Nestled on 3 acres of mountainside splendor, Blue Bear Cabin offers peace and tranquility while giving you the feeling of never wanting to leave. Located only 30 minutes from Black Mountain, 45 minutes from Asheville, and just 20 minutes to Lake Lure, you're far enough away from town but close enough to the amenities of fine dining, shopping, and local attractions. Blue Bear Cabin is a wonderful log cabin with features as follows: Main floor: full hall bath; bedroom with a Queen and full bath, and second bedroom with a double-sized bed. A modern, well-equipped kitchen and a cozy great room with a gas log fireplace, flat-screen television, and a dining area that seats up to six. The second floor offers a third bedroom with a queen, a half bath, and a loft area for reading and surfing the internet on a wireless network. The loft includes a queen sofa bed. The cabin has an expansive wrap-around deck with a covered roof in the front and rear offering expansive views and plenty of space to picnic, grill, or just kick back and relax, as well as a luxury hot tub (photos coming soon)! The finished basement, downstairs, includes a checkers table, a sitting/reading area, a gas fireplace, and a half bath. Beware, at dusk or dawn when the bluish hue of the Blue Ridge mountains is most intense, you may be privileged to see an ambling black bear pass by, which may appear to share the same blue hue as the surrounding mountains! Please note: This house is dog-friendly, with a $100.00 non-refundable fee per dog (maximum of two). Sorry, this home is not cat-friendly due to common allergies. The driveway down to the cabin is NOT suitable for trailers or campers. Satellite Wifi is available at this home, but due to the internet provider and secluded location, you will only be able to check emails and surf the web. We're sorry, but you are limited in your ability to stream movies, music, or play games through the internet. Cell phone service is not guaranteed. You may check with your service provider to see if the service is available. During the colder winter months, icy and/or snowy road conditions and delayed snow plow operations are possible within the development. From December through March, please come prepared with AWD or 4WD vehicles. We also highly recommend travel insurance. A hot tub has been added as of September 2022.
