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.

Mountain getaway / Wedding

Absolutely beautiful Place! Quiet, secluded area other than the cabin beside us. hard to tell how close they are in the online pictures but, it was no problem at all, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. I'm an avid player so, the pool table was a little disappointing but, not a big deal! We ended up throwing darts and playing some table tennis instead.

Great Getaway Cabin

The Bear Cabin was everything we expected and more. Access to the cabin could not have been easier and once inside, it was spotless and very well equipped for our visit. We particularly enjoyed sitting on the porch, listening to the creek below and along with sounds of birds during the day and crickets at night. I highly recommend this cabin to anyone who wants to get away unplug and unwind.

Mostly Good

It was very cozy and relaxing getaway. Only few complaints, the game room games are all old and pretty worn down. The pool table is bowed and legs aren’t very sturdy so table wobbled, ping pong is just in pieces you set on top of the pool table, those boards are bowed as well; and almost all the darts are broken for the dart board. After letting the jets run on the tub there was debris and a weird film in the tub from them, so we didn’t get to enjoy that part of the stay. But overall it is a very nice cabin in a very relaxing area and my boyfriend and I still enjoyed it. Thank you.

Enjoyed Our Stay

We were very pleasantly surprised when we arrived at our cabin. We loved the setting, the rushing creek down below, the whole “back to nature” feeling. The cabin was very quaint and creatively decorated to complete the theme. We had all the necessary items for a comfortable stay. We loved the downstairs game room! It was a plus since it rained most the the time we were there (2 days)..thanks for a great experience!! OKI Dave
