Ole Bear Cabin

This is a wonderful place to stay. It was quiet, clean and the extra touches meant so much, especially after driving all day.

Awesome!

Loved the cabin. Perfect getaway spot. Me and my wife came to the area to go whitewater rafting on the Ocoee, and enjoyed being able to relax and take in the scenery for the rest of the long weekend after our whitewater trip. Cabin felt like home. We will be looking at booking it again in the future.

Cabin weekend retreat

This cabin and property were so lovely and well-appointed for a comfortable and relaxing long weekend in the woods. It was so cozy and enjoyable spending time by the fire pit, and on the big, beautiful back porch where the sound of the creek could be heard while working on my laptop or sipping coffee in the mornings and evenings. It was a wonderful experience all around.

"Ole Black Bear" cabin

What a cozy and nicely decorated cabin! We enjoyed the extra touches she provided, such as a cheese ball and wine. We loved the large deck for having coffee and reading. Our son enjoyed our cornhole competitions with the provided boards. We would definitely stay there again

Fantastic Getaway

The Ole Bear cabin was exactly the destination we had been hoping for. The well thought out cabin with all the little extras made for such an enjoyable stay. We took a trip on the train in Blue Ridge and hiked near by waterfall trails. Coming back to the cabin to make s’mores by the fire pit or sit on the deck rockers after grilling out always promised a memorable day. We definitely hope to return with family or friends next time we return to the area.

This place is amazing!

I booked this cabin as a place for my girlfriend and I to get away and forget the stress back home. We came from Louisville KY and this is my third time in the area, her first. We were floored with the amount of preparation put forth for our comfort, and the accommodations upon arrival! So cozy and beautiful, we were able to relax to the highest caliber, and slept better than we have in months! Highly recommend a stay here, because we for sure will be back!

Little Piece of Heaven

This is our second time staying at the Ole’ Bear and it did not disappoint. Our family loves this little place, and the area surrounding it. Rosemary has been super accommodating for us, and we appreciate it so very much. The cabin has anything you could need and more. We do hope to come back again next year; Tennesee has our heart! Thank you again.

Land Purchase Closing

Hosts were responsive on late arrival needs, and replied quickly to inquiry. We arrived very late (~0230am) am after a late flight to find the cabin very welcoming and comfortable. We enjoyed the setting and the homey feel. Cabin was convenient to our retirement land, and not too far out of town. I hope the dates for our next visit are open, because we'll likely be repeat guests.

Nice cabin hidden away

The cabin had the essentials. Good size kitchen and comfy areas to sit and relax inside and outside. Nice deck space for warmer months. I would call this remote but it depends on where you plan to sight see or just chill out. Short road to cabin had a little loose gravely spots but if you just get going on the paved area it was no problem. We are not used to mountain roads so it would be easy for most. Owner came by to check on us he was very friendly. This was our first time in this area, there were several water falls around and the Cherohala skyway was a short dive away. We brought food in but stores and restaurants are not super close but 20 to 40 minutes puts you at Tellico or McCaysville . I guess that's close considering being so secluded.

Run Amok Ranch work trip

Our weeklong stay over Thanksgiving was to work on my retirement place near Tellico Plains. Cabin was comfortable after our beeline drive from Houston. Found everything as expected from our first stay in August. Will be checking availability for next trip.

Used this property as base for exploring southeast TN. Many waterfalls in the area to see. Ole Bear cabin was great for resting between forays into the wilderness.
