Bear Cottage Black Mountain North Carolina

Come see charming Black Mountain and relax at the Bear Cottage. Whether you’re here to rest, shop, ski, hike, sightsee or just spend time with friends and family you have found your destination. The Bear Cottage is brand new construction, for your comfort, cleanliness and convenience!

Be sure to have your coffee on the front porch while the sun rises. When you’re ready to close out your fabulous day head to the back elevated deck to sip on your sunset cocktail!!! If you feel a little chill in the air, cozy up to the propane fire pit and lean back to enjoy the stars!

The Bear Cottage offers 3 spacious bedrooms, dinning area and a great room for playing games or watching TV. Remember to bring your “login” to stream any entertainment provider. A full size laundry room with an additional sink is available to help save on over packing.

Enjoy an evening cooking a gourmet meal or walk out the door and head straight to a fabulous dinner at one the many wonderful local restaurants. Recommendations are in the welcome packet however feel free to share your dinning experiences. These will help future guests and will be handy references when you return.

Your privacy matters to us. There are “blink” cameras on the front porch and underneath the back deck. These are only used for security when no one is staying in the house. There are no cameras inside of the Bear Cottage.

Are you driving or flying? The Bear Cottage is less than 30 minutes from the Asheville airport! Whether you’re driving or renting a car the driveway has 2 parking spots exclusive to you. You may choose to ride share over since the accessibility to the center of Black Mountain is only 1.2 miles away, the grocery store is less than 2 miles and the town of Montreat is only 1 mile away. If you’re going to take full advantage of the Blue Ridge Mountains and all western Carolina has to offer a vehicle will be extremely beneficial. Downtown Asheville has so many amazing places from local breweries to arts and entertainment. Don’t forget to travel south to visit Lake Lure or head north for a day at Grandfather Mountain and maybe a stop at the caves in Linville falls.

If you enjoy nature then the Bear Cottage and the town of Black Mountain are for you. From the birds singing, to the deer stopping by for a snack and all the other animals you may have the opportunity to see, who knows what other memories you might discover.

We can’t wait for your vacation to begin!!!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Perfect Stay! Our family had an incredible time at Bear Cottage in Black Mountain, North Carolina! The house is absolutely beautiful—spotless, cozy, and so well taken care of. The host truly thought of every detail and provided everything you could possibly need—and so much more. Wow, what a wonderful surprise! The neighborhood was peaceful and charming, yet just minutes from downtown Black Mountain. We loved how close we were to all the activities, restaurants, and shops. During our visit, the town hosted a dog costume parade and an art festival, which made our stay even more special and fun. The local food scene is amazing, and we enjoyed exploring all the nearby dining options. We’re so grateful for such a perfect getaway and can’t wait to stay at Bear Cottage again. Highly recommend—it’s a gem!

Beautiful, clean, open floor plan close to downtown Black Mountain

We had a blast and were so happy with the space -- very clean and very well stocked in every way! The location is very close to downtown. Not really walkable because of winding, narrow roads, etc., but it was literally a mile or so from lots of places we wanted to go in Black Mountain! We highly recommend hikes near Montreat, Open Oven restaurant for brunch, and My Father's Pizza for dinner! This location is also just a very short drive (15-20 minutes?) to Asheville.

Fabulous Property and Wonderful Town

If you're considering this place, just book it, don't hesitate. Our family had such a great time exploring Black Mountain and the surrounding area. Bear Cottage was the perfect base to see and do everything we wanted: Hendersonville & Pinball Museum, the town of Brevard and waterfalls, Chimney Rock, Cherokee, The Smoky Mountains and the Cataloochee Valley, we even made it to Dollywood & Buccee's!! The rental was very comfortable and had absolutely everything we needed. This was our first time to this part of the country so we had a lot of questions. Ryan was incredibly responsive and provided a wealth of information. When, not if, we come back this is the only place we'll stay. - Thank you for helping our family create beautiful memories!

Perfect!

My family and I, four adults, stayed at Ryan’s place for the week of Christmas. It worked out perfectly for us. The house was clean and the kitchen had everything we needed. The guests bedrooms and master bedroom we’re on opposite ends of the house, which provided some privacy. We had Christmas dinner at the house and played games from the assortment provided. There was an Alexia and she was more than happy to play any music we asked for. Other than Christmas, we were out every afternoon and evening. The house is very close to downtown Black Mountain and you could even walk there on a nice day. Black Mountain has several good restaurants, breweries and shops. There’s even an awesome hiking trail called Lookout. The house is also within a quick drive to Asheville and Chimney Rock. Ryan was an awesome host and very responsive! We had no problems with the house, except for when we tried to get in the first time, which was user error. But Ryan was able to get us in without a problem. We would definitely use this house again and will recommend to friends.
