Description:
The Poplars at Bearwallow Mountain consists of 2 unique mountain lodges; Bearwallow Retreat is a newly constructed, high-end vacation rental; designed with you, our guest specifically in mind. It's sister home, Bearwallow Cottage is one of the most popular homes in our Yonder luxury portfolio, as it has been operating for over 5 years(!). These mountain homes were designed to accommodate large groups for any occasion, with Bearwallow Mt and nature as your stunning backdrop. The Poplars at Bearwallow is quickly becoming a favorite retreat for guests! It is not surprising when you put terrific homes together with a private, secure property, hot tub extensive outdoor space to walk, run, or ride a bike with views and more.

And of course, the new Event/Wedding Pavilion! Built specifically for mountain weddings, receptions and more, with room for up to 75 guests, this pavilion is the perfect location for whatever event you plan to host. There is electricity, lighting and much more for hosting your special occasion.

25 minutes' drive (16 miles) to downtown Asheville, our secluded Cottage & Retreat homes on Bearwallow Mountain have breathtaking views of Blue Ridge Mountains from spacious front porches, back decks & covered verandas. Newly built, and/or upgraded kitchen and bathrooms. Right-off-the-property, easy-access hiking trails to breath-taking views.on the top of the Bearwallow mountainside; just a short drive to just about everything. It is VERY easy to access the homes, via only paved roads right up to Bearwallow Mountain Road, which is gravel, but used by all vehicles. The home affords year round access, does NOT require 4-wheel drive except in Winter.

Open, light-filled interiors with bedrooms & full baths, and ample loft spaces plus so much indoor gathering spaces at both homes. Inviting, spacious outdoor areas with breath-taking views ideal for lounging, birdwatching, dining, dancing and truly getting away from it all. These special homes are nestled in mountains and is made for people who love beautiful mountain scenery.

Get ready to feel relaxed and "right at home" in these spacious yet cozy, contemporary mountain style retreat homes. With mountain & forest views, high ceilings, vaulted spaces, wood, carpet and tile floors, you will immediately feel at home at both Bearwallow Retreat & Bearwallow Cottage. (That is of course if you can tear yourself away from the relaxing forest views & soaking in spectacle of the Blue Ridge Mountains, & actually venture inside!) If you need some "alone time", there is plenty of space inside and out to find your own serenity. There are outside porches, decks, and patios for ultimate outdoor relaxation & private forest views, and the large hot tub.

Kids & adults love getting out in and around the expansive private enclave & explore the other outdoor areas. While everyone enjoys the homes and on-site & nearby amenities, you can pull up a chair and take in the relaxing privacy afforded by the mountainside forest view, observe the night as it fills with stars, and watch the fire flies come out to play in your backyard. Or, toast some s'mores and share stories, well into the star-filled nights at the expansive outdoor fire-pit.

Take a seat and enjoy the sound of nature and the serenity in your own private paradise at the top of the world. The private estate property offers lots of acreage for nature walks and exploring, and other exercise on the mountain without leaving the community property. You also can walk to 2 different off-site hiking trails on Bearwallow Mountain. And of course, just relaxing in the hot tub with a beer or glass of wine & letting everything bubble away.

You are just minutes from America's favorite scenic byway, The Blue Ridge Parkway, motorcycle touring, biking, hiking, white water rafting, rock climbing, kayaking, canoeing, zip lining, Segway tour…just about any outdoor activity! Or, take a quick ride to downtown Hendersonville, or up to downtown Asheville to enjoy the first-rate restaurants, shopping, galleries, spas, and entertainment.

Our family stayed here for 3 nights, Thursday-Sunday and my husband and I got married on the property and had a reception at the pavilion. This location was beautiful and Allan was terrific and so quick to answer questions. We could not have enjoyed our stay more

Perfection!
We absolutely loved our stay at the Poplars at Bearwallow! Both houses were fabulous and had everything we needed. The labeled drawers, cabinets and light switches were super helpful, and we loved all of the little touches like string lights that just made everything so cozy! Oh, and the pickleball court was awesome! We would definitely stay here again.

Great weekend!
We were a group of friends having a mini reunion and had a wonderful time. We rented both houses, and there was plenty of space for all of us. We really enjoyed the amount of room that the space provided for the entire group- and the outdoor seating on the decks of the houses was so nice in the beautifully mountains! The communication with the manager was super easy and the entire experience was professional and very easy. We would definitely go back!
