A Good Choice

Vacation Date: July 17, 2026

"As soon as you walk in the door you know the choice to rent this cabin was a good one. The cleanliness was what I always want and it was excellently cleaned. The kitchen was well maintained and stocked with everything a chef could desire to prepare meals.

Peaceful Getaway

Vacation Date: June 25, 2026

"We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this beautiful Lake Lure property! Bear Ridge BaseCamp at Buffalo Creek! I took my 11 year-old son and two of his friends of the same age and from the moment we arrived we felt right at home. The house was spotless, beautifully maintained and nestled in a peaceful wooded setting that made it the perfect place to relax and unwind. The game room downstairs was a HUGE hit with the boys. One of the things we loved most was the location. It offered the best of both worlds—peacefully tucked away in nature so you could truly disconnect, yet conveniently located close to everything we wanted to do. Most attractions, restaurants and stores were only about a 20-minute drive away making it easy to explore the area while still enjoying the quiet serenity of the property. I was also incredibly impressed by how thoughtfully the home was stocked. It had absolutely everything you could possibly need during your stay—and even those little things you don’t think to pack but end up needing were already there. The attention to detail was truly exceptional. If you like coffee you will LOVE their set up. We also loved the outdoor space. Having firewood already stacked and ready for the fire pit made for such a cozy evening under the stars, smores and created memories I am confident all the boys will remember. It’s those thoughtful touches that really set this place apart. The boys loved the small slope that was in the front yard and one of the first things they did when we arrived was get out of the vehicle, lay down and roll down the hill and I had flashbacks of when I was a child and did the same thing. If you’re looking for a peaceful getaway with beautiful surroundings, exceptional accommodations, and hosts who have truly thought of everything I cannot recommend this place highly enough. We made wonderful memories here and would absolutely stay again. Five stars all the way!

Peace, Privacy & The Sound of Nature

Vacation Date: June 14, 2026

"My husband and I enjoyed a wonderful weekend away at Bear Ridge Basecamp at Buffalo Creek!! Directions from the host were spot on and the place was easy to find. Upon our arrival, we found the cabin to be super clean and fully stocked with all the amenities we could possibly need. We thought the upstairs king bed was super comfy, and the coffee bar made us feel like we had arrived in our own private coffeehouse. We also liked how each bedroom and the playroom had hand-painted murals of things in and around Lake Lure…great personal touch. We spent afternoons relaxing on the huge covered porch, it felt like we were staying in a treehouse with all the birds chirping around us. We left there feeling so peaceful and rejuvenated, and we cannot wait to come back again in the fall to see all the leaves change colors. We took a short drive to see Lake Lure and visit some shops in town. While there, we enjoyed lunch at “The 828” cafe and dinner another night at “Lured Market & Grill”… both places had great food and we also highly recommend. If you’re looking for peace, privacy, and the sound of nature, you won’t be disappointed at Bear Ridge Basecamp at Buffalo Creek!!

Truly Our “BaseCamp”

Vacation Date: June 6, 2026

"Bear Ridge BaseCamp has been our favorite stay in Lake Lure! You can feel completely secluded in the woods when you want, but still only a few minutes from great dining options, and recreational activities. We enjoyed the Weed Patch trails only 1.5 miles away for trail running and mountain biking. We also found the nearby SUP rentals to be a fun day on the water. Bear Ridge was truly our “BaseCamp” that we enjoyed returning to for complete relaxation and peace after our adventurous days.
