This is our second stay at the Bears Den and it was even better this time. Ken made some great upgrades since our last visit that really enhanced our stay. We loved the hot tub but we especially enjoyed the retractable ceiling in the sun room. Sunrises were great off the back deck and the deer sneaking through the yard were a special treat! I’m sure we’ll stay here again!

Very Pleasant Stay

Clean and nicely appointed log house with an incredible view and a large hot tub. Kitchen was very well stocked with utensils and necessities. The property managers were easy to work with and were the most hospitable we have dealt with.

Overall, we had a wonderful experience and really enjoyed our stay! The house has beautiful mountain views, and we loved being able to enjoy them from both inside and outside. The retractable-roof Florida room was one of our favorite features and a great place to relax and take in the scenery.The location was fantastic and conveniently situated near many of the attractions, restaurants, hiking trails, and other activities we wanted to enjoy while visiting the mountains.The cabin has a cozy, rustic charm that fits perfectly with the mountain setting. Some of the kitchen appliances and gadgets are a little dated, but there was still plenty available for everything our family needed.We did have a minor issue with the downstairs bathroom toilet not receiving water, but with several other bathrooms available, it wasn’t a significant inconvenience. The house also had a slightly musty smell when we first arrived, which improved after lowering the AC. We noticed a few spiders in the corners and higher areas, which is understandable given the wooded setting and high ceilings, but worth mentioning for future guests.Overall, the house provided everything our family needed for a relaxing mountain getaway. The views, location, spaciousness, and unique features made it a memorable stay. With a little extra attention to cleaning and some minor maintenance and updates, this property could be even better. We would happily recommend it!

Our group goes to Lake Toxaway every July 4th. We have stayed in a number of different properties and this one is definitely at the top of our list, this year being our 3rd stay. We hope to be able to return in the future.

Family Vacation

We had an excellent time at the Bear's Den. There was enough room for the kids to watch their shows and a second living area on the main floor for the adults to watch TV. The hot tub was a favorite with everyone and we had plenty of room for the nine of us to sit on the decks mainly having a good time and watching the view.

Awesome home layout and furnishings

House was perfect for our group with lots of places to relax both inside and outside. Beds, sofas, chairs were very comfortable. House very clean - only mildly concerning issue being was hot tub panel indicated that filter was well over 100 days overdue for needing to be replaced. Owner and host were very responsive to our questions and a repair that needed to be completed during our stay. I could see our group staying there again in the future.

Family Thanksgiving Gathering

The cabin was roomy with plenty of seating and rooms for our extended family. The host and owner were amazing to work with. Answered all emails and texts very quickly. The deck was great for hanging out with lots of chairs and a porch swing. The kitchen was very well stocked and I made thanksgiving dinner with no problem. We had a wonderful time and would stay at this home again.

Great Mountain Getaway.

We had a wonderful weekend at this mountain cabin! There were 10 of us plus our dog, and we were all extremely comfortable. The host was amazing with communication and made everything easy. Even my husband, who usually isn’t sentimental about trips, commented that he was sad to leave and already wants to come back in the fall. The location was perfect — a relatively short drive to Brevard and Brevard College, where our son is a senior. We loved being able to explore the town and catch some baseball games while we were there. Highly recommend!

Cabin guys annual getaway

5 college friends that have been going to NC for almost 40 years but first time in Lake Toxaway. We found the location ideal between Highlands, Cashiers, and Brevard. Enjoyed the local waterfalls, hikes, and great places to eat. The view from the cabin was one of the best mountain views I've seen and the cabin takes full advantage of it. The spacious but cozy home helped us ingest the beautiful Fall colors and mountain air that are unique to western NC. One of our guys gave it the highest compliment: "I'd stay here again!".

This house had everything we were looking for and more. The kitchen was well stocked from anything you needed to cook with all the way to things to do as a family. Just bring your suitcase! There is so much room to spread out in the two living areas but still feel like you are together as a family. The views are absolutely amazing. We enjoyed watching the sunrise and sunset in the sun room as well as on the huge deck. The hot tub was a plus too! From the time we booked our vacation until the day we checked out Ken and his wife responded very quickly. They even took the time to reach out prior to our vacation to ask about the birth of our grandson. This was the perfect place for our family to celebrate Christmas! We’re already planning our next vacation! Amy Dec. 2025

Western NC

Stayed here for a week with my wife, her family, some friends w/ their 5 year old, and a dog.The host is incredibly easy to get a hold of and attentive. If you text the host, you will get a response in a very timely fashion.The house has everything you need for an awesome week. It has tons of room for people to spread out. There is an open and enclosed part of the deck so you can soak in the views regardless of the weather.The view out of the house to the mountains is fantastic. You can watch the sunrise and moonrise (depending on the phase) from the comfort of a hot tub.The neighborhood is quiet, we saw some of the neighbors and everyone was friendly.We very much enjoyed our stay here.

Perfect get away stay

We were very happy with our rental over the holiday period. A home from home. Great location, near many trails between Brevard and Cashier. The property has breath-taking views of the mountains. The host, Jennifer, was very accessible. We had an issue with the heating but Jennifer helped us get that sorted straight away, there were also plenty of heaters in the house and even a stove we lite most nights. Very cosy indeed. She even kitted the house out with a christmas tree and decorations for the holiday season and I was very grateful for that. The kitchen is well equiped too. Plenty of games in the play room. Overall, I would give this place and the host 5 stars, I hope to return again in the future.
