Barnardsville Cabin | Bears Den: Private, Comfortable, Well Kept Cottage w Hot Tub overlooking River.

2 Bedroom Cabin in Barnardsville

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.

Summary: If you're seeking a tranquil escape in the woods, this is the place to unwind. We had an incredible time here for our anniversary trip, and it was everything we hoped for and more. The cabin offers all the amenities we needed for a cozy and comfortable stay, and the hot tub, tucked away in its own private spot, made it even more special.One of the highlights of this cabin is the porch—perfect for enjoying your morning cup of coffee while listening to the soothing sounds of a babbling creek below and taking in the mountain views. For those looking to balance relaxation with adventure, Pisgah National Forest is nearby, offering a variety of outdoor activities. And if you’re craving a taste of small-town charm, Weaverville’s quaint downtown is just a short drive away, with a few great restaurants that give you a warm, welcoming vibe.Although Douglass Falls Hiking area is still closed, we discovered the Straight Creek trail nearby, which was an easy-to-moderate in-and-out route that featured its own little waterfall.The area still has some lovely signs of Helene's presence. We appreciated how much this retreat offered a balance between seclusion and proximity to both nature and nearby town life. Would definitely recommend it for anyone looking to escape the hustle and bustle and recharge in a peaceful woodland.
