When you step into Bear-Leigh Made It, you’ll understand the title! The Bear theme is abundant, even though we didn’t get to see any real bears over our three night stay. The cabin is in great shape, with all of the amenities my wife and I needed—wifi worked well most times, but sometime videos buffered. There is one cabin in eyesight below, but there is total privacy due to the terrain. The hot tub was a nice perk.
We had never been to Bryson City, but it was a short drive and was very charming. Lots to do there and of course the Mountains are everywhere along with the park just to the north.
Note that thecabin is towards the top of a very tight and steep road, so make sure you are prepared for that. I imagine it would be tough if there is any snow or ice. Also, if you have a low to the ground car, you might want to be careful. I doubt you need all-wheel drive most days, though.
