Why Bill Setzer chose Screamer Mountain
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 Cabin 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

Notes
- If you like to trout fish ask owner.Will send you to the right place depending on the time of year.Please no 4 wheelers or motorcycles .Will not be responsible for any accidents on premises.Also we have gone back to review booking vs on-line booking and will contact you to make sure our cabin is for you.The mountains are beautiful and there are lots of things to do.But frankly some people should go to the beach.The roads are windy and our drive is steep but short and all "rolled concrete" with very good grip.So if you are unsure of the mountain driving this place is probably not for you.Thanks

Williebear Cabin
Williebear is a welcoming cabin with a beautiful view. It has everything you need! Bill does a wonderful job with his communication on the rental.
We knew the driveway was going to be a little intense but we had no problems with it. The parking at the midway point worked out very well for us. I would recommend this cabin and will return. Thank you very much Bill!
Thanks so much for coming up and thank you for your nice review.We do get a little press on the drive but it is mostly overrated since we are in the mountains.Sorry you couldn't stay the extra day maybe we can get that done next time.Thanks again Bill S
Comfortable, well stocked kitchen, great view
The driveway was intimidating at first, but we learned to navigate it. Gave us a good excuse to relax on the deck!
Jean thanks for coming. For those not used to driving in the mountains as much as the "flatlands"{from Tampa myself} it can be a little intimidating at first but usually like you it gets easier after a couple of trips up and down.Thanks for coming and hope you had a great time.Thanks Bill S
An Awesome Mountain Experience
We had a fantastic stay at Willy Bear Cabin. First of all the roads were really curvy and the driveway steep but after one or two times down the road to the city all was fine. Just had to get accustomed to the roads. We are from Florida and everything is flat. Next, we loved the rustic decor of the cabin. Living in Florida everything is beaches and it was a breath of fresh air to be in the mountains in this fabulous cabin. Then there is the view. Awesome!!! You could look across the mountain range every five minutes and the view would be different every time. Between watching the sunset and the smoke coming and going across the range the view was breathtaking and in the evening you could see a cross on the mountain that was lit each evening. Although we didn’t get to actually go see fireworks we did sit on the deck and watch as others across the mountains set off their own fireworks. As far as the cabin being equipped with dishes, pots and pans, toiletries, coffee pot, blenders, etc. there was plenty. Of all the cabins we have ever rented this cabin was the best equipped. We travelled to Helen and Dillard, Ga and also to Franklin, NC. All were short and beautiful scenic drives. And best of all, Mr. Bill was very accommodating. Any questions we had he was so eager to help us and was very pleasant to speak with. We appreciate Bill and Karen willing to open their home and share with others an experience we don’t get to have here in Florida. Thank you and we look forward to renting your cabin again.
Thank you for the very nice review.Being from Fla. myself {Tampa} the mountain roads and our drive can be a little intimidationg at first.But just like you did up and down a few times it just isn't a big deal.Thank you for the comments on how well stocked we keep it.Most of us don't get that many vacations and the last thing you need to do is try to find a tooth brush when needed.Being from the beach myself the mountains are a magical place.Thanks for coming and I am very happy you had a good time.Come back and thanks,Bill S
Loved the cabin the view was amazing!!!
Loved everything about the accommodations
Thanks for coming and hope you had a great time.Bill S
love it
We loved our stay at the cabin! Everything was perfect. Only thing we had a problem was the drive way since we do have a big and kind wide truck we drive, but other than that everything was good with us! the view was beautiful, hiking trails were pretty closed as well as the grocery store if we needed it! thank you, we plan on coming back as soon we can!!
Marlene thanks for coming to our cabin and glad you enjoyed yourself Thanks again.Bill S
Very nice cabin way up in the mountains
The owners are super nice and full of southern charm. A lot of detail is given to each guest including a welcome kit we received in the mail. Despite the curvy and steep roads, the cabin is easy to get to and close to lots of the outdoor activities offered in this area. The cabin was very clean and loaded with everything you could need or things you forgot. Beds were comfortable, ice maker worked well, and the views (day and night) were great. We have zero complaints about our stay.
Hey thanks for coming and we hope you come back again.Yes our roads are step and the drive is a little intimidating the first time up or so but usually most people get used to it.Thanks for coming and glad you had a good time.I know you were coming for a wedding but I hope you got a chance to get out and see our area some and how beautiful that part of the country is.Thanks again Bill Setzer
Map
Note we send a book-magazine called the Wayward Traveler that has many things to do in the area ,with directions {gps will not get you there} and contact numbers to each guest prior to their arrival.We are in the mountains and the roads are steep and our drive is steep but short and all concrete
Rates & Availability
Additional information about rental rates
Please make sure to check our calender before trying to book.We get many requests for time already booked.Thank You.Note this cabin is very self-contained with almost everything you need except perishable food.ALSO it is a mountain driveway but is short and all concrete and very stable. Unfortunately we have had to add a damage deposit to our billing. While most of our guests are great we have had a few that have "trashed the place".Please note we don't expect you to clean up since you pay for cleaning.But if it is badly taken care of your deposit will not be returned and I will send pictures and explanation as to why.We try very hard to make this place nice and supply a lot of things the others don't so pelase keep that in mind. Thanks Bill Setzer
