About this property

Mountain Cabin w/ Hot Tub & Cozy Loft

Thank you for considering Bear Cabin Escape. This cabin will be perfect for you if:

• You enjoyed wildlife, nature, and the mountains
• You’re comfortable staying in a relatively remote area
• You enjoy amenities like fast Wi-Fi, outdoor fireplace, and multiple areas to relax

This may not be the best place for you if:

• You do not have 4WD for the winter months
• You need it to be “AC cold” in the summer months
• You would like to be walking distance to amenities

All questions are welcome

Our rustic home provides a perfect balance of relaxation, activities, nature and more. When going to the mountains we believe you should enjoy the amenities the mountain offers. There are plenty of hiking trails in the area as well as places to do your other favorite outdoor activities.

If you want to just stay at the house this is the perfect place to relax. Seating in the backyard with a table to enjoy meals or just relax. Make full use of the outdoor fireplace if you want to stay warm during the winter or if you just want to roast marshmallows. Inside the home we have plenty of amenities for your use:

There is a large dining room table that comfortably seats 4 as well as 2 more seats at the breakfast bar. Use the wood burning stove to warm up the home and enjoy the fire while having dinner or your morning coffee.

The kitchen has all the essential and then some. There is a range, full size refrigerator, and a brand-new large microwave. All the dishes, pots and pans, cooking utensils, and other kitchenware is provided. We have a drip coffee pot (just bring filters and your favorite coffee) as well as blender.

The main living room is the perfect place for you and your loved ones to get together and relax. Cozy up with the faux fireplace heater that has a flat screen TV on top with a Roku for all your streaming needs. The brand-new sectional is extremely comfortable and has plenty of room for 4 people. Lastly there is a small desk in the corner so that if you want to get some work done but still be around everyone else you can be.

The downstairs bed and bath area is equipped with a brand-new queen bed. The bedroom has a closet with hangers provided if you would like to hang up any of your clothes. Just across the hall is the full bathroom. We provide all the linens you would need as well as a hairdryer.

In the upstairs you have a separate seating area with its own couch an TV, which is also equipped with a Roku. This area can be used for getting away to relax by yourself and read or a place for the kids to be separate from the rest of the family if desired. In the bedroom you have a king-sized bed with a full-sized dresser.

Provided for your stay are:

Towels
Soap
Shampoo
Conditioner
Dishwashing liquid
Firewood
Hairdryer
Iron
Fans

There will be detailed driving directions to get to the house in the prearrival message when you book. You can park right at the house.

*Please make sure to indicate within the Airbnb platform if you plan on bringing pets. There is a one time $100 pet fee that ends up being split up over the number of nights that you are staying and it will reflect in the nightly rate. We allow up to 2 dogs*

We own other properties in the mountains so no need to worry as we will always do our best to take care of you. Our guests also have access to several of our mobile phones for quick and easy access to us. We hope you enjoy our home as much as we do and please don’t hesitate to ask us any questions, advice, or suggestions.

Peaceful stay in the mountains

Really a lovely place in the mountains. About an hour ride north of Asheville. Would definitely stay again. Great couples getaway. Pros- private, beautiful view, hot tub, super roomy space, easy to find Cons-10am check out, no spices at all in the kitchen so bring your own for cooking, internet is pretty bad

Secluded mountain getaway

If you're looking for a secluded mountain getaway with Wi-Fi as a bonus this is your place. The owner was very responsive, we were allowed to bring our pets which is always a must for us, and it was exactly as described. We were able to get in and out of the driveway without all wheel drive with no problem. Thanks!

