Great updated quaint cabin!

My husband and I spent the weekend celebrating our anniversary and his birthday at this lovely cabin. We found it very clean with everything we needed for a lovely stay. The owners were very easy to reach by text and extremely nice. There is a lovely gas fireplace which we really enjoyed. Sit on the porch, or walk up a stairway to the good sized hot tub with a view of the creek down the hill and surrounded by nature. We hope to stay again!

So Lovely

This home is just amazing. Ive been staying here as a respite from the woes of the world for many years now. Private, serene and comfortable with an amazing hot tub to end the day. It is convenient to Weaverville or Mars Hill to get out and about. Big Ivy hiking areas are closed due to storm damage as Barnardsville was hit pretty hard by Helene so was relieved this cabin treasure was intact. I would recommend this lovely gem for your getaway any day of the week

Perfect cabin for a secluded getaway

The cabin is great though it doesn’t look exactly like on pictures. The hot tub is clean and functional. You need a four-wheel-drive SUV to get to the property.

I enjoyed the cabin and location. Happy that my doodle dog was allowed to come as well. The driveway was a bit of a challenge, however. We took our own bedding and towels, so we wouldn’t have to wait for washing machine.

If you're seeking a tranquil escape in the woods, this is the place to unwind. We had an incredible time here for our anniversary trip, and it was everything we hoped for and more. The cabin offers all the amenities we needed for a cozy and comfortable stay, and the hot tub, tucked away in its own private spot, made it even more special.One of the highlights of this cabin is the porch—perfect for enjoying your morning cup of coffee while listening to the soothing sounds of a babbling creek below and taking in the mountain views. For those looking to balance relaxation with adventure, Pisgah National Forest is nearby, offering a variety of outdoor activities. And if you’re craving a taste of small-town charm, Weaverville’s quaint downtown is just a short drive away, with a few great restaurants that give you a warm, welcoming vibe.Although Douglass Falls Hiking area is still closed, we discovered the Straight Creek trail nearby, which was an easy-to-moderate in-and-out route that featured its own little waterfall.The area still has some lovely signs of Helene's presence. We appreciated how much this retreat offered a balance between seclusion and proximity to both nature and nearby town life. Would definitely recommend it for anyone looking to escape the hustle and bustle and recharge in a peaceful woodland.

Peaceful Getaway

My daughter and I stayed for our annual 2 week vacation away from "the guys". Bear's Den is everything we needed to recharge. The property and home are great. We spent a great deal of time outside painting, birdwatching, and reading. Listening to the river running was so relaxing. House has just about everything you need. The hot tub was perfect for after a hike. There are neighbors within view, but far enough away to still feel secluded. Just a wonderful place to get away and drown yourself in nature.

Cute place in the woods!

This is a cool little house in the woods. Pretty much exactly as described, with an interesting history. Perfect location for us to stay just a few miles away from Navitat Canopy Adventures so we could go ziplining there.Host is super easy to contact. Since its still just barely the beginning of spring we could see a couple of houses, but they are not close and in the summer when trees are full of leaves you probably can't see them. The driveway is kind of steep, like some others have said. Be prepared for that.We loved out stay here!

Wonderful!

A very nice, quiet place to stay if you're looking to go to the Asheville area! The driveway is a little steep, but it's nothing most cars won't be able to handle. There's a stream near the house, so, if you like the sound of water, this could be the place for you. Even if you don't, for some reason, the inside of the house is perfectly quiet. It's a small cottage, but it's still very cozy! I would definitely suggest staying here if you're a couple or a small group, there's two decently comfortable beds.

Weekend getaway

Great little place to stay, clean, well equipped and quiet location. It’s far enough out but close enough to things as the same time. Hot tub was great. One thing to know, the driveway is mildly steep. No problem for a modern vehicle, but we drove a classic car and it was a little dicey getting up the drive. I don’t remember if this was mentioned in the listing or not, but I’m just sharing in case it helps someone else decide what to drive LOL. We’d definitely come back!

Over all the description of the property was spot on. The cleaning staff needs some pointers. Perhaps they can take some time and clean the coffee pot, empty the lint from the dryer, and cob webs along the floor by the registers. We didnt use the hot tub or the grill, we didnt want to clean them to use them. There was a faint odor of propane near the large tank. Other wise we had a blast.Barnardsville really got demolished by those storms. I had no idea it was that widespread.

Perfect for two plus dog

The house is clean and the outdoor areas are private. It sits in a small yard in the woods on a steep hillside with a creek across the traffic-free road. We enjoyed sitting on a rock in the creek and watching our dog explore. The inside was roomy enough for two plus a small dog, and clean. The kitchen was well stocked with everything needed to cook. We usually played games at the kitchen table in the evenings. The house is close to the Blue Ridge Parkway, and we enjoyed the Big Ivy section of the Pisgah National Forest which takes you to a couple of waterfalls. I would defintely consider staying here again if we ever come back to this area.
