of rustic charm and modern comfort. Located just 30 minutes from Black Mountain, 45 minutes from Asheville, and 20 minutes from Lake Lure, this peaceful retreat is close to top attractions yet feels like a world away. With its spacious wraparound porch, luxury hot tub, and scenic surroundings, this home invites guests to relax, reconnect, and recharge. During early morning or dusk, you might spot a black bear with a bluish hue blending into the mountain mist — a true Blue Ridge moment and the inspiration behind the cabin's name.

We had a wonderful stay here, and we definitely plan to be back! It felt secluded yet not far from downtown Black Mountain. We did three awesome hikes with our little ones that were within 35 minutes. The cabin was very clean, and comfortable. 10/10.

Wow. Just wow! This property is spectacular in every way. Beautiful home with an even more beautiful view. Still close enough to town but far enough removed to have the perfect amount of isolation and quiet. Easily one of the best stocked properties I have ever been to. I've already bookmarked this property for future stays!

Mountain Getaway

My wife and I along with another couple rented the cabin for a weekend getaway. It was a short drive to Black Mountain where we spent the day at the Sourwood Festival. The cabin was great and as advertised. We were very happy with everything during the rental & check-in process. The cabin is extremely clean and very nice. You won't be disappointed.

Perfect get away

This was easy to get to. Close to Asheville and Lake Lure. The highway below the house can be a little busy but other than that it was a quiet place. The view is spectacular from the deck, patio and hot tub!! We brought our dogs and they loved it also. Close to many areas to hike. I would definitely come again. You can easily have 8 people comfortably with not falling all over each other !

Amazing cabin with a fantastic view!!!

Driving up to this cabin is unassumingly adorable from the outside. Once you open the door it’s like the beginning of the wizard of oz… the interior is breath-taking. The beauty of the all-knotty-pine interior… walls, floors & ceiling on every level is absolutely stunning!!! The decor is adorably accented with bears throughout. Enough sleeping room for a large family, with four bedrooms. The view is unsurpassed. The cabin had games we played together and good cable connection. The Wi-Fi was usable, if slow but we went there to unplug and get away from it all… so it was perfect!!!! Thank you to our hosts for sharing their lovely home with us for a few days.

Secluded getaway

We enjoyed this property over Thanksgiving with family. Knowing we were going to have people in and out, we brought extra tables as we noticed there was not a lot of extra room to pull the dining room table out. The property was very clean and had a lot of kitchen supplies available. We had teenage kids with us who used the loft pull-out and one slept on the couch. However when visiting the downstairs we noticed a full bedroom without any furniture. We felt it was a little odd to have a perfect bedroom available and not furnish it for guests vs making them sleep on couches. Our only guess was that they didn’t want extra people staying in the home? An air mattress would have offered much more privacy then the loft or living room couch. Unfortunately the hot tub was not working. We noticed the pumps running when we got there and we’re excited to use it, however it didn’t get hot enough the first night to get in. When we opened it up after breakfast on our first full day we noticed almost half the water was missing which appeared to be leaking from the front of the unit. Since it was Thanksgiving holiday we never were able to get anyone out to look at it which was unfortunate. The property has beautiful views and is centered in between Downtown Black Mountain(20 min) and Chimney Rock (15 min). With three cars in driveway we had to back down the driveway to make it easier to get in and out. It was no problem over Thanksgiving but could be more of an issue with snow due to incline/decline. All in all it was a very nice cabin. We would have loved to have used the hot tub and extra bedroom, but they were not available that weekend.

So perfectly located! Absolutely gorgeous views, especially at sunset! Well stocked, comfortable bed (we only used the master) ! It was hot while we were there and the AC worked great!! Hubby liked the direct tv satellite with DVR…it even worked in the rain 🤣! Communication was outstanding with the management company. Will definitely stay here again!

Really great cabin as very clean and views of sunsets were magnificent. Private and quiet which made our stay nice and peaceful. Dog friendly as well as bear gates on deck also created a closed area so that our pup could roam on the deck and be with us as we enjoyed the outside view.

Wonderful Mountain Retreat!

We were lucky enough to get snowed in at the "Blue Bear" Cabin, and what a treat it was! Wonderful views, relaxed by the fireplaces. The driveway make for excellent sledding too! We just enjoyed the wonderful vibe of the cabin. Our dog "Hemi" also really enjoyed it, because this cabin is dog friendly which is a huge plus!

Beautiful view and dog-friendly

The cabin was amazing. There were just two of us plus our dog so we only ended up using the main level but the cabin was amazing. We braved the cold and sat on the back porch to enjoy the view. It’s a fairly short drive to get supplies. We appreciate the owners allowing dogs. This was our first trip with our dog and we all enjoyed it. This would be a perfect cabin for a family with the space downstairs. We would highly recommend this cabin.

Perfect Black Mountain Getaway

This was a great place to stay. The kitchen was well equipped and the beds were comfortable. The covered back porch was a great place to hang out during the afternoon storms that typically pop up each day (and a perfect spot to see the sun set each day!). The grill worked well and there was even a spare propane tank (just in case). And, on top of that, the property was pet friendly, so our dog was able to be with us. The only improvement I can think of would be some ceiling fans on the back porch and better internet speed (the WiFi signal was great but the actual internet speed fluctuated a lot, but the service appeared to be satellite-based, so probably not much can be done about that). The check-in and check-out processes were super easy. We would recommend this property in a heartbeat and hope to return again.
