About this cabin rental
Bears Den cottage is located on a dead end mountain road backing up to the Pisgah Natl Forest, just N. of Asheville. It is just minutes from Navitat, WNC's only zipline!! The home is decorated to match the mountains, easy going and peaceful. Sit by the creek on the property or listen to the roar of the river below. There is hiking at Douglas Falls down the road. The lawn is beautifully landscaped with different varieties of flowers all season long. When in season, pick fresh blackberries and raspberries in the front yard. Enjoy a book or glass of wine on the wrap around porch or soak in the 6 person hot tub that sits up on a deck. The property is very secluded and quiet, yet close to many fun things to do...including whitewater rafting, gem mining, shopping, restaurants and the Biltmore Estate. It is the perfect vacation spot, we love it and know you will too. Behaved Pets welcome.
Our Mission: It is our goal to provide you with everything that you will need to make Bear's Den your home away from home. If you have special requests prior to arrival, we will do our best to accommodate your needs. All you will need is your toiletries and food.
Our Story: We operate Bears Den Cottage ourselves. We both have a background in hospitality including working at a 4 star AAA rated bed and breakfast in Colorado. We fell in love with Bears Den the first time we saw it. We have an excellent team of care takers that make sure it is just how we would have it.
Bears Den has a magical feel to it...you can almost see the fairies dancing in the flower gardens. :) We sit on the porch for hours watching the birds, butterflies and humming birds and listening to the river below. The house is open and airy with a big picture window looking out into the forest. The cottage is decorated appropriately with bears, flowers and inspirational signs to make your trip the mountains relaxing and enjoyable. There is a good chance of seeing wild life at this property. We guarantee you will have an excellent time.

The location is secluded and lovely, particularly for nature lovers like us. The amenities were basic, neither fancy nor sub-standard. Communication with the host was easy. We will be recommending the place to our daughter’s in-laws for their upcoming visit.

Hot tub was a definite answered prayer. The only thing was I wished it was closer to the house. The pros far out weighed the cons. Our stay was comfortable and cozy.

Quaint, quiet, and comfortable. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, even though the stairs and uneven terrain was a bit challenging for our 60 selves (and me with a bum knee), I’d stay here again. The hot tub and an unexpected snow added to our delight (Floridians here). There was a bit of an incline to the driveway and we needed to make a number of three point turns to avoid backing out, but our extended cab Ford F150 managed it just fine. I loved that we were out in the country but within a 25 minute drive to Publix. The flowing waters of a nearby stream added to the ambiance.
