About this house rental
Welcome to Blissful Bear Mountain Retreat, a rustic mountain getaway in the amenity-rich Connestee Falls community! From the moment you open the front door, you'll be welcomed by the home's cozy mountain character, with wood and stone accents, comfortable leather chairs, and a friendly bear waiting to greet you in the foyer. Don't forget to snap a picture with the bear for a fun vacation selfie!
The main level of the home features a spacious living area and large kitchen and dining area, providing plenty of room for your group to gather. The well-equipped kitchen is complete with a gas range, gas grill, wine chiller, and plenty of pots and pans for preparing meals during your stay. For your morning coffee, guests can choose between a Keurig or traditional drip coffee maker—just be sure to bring your favorite coffee!
The primary bedroom is located on the main level and features a King-sized bed, TV, and private access to the large deck through a sliding glass door. The ensuite bathroom features a custom tile shower. Rustic, log cabin-inspired décor throughout the bedroom creates a cozy mountain retreat.
Upstairs, the loft provides additional sleeping space with a futon and is a great spot for guests who want a little extra room to spread out. The lower level offers even more space to relax and entertain with a game room and den area complete with a wet bar, card table, and mini fridge. Two additional bedrooms and a full bathroom are also located on the lower level, with linens provided for your stay.
The lower-level den opens directly onto the patio and private courtyard area. Relax in the patio furniture, soak up some sunshine, or simply enjoy the peaceful mountain surroundings. With comfortable gathering spaces throughout the home, there are plenty of places for everyone to unwind after a day of exploring.
Connestee Falls is a private, amenity-rich community with plenty to see and do! Guests can enjoy hiking trails, several lakes with dedicated swimming areas and playgrounds, golf, tennis, pickleball, and the community pool. Whether you're looking for an active mountain adventure or a quiet place to relax, there's something for everyone to enjoy right within the community.
Blissful Bear Mountain Retreat is conveniently located less than 20 minutes from Downtown Brevard, with easy access to the restaurants, shops, and local attractions of the area. When you're ready to venture beyond Connestee Falls, you'll find countless opportunities for hiking, waterfalls, biking, and exploring in the surrounding mountains.

We spent 2 weeks at Blissful Bear in Connestee Falls and had a wonderful time exploring Connestee and the Brevard area. The home had everything we needed for a fun and cozy vacation including a fireplace! Would definitely recommend for a vacation to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life!

Beautiful home! We’ve been booking our vacation rentals with White Squirrel Realty for many years. Excellent local company to deal with in every way, great knowledgeable & accommodating staff.
8 / 10Excellent·Jul 2025
White Squirrel Realty said this is a lovely home and it was ! Clean , very well supplied kitchen, nice layout with rooms up and down, lovely screened porch in the treetops. The owners paid attention to detail with the decor...very beary/mountainy ! Beds were comfy with plenty of comforters/throws/pillows available, if needed. Nice coffee bar. Weber grill under partial cover. All in all, a wonderful place and a nice stay. White Squirrel Realty was prompt in answering our questions/concerns.
Now for the concerns...SAFETY ! No where in the listing does it mention the multiple steps down from the drive to the front entry. Or the wide stone steps from the entry to the main floor. The outside steps were painted with some type of anti-slip paint but was very hard to see the edges in bright sunlight. NO HANDRAIL ! This presents a safety issue for anyone of senior age with balance, hip or knee issues. A fall in the making ! Obviously this is not an issue for younger folks, but the owners need to make safety changes or at least be transparent in the listing. Lawsuits are not fun.
Also the toilet downstairs and in the halfbath upstairs are SO low that a person with knee/hip issues would struggle to get up.
I don't mean to be picky, but these are safety issues that should be addressed to protect the renter and especially the owner/rental agency from possible" fall with injury" lawsuits.
A small issue...the wine cooler was making a terrible noise off and on and not cooling , so we did unplug it.
Having said all this, we did manage to have a lovely stay, but due to safety concerns, sadly, we would not rent this home again.

It was good! The kitchen and downstairs could have been a little more tidy but overall good experience.
