Great location, very clean

Perfect location in relation to NOC. I used the horse trails to run each day—easy to get in some good mileage. Kids enjoy d the game too—needs a few more ping pong balls. We used the fire pit for s’mores, and kids were happy the wifi worked. Would stay here again.

Definitely would recommend this cabin to anyone, in fact when we come back we will absolutely book it again.Quiet location, we barely heard a peep from another human our whole stay. Locating the cabin after dark was tricky, but that was our own fault for arriving late. The hosts directions were clear and concise - we just don't follow directions well apparently.The cabin was lovely, clean and well supplied for our needs. I could have spent all day just sitting on the front porch and been satisfied.It is also an easy drive into Bryson City from the cabin. Communication with the host was great.

A picture-perfect cabin in the woods

We could not have asked for a better cabin. It is cozy and quaint, with comfortable beds and nice furniture. The space felt lived in and comfortable, and it was particularly great to have some toys already on site for my two kids (ages 3 and 10). The setting is magnificent, tucked in among the trees and close to all the outdoor activities you could want. We did quite a bit of swimming and boating in two different spots on Fontana Lake. Sadly some of the hiking we wanted to do was scuttled by a rain storm. But we were also happy to be tucked up in our comfy cabin, reading books and playing games while the rain fell outside. I cannot recommend this place enough.

Perfect location, perfect for the family.

We very much enjoyed our stay . We brought 4 sixteen year olds as a birthday trip . They had a great time and loved their room . Great place to walk around and feel comfortable, great neighborhood. With a pool , game room , horse back riding and fireflies lighting up the evening on the porch rocking in the chairs , made for a great mountain get away . Was also very happy with the parking and road not scaring me to death climbing in a minivan . Father in law was there to sleep on the pull out, and slept in one of the two comfy recliners without ever opening the couch . LOL. It’s in a great location, within 20 mins or less of everywhere. Beautiful scenery and all around a good family environment. Quiet and comfy , will plan to come again!

The perfect getaway cabin

Our family enjoyed our trip to the mountains and stay at the Rafting Bear! The cabin was perfect for our family of 4. A peaceful setting in the woods with amenities close by including the Inn, pool, horseback riding and white water rafting! Bryson City is quaint with dining and shops; Cherokee is just down the road. Our girls loved seeing the Elk and exploring trails in the park! We will be back!
