We had an amazing time at Fishing Bear cabin. Me, my husband, two older teens an my dog were so comfortable here. It really did seem like a second home! The cabin has all of the essentials and more! They even provided K-cups for the Keurig machine. It was decorated for Christmas and was very clean. We enjoyed all the cabin had to offer, hot tub, pingpong and board games! Oh and don't forget the gas fireplace that starts up at the touch of a button. We would love to come back soon!

Thank you for taking your time to review and glad you enjoyed your time at our cabin. Sorry you found issues with the cleaning but unfortunately you didn’t note what was wrong. Our check in paperwork asks for tenants to let us know if anything is amiss so we can make it right. We hope to make all our guests happy with their experience and are sincerely sorry if you found your stay less than. We’ve contacted the cleaning company immediately and requested an inspection and for any problems be corrected. Thank you for bringing the issue to our attention and for choosing our cabin for your mountain trip.

Super spacious and inviting cabin - so quiet and peaceful and beautifully, warmly decorated for Christmas! Great useable and thoughtfully appointed outdoor space (plenty of comfortable seating on both levels for both relaxing and eating, wonderful hot tub and grill). The kitchen was well equipped and the rooms very comfortable. We were just two, but would be ideal for families as there is plenty of living space on both levels. Also had no trouble with the road up the mountain or the driveway (I have a rear-wheel drive coupe), though there was no ice or snow to contend with. A perfect respite from “the norm” - many thanks to Doug and Jeanne!

The cabin was well appointed with everything you could possibly need and more. It was so cozy and relaxing and I enjoyed all the decor. The hosts were a call away for anything we needed promptly. We saw about 15 deer on and around the property as we took our pup on daily walks. It was a beautiful area and I hope everyone considers staying at Fishing Bear cabin. Thank you for such a relaxing, carefree vacation experience. I would definitely stay again!!

About the host

Hosted by Doug & Jeanne Lindberg

Host profile image

We have loved the mountains and decided to buy in the Blue Ridge area because of all it has to offer - easy access, shops, hiking, tubing, rafting, antiquing, vineyards and wine tastings, festivals and so much more.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with the cozy, comfort of this cabin. It is very easy to get to with a four lane highway right up to the turn to go up the mountain. Once you leave the highway it is like being in another world - quiet, peaceful.
We have tried to make our cabin a home away from home and provide all the comforts of home.

What makes this property unique

Easy access to the cabin as well as down the driveway to park. Quiet and serene yet close to many activities, shops, local events, etc.
