Unplug on 4+acres/mtn views/sauna/reading room/firepit/<5 to town/dog friendly

Hikers and nature enthusiasts: grab your dogs and head on over! If you love to unplug from it all, but still want the convenience of modern life, Bearfoot Hideaway is for you. This original 1964 Black Mountain gem, has been brought back to life with a full renovation in 2025: luxury, but not stuffy. Most people would have knocked the home down and built a mic-mansion, but we don't believe in that waste and love the authentic feel of the space. Tucked up on top of a mountain, on over 4 acres of property and less than 5 minutes to historic Black Mountain, this location can't be beat (and your phone will actually work!). 360 degree mountain views in the winter, with a sunset view and clear view of Craggy Mountain year round, perfect for those seeking a peaceful escape with the comforts of home. Fresh air and a landscape alive with local animals is what this home is about.

The ranch with walk-out basement design offers a relaxing vibe, encouraging you to kick off your shoes and go barefoot. Besides the mountain view, there is plenty for the eyes to see as all of the art was sourced right in Black Mountain.

Upon opening the door you are immediately greeted with views of Craggy mountain. Hang your coat up in the closet, and get your pets organized with provided bowls, leashes and slobber pads. Dog treats and bear bells await on the entry table. Cruise through to the wide open gourmet kitchen with every utensil/dish you may need to cook a huge meal, including basic spices, oils and condiments. Stocked by true cooks, the new stainless appliances and marble countertops afford plenty of space to prep for a delicious dinner or prepare light snacks before heading out onto the deck or patio. Enjoy a large meal at the dining table with seating for 8 (pop up table and chairs for the extra 2 if 10 in your party), or hang on the large deck with adirondack chairs and enjoy the changing views of the mountains. Grill away on the gas & charcoal grill, and afterwards plop down on the world's most comfortable sofa, stream a movie on the 55' smart tv and enjoy the gas fireplace.

The home boasts 5 total bedrooms, all with new 12"-14" hybrid mattresses, black-out curtains & white noise/USB/Bluetooth/alarm clocks. The 3 bedrooms on the main level are down the hall, the master to the end of the hall on the left provides a queen bed and on suite bath with walk-in shower. On the other side of the hall is a large bedroom with a king (dog crate in closet if needed) and another with 2 twin beds. These rooms share the large hall bathroom with tub/shower combo.

Head down the stone lined stairs to the basement level, where you will find another den with 42" smart tv, gas fireplace and dedicated workspace with super fast wifi. The laundry room is tucked away off the den. Around the corner from the workspace is a very large marble tiled shower and bathroom, shared by 2 bedrooms each with their own tv's: 1 king and 1 queen. Right outside of the bedrooms is the Reading Room, a space to read, do puzzles or just unplug from everyone. Head out the basement level doors to the large fire pit area and barrel sauna, or grab one of the many board games and share some laughs.

Curated by nature lovers, art collectors and animal enthusiasts, the space offers everything you need to feel like a local. We encourage you to spend as much time outside in the fresh air as possible! Grab a book and pick one of the many spots outside to read and slow down. Enjoy a relaxing meal around the picnic table, and afterwards some corn hole and s'mores around the fire pit. Walk off that huge meal on the trails behind our home, right up the steps in the front and then hit the sauna to reduce muscle fatigue. and reconnect with yourself. You may even choose to take a quick trip to town to enjoy a walk around Lake Tomahawk, and a chance to let the dog swim, or just wander and shop.

Inside the manual to the home you will find directions on everything you could possibly need to have a fantastic vacation. Owned by avid hikers, the manual includes some favorites hikes for all level hikers, as well as favorite spots for that post hike drink! We encourage you to dive deep into all Black Mountain has to offer, from amazing art, shops, pottery, distilleries, breweries and excellent restaurants. And of course, Asheville is just minutes away! Bearfoot Hideaway is the perfect spot for the adventure enthusiast, or the person who just wants to slow down and unplug from the world. We look forward to hosting you!
