Bear's Lair cabin at Lake Lure was just lovely! It had amazing views of the Lake and Smokey Mountains up close! Cabin was very comfortable and easy access to Lake Lure and other attractions. My family and I enjoyed shooting pool, playing games, cooking and having the quiet time to reconnect with each other.

Great view of lake and golf course from deck. Fireworks were awesome on Labor Day!!!

The house was amazing! Wonderful views, plenty of room, and everything we needed. We could put the babies to bed and have game night or stargaze from the hot tub. We had 4 generations, from 7 months to two 83-year olds, and everyone LOVED it!
Staying on the Rumbling Bald resort property was fantastic. We went on a lake tour and rented a pontoon through the resort for much less than the Lake Lure marina. The pools and beach area meant that there was always something to do. I'd do it again for sure!
The management staff at Mr. Lake Lure was very helpful and responsive, and had the house spic and span clean. I can't say enough great things about our stay!

Our group of seven had a great week at Bear’s Lair. The views from the cabin were beautiful and we enjoyed the amenities of Rumbling Bald, especially the pool. The beds were all comfortable and the cabin had enough room for everyone to have some space when needed. Within a 15-45 minute drive (mostly due to curvy mountain roads) we found much to do including visits to Asheville, Black Mountain, Chimney Rock, horseback riding, and white water kayaking. The only issues we experienced were related to cleaning/upkeep; a leaking dishwasher and moldy cutting boards and unclean kitchen items. I did contact the rental company and they were quick to respond and offered to send someone out with new items. Overall our group had a great week and many memories were made!

Very good

Views are wonderful but did not make up for:
1. Leaking sink in master bathroom upon arrival
2. No wifi at all....even after reporting the problem several times.
3. 1 bed was dirty...discovered after my son slept in it.
4. Dirty wine glasses in the hanging rack
5. Cheap and insufficient supplies for a family of 6
6. Downstairs TV did not work...we reported and nothing was done.
7. No extra throw blankets
8. Dirty utensils left next to stove
9. A few Christmas touches would have been nice.

Overall we loved our stay. There were a few bugs in one of the upstairs bedrooms, and an electrician showed up unexpectedly while we were in town, but otherwise we loved our stay and would definitely come back. Perfect setting for a relaxing family vacay!

From the minute we walked into the house it was disappointing. The sliding glass doors that should be providing a clear view of the mountains are filthy and 1 of the panels has a broken seal, the glass panel needs to be replaced. The house is dark which hides the considerable amount of dust especially under the couches and the beds. The dishwasher leaked and took 221 minutes to run one cycle. The kitchen is lacking pots and pans to cook. If you have ever tried to cook eggs in a stainless steel pot you know it is virtually impossible. The bed comforters are not being washed after each visit which considering what we have all gone through the last 2 years is appalling. There were no throw blankets to use, and the 2 bed blankets found in the closet have not been washed any time recently. The ice maker doesn’t work and the Keurig didn’t work. While the property manager was quick to respond and replace the coffee maker it shouldn’t have been necessary. The shower upstairs was disgusting, with hair on the walls and the door looks like it hadn’t been cleaned in months. Lastly, we couldn’t watch TV as a family because the only TV that worked and was large enough to view was in the upstairs loft. With the little kids sleeping in the office and the master bedroom there was no opportunity to watch TV at night. The listing says the TV in the basement was capable of streaming but there were no remotes and the TV was an old box unit with a VCR and DVD player enclosed….time for a new TV! The area is lovely but overall quite the disappointing rental. The Owners need to pay closer attention room to their home.

The house was fantastic! It could’ve used a few more cooking utensils. It rained a lot so we stayed in. There was no Internet and no phone service. Management did try to get the Internet working but because of that we had to leave a day early. Overall it was a fantastic house and we will stay here again! Thank you for the hospitality!

Roomy cabin for families
Beautiful views from deck, plenty of space. Everything we were looking for and needed this cabin had. Kitchen could be more updated. We enjoyed the hot tub every day. Just needs a new cover. Overall a wonderful experience!

Beautiful Location
We had a wonderful time at the property, the view was fantastic and there was plenty of space to spread out! The cabin itself was nice but older than others we've stayed in. The hot tub cover was in rough shape and several lightbulbs were out (including the fridge and freezer) but the rental company said they could not be replaced because they didn't have the right bulb or they were hardwired.
All in all, a great trip with plenty of things for everyone to enjoy! I cannot say enough good things about the view and the beds were comfortable, too.

Lake Lure - Bears Lair
Renting this property was such an amazing experience. We had such an amazon time, the views were breath taking. Easy access to the pools, lake, and beach. Enjoying the hot tub at night was a great experience to watching the stars. Night time was playing pool or boards games and listening to music. Definitely want to return but also buy my own place. I didn’t want to leave this place!

