About this property

Blue Bear Cabin | Hot Tub | 3 BR AVL Area | Mountain Views | Gas Fireplace

  • Nestled on 3 acres of serene mountainside, Blue Bear Cabin offers the perfect blend of rustic charm and modern comfort. Located just 30 minutes from Black Mountain, 45 minutes from Asheville, and 20 minutes from Lake Lure, this peaceful retreat is close to top attractions yet feels like a world away. With its spacious wraparound porch, luxury hot tub, and scenic surroundings, this home invites guests to relax, reconnect, and recharge. During early morning or dusk, you might spot a black bear with a bluish hue blending into the mountain mist — a true Blue Ridge moment and the inspiration behind the cabin's name.

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.

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 !

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.

We had a wonderful stay here, and we definitely plan to be back! It felt secluded yet not far from downtown Black Mountain. We did three awesome hikes with our little ones that were within 35 minutes. The cabin was very clean, and comfortable. 10/10.

Wow. Just wow! This property is spectacular in every way. Beautiful home with an even more beautiful view. Still close enough to town but far enough removed to have the perfect amount of isolation and quiet. Easily one of the best stocked properties I have ever been to. I've already bookmarked this property for future stays!

Our family had a great time sitting around the campfire. We really appreciated having wood available. The kids had fun in the pond. Plenty of room for all. This is our 3rd year at Brashear and we’ve already booked next year. Thank you for providing a wonderful place for our family to gather.

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!
