About this house rental
Experience the best of both worlds at FaBear’s Den, a luxurious retreat that feels like both a mountain lodge and a serene lake house. Perched above the shores of private Lake Cardinal, this beautifully appointed home offers rustic elegance, five-star comfort, and unforgettable views.
The main level features reclaimed barn beams, a stunning primary suite with a spa-like bath and Juliet porch, and a spacious lakeside porch perfect for grilling and dining outdoors. A second porch overlooks the Toxaway River, offering the perfect soundtrack for an afternoon nap.
Downstairs, two inviting bedrooms join a cozy reading room with a hidden queen murphy bed, plus a large game room with a cloud-soft sectional, big-screen TV, and ping-pong table. Upstairs, “The Treehouse” suite wows with lake views, a private porch and hammock, and an oversized spa bathroom. Another charming bedroom, “The Farm,” includes its own bath, sunny deck, and whimsical hidden details.
A short forest trail leads to the lakefront, where a stone patio, fire pit, private dock, and kayak launch await. Enjoy two kayaks, two paddleboards, a canoe, and a lily pad for endless lake fun—or unwind in Adirondack chairs as the sun sets over Lake Cardinal.
Dogs are welcome with prior authorization and fee. Optional access to Lake Toxaway Country Club is available April through November, subject to application and usage fees.
FaBear’s Den is a one-of-a-kind escape where relaxation, adventure, and mountain-lake beauty come together effortlessly.

Reviewer Comments:
A very private home area of the lake cove was enjoyed by all our family members, including plenty of space for all activities. A large screened-in back deck with comfortable seating was perfect for morning coffee and relaxing. The home layout gave each party plenty of privacy yet provided many places for all to be together around the home. We enjoyed the food and many activities in the area. We hope to return and enjoy this home and area again.
