Quite the adventure
We love staying here!! We came up this trip to celebrate my husband’s 65th birthday & it will be one to remember - Hurricane Helene!! The valley protected us & we never lost power or use of water. Our host stayed in contact with us up until we lost cell coverage & was back with us once our service was restored - thank you Mr. Rucker !!!

Perfect for Us
This is our second stay and it was just as great as the first. The cabin was perfect for our needs. The cabin is not too far up the mountain and has a fabulous view. Quick in and out and close to everything we love about the area. The hummingbirds were a treat! There were no elk this time but we still have the memories of the babies we saw during the first stay.

Getaway!
We loved this place. It was clean, well stocked, comfortable seating and comfortable master mattress. (We didn't use 2nd bedroom). The location is convenient to so many places. We hiked to waterfalls, saw elk at Cherokee and rode the train in Bryson City. Sitting on the deck was lovely with hummingbirds visiting all the time and beautiful view of the mountains. There is some noise as it is not far from the main road, but it didn't bother us at all. The host was great and we would definitely come again!

Motorcycle noise all day, every day. Beds uncomfortable. I was looking forward to a nice quiet get away but found out to late that the property was to close to the main road thru Maggie Valley. The property was well kept and furnished well. I booked for a week but left a day early due to noise and beds.

Lovely little place!
We first stayed at The Bear Den last October. It was the perfect place to come back to after a long day of hiking. The hot tub, the recliners, and the fireplace all contributed to making it cozy and relaxing especially when we were sore and worn out 🙃. Great view out the back, and we even saw several elk walk right up the driveway! The bed was also quite comfortable. The best part though is that Don is a great host who goes out of his way to be helpful—we found this out when we decided to extend a vacation this winter by coming back to Maggie Valley after spending a week in Banner Elk. On short notice Don went above and beyond to accommodate us and it really capped off our trip on a high note. The location is great as well, only about 5 minutes away from Joey’s Pancake House in one direction (get there early in peak season, though not nearly as busy in winter), and the Blue Ridge Parkway in the other (both directions were closed for the winter but it was open right at the junction where you can access one trailhead). One thing to be aware of is that Google Maps doesn’t think you can turn left from the main road onto the drive—it will try to send you on a weird double-back-and-around route but we soon learned that it’s easier to ignore that and turn left (if you have a very large SUV it might be hard to make the turn, but for reference a Kia Sportage did just fine).

The view was amazing. The house was pristine clean and very adequately supplied. First time I have stayed at a VRBO and not had to go buy paper towels. The owner gave detailed instructions about the security system, tv, etc. The owner also made a lot of recommendations of places to eat. We will definitely be back.

This property was perfect for two of us to get away for Thanksgiving. House was decorated for Christmas and was very nicely furnished. It was close to Maggie Valley and a short drive to Waynesville. We will stay again if we are traveling alone.

We were hoping for rest & relaxation & we were not disappointed - we are an older couple & this place was perfect for us!! We really enjoyed our morning coffee on the porch swing, afternoons relaxing in the hot tub & evening meals outside by the fire pit. We had plenty of entertainment with watching all the hummingbirds & an occasional visit by the elk. We loved this place & hope to return again soon!! Don is an amazing host!!!

Super clean and nice
Excellent property. So clean. Easy to get in and out of town. Beautiful view from the porch. Hot tub is wonderful and has a deck built up that it sits down in so it's a matter of just sitting down and swinging your feet over. Perfect for anyone with back issues. Easy steps in the door but if you find those 3 too difficult you can go around the side and use the steps by the hot tub which are even shallower. Covered deck with porch swing was great. Hummingbirds were fun to watch. Don is very easy to work with. We'll be back! Thank you.

Hummingbirds and mountain views
This whole transaction went exceptionably well from beginning to end. Don the owner, is great to work with as he answers your questions immediately and doesn't keep you waiting for answers. The home is very nice. The hot tub is clean and inviting. I found myself very relaxed during our stay. There are two hummingbird feeders on the back porch and a family of at least six different birds continuously visiting even when I was inches from the feeder. The home is well stocked and we found everything in great working order. We intend to return next year.

This home/spot was one of our favorites! We have stayed in many VRBO rentals and by far this was one of the best. Home was very clean and best bed ever for a rental. We enjoyed the area and will definitely be back. Don was a very gracious host. Check in with us through email to make sure all was well and asked us to reach out if we needed anything. Would give 10 stars if it was available!

This was our first visit to the area and we couldn't have been more pleased with this property. It had all the amenities we needed, was spotless and the communication with the owner was excellent. He even recommended several restaurants in the area which were all very good. This was an ideal location for us as we wanted to visit both Asheville and the Great Smoky Mountain National Park.
