Perfect get away stay

We were very happy with our rental over the holiday period. A home from home. Great location, near many trails between Brevard and Cashier. The property has breath-taking views of the mountains. The host, Jennifer, was very accessible. We had an issue with the heating but Jennifer helped us get that sorted straight away, there were also plenty of heaters in the house and even a stove we lite most nights. Very cosy indeed. She even kitted the house out with a christmas tree and decorations for the holiday season and I was very grateful for that. The kitchen is well equiped too. Plenty of games in the play room. Overall, I would give this place and the host 5 stars, I hope to return again in the future.

Family Thanksgiving Gathering

The cabin was roomy with plenty of seating and rooms for our extended family. The host and owner were amazing to work with. Answered all emails and texts very quickly. The deck was great for hanging out with lots of chairs and a porch swing. The kitchen was very well stocked and I made thanksgiving dinner with no problem. We had a wonderful time and would stay at this home again.

Cabin guys annual getaway

5 college friends that have been going to NC for almost 40 years but first time in Lake Toxaway. We found the location ideal between Highlands, Cashiers, and Brevard. Enjoyed the local waterfalls, hikes, and great places to eat. The view from the cabin was one of the best mountain views I've seen and the cabin takes full advantage of it. The spacious but cozy home helped us ingest the beautiful Fall colors and mountain air that are unique to western NC. One of our guys gave it the highest compliment: "I'd stay here again!".

Pleasant stay

We stayed here for a week for our annual family trip to the NC mountains. The cabin is located about halfway between Brevard and cashiers, allowing many opportunities for exploration. Thecabin was clean,cozy and inviting inside Anything you could possibly want for food preparation was available. The owner was quick to respond when we notified him of the lack of hot water. The reason for our “4” rating is that the exterior of the house is in need of considerable maintenance, especially uoors and windows. From the inside the great view was partially obstructed by wrinkled window film. This house has so much potential with some attention to detail in exterior maintenance and needed repairs.

Annual 4th gathering

Our group goes to Lake Toxaway every July 4th. We have stayed in a number of different properties and this one is definitely at the top of our list, this year being our 3rd stay. We hope to be able to return in the future.

Family Vacation

We had an excellent time at the Bear's Den. There was enough room for the kids to watch their shows and a second living area on the main floor for the adults to watch TV. The hot tub was a favorite with everyone and we had plenty of room for the nine of us to sit on the decks mainly having a good time and watching the view.

A nice surprise

Stayed here with family for a week and was surprised to find the house had several updates since the photos in the listing were taken. New gas stove, new hot tub, new chimea and looked like several repairs around the property. It's a nice big house with a good layout for a big group. Loved our stay and would book again.

Amazing views and ultimate relaxation

An absolute great experience for our family. The communication through the entire process was top notch, and the layout was very functional for our large crowd. The driveway is a little bit of a challenge, but a small price to pay for privacy and scenery! We will be coming back again!

Nice getaway

The house has everything you need. It is a very private setting and is large enough for everyone to have privacy. The air conditioners struggle on really hot days and the driveway is a very narrow. Overall, it was a very enjoyable stay.

Summer vacation...change of scenery

For the past 5 years, we (parents, kids, grandkids) have been spending a week in the NC mountains in the Boone/Blowing Rock area. This year we decided to come to the Asheville area and found this house. We really enjoyed our stay. Check-in was great...the host met our daughter-in-law/grandsons (first to arrive) to give them a tour and share information. She also brought a delicious chocolate pecan pie!! The house was large enough to allow us to be together (6 adults, kids) but apart, when needed. It was clean and had all of the necessities (linens, fans/AC, washing machine, wifi, etc.) including a well-equipped kitchen for the cooks in the family! The living room/deck (mountain view) were perfect for early morning breakfast and evening dinners. The only down side was the location (between Brevard/Cashiers). We loved it from a "get away from it all" perspective (loved that it was down a gravel road with no "close-by" neighbors) but got a little frustrated re: distance from areas we wanted to explore. However, we also know that is to be expected in the mountains! Overall, we had a great week (in fact it went by too fast) and would stay here again!

Perfect for Couples Retreat!

We liked it that the house manager met us upon arrival and gave us a tour of the chalet. Plus she gave us some good waterfall directions and local places to eat. Best of all was the snack basket and bottle of champagne for one anniversary couple. Nice touch! House was clean, kitchen well stocked, hot tub worked, and Wi-Fi was fine. Directions were good and really DO go all the way to the end of the final road where the house sits. Nice view and great location for doing lots of nearby activities. We did not use fire pit as it was too cold! Thanks for allowing our dog. We would return to this house.

Perfect Ladies Getaway

We found the cabin to be a perfect location for our girls getaway. We had plenty of room for us all to spread out. The only really terrible thing was a snow storm that made us cut our trip short, but that's hardly their fault! As a result though we're all already talking about coming back!

This house is awesome! Double living room spaces and a walk around deck made for easy access to hot tub and grill. The only downside was the decking was really slick from algae, but would 100% stay here again! Thanks again!
