About this property

RUSTLING WATERS await at Bear Creek Cabin off Parkway or I-77 near Fancy Gap

Come experience serenity --> Owner welcomes you to Bear Creek Cabin and invites you to relax and connect with nature! "The Bear" is nestled on a wooded hillside in the Blue Ridge Mountains region overlooking the beautiful rushing waters of Little Reed Island Creek, near Fancy Gap, VA. Quaint and cozy, this 1 bedroom / 1 bath full log cabin is perfect for that romantic weekend getaway, or a week of fun-filled outdoor activities. The "Bear" accommodates up to 4 guests and features a bedroom w/ queen size log bed, and a sleeper sofa in the vaulted main room. The 2 person indoor Jacuzzi spa/tub with gas fireplace view is perfect for that intimate, relaxing bath experience - a 'Beary' nice way for a 'couple a cubs' to spend the evening, or for a lady to decompress. The separate bath boasts a full oversized shower with seat. A fully appointed kitchen and breakfast nook serves all your meal preparation and dining needs.
Outside, the full length covered porch seating area provides amazing views of the creek, complimented by the soothing sounds of nature and rapids below. There's a bistro table set for enjoying that perfect cup of morning Joe or romantic dinner. Or enjoy your private wooded lower deck perched nearer the creek's edge.
The lower level private game room is furnished with a pool/ping pong table, darts, card table, board games, and additional sofa bed seating for loads of fun. A full washer and dryer also complete the space. A charcoal style BBQ grill enhances the outdoor fun on the upper level (located in front of the cabin - charcoal by Renter).
The shared outdoor fire ring is the ideal spot for enjoying those evenings filled with toasting S'mores or glasses of wine together. Our creek side gazebo with swing, and private wooden deck sitting area, afford peaceful rest or reading pleasure while fully immersed in natural woods.
There is plenty to see, do and explore in the region. Hiking in nearby Devils Den, Pilot Mountain or any of a number of state parks close by. Fishing on the New River. Visit the real "Mayberry", Mount Airy, NC for shopping, restaurants and antiques. Or take in the music at nearby Floyd, VA or Galax, VA's (Old Fiddler's convention). Many festivals year round in the area, as well as the Hillsville Annual Flea Market!
The fun starts in the woods, where technology and stress end - take refuge and soak in serenity for your mind, soul and body rejuvenation.
We hope to see you soon!

Peaceful weekend

This was our second time to this place. We picked it again because it was exactly what we wanted. Away from all things busy. Rick is a great host. We didn't have any needs but he was attentive to things as we came in and left. This is a great place to get away and just have a peaceful relaxing weekend. It is a quiet cabin in the woods above a stream, the stream gives a great background sound of peace for sure. The time away from all distractions is the bonus. We will be back.

Perfect small place

Beautiful cabin overlooking a good flowing mountain stream. I took a video of the stream and it's sound and play it at work sometimes to relax. I would definitely recommend this as a good get-away.

A Little Piece of Heaven

Rick, Thank you for sharing your wonderful cabin with us. The stay was very peaceful and relaxing. We took advantage of the wood stove and the jacuzzi-and made smores around the fire pit. The cabin was very well stocked with all the conveniences of home. We would recommend your cabin to everyone and would love to return.

So relaxing and peaceful

This cabin was a fabulous retreat! We had everything we needed for relaxation and much needed quiet time. The bed was super comfy and sitting on the porch with morning coffee while listening to the creek below could not have been more peaceful. The jacuzzi/spa tub was a special treat. We enjoyed visiting Mabry Mill as well as the "off the beaten path" drive to get there. Walking along the creek was an amazing bonus.

Perfect

This was such a beautiful place. It was perfect for our disconnecting from the world weekend. It did rain quite a bit but that made it even more relaxing. We sat on the front porch and read books listening to the rain and rushing creek. We loved sitting on the swing above the creek too. The place was cozy and comfortable. Perfect for a couple. There were also guest in the other cabin. But we didn't even hear them drive up. So it was totally like we were the only ones there. We will be back.
