Bearside Retreat: Modern Mountain Home on 3 Private Acres

Bearside Retreat is a modern mountain home tucked away on 3 wooded acres. While you are only 1.5 miles from downtown Black Mountain and 15 minutes from Asheville, the property is situated to offer total seclusion and a sense of being miles away from the noise.

The Space
The layout is open and bright, featuring a vaulted great room with a stone fireplace. The highlight of the home is the expansive wrap-around decking—the best spot to catch the sunrise over the mountains or watch the light change at sunset. It’s an ideal setting for a quiet morning coffee or a slow evening outdoors.

Home Highlights:
- Secluded Setting: 3 private, wooded acres to explore, minutes to downtown Black Mountain & Cheshire Village.

- Modern Amenities: 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, a fully equipped kitchen, and high-speed Wi-Fi.

- Pet-Friendly: We welcome your four-legged family members.

- Outdoor Living: Two decks designed for mountain views and star-filled nights.

Location & Access:
We are located just 1.5 miles from the heart of Black Mountain. The driveway is paved, though it is steep; we recommend AWD or 4WD during winter weather.

Nature & Wildlife:
Wildlife is active here—it is common to see black bears, deer, and wild turkeys. We ask that you enjoy their presence from a safe distance and use caution during your stay.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

This was our 3rd yr in a row staying here for spring break. As always everything was clean and in order and tge check in was easy. It's such a great town and perfect hiking in Old Fort and hitting all the breweries in Asheville and Black Mountain. We look forward to coming back again next year. John and Kim

Perfect mountain retreat!

This modern but cozy cabin is in a PERFECT location, minutes away from downtown black mountain and only about 20 min from Asheville. The cabin is brand new and in excellent shape. The owner put great care in the details, and we had everything we needed. The best part was the enormous wrap around balcony. We will definitely come again!

Perfect mountain getaway home

My family and I had a amazing stay at Bearside Retreat. It was so great being within a few minutes drive into town, yet also being in the middle of the beautiful mountain scenery. It was so peaceful and relaxing. We were even lucky enough to see a small black bear walking thru the backyard from the balcony! Kayla was a wonderful host and thought of all the details! We would love to stay here again next summer!

Aesthetically speaking, it was the cabin of our dreams. The fireplace with that view is PERFECT! The house was spotless and had all the amenities we needed. The host was very attentive and quick to respond to any questions that may have arisen. The house is situated maybe 3min from Black Mountain’s grocery and restaurants. The cabin is only 20min away from downtown Asheville, which was extremely convenient. We cannot wait to come back and visit!

Great extended weekend in Asheville

Wow....this house exceeded all of our expectations.... a fabulous secluded location and just a very short drive to the town of Black Mountain (which is very cool). Everything you need is within a couple of minute drive. The house is new, very well appointed and very clean. The large lot provides a lot of privacy with a great fire pit for evening socializing in a natural setting. You can get to Asheville and all of it's amenities in about 15 easy minutes. We highly recommend this property........ we will definitely be back!!!!!!

Mountain Living At Its Finest!

The house is everything we could have expected and more. You walk in and you are greeted with a “new house smell,” which we are always fond of. Every detail was thought of in this home. And the home was immaculately clean. I am a bit of a clean nut and lookout for things like cobwebs or bugs and happy to say this house has neither. We enjoyed several evenings by the fireplace and enjoying the beautiful deck. Location to Ingles and downtown Black mountain could not be beat. You are in the mountains but literally 5 minutes from everything. Including the highway which takes you into prime locations like Asheville and the Biltmore. We were very impressed with the home, its location, privacy, and the overall experience. One thing to note, the house does sit on a steep hill. Our SUV without all wheel drive was able to maneuver without any issues, but with snow or ice, I would recommend AWD. We have shared the listing with several friends and family already. Can’t wait to stay here again!

Great Mountain Getaway

Our family of 4, and pup, enjoyed our stay at the Bearside Retreat very much. The property is in a fantastic location, as it gives you the beauty and blissfulness of the mountains while also just being a short drive away from the town of Black Mountain. The view of the mountains from the deck will be etched in my memory forever. The trail on the property provides a place to take dog walks, exercise, and exploring. The black bear family around the property provided our family much entertainment. They added to that "true" mountain experience that we were hoping for. The property is steep, be prepared for that. You will leave in better physical shape than when you arrived, yet another perk of the property! The house was perfect size for our family of 4 and pup. The master bedroom is upstairs, as the other two bedrooms are downstairs. We loved that the kids had one level of the house to themselves, and Mom and Dad had the other. The house was pristine upon our arrival. It was a great place to retreat to after a day on the trails and exploring. The sunset from the porch at night will keep you coming back for more. The town of Black Mountain was all we could have asked for and more. Before we left on our trip, we were telling everyone that we were going to Asheville. When we arrived in Black Mountain and discovered that they had a plethora of restaurants and shops, there was no need to ever go to Asheville. If you are a fan of that "small-town" feel, Black Mountain is your place
