About this property

Bear Creek Retreat

Cozy pet friendly cabin retreat in Carolina Vistas in Robbinsville NC. Beautiful views of the valley and majestic mountains from the large wrap around deck. Quiet and peaceful, close to the Tail of the dragon, the south entrance of The Great Smoky Mountain National Park/cades cove area and Fontana Dam/Village. Endless hiking/fishing/ water sport activities to choose from in the area; along with browsing the shops or dining in one of the small nearby towns like Bryson City or Sylva.
The space
The cabin is warm and inviting. You can bring your pet for an additional 40.00 fee. There is plenty if room to roam around the cabin and take a walk with your dog if you like. There is a firepit area down in the front of the cabin if you want to roast some hotdogs or make some smores, or just sip and chill. The deck has a grill and is a great place to enjoy your morning coffee as you plan your days activities. The interior is all beautiful tongue and groove pine with a cathedral ceiling , living area with gas log fireplace that operates off a remote adjoined by a dining area with a coffee/wine bar that opens into the full kitchen . Off that area is a bedroom with a new queen bed with a dresser and closet. There is also a full bath with a shower/tub combo. Up in the loft is another new queen bed with a dresser - just watch your head if you are tall...the center of the room is about 6 ft or so. Great area for the kids!
Guest access
You have full access to the entire space. There is plenty of space for parking. The laundry is in the heated garage and the key to the door is hanging on the key rack in the cabin. The garage area is available for you to store your motorcycles/mountain bikes /ATVs/ kayaks etc for an additional 15.00 per stay...just let me know.
Other things to note
We are in a little development called Carolina Vistas . There are neighbors but the cabin is still relatively private. Please be kind and keep any noise and music to a minimum after the sun sets. We are in the mountains so please keep an eye out for wildlife.

First of all the location is fantastic. It's close enough to Robinsonville for groceries and right off 28 for access to the dam, Cherohala, Foothills parkway, and the Blue Ridge ParkwayThe garage is great and fits two vehicles. The cabin is nice and cozy. We enjoyed morning coffee on the porch. The mini split heat pumps kept everything comfy even though there was a heat wave outside Thanks for sharing this haven with us!!

We had a great stay! The cabin is super cozy and had all the essentials for us (including the dogs). Very quiet and feels private, even with other cabins nearby. Our dogs loved running around the yard and catching all the smells :) Great place if you’re looking for a peaceful retreat in the mountains. The host communicated everything upfront and checked in on us throughout our stay; a couple winter storms came through so we stocked up on food ahead of time. Cabin was clean, well kept, and nicely decorated. Would stay here again!

My pup and I had a lovely long weekend at Bear Creek cabin. We spent most of our time on the front covered deck (I super enjoyed watching a rainstorm roll in!) but also took some walks around the neighborhood; my pup loved all the smells! Some things about the cabin I particularly appreciated: I work remotely and the Wifi was excellent, the tv had the Peacock app so I was able to watch the football match I was hoping to watch, and I forgot shower soap but there was body wash in the shower. I’m also a solo female traveler and felt totally safe while at the cabin.

Charming, secluded cabin, conveniently located just off highway 28. Everything was clean and comfortable. Absolutely no complaints about the home. My only non-5-star thought concerns the somewhat rustic gravel road that connects Lower Tuskegee Rd to the nicely paved approach and driveway. It's not a big deal for me personally. I just wasn't expecting it. If you're staying here with a high performance, low ground clearance kind of vehicle, just be aware that, albeit relatively short, a gravel road is involved.

About the host

Hosted by Beth Dorsey

Host profile image
I live in Saint Augustine Florida. I have 4 cats, a large poodle and three horses. I love to ride, practice yoga and SUP (stand up paddle) cook and entertain. I am so very fortunate to be able to enjoy the beach and the mountains. My husband and I fell in love with the area when I stayed a friends cabin 10 years ago. She is a realtor, owns multiple properties in several states and guided me into hosting. I Own two other cabins in the area and manage Bear creek for some close friends that also live in Saint Augustine. They are currently renovating another cabin in the development and we hope to have it available for guests soon!

Why they chose this property

The owners are motorcycle enthusiasts and loved the proximity of the development to some of the wonderful roads there are to explore in the area. The cabin puts you about 25 min from The Tail of the Dragon/Deals gap and the drive over from the cabin on Rt 28 is also fun and challenging. The neighborhood is peaceful and remote...but accessible on a motorcycle.

What makes this property unique

The cabin offers a large garage for vehicle storage- and the owners have paved part of the road and the entire driveway to make riding in and out easy. The cabin is all tongue and grove pine inside. There is a large yard and a large covered wrap porch with a gate -perfect for those travelling with pets. There is a nice short range mountain view from the deck that even opens up more during the fall and winter.
