About this property

Blue Bear Cabin | Hot Tub | Mountain Views | 3 BR | Dog-Friendly | Near Black Mountain

  • Nestled on 3 private acres of Blue Ridge mountainside, Blue Bear Cabin is a three-bedroom pet-friendly Asheville cabin that balances genuine rustic character with the comforts that make a vacation feel effortless. The wraparound deck and covered outdoor dining area frame sweeping mountain views that guests return for year after year—and the private hot tub on the lower patio makes it hard to leave.

    Inside, the open-concept main level flows from a fully equipped kitchen to an inviting living room with a gas log fireplace and TV (streaming) and dining space for four. Head upstairs to a cozy loft with a telescope for evening stargazing, or downstairs to a den with a gas stove, a game room with foosball, and access to a screened-in porch perfect for rainy mountain evenings.

    House Layout: The main floor has a King bed and en-suite bath, another bedroom with a Queen bed, and a full hall bath accessible from the hallway. The upstairs and downstairs both have Queen bedrooms. Spread across three levels, the bedrooms give every group room to spread out — ideal for families, friend groups, or two couples sharing a getaway. A powder room is available on both the upper level and lower level, and the home offers a washer/dryer, which rounds out the practicalities.

    Out the Door: Old Fort's Hillman Brewing, Catawba Falls Trail, and Foothills Watershed (Family Riverside Hangout & Bike Park) are within a 24-minute drive. Black Mountain's walkable downtown — breweries, coffee shops, and galleries — is also about 25 minutes away. Chimney Rock and Lake Lure are roughly 30 minutes in the other direction. Asheville and the Biltmore Estate are about 35 minutes west.

    Please note: Dogs are welcome (up to two, $100/dog non-refundable fee). The driveway is steep and not suitable for trailers or campers. 4WD or AWD recommended December–March. In the colder winter months, roads in the development can become icy or snowy, and snowplows may take some time to arrive.

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.

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!

Summer 2022

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!

Great cabin in great location

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Very convenient to Chimney Rock and Lake Lure. Stunning view from back porch. Finished basement with second TV an unexpected bonus. Two nice bedrooms on main floor, one upstairs; many bathrooms. Only downside in summer is to get main floor comfortable it's a bit cold in basement and a bit warm upstairs. All told, tho, a beautiful, well-stocked house that we'll likely return to.
