About this property

The Ole Bear cabin is a fully furnished 2 br/1 ba surrounded by the beautiful Cherokee National Forest and overlooking historic Coker Creek. This rustic mountain cabin is nestled in the SE corner of TN between GA and NC with a backyard filled with hundreds of miles of recreation. The Ole Bear is the perfect destination for a romantic getaway, family vacation, or an adventure filled weekend.

Have some relaxation time at the Ole Bear cabin with a morning cup of coffee in a rocking chair on the private wrap-around porch while taking in views of the Unicoi Mountains and listening to the calming sounds of water flowing in historic Coker Creek or perhaps enjoy the song of the Whip-poor-will while having a romantic candlelit dinner at the outdoor dining area overlooking the firepit.

The cabin was spotless. We got a warm welcomed with a cheese ball and a basket of wine, plus music playing from the TV. The place is cozy and beautiful. Very comfortable and it has all the amenities that you need. We will definitely come back.

Peaceful get away!

Beautiful cabin and location. The fall season was in full color during our stay. We loved the fire pit and used it every day during our stay. Can’t wait to go back

Nice cabin hidden away

The cabin had the essentials. Good size kitchen and comfy areas to sit and relax inside and outside. Nice deck space for warmer months. I would call this remote but it depends on where you plan to sight see or just chill out. Short road to cabin had a little loose gravely spots but if you just get going on the paved area it was no problem. We are not used to mountain roads so it would be easy for most. Owner came by to check on us he was very friendly. This was our first time in this area, there were several water falls around and the Cherohala skyway was a short dive away. We brought food in but stores and restaurants are not super close but 20 to 40 minutes puts you at Tellico or McCaysville . I guess that's close considering being so secluded.

About the host

Hosted by Rosemary Pound

After retirement as a School Administrator, years of traveling and building nearing completion, we shifted gears and decided to make our vacation cabin our permanent home. So, in 2014, we packed up our two rescue dogs and moved full-time to this beautiful area. In 2016, fearful of running out of projects (lol), we purchased an adjacent property with a long-time vacation rental in need of some work. After months of blood, sweat and yes, some tears we were ready to again offer the Ole Bear cabin for vacationers to make their own magical mountain memory.

Why they chose this property

My husband and I are longtime RVers that love to travel and explore. In 2010, while on vacation from Florida we searched for an RV friendly property that could serve our needs for a few months out of the year and we were taken by the beauty of this area. We found the perfect property in the Cherokee National Forest a short distance up a mountain overlooking a beautiful creek with a rich history and some of the most scenic falls right down the road, but… restricted against RV's. Convinced this was the perfect location for us we built our dream vacation cabin instead.

What makes this property unique

As the owner of the Ole Bear cabin our goal is to make your mountain escape as memorable as possible. We try to provide everything you may need during your stay, but are available to assist with any questions you may have and ensure everything is to your satisfaction. We are also available to share area information, recommendations and directions (there is a portfolio of area information in the cabin and the Coker Creek Welcome Center with a wealth of information less than 1 mile from the cabin), but otherwise the cabin and property is yours to enjoy as you see fit.
