The cabin was clean and inviting. The biggest challenge is driving the mountain road to get there as the pavement becomes narrow gravel road with many twists and turns. ##### Patricia B.

The porch makes the house. We spent a lot of time sitting relaxing, watching morning fog roll in making the hillside meadow dramatic, or watching the stars and moonlight at night. There are several rewarding hikes from the house with panaromic views at the top of the mountain. Great place for a family get together. Even during this year's summer heat waves, the temperature was more than pleasant. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Megan S.

We had three families and between the pickle-ball court that doubles as a scooter pavilion for the kids, the hiking trails and hot tub, we had the most amazing adventure. Alan, the owner, was a delight and very considerate. It was a chilly weekend but the house was cozy and warm and a perfect, “nice but not too nice” vacation rental to have kids enjoy. We’ll be back! ##### Megan S.

The setting was beautiful. One family member who is in a wheelchair had no problem getting into and around the house. The view from the deck is worth a trip! Everything was clean and pleasant. The kitchen was well stocked. We tend to use a lot of towels, so we brought a couple of our own just in case. Still, there were towels there and a washer/dryer that worked very well. ##### Karen P.

We had a great Spring Break stay at this secluded mountain cottage. We vacationed with another family (6 young children in total) and the place was very spacious, clean, and well appointed with all cooking and bathing necessities. There are mountain views from all over the cottage. In-person they were even better than the spectacular photos posted here online. Annie was even gracious enough to invite us down to their farm for the kids to meet and greet the animals - beyond hospitable! We also enjoyed the outdoor spaces quite a bit - the deck patio off the front of the house and the fire pit area on the driveway. We even had a very fun late night visit from the Owner's gorgeous chocolate lab, Chaos - such a sweet boy. This was our first experience renting through VBRO and it could not have gone better. Thanks, Annie! ##### Jim B. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Amy B. Dec 30, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Christmas getaway Our family wanted a getaway after Christmas to go see the lights at Biltmore. We all agreed to stay in something with more mountain "charm", and we were not disappointed with Bearwallow Cottage! We arrived late afternoon and were pleased to see the pavilion decorated with lights, as well as our cottage and very own Christmas tree!!! The kitchen had all we needed, the beds were on the firm side (which we prefer), the bathrooms were just right , we had plenty of room for our family of 7 both watching TV and at the dining room table. There was a bit of dust in the windows, but the view, the pavilion pickleball, the porch and the hot tub more than made up for that. Although it is a bit outside of Asheville, it was close to several hikes and Chimney Rock. The unpaved road was manageable for both our 4 wheel drive vehicles and one 2 wheel drive SUV and the directions were spot-on. We also had plenty of parking for our 3 vehicles. Thank you Bearwallow Cottage for a lovely visit!! ##### Amy B. Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2023 This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bill K. Nov 13, 2015 #### Wow, Wow, WOW! The only hesitation in submitting this review is that it might encourage others to book this gorgeous home...and we want it all to ourselves! Nevertheless, Annie & Alan made our entire experience feel as though we WERE the only people who would ever stay @ Bearwallow. The view from the front porch (which is a work of art) was an ever-changing masterpiece of mountain glory. The hike up to the meadow on the property is a must-do...almost 360-degree panorama of Blue Ridge ranges. If you're a cook, don't bring your knives - Annie has generously stocked her kitchen with only the best tools...granite counters/JennAir cooktop/plenty of cabinet space, etc. etc. Top-shelf bed linens; plentiful firewood for the wonderful wood stove; terrific recommendations on local restaurants; easy 25 minute drive to Lake Lure or Hendersonville...and did we mention the amazing front porch? The 1+ mile trip up the narrow road to the house is not for the faint of heart, but our all-wheel drive Volvo had no trouble at all. Would not recommend attempting it after dark and/or more than a glass of wine. We can imagine ourselves enjoying Bearwallow for many years to come!

Jul 4, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful mountain retreat We had a wonderful stay at Bearwallow. As a family, we were celebrating my MIL’s 80th b-day. Her sister was traveling from Arkansas to surprise her and family was visiting from Oregon as well as the SC coast. The cottage was gorgeous and the family loved the nearby hiking trails. One of our favorite pastimes was hanging out on the porch, enjoying the views, the quiet and the sweet sounds of nature. My SIL rounded the corner one evening, thinking she’d heard a deer. Much to our surprise, it was a mama bear and two cubs. We stayed a safe distance but were thrilled to see such a site so the cottage definitely lived up to its name. The cottage was roomy and we found all we needed in the kitchen. We were THRILLED to actually find a CLEAN grill for our use! Most places, it seems like the grill always needs cleaning but not here. The beds were super comfy. My only suggestion would be to add a grab bar in the downstairs bathrooms for added safety. That would be helpful for older guests and the downstairs guests did mention the tubs were a bit slippery. Most places have a guest book where you can find directions for certain things like operating the hot tub. We didn’t find one but there were a few directions posted near the door that were helpful. We had a fabulous time and we would love to come back again! Thanks for a wonderful stay and a great adventure for memories that will last a lifetime. ##### Wendy B.

Would 100 percent recommend. Only issue we had was the hot tub was not warm the first day. The water was low and had not been heating prior to us getting there. It was resolved by the next day and was able to be used. ##### greg r. Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### chris t.

The cabin was very clean and had everything we needed to feel right at home. The hot tub worked great, tons of firewood ready to burn, and easy checkout. Would highly recommend! ##### Anthony D.

Jan 29, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Peace of Heaven in Fairview This property was absolutely beautiful. The house was just as described and came very well equipped. Everything you could possibly need was there. There were lots of extra touches like towels for the hot tub, Laundry detergent, hand soap, etc. The views are amazing and we loved that there are hiking trails right off the property. The roads getting up and down the mtn are a little precarious. So be prepared for a gravel one lane road. But otherwise, we couldn't have asked for anything more. ##### Vickie H. Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rhonda H. May 19, 2019 #### Gorgeous views This property is perfectly situated on a mountain top. The back porch (where we stayed the majority of our visit) was awesome. Bird watching, sunrises and sunsets and the beautiful mountain breeze! Perfect get away. The owners were so helpful and welcoming. All our questions were answered quickly and they provided tons of information on the area. Excellent hosts! This property is outstanding in every way. ##### Rhonda H. Stayed 4 nights in May 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jeffrey M. Oct 18, 2018 #### Secluded living at its finest. Wow, this is a really great property. The house is neatly appointed and very comfortable. We cooked several meals and all the necessary supplies were at hand. The house is about 25 minutes by car from downtown Asheville. The road leading to the home turns to narrow gravel for the last little bit but aside from a little washboard, it was well maintained and easy to navigate in a passenger car. The back deck of the house is one of the nicest features, offering up views of the valley below and mountains in the distance. Annie and Alan were very attentive owners. Their attention to detail made the stay all the sweeter. If you're looking for a quiet place a little out of town, look no further. ##### Jeffrey M.

We celebrated a bachelorette weekend for my daughter and her bridesmaids and the cabin was perfect! We cooked several meals in the kitchen and it was well stocked with all the pots & pans and cooking utensils we needed. Also, the large table was perfect for our big group! The beds were very comfortable and the cabin was exceptionally clean! We had a great time shopping in Asheville and then apple picking at Sky Top Orchards! Would love to come back to explore Chimney Rock and the Biltmore! ##### Gina M.