Amazing View, Beautiful home!!
The view was breathtaking! The home is large enough for 5 adults and 4 children with room to spare!
An updated kitchen and more high top seating outside would be my only suggestions!
With our 12 hr drive!

Truly the Bears Lair!!
With 3 levels, this setting worked very well for our weekend retreat!
We did have a Black Bear visit the ground level deck as it tried to get trash out of the can. It came back a 2nd time. All of the guys were excited over the experience as we came out to chase it away, took a picture or 2 & watched it w/ flashlights ease down the hill.

UNSANITARY
BEWARE!! UNSANITARY!! We looked forward to family vacation all to be thoroughly disgusted by what we encountered. We caught Covid-19 because of the unsanitary conditions. Not what you would expect when we spent several thousands of dollars to rent a cabin for a week.
Upon the first family member’s arrival he noticed that several things were not clean. As he went to take a shower, he found someone’s USED Q-tip inside the shower. In the daylight we realized just how dirty everything was. There were layers of thick dust and pet hair on the furniture. Our toddler found a French fry in the living room which none of us had eaten anything there yet. Soon after, the toddler found dead bugs, and candy wrappers on the carpet.
As we began setting the table for breakfast, we found that the silverware drawer had food and crumbs inside of it. The silverware, plates, glasses, and pans ALL had to be washed before we could use them as they appeared as though they had only been rinsed and placed inside of the cupboard. Some of the pans would not come clean as they were rusted through and should be thrown away. The comforters and blankets on the beds were NOT clean. One of the blankets smelled like feces. There were other people’s hair ties, and candy wrappers under the beds and cushions, and a hairbrush was found under a chair in the living room along with a thick layer of dust that made it apparent that the place had not been cleaned for a very long time.
We called to report the filth to the management office and the Manager, Bobbi sent two teenagers to mop the floors and bring us clean blankets. They arrived with a mop and bucket but no cleaning chemicals, just water and a bucket! Even after they left the floors were STILL filthy. Our socks immediately turned dirty. The jacuzzi left a sticky film on us which grossed us out and we did not use it again. The “no pets allowed policy” is obviously not enforced as there was pet hair all over along with a dog cage upstairs!?
Christmas day we came down with symptoms of Covid-19 and were later diagnosed as Positive. We reported this to the Mr. Lake Lure Property Management Office however Management refused to take our calls. Finally, after the 8th call, we spoke with Manager/Owner Greg Balk. We were flabbergasted at how condescending he spoke to us. He was extremely rude and unprofessional. At one point he even laughed at us. For the sake of others, we will be reporting this to CDC, BBB and Health Department.

Great Getaway
View was amazing! The house was very comfortable and relaxing. The fireplace was so cozy too! The only issue we had was the toilets didn’t flush well. Had to hold the handle down a long time for it to flush.

Bears Lair Review
The Bears Lair is an amazing mountain cabin with a great view. Very spacious with a full kitchen and lots of amenities. The hot tub, pool table, and wrap around balconies were our favorite! I would highly recommend this rental to anyone.

Amazing views
The day before our check in hurricane zeta came thru knocking out power for nearly the entire area. The management company was very prompt to keep us updated about the power situation. On the day of check in power was still out at the cabin but was steadily coming back up in the area so we decided to go with it and see if power came back.
The house is amazing with spectacular views of bald mountain and lake lure with plenty of room for everybody and everything you need there as well as very clean.
We never got power back that night and waited till 3 the following afternoon Mr.Lake Lure vacations was more then willing to move us to another property and refund us the first night.
All together given the circumstances it was a wonderful trip and the management went above and beyond to make sure that we were taken care of! We will be back next year

Lovely Home!
Lovely home in a beautiful community. We spent most of our time spent on the deck enjoy the fall colors and evenings in the hot tub. Bedrooms were very comfortable. Thank you for your hospitality!

Great property, definitely recommend.
This is a great clean property, better than what you see in the pictures. Kitchen appliances could be upgraded but not a deal breaker. Property management could do a better job, it seems there is an internal communication issue. Overall we enjoyed our stay and I would recommend this property to anyone.

Beautiful View
We had such a great visit to the Bear's Lair! The views of the lake and surrounding area were beautiful. We really enjoyed the hot tub after a full day of hiking at Chimney Rock. We also rented a pontoon boat for an afternoon on the lake. The house has the rustic charm of a mountain house with plenty of space for everyone. It was very convenient to have access to Rumbling Bald resort for dinner, as well. We would definitely stay here again.

Great spot for a family retreat!
We brought two families of four and had more than enough space! Great location 5 minutes from the pool and golf course at Rumbling Bald. Only suggestion would be to update the appliances but that would definitely not prevent us from coming back. Many thanks!
