Wonderful condo inside a beautiful mountain resort community. It's a little off the beaten path but that makes it that much better. I wouldn't hesitate to book this property again. Exactly what we needed to beat the Florida heat.

Relaxing weekend in the mountains

Great place to stay for couples and young children! My wife and I and our 6-month-old stayed at the property with friends of ours and their 1-year-old. The condo has awesome views of the lake and it's just a 5 min walk down an easy trail to the Lake Club, with an indoor/outdoor restaurant, weekend coffee shop, and equipment rentals. The condo itself was very clean, driving and check-in instructions were very clear, and Darlene was very communicative leading up to and during our stay. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend for a relaxing mountain weekend!

Serene Sanctuary

This property is situated in a very convenient location - we love the easy access to the lake and the amenities. The view is very serene and we soaked in the misty mountain mornings every day before heading out for some lake fun. We adore everything about Bear Lake and will definitely be back. The hosts of this property were wonderful and clearly care about their guest satisfaction. Cozy, clean and comfortable. We'll be back!

Hidden Gem In the Mountains of North Carolina

Unit was in great shape and well organized. Communication with property manager was outstanding. Unit overlooks lake and is a short walk to the Lake Club (we ate there several times, had coffee at the Bear & Bean coffee shop & took out kayaks). The 9 hole golf course at top of mountain had spectacular views and was in good playing condition. Overall, a fun weekend with friends at a special place.

Becoming acquainted with”Fables of the Forest”

We had a lovely time and felt very comfortable. The view from the porch is spectacular, and the interior is pleasingly and appropriately appointed. It is a very nice space to be in. I noticed all the thoughtful touches that this owner has implemented, including adequate cooking gear and dishes, with everything labeled and organized just so. This space is clearly cherished, and organized to cherish its guests.
