Our group had an amazing time. The place was clean, and fully stocked with everything we needed. The best part was the environment around us. The location is perfect and there’s plenty to explore around there.

Beautiful Bearwallow Retreat

We were 13 adults and kids with 2 adult visitors one day. The house is exactly as pictured, well-built, lots of comfortable nice furniture inside and outside. Nice size hot tub, fun pickleball court (even though you have to adjust your game to no lobbing because of rafters and wedding netting hanging up). The scenery is nice and hiking trails all around. I would definitely recommend Bearwallow Retreat to families who enjoy pickleball, hiking, and hot tubs!

Incredible property for cozy group getaway

We had a great time gathered with friends at this property. It was perfect for our four families, all with young kids. Great kitchen for all the cooking, access to hiking trails from the front door, pickle ball, fire pit, hot tub… we really didn’t even need to leave! We’d definitely rent again.

Perfect family vacation

One of the best vacation rentals I've ever stayed in. The property was one of the highlights and even better than expected with pickleball, disc golf, and trails - plenty of space to roam around and play. The deck and house were clean, spacious, and luxurious with plenty of space for a big group. Kitchen well stocked. Owner and management were responsive and fixed problems as they arose. We had a wonderful week, thank you so much - we will stay here again. Only critiques - some squeaky beds and the hot tub kept getting stinky(might need a better chlorine/sanitation method)/

Beautiful new property. There was some confusion about combination lock and hidden key. Also there is no fireplace the description needs to be updated. We had a great time.

Poplars are popular!

This retreat was above and beyond anything anything we could’ve ever expected. The host’s attention to detail showed just how loved and cared for this property is. From the labeled drawers, to the electric car charger this property had everything we needed and also everything we didn’t realize we needed until our stay! We were in town for a wedding but once we arrived we wished the wedding was actually on the property! The pavilion/pickle ball court provided so many hours of activity & exercise, and the hiking trails were a dream! The house was exactly what you would picture for the ideal mountain house! The next time we come back we intend to rent out the entire poplars for a family affair!

Great Family Reunion

3 Generations of family enjoyed this beautiful home tastefully set-up and well-supplied. Our family enjoyed the on-site amenities (corn hole, hot-tub, pickle ball court and hiking trails near-by) and took advantage of all of them. The beds were great and the expansive deck was the best!

Perfect for large family

The house was very clean and well kept. We enjoyed spending time in the hot tub, taking walks in the trails around the house and playing in the pavilion. The gravel road leading up to the house was sometimes a little hard to navigate in a mini van but we made it up and down without too much trouble multiple times. The house is about 25-30 minutes away from Lake Lure and about 35 minutes away from Asheville. Our whole family enjoyed the stay and would consider going back.
