Bearwallow Cottage | Mountain Cottage with Hiking, Biking, and Views!

Perched at the top of Bearwallow Mountain, Bearwallow Cottage is a private mountain retreat designed to travel—surrounded by views, room to gather, space to explore, and easy access to Asheville, Hendersonville, and the Blue Ridge Parkway. This 4-bedroom, 3-bath home combines the peaceful feeling of being away from it all with a spacious porch with sweeping mountain views, a stone fireplace, updated kitchen and baths, an outdoor fire pit, safe open space for children to play, and nearby hiking right from the mountain. Just 25 minutes from downtown Asheville, Bearwallow Cottage is the kind of stay guests book when they want privacy, scenery, and a true Western North Carolina mountain experience.
