About this property

Wandering Bear Cabin w/ Hot Tub & Mountain Views!

Brand NEW VRBO listed at a discount!

This charming cabin offers the best of both worlds; a rustic cabin feel mixed with high-speed internet & modern furnishings! With incredible views of the Smoky Mountains, we are just a short drive to Asheville, Cherokee Casino, and Maggie Valley Ski Resort. Relax in the hot tub after a day of remote working or hiking the nearby trails. Perfect space for a romantic getaway, as a launching pad for your Asheville tour and a precursor to your hiking trip! Ideal for families and remote workers!

The Cabin sits atop a Smoky Mountain foothill and boasts a large wrap-around porch with beautiful valley views. On the back porch sits the 4-seater hot tub, comfortable outdoor furniture, games for kids, and a grill for BBQ! From the porch enjoy gazing at the rolling hills while viewing Western North Carolina wildlife in the yard below: Cottontail Rabbits, Eastern Blue Birds, White-Tailed Deer, and many more!

Inside you will find a large open concept living area with comfortable and modern furnishings! The cabin has been thoughtfully curated with brands like West Elm as well as handcrafted pieces by local designers. The high-speed wifi supports both the dedicated workspace in the kitchen and the 40-inch HD TV in the living room. The kitchen and bathrooms are fully equipped with all the essential amenities. Both the master ensuite and guest bedrooms are equipped with comfortable queen-size beds, full closets, ceiling fans, and dressers.

En route to the cabin enjoy a picturesque drive through the rolling foothills of the Smoky Mountains. The driveway comfortably fits 2 cars and a third can be parked on the gravel just past the driveway entrance (side of the street). Enter through the front door onto the wrap-around porch. Guest will be given their unique smart lock code to the front door shortly before arrival.

Cozy and clean
We absolutely loved this little cabin. It was well placed, easy to locate and drive to. The cabin was classy, clean, and well stocked for easy living away from home. Amazingly, it was dog friendly so we got to bring our furbaby along. The cabin had a dog friendly deck with gates so she couldn’t run off. There were even flat places for business doing (very rare with cabins) which were amazing because our princess is particular about the slope of her business areas. The owner/manager is very responsive via message (and probably phone, we just never needed to call.). We would recommend this cabin to anyone looking for a quiet and relaxing escape. We will definitely return!

Beautiful vacation
Cabin was very clean and just beautiful. Probably the cleanest VRBO I have ever stayed in! Conveniently, located to all the plans we made prior to coming in for our stay! The owners had everything stocked nicely! The only problem we had was the furnace would work only every now and then. It got very cold in there a couple nights. Keegan did respond to the messages I sent him. For the troubles we had, Keegan offered to buy our supper the last night we stayed. (I still need to send him my receipt from Granny's Kitchen!) I would definitely stay at this cabin again! Hot tub was a great perk too!!

What an incredible stay! It had such great amenities and the owners were too nice and stocked their cabin completely full of goodies. It seriously felt like I had everything I needed there.

We are pleased to welcome you to Hopetown Homes!

After spending four years together at college in Maine, the three of us became busy with jobs and life. We remained best friends since we were 18 years old but wanted to make sure that we could always make time to see one another and spend quality time together. Over the past decade, the Asheville area – including the very properties that you will stay at – offered us the opportunity to reconnect, build bonds and share our lives together during major life events (career changes, girlfriends, marriage and now kids!).

Thank you for visiting our page and spending time at our home. We hope that you too experience the same camaraderie, reconnection and joy that these homes have given us! Please let us know what we can do to make your stay as enjoyable as possible - we love the local area and want to share it with you!
