This was a relaxing and cozy place to stay for a few nights in Brevard. It is super close to downtown restaurants, but private with gorgeous views. We loved exploring the walking paths on the property and listening to the frogs at night.

The pictures don’t do this unique and stunning place justice! It was sooo peaceful, relaxing, gorgeous, and everything I needed was at my fingertips. It’s a place you legit only see in the movies with acres and acres of land, cabins surrounded by mountains, a flowing river for tubing, or fishing, and beautiful ponds nearby with available kayaks with vests for anyone’s use! I could go on and on about how exquisite this place was, but truly it’s a must see for yourself. That and Ms Dionne was suchhh a sweetheart, always ready to help with anything I needed. I’ll definitely be back in the future ??

Bear Cabin at Deerwood provided the remote feeling of being in the woods, yet it was just minutes from town. The trails were beautifully manicured and marked with scenic surroundings. The cabin was precious and we enjoyed the artwork created by previous owners. Dionne was kind, proactive, and prompt. We would definitely stay there again!

Perfect Spot for a Getaway

by Monique

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.

Plan to Book Again for Future Trips!

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!
