Create memories to last a lifetime in this Asheville area destination.
Location:
Private home located in a smaller, very private community. You are just over 30 minutes to downtown Asheville, and under 15 minutes to both Mars Hill & downtown Marshall. You are also app. 45 minutes from the Asheville Regional Airport. Home is accessed via only paved and fully maintained roads right up to the development entrance, then it becomes a gravel access road within development.

Occupancy Summary / Sleeps in beds: 8 Max. Occupancy: 10
(PLEASE NOTE: Yonder provides linens for all beds; other occupancy will require guests providing their own linens.)
Description:
Bearfeet Retreat; a clever play on the iconic black bears of the Blue Ridge mountains, is a relaxing and welcoming escape for everyone looking for a true log home mountain vacation.
Bearfeet ushers you into communing & living amid the splendor of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
Come take in all that Marshall & Mars Hill has to offer its guests, including hiking trails, fishing, waterfalls, whitewater rafting, horseback riding, restaurants, antiques and so much more. As for Bearfeet Retreat; bask in the magnificence of the log home, soak in the "mountain feel", or relax and sip coffee as you take in the astounding views, along with being able to watch wildlife from your private deck, hot tub, screened porch and outdoor areas.
Come create your own memorable mountain experience!
The home affords year round access, including skiing at nearby Wolf Laurel, and is great for groups of any and all ages. The home is situated just outside of Mars Hill, NC, affording privacy for everyone to relax & enjoy the feel of the WNC mountains.
Get ready to be “wowed” by the never-ending views from this true log home retreat. With soaring vistas, high ceilings, vaulted rooms, and cozy spaces, you will immediately feel at home at Bearfeet Retreat. (That is of course if you can tear yourself away from the multiple decks, screened porch & soaking in the spectacle of the Blue Ridge Mountains, & actually venture inside!) The log home affords a stunning great room, massive top-line kitchen, spacious bedrooms, and MORE, with plenty of space to unwind and gather with your group. But, if you need some “alone time”, there is plenty of space inside and out to find your own serenity. There are 4 outside porches, decks, patios plus a hot tub for ultimate outdoor relaxation.
While at Bearfeet Retreat, everyone enjoys all that the home has to offer; from the Great Room, large kitchen, and of course the decks & cozy screened porch, where you can pull up a chair and take in the "sound of silence", observe the night as it fills with stars, and watch the fireflies come out to play in your backyard.
Take a seat and enjoy the sound of nature and the serenity in your own private paradise at the top of the world.
You are also just a short drive from America's favorite scenic byway, The Blue Ridge Parkway, motorcycle touring, biking, hiking, white water rafting, rock climbing, kayaking, canoeing, zip lining, Segway tour…just about any outdoor activity! Or, take a ride to downtown Asheville to enjoy the first-rate restaurants, shopping, galleries, spas, and entertainment.
