Perfect location and amazing communication

My husband and I had a terrific stay at the cabin, which is in the most ideal location to town. It is secluded to give you the “getaway” feel while being 5 minutes away from town for anything we needed. The property manager sent us the most helpful details to easily find the cabin, was always accessible to contact if we needed anything, and provided a bunch of pamphlets to find fun places to eat and visit. Would 100% stay again. Thank you!

Lovely home a short drive up the Mountain

This charming cabin home was thoughtfully stocked with so many conveniences, from toiletries to hot cocoa pods for the Keurig. We were there Thanksgiving week and appreciated that the place was decorated for Christmas. It was an easy, short drive down the mountain to get to a Walmart for our groceries and the town of Clayton for shopping and restaurants. Bill was easy to reach via message and always responded promptly. We also appreciated that the check/out instructions were so easy-we basically just had to pack and walk out the door. I would highly recommend Willie Bear Cabin to anyone wanting a spacious home-base for everything the area has to offer.

Very comfortable and gorgeous view!

The cabin was great- had everything you could need and very comfy. Close to a lot of attractions. The driveway is a little tricky but the gorgeous view is worth it. My only issue was that there was confusion about getting into the cabin and I tried calling the owner several times but got no response. He apologized but that was very frustrating.

Cozy and inviting.. home away from home.

The cabin is cozy and inviting. The mountain views are magnificent . Close to town, whitewater rafting and Tallulah Falls. We had a wonderful time. We can’t wait for our next trip back. The kids loved the views and catching fireflies. Wonderful Memories made. Thank you Bill and Karen for opening your cabin “Willie Bear” for others to share. As we ride home the kids are still talking about all the bears, views and walking around adventuring. They give you all thumbs up.

Why they chose this property

This property has it all. It is comfortable and cozy with a beautiful view.Large enough for a family with plenty of activities in the area or just sitting on the porch isn't bad.Firewood is always down below the porch for you to use.PLEASE NO MOTORCYCLES OR 4 WHEELERS.

What makes this property unique

We purchased Williebear Cabin July 2008.It was built in 1999 but never used.We looked at many properties in the area and many had a 'winter view'.Not this one.The view is panoramic and the highlights are Black Rock Mountain,Pinnacle and Saddle Gap North Carolina.This home has the cozy appeal but also has plenty of room for 8-10 people.It is on 2 1/2 levels and is mainly wood floors and walls.The fireplace is stone and puts out a lot of heat.It is updated often and well maintained.All systems are checked regularly for best performance
