Amazing!!!

Bear Creek is nestled neatly in the woods near DuPont Forest and Brevard, NC in Cleveland, SC. Quaint, clean, comfortable, and private! Beautifully decorated and equipped with all the necessities to make it home away from home! Thankful for the gas fireplace for those cool mornings and evenings. Beds are super comfy! Everything was just perfect! So close to Pretty Place Chapel, Brevard, and all the waterfalls nearby. I was with 4 kids and we all enjoyed the exploring area around the cabin. Can’t wait to return!!

Restful Springtime Holiday

Perfect spot for a peaceful holiday in nature. Great location for walking trails and cycling. We also enjoyed spending time in Brevard. It's a lovely welcoming town with lots of creative vibes and a great bookshop. Earth Mountain Bicycle (bike hire/shop), Brevard Yoga Studio and Brevard Pottery are all highly recommended.

Perfect Ratings for a reason!!

We visited the area for my son's wedding at A Pretty Place chapel, and needed a place to stay for my family. It was so close to the chapel, less than 15 minutes away. This property had excellent ratings all the way around, that is why I chose it, and it was PERFECT! It had EVERYTHING you could wish for in a mountain getaway. The pictures do not do it justice, it far exceeded my expectations. I would love to visit again, I just need an excuse. You will not be disappointed.

Time to relax and reset

Bear Creek is very inviting, well stocked and comfy. The back porch is amazing for morning coffee and the fire pit is perfect to end the night with a cocktail. Exactly what we needed to visit with dear friends, relax and reset after a few crazy months.

Bear creek vacation

My family and I had a wonderful time staying at the cabin. We unfortunately were evacuated due to wildfires in the middle of the week and Jan was very helpful, caring and accommodating for us as we had to leave abruptly in the middle of the night. Otherwise the property is beautiful. The cabin is spacious and feels like home and we loved the kitchen and location to near rivers and waterfalls.

What a great place

Long weekend with some lifelong friends. This is a great property, very comfortable and inviting. All my communications with the owners were seamless and all questions answered quickly and completely. Small things add up, and you can tell that the owners have done a lot of little things that add a bit of an upscale feeling to a very comfortable place. I wouldn't hesitate to plan another trip here.

Perfect Getaway

We chose this place because it was close to where I am currently working. My family was able to come up and spend a week with me while I still went to work. The cabin was perfect and well stocked with everything we needed. Very quiet area and close by to hiking trails and waterfalls. We loved it and hand a great time

About the host

Hosted by Jan and Jon Backman

Host profile image
The cabin was a dream and we broke ground in 2007 to build Bear Creek. During construction, a friendly bear was seen many times at the creek watching as the construction progressed, so we named the cabin "Bear Creek". There is no better place to come and relax after working in the city. Bring your CD music and play your favorite mountain tunes! My personal favorite is watching the sunrise with a hot cup of coffee on the back porch. At night you will enjoy the mountain sounds, tree frogs and katydids will sing you to sleep. "The stars shine brighter at night at Bear Creek!" Thank you for visiting us, Jan & Jon
