About this property
Bears Den: Private, Comfortable, Well Kept Cottage w Hot Tub overlooking River.
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.

We absolutely loved our stay here! There was more than enough provided for us to have a comfortable easy stay. The hot tub was perfect and the stars at night were stunning! We would love to stay again.
This property was so cute, it was perfect for me ane my girlfriend to relax and connect. We loved our mornings sitting on the front porch drinking coffee and listening to the creek below. The cabin was very clean and everything we needed was available. Would stay again.
Very friendly and fast responding hosts. Has everything you needed for a wonderful country vacation. Enjoyed the camp fire pit 2 of the nights, saw snow for the first time ever, walked the creek and just enjoyed all the outdoor scenery this cozy place offers. I definitely recommend this cute place for anyone's stay.
Bear's Den is a private oasis in the mountains. Enjoy nature and the sound of Big Ivey River while sitting on the front porch. Wonderful, relaxing place to stay.
Quaint, quiet, and comfortable. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, even though the stairs and uneven terrain was a bit challenging for our 60 selves (and me with a bum knee), I’d stay here again. The hot tub and an unexpected snow added to our delight (Floridians here). There was a bit of an incline to the driveway and we needed to make a number of three point turns to avoid backing out, but our extended cab Ford F150 managed it just fine. I loved that we were out in the country but within a 25 minute drive to Publix. The flowing waters of a nearby stream added to the ambiance.
Visiting family in Weaverville we loved the cabin the hot tub at night was the perfect end to busy days. Just minutes from Asheville and many activities.
Definitely recommend an SUV to get up that driveway, but it is so worth it especially if you’re looking for privacy. super comfortable beds, charming scenery and just so easy to recharge yourself and relax. Host was fast and polite in answering all my questions. Would definitely stay here again
The history of the home was very interesting! Hot tub hit the spot and the weather was perfect being it was 20 degrees cooler than home. Very quiet surroundings and beautiful! Thanks for having us!
I enjoyed the cabin and location. Happy that my doodle dog was allowed to come as well. The driveway was a bit of a challenge, however. We took our own bedding and towels, so we wouldn’t have to wait for washing machine.
My husband and I spent the weekend celebrating our anniversary and his birthday at this lovely cabin. We found it very clean with everything we needed for a lovely stay. The owners were very easy to reach by text and extremely nice. There is a lovely gas fireplace which we really enjoyed. Sit on the porch, or walk up a stairway to the good sized hot tub with a view of the creek down the hill and surrounded by nature. We hope to stay again!
The cabin is great though it doesn’t look exactly like on pictures. The hot tub is clean and functional. You need a four-wheel-drive SUV to get to the property.
This home is just amazing. Ive been staying here as a respite from the woes of the world for many years now. Private, serene and comfortable with an amazing hot tub to end the day. It is convenient to Weaverville or Mars Hill to get out and about. Big Ivy hiking areas are closed due to storm damage as Barnardsville was hit pretty hard by Helene so was relieved this cabin treasure was intact. I would recommend this lovely gem for your getaway any day of the week
