Peaceful get away

This was such a nice place to stay! Everything was clean and comfortable! We had such relaxing time sitting by the creek, roasting marshmallows, the kids loved the hot tub. The hosts went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed! This little mountain town is still struggling after the hurricane so we tried to give help wherever we could! Glad we could support some local businesses and hope to go back soon and watch this mountain rebuild! If you are looking for a rural place to stay that is quiet and away from all the hustle and bustle this is a great location!

Great stay!

Hal & Margie’s cabin had everything we needed for an extended weekend away in Lansing. We enjoyed the DVD collection, games, and cozy fireplace. The hot tub coupled with the sound of the babbling brook was a lovely addition. We would stay again. Thanks again Hal & Margie

About the host

Hosted by Hal and Margie Kluttz

Host profile image
Bear Wallow Creekside Retreat is owned and operated by Hal and Margie Kluttz from Lincolnton, NC. Hal is a retired Police Detective Lieutenant and Margie is the retired President of Harper Corporation of America, a manufacturing business that reconditions printing cylinders. Hal's mother was born and raised in the NC Mountains and Hal has been coming to Ashe County all his life.

Why they chose this property

Hal and Margie have been spending time in Ashe County since they were married over (30) years ago. They fell in love with the cabins along the peaceful shores of the Big Horse Creek. They love the people, the peace and tranquility of the rustic setting, and the small town mountain flavor, the pace really slows down when you spend time at this lovely place.

What makes this property unique

Spending the summer nights listening to the water flow down the creek and feeling the cool mountain air from our open bedroom window was relaxing beyond description. There is just so much to see and do in Ashe County. This became our home away from home.
