About this property

Amazing views at L’Oursière in Bear Lake Reserve, from the new hot tub.

Welcome to L’Oursière.
Featuring breathtaking layered views, and luxury new accommodations. You will feel right at home during your perfect getaway located in the gated community of Bear Lake Reserve with its pristine lake and altitude gold course. You’ll experience the full magic of mountain-lake living while marveling at the mountain views, swimming, boating or golfing, all in a peaceful setting. You are 30mn from Sylva and Cashiers, 15 mn from Cullowhee and just over an hour to Asheville.
The space:
Discover serenity and luxury in this stunning mountain villa featuring three king guest bedrooms, each offering mesmerizing layered mountain vistas for serenity. Additionally, a charming bedroom over the garage features two queen beds with garden and forest views and invigorating morning light, providing ample space for relaxation.

Indulge in various dining options at the 14,000 square foot Lake Club.

WHY CHOOSE THIS HOUSE?
For us, it was love at first sight, captivated by the stunning layered views from every room (we counted 11 layers one evening), ensuring that our friends would enjoy their own « room with a view » and averting too certain conflicts among our five kids when it comes to picking the best room!
So come, unpack and surrender to the beauty around you.

Please note that the daily resort fee, already included in the price, grants access to Bear Lake Reserve amenities such as the lake, pool, hot tub, gym, sauna, and hiking trails. However, certain activities like golf, tennis, and boat rentals may incur additional costs.

Perfect for our family vacay!

We go to Bear Lake every Labor Day and this has been our best stay yet! The home was perfect for our family to be able to spread out and not feel on top of each other (even when we were all in the same room), the view is spectacular, and our host was so lovely and quick with communication! We hope to return in the future!

Amazing views & beautiful home!

This home is stellar in every way! It is large and spacious to accommodate a crowd, the views are spectacular, and the host has gone above and beyond in providing for their guests. Firewood for the wood-burning fireplace, multiple types of coffee to suit everyone’s taste, Comfortable seating inside and in all of the outdoor locations.. sadly, our daughter’s wedding was canceled due to the hurricane and we went there for a respite and everybody left feeling relax and recharged.

About the host

Hosted by Aurélia

Host profile image
We are a French-American family of 5 kids and 2 parents. We love to hike, swim and read and our house in Bear Lake is an amazing place to reconnect as a family as the kids are now all scattered.

Why they chose this property

We absolutely adore Bear Lake Reserve! It is magic to be able to swim, paddle, kayak, gold, play tennis and paddle in such a pristine environment. When we were house-hunting in WNC and discovered Bear Lake Reserve, we knew we had to be part of this fantastic community!
