"Our family had the most incredible experience at Bearwallow Mountain for my daughter's wedding. The breathtaking scenery provided the perfect backdrop for her special day, with the mountainside offering an unforgettable setting for our intimate gathering.

From peaceful moments soaking in the mountain views to exploring everything Bearwallow had to offer, it was truly a magical experience.

Both houses were perfect—spacious, beautifully maintained, and stocked with everything we needed. The hosts went above and beyond to accommodate our special requests for the small wedding we celebrated on-site, helping make the day truly unforgettable.

Perfect Weekend in a Beautiful Location

Vacation Date: July 20, 2023

"Everything about the weekend was perfect. The location is beautiful and well kept. There is plenty of room for large gathrings with areas for privacy. We had a few questions during our stay and we received prompt answers when we reached out. There were a few minor mishaps during our stay (ie no WiFi and a breaker blew) but nothing we would ever complain about. You can't go wrong with this rental. Just an FYI for future renters, It is a approximately 25 minutes to Asheville and we had difficulty getting an UBER or Lyft to bring us to town. However, this was just a minor inconvenience and is not a reflection of this property.

Wonderful week!

Vacation Date: November 15, 2022

"Both houses are incredibly well laid out and maintained...and all beds very comfortable! To say the views were stunning would be an understatement. Property is close to Trombatore hiking trail. There is a very nice private trail directly from the houses to the public hiking trail. Our families enjoyed walking part of Trombatore Trail. We saw deer late one night in the yard. We rented the houses for our families to stay together before and after our daughter's wedding. To get to the houses you have to drive over a very windy road with lots of switchbacks and a portion that is gravel...but so worth it. The drive was no problem for our vehicles; however, be aware the roads will not accommodate a large limo or party bus. Highly recommend the property and hope to be able to come back again!

What a great property!

Vacation Date: July 9, 2022

"Our family group of 23, ages 8 months to 84 years had a wonderful time exploring Asheville and Lake Lure from this beautiful property. The deck on the retreat house was perfect for toddlers and kids to be safe and adults to enjoy their coffee outdoors. The bigger kids, ages 3-12, loved the pickle ball court and hiking the trails adjacent to the property. The kitchens were well outfitted to accommodate a large crowd. The homes were comfortable and quiet.

"We had an awesome weekend with family and friends celebrating our daughter turning 30! Spent a lot of time on the covered deck playing bags (supplied by property) chatting and using the hot tub. Hikes right off the property. There is so much to do right on the property, but also took a scenic drive through Chimney Rock and spent the day at Lake Lure. Both homes are well stocked and conveniently labeled which was appreciated by all!

Family Reunion / Vacay

Vacation Date: July 11, 2021

"We have a large family and wanted to spend vacation in the mountains since we have traditionally done the beach each year. These two large beautiful homes with incredible views and so close together gave us that opportunity. The pavilion was a great place for pickle ball tournaments and general running around by the kids. The expansive decks on both properties afforded ample gathering space for our large crew. The huge lawn on the hill gave kids plenty of space to run, roll, and slip-and-slide. We hiked some great trails right off of the property as well as those nearby. Everyone in our group fell in love with these homes and Bearwallow Mountain. Property management was easy to work with and the owners live just down the mountain. They were quick to respond to little requests, like a lighter to get the fire pit going. There is absolutely no need to leave the property, but we did make a trip into Asheville for a brewery tour and also to Lake Lure for some pontoon rentals. We all came home with buckets full of memories of a fabulous family reunion vacation.

Wonderful Weekend Trip

Vacation Date: July 2, 2020

"We and 3 other families (8 kids ages 4-9) stayed at the two cabins for a long weekend and had a wonderful trip. Check-in was easy, the cabins were very clean with great amenities, and the location on the top of a ridge with amazing views of the valleys below was incredible. The cabins are very kid friendly. We needed someone to look at one of the refrigerators (turned out it was fine) at 6:30 the first night and someone arrived a little after 7:00 a incredible service! We would definitely stay again.

"The property was amazing. The cabins were up to date and extremely well equipped. We loved the pickle ball court, and the easy access to the hiking trails. The fire pits were grey and stocked with the woods, the hot tubs were great and the views spectacular. We couldn’t have had a better place for our large family gathering.
