Spring Break 2025

This is the second time my family has stayed at this cabin, we love it! It has plenty of privacy and plenty of room. The cabin is located close to the town of Black Mountain as well as the Chimney Rock State Park. Definitely recommend staying here!

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.

Summer 2022

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.

Hubby and I wanted a getaway in the mountains. This home is a hidden gem!

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!

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 !

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The cabin is terrifically maintained. My wife, myself and 4 children had plenty of room, so having 6 people there was no problem at all. I thought the location was perfect. very private yet only 20 minutes to Black Mountain. Tantalizing company was proactive, responsive and always helpful. We can't wait to return.

Only criticism was that it was not clear to me that upon checking in the combo lock would not work until exactly 4pm. we arrived at 3:20 and had to wait.

Great cabin in great location

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Very convenient to Chimney Rock and Lake Lure. Stunning view from back porch. Finished basement with second TV an unexpected bonus. Two nice bedrooms on main floor, one upstairs; many bathrooms. Only downside in summer is to get main floor comfortable it's a bit cold in basement and a bit warm upstairs. All told, tho, a beautiful, well-stocked house that we'll likely return to.

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.

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.

The End of August at Blue Bear Cabin

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was our second stay at Blue Bear and it was just as enjoyable as the first stay. The cabin was clean, cozy, and quiet..a perfect combination to help us relax. The weather was perfect for the entire time we stayed. In the upper 50's at night, in the low 80's during the day. We spent the week looking for our retirement home site (successfully!) and had a marathon shopping day in Asheville and Black Mountain on Friday. It was tough leaving on Saturday, but we're planning another trip to Blue Bear in the spring.

Lovely to-die-for views

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This cabin has majestic views - the photos don't do it credit! You want to live on the porch forever. The cabin is spotless, and has every amenity you can imagine (except shampoo and sugar). Beds and rooms are very comfortable. Although it is quite out of the way from Asheville with a winding road, and we were questioning the choice as the road went on and on in the hills, once you get there its worth every minute of the drive. The rental company communication is also very good.

Peaceful Mountain Retreat and Scenic Getaway

Our family had a wonderful week at Blue Bear Cabin. The house was welcoming and perfectly set up for our two dogs, and spacious enough to sleep us and our three kids each in their own spaces. We imagined using the screened porch more, but found it not too buggy late June, so enjoyed every evening on the big upper deck for dinner, sunset and games. The kitchen was well-equipped for cooking, and the beds all comfortable. Since the weather was comfortable, we spent most evenings on the deck, but the main family room with fireplace is also cozy. We never even used the second living area in the basement, though the family did play a few rounds on the Checkers table in the basement. The house was clean and nicely decorated with a fun bear theme -- makes it an extra special getaway! I'm a clean freak, and with two dogs, would have loved better cleaning tools. The old-fashioned broom worked more effectively than the Dirt Devil in the closet :) There is lots to do nearby. Down the mountain one direction is the little town of Black Mountain, and the other direction is Chimney Rock. For families with young kids, this would be a wonderful family-friendly place with tons to do. For our older kids, in addition to the Chimney Rock and falls hikes, there are fun eating/drinking places along the river, and public access to play on the rocks in the Green River (dogs allowed). We also spent a few hours on the Lake Lure beach (public beach does not allow dogs), and one day rented a pontoon boat on the lake, which the family and our dogs all loved, despite our rainy weather that morning. We ventured a little farther for a few hiking and eating spots, and would have ventured even farther for more adventures if our time was longer. We look forward to more the next time! P.S. Greybeard team, thanks for making this so easy; communications check-in/out and directions/patience along the way!

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.
