About this property

Bear Gone Fishing- Cool Down in the Creek!!! Mins to Highlands

Nestled in a mountain valley among the Rhododendron and moss-covered boulders you will find our spacious creek side chalet right on the rock shoals of Middle Creek. Enjoy the sounds of the rushing water or amazing views from the 3-level deck. Take long walks down the dirt road looping through an enchanted pine forest and visit the horses grazing in the pasture. Spend your time relaxing and exploring the summer camp like vibe on property or visit many of the surrounding attractions. There is so much to do. We are minutes away from Scaly Mountain Outdoor Center and Highlands Aerial Park. Minutes from Highlands! Wild and scenic. Location, location, location! Amazing location for all the Highlands Plateau has to offer!!! Convenient to Sky Valley, Clayton, Dillard, Franklin, and Highlands. Easy access from 106/Dillard Road. We'd love to have you at Bear Gone Fishing for your next mountain getaway!

About the host

Hosted by Lori Stapleton

Host profile image
My family is from the Atlanta area and we visit Bear Gone Fishing at least once a month. I'm a hands-on host and want to make you are comfortable and have everything you need to enjoy your stay. It's always exciting when guests leave us notes telling us how much they appreciate our piece of paradise in the Highlands Plateau.

Why they chose this property

Private yet easy road access to 106/Dillard Road. Property has one of the best waterfronts in Scaly with your own backyard falls, trails, shoals, and baptizing holes for a nice dip. Lovely dirt road for nice long walks.

What makes this property unique

Great for families!! This property was built as a family getaway and it's magical. The setting is private and simply gorgeous. Our creek frontage on Middle Creek is a on shoals making it a unique and picturesque section of the creek. Throw in a line and see if you can catch one of those sneaky trout or take a dip to cool off. The house is spacious and comfortable with three decks for lounging and two fireplaces.
