Loved our stay with our pup! Loved exploring the area special shout-out to the hammocks and bamboo forest. The location was great with a lot of hiking near by and we loved the cabin.
SO beautiful!! It is the perfect mountain oasis. We had miles of trails all to ourselves. This was our 2nd time staying here and are planning to return again. If I could give it 10 stars I would.
This is an a absolute gorgeous property that no words can describe. From the lakes to the river to the walking trails to the bamboo forest to the cabins this was an incredible experience and will most definitely be coming here i the near future
Perfect spot for a getaway. The location was peaceful and beautiful, with breathtaking views of mountains, French Broad river, ponds and forests. Lots of opportunities for hiking, fishing, kayaking, bird watching, wildlife encounters, bonfire or just sitting and rocking on the porch. Downtown Brevard was just a short drive away as was Ingles. The Bear Cabin was a Studio set-up and the perfect size for the two of us plus our lab mix. The cabin decor was warm and inviting. The history behind the wildlife reserve is also fascinating and is written in their guest book. Had we known it was going to be this wonderful we would've booked a longer stay. Definitely a do-over.
What a perfect place to get away from the hustle and bustle and enjoy the peace of nature. The cabin is very comfortable and well laid out. The view from the porch is great...we saw lots of wildlife. It's a short 5 minute ride into town for coffee, food, breweries, shopping but at the cabin it feels like they're worlds away! It's not the place if you want huge and fancy but it's VERY romantic and cozy and just perfect for a couples get away! We really enjoyed our stay at Bear Cabin and plan to book it again for future trips. We loved that they had a Christmas tree in there (our visit was around Christmas) it was such a nice and warm touch!

Judge Forsythe was born 11/26/1853. He was married to Julia Nathalie, who was born 5/14/1860, and they married 5/14/1877. They moved into the house and added a wing to it. They had one son and two daughters. James A. Forsythe Jr. (1882 – 1957), Margaret Elizabeth ( 4/21/1885 – 9/16/1886) and Ellen Harllee Forsythe Vermilye (11/4/1888 – 1/24/1936). Julia died 5/14/1923 and Judge Forsythe died in 1925. They are all buried in the Gillispie Cemetery in Brevard. Elizabeth was originally buried on the property but because of the grave being washed by rains, was later transferred to Gillispie Cemetery. There are stories and accounts of baby ghost Elizabeth haunting the Big Log Cabin, which was built on the site of the original homestead.
