Indulge in a quiet, rustic escape to towering trees and fresh air here at Bear Print Mountain Lodge and bring the whole family along to make lasting memories in no time. This retreat feels perfectly secluded, yet you won't have to venture far with downtown Waynesville close by, offering shopping, dining, and attractions you definitely don't want to miss. Plus, year-round fun is just waiting to be had with Lake Junaluska, Asheville, Biltmore Estate, and the Smoky Mountains all a scenic drive away! Waynesville Parks & Recreation is five miles from the home, and guests will love spending an afternoon at The Rose Walk, just eight miles away.

When everyone has had their fill of adventure, gather back at home base each evening and enjoy a cocktail on the screened porch overlooking the extensive woods. The balcony boasts a wonderful mountain view, perfect for catching up with old friends over a glass of evening wine. Summer cookouts will be a no-brainer with the gas grill on the deck, and everyone will have a blast gathering beside the firepit as the stars come out. For a bit of fun inside, prepare a favorite recipe in the full kitchen, or head downstairs and host an air hockey tournament!

With so much fun to be had, a visit to Bear Print Mountain Lodge may just become a family tradition!

The cabin beautiful and just as advertised. Very comfortable with everything you need. The road to get to the cabin is a little scary, especially at night. Although not in the listing of amenities, the cabin does have a hot tub. My family had a wonderful stay!

Once we got there and opened the door we were greeted with an awful odor that lasted our whole trip and it was only upstairs , i did buy air fresheners to try and help but it didn’t cut it. And unfortunately we couldn’t stay downstairs because the heat was not working and the fireplace wouldn’t turn on. Many of the outside lights are out or very dim so you can’t see well when it’s dark. Also the tub in the master faucet only had a trickle of water coming out so we couldn’t use that. On our last night the heat upstairs was barely working. I do believe it frozen which obviously is no one’s fault , just very inconvenient when it was 19 degrees outside. It would also been nice to know that the road up is not meant for a big truck (like a dually). I will say we will did still enjoy our time. The views were great. And it was a great town.

We appreciate your feedback on your recent stay. We are very sorry for the unpleasant smell and the heat not working during your stay. Please know that we have addressed the smell. While the heating is working, the fireplaces have been turned off. We have reviewed and replaced the bulbs for the outside lighting and installed a new faucet on the master tub to allow better water flow. We regret to hear you had problems with your truck up the road. This is a mountain road, but we have not had or heard of any other issues with larger vehicles before. We appreciate your comments, and we are glad you enjoyed the great views and town. We hope to have the opportunity to host you again.

Relaxing getaway

We enjoyed a quiet getaway at Bear Print Mountain Lodge with our toddler. The neighborhood was peaceful and secluded while still being a quick drive from town. We really appreciated having open and covered outdoor space to get out of the quick rain showers that happen this time of year. The view was nice and would be even more spectacular as the leaves fall. The gate for the stairs was also much appreciated so we had peace of mind for our toddler’s safety on the main floor. The kitchen could use a review to ensure it’s fully stocked - some key items were missing or low (ex: cutting board, containers with lids, enough eating utensils for the number of guests the house will sleep). All in all it was a great spot that is well maintained and we would enjoy visiting again.

Thanksgiving Get Away 2023

We rented this property for a long Thanksgiving weekend with our daughter and family and couldn’t have been happier with the home. It was very clean, had a beautiful view and the grandsons loved having the downstairs for their own space and loved the air hockey table. We were close to downtown Waynesville and hiking trails which we all enjoyed. We had a problem with the microwave and hot tub which Vacasa responded to promptly which impressed us a lot. We would highly recommend this property to anyone and are planning on doing another stay there next year!

Cute Cabin

Cute little cabin. Kitchen could be a little better equipped for cooking. Sink in master bath would not drain, dryer door would not stay closed and sheets on master bed were well worn! Road was very curvy but we got used to it. But over all a nice little place.

It's a beaufiful house..very clean with very comfortable beds. Really appreciated the dishwashing and dishwasher soap, shower soap and shampoo. Unfortunately it has very very few cooking pans. The ones there are in questionable condition. No mixing or large bowls for serving. Cooking was a challenge. Nice coffee pot though . The shades are broken in the upstairs livingroom and there are no shades in the downstairs tv room so there is NO relief from the direct afternoon sun making these areas unusable for much of the day. The floors are faded upstairs so I'm thinking the shades have been broken for some time. The 2 issues are why I only gave 3 stars.

Excellent Mountain Get Away-Retreat

We loved everything about the home. Very clean and perfect set up and location for our anniversary. We could not however get the upstairs gas fireplace to turn on. We followed instructions for manual turn on and our only guess is maybe the propane was out? I emailed customer service our first night and didn’t get a resolution. This is not a complaint. It’s merely to let the property owners know.

Beautiful Cabin in the Mountains

When we showed up we used the given code to unlock the deadbolt which worked, but the separate door knob was locked as well. We had to wait 1.5 hours for a local property manager to come let us in with a physical key. It was annoying because when you call for help you call a call center and then they submit your request to a local manager and it just takes time for the message to get around to someone who can help you. The local manager was very sweet and apologetic though. The house was lovely. The kitchen had plenty of cookware. The gas fireplaces were nice to warm up by in the cooler evenings. The hot tub was a nice addition too. We had a lovely time exploring Waynesville’s charming shops and farmers market.

Family Time

The cabin was pretty clean. Some dishes had to be rewashed before use. Kitchen had what was needed, but in the photos and description, a drip coffee maker was featured. In its place when we arrived was a Keurig with carafe side and single side. However, no carafe was available. The fireplaces were a nice addition, as was the hot tub and air hockey table. Floors are not soundproof, so they were a little loud for guests sleeping downstairs. The drive is steep as described and there are no hiking trails nearby, but our family was there just to hangout and relax so that didn’t bother us! The town of Waynesville was super cute with some good shopping and fun places for coffee and eating. There’s a WL-mart nearby so grocery pick up before getting to cabin was easy. All in all, it was a nice place to gather.

Perfect Stay!

Bear Print Mountain Lodge was the perfect cabin for our western NC vacation! We found the cabin exceptionally clean and well provisioned. It was larger than we actually needed but it met all of our needs and desires for a reasonable price. The jetted tub was nice for relaxing after a day of sight seeing and hiking! There were several nice restaurants in Waynesville and although the road is definitely a windy mountain road it is in good condition and the location was well suited for our adventures. We loved our stay here!

Communication Needs to be Better

When we arrived there was someone still working on the property. He was nice but a heads up could have taken place. When he left he forgot to return the key to the lockbox, the next day we left and locked up. Came home, opened and found no key to enter the place. Multiple calls of misinformation and passing is to several individuals we were able to get a key…several hours later. This area needs to be vastly improved. Property is beautiful!!
