Spend Christmas in the Mountains!! - Cozy Cottage at Bear Lake
Year Purchased: 2006
Why the Owner Chose Cashiers
Our family has always been drawn to the pristine beauty of the Smokey Mountains. When we visited Bear Lake, the property was merely a vision but we saw ourselves here making lasting memories. We were attracted to all the ammenties, there is something for everyone from hiking, fishing, boating, the pool and golf to relaxing on our back porch by the fire listening to the creek. It has far surpassed all of our expectations, and we travel to Bear Lake as often as we can.
The Unique Benefits at this House
Our cottage is on Boulder Creek Lane, a quiet street nestled on the side of the mountain. The cottage backs up to a beautiful mountain creek, and we have built in a path that leads to the creek and a BRAND NEW fire circle. There is plenty of room in our backyard for kids to play, and the back porch with stacked stone fireplace is the greatest escape for the adults. We keep our home stocked with all the comforts of home, including: games, movies, fishing poles, kitchen condiments and snacks, IPOD, etc. At the top of our street is a hiking trail with some of the best views on the property.
The Greeter's Cottage is home to your connection to the outside world while you are here. Stop by to use the business center or pick up a few items you forgot (toothbrushes, snacks, etc.).
Grab your fishing pole, and come fish in the stocked ponds. Or, pack a picnic and enjoy the massive stone fireplace and outdoor pavilion!
Hike this trail to see some of the most spectacular views on the property!
A short 10 minute drive from our cottage, the Lake Club is home to the fitness center, pool and boats.
Bear Creek Park is a great picnic spots. Winding trails along the creek, offer folks a great place to enjoy the outdoors. Bear Creek Park also has several tree houses for kids to play in.
Get your sticks and enjoy some of the most breathtaking views offered by any golf course in the Smokies
Grab a kayak or pontoon boat, and pull into this cove where a short hiking trail leads you to the top of this gorgeous waterfall!