The cabin was filthy. The trash hadn't been taken out. The beds hadn't been changed. The hot tub was low on water and cold. There were trees growing out of the gutters. Deck was covered with moss, very slick. Dirty dishes in the sink. It was disgusting and we had driven 8 hours to get there. We put our stuff back in the car and left

Charming location, peaceful setting. The tin roof was lovely, especially with the rainy drizzles that passed through during our stay. However, I'm assuming this property sat vacant for most of this previous year due to Helene. It feels very overdue for a deep clean. The surfaces and floors were clean, but inside/ under furniture looked like it hadn't been touched in a while. Mold in the laundry closet. What looked like mold on the bathroom ceiling and on the downstairs bedroom wall, at least water damage. There's a charming woodsy smell, and then there's just mold/ mildew smell. This cabin was mostly the latter.Hot water heater thermostat was set too high, causing the safety switch to trigger, meaning we had to babysit the reset switch if we wanted hot water. The hot tub worked well and was a nice guarantee of warm water. Any clothes we washed now smell of musty water, making me skeptical of any water filtration.The exterior is extremely overgrown, with plants growing out of the gutters - that's at least a year of plant matter buildup, plus the time for all the new plants to grow. The mountain foliage is encroaching around the property. It's a shame - the pictures and exterior terracing show that it was once cared for, but it hasn't been maintained in quite some time.There was nothing offensively wrong with our stay, but I don't see the value in the price I paid. I hope that this cabin gets the attention it deserves, because it's a lovely spot otherwise.

Relaxing Getaway

We had a really lovely time hiking in the area and then coming back to the cabin to relax. Sitting in the hot tub surrounded by flowers, hummingbirds, and butterflies. It was a great getaway.

Please update the advertisement to say this property is located at the end of a very small road that is very over grown with briars and branches. I drove a full size truck and the sides were scratched immensely by the branches and briars. Parking was horribly…very narrow driveway straight up with nowhere to go at the top! Very little room to even get out and walk around the vehicle! Not at all well maintained on the outside or roads up to it! No air conditioning!! Overall the house/bedrooms okay. Hot tub needed to be cleaned and filled…very low on water any no hose anywhere to add water to it! Drawers in the kitchen were falling apart..no bottom in some of them. Property and land around really needs some attention!

Overall we had a great time! Beautiful area with lots to see and explore! The cabin was great, clean and quiet.The host was excellent and very responsive to the issue we had. The property has a neighbor who is really close but we only saw him once in the week we were there. Definitely 5 stars and speaking of the stars, the view from the hot tub was great!

Just what we imagined!!

We were pleasantly surprised by this little getaway. It was a lot more spacious than we originally thought and we were so comfortable there. We even got to see a little snow! That was the cherry on top for a great stay!! Also, little tip for newcomers, be sure to download the instructions and follow exactly what the owners tell you, the GPS is not far off, but having landmarks as reference definitely make you feel more at ease. You really will NOT have any signal going up there (which is kinda the point, if you ask me) but fear not, the wifi signal in the cabin is great. We definitely would enjoy going back!

Absolutely beautiful!

We loved our stay here! Completely remote and off the grid! Definitely will go back, however, the other reviews are correct in stating to start the hot tub as soon as you check in, we only booked Friday-Sunday and didn’t get to use the hot tub because it took until Sunday morning to get to 87 degrees, even though we started it the moment we checked in Friday afternoon while this was a huge disappointment the rest of the stay was definitely worth it. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you could need, they provide laundry as well, and plenty of wood to provide heat as the properties heating is only by baseboard heat, wood stove and a lovely electric fire place in the living room! Again we will definitely return in the future! Just wouldn’t recommend booking only for a weekend if you are intending on using the hot tub! Thank you to the host for providing us with a lovely mountain getaway!

About the host

Hosted by Joe Bafia

Host profile image
After owning other cabins in the town of Mars Hill, we decided to branch out and expand since we love the mountains so much. Burnsville is another mountain town that allows you to enjoy the beauty of Western North Carolina. We are hoping to share out love of the mountains with everyone else.

Why they chose this property

We wanted a place that was away from the hustle of the big cities. There is plenty to do in the surrounding area but ultimately we wanted to have a place to get away from the commotion. Asheville is approximately an hour away which makes day trips very feasible and feel like mini vacations while we are already on vacation.

What makes this property unique

You are able to get the mountain feel and the privacy but you are not completely removed for civilization. The home gives you the rustic feel but has modern features to make your stay as comfortable as possible. Plenty of room to spread out if desired but also wonderful communal areas inside and outside of the house to make memories with your loved ones.
