About this house rental

You will fall in love with this hidden gem on 7 private acres & nestled in a valley adjoining 50,000 acres of DNR Wildlife management area. Excellent hunting retreat or weekend get-away for those seeking relaxing peaceful setting. Wildlife galore (black bear, dear, turkey), hiking, kayaking, Foothills Trail, Palmetto Trail, Sassafras Mountain, Victoria Valley Vineyards, waterfalls, and so much more! We have stocked our home with games, movies, books, and we hope you enjoy your stay!
The space
This is a second home for us and we try to keep it stocked with essentials for ourselves and our guests. We live on a small farm in Pickens County near by and we try to keep you stocked with staples that are nice to have when grocery stores are not as close by. However, Holly Springs Grocery/Gas Station is just down the mountain. Feel free to use what you need. We also have hiking hammocks, bug spray, flash lights, dvds, books, toys for kids, and a first aid kit for your use. Please Note: our cabin is literally in the middle of the wilderness and there is no internet or cell phone reception. We do have a house phone on site for emergencies or if you need to make contact with us or other guests.
Guest access
You will have full access to the 7 acres of our property and the 50,000 acres of DNR Wildlife management area and trails. Some hills are a little steep when walking up so please use caution. Also, we recommend carrying bear spray, compass, and being prepared as much as possible. It is very easy to get turned around. Our property lines are marked with orange flags.
Interaction with guests
If at anytime you have questions feel free to reach out. We have supplied maps, area information, sites of interest, etc. there onsite.
Other things to note
If you would like for us to put you in contact with a local fly fishing guide or kayaking guide- just let us know!

We loved our stay. Perfect location! Away from it all but not too far from anything. House was beautiful and accommodating. Had everything we needed and any even staple food and supplies if we forgot anything. Only messaged the owners once before checking in but they were very responsive when we did. The only thing I would note is the strong moldy smell in the sun room but it wasn't a necessary room so we just stayed out and kept the door closed. Kids loved the toys that were there. Plenty of games and movies as well but we spent so much time out and about that we didn't need it. Would definitely stay agaim and recommend to others!

The cabin was clean and well set up. The environment was very nice, refreshing and relaxing. My only issues were with the door to the house and a little difficulty with the key box at the gate. But, otherwise everything was great!

We go on vacation to get away from it all. This is a great spot. The drive up the mountain is nice and when you arrive you are surrounded by woods. Loved the firepit which had plenty of wood avail. Good firm bed (may want to bring an extra blanket in colder months), nice hot shower and decent pressure. Kitchen and bath well stocked. Home has a real cozy feeling.

Property was a great spot for several hikes at different waterfalls and state and national parks. We enjoyed building a fire every night and roasting marshmallows. Very remote, exactly what we were looking for. We would definitely recommend it and rent it again for future trips.

I rented this property for my mom and her boyfriend for their anniversary and they absolutely loved it. They loved getting to unplug and enjoy the beautiful nature that surrounds the property. It was also easy to get to unlike some other cabins. I would definitely rent this property for them again.

The property is amazing. It is peaceful to the point of healing. I needed a staycation after a month of illness and a few crazy weeks at work. A true gem and just what the doctor ordered. Extraordinary value and some of the best money I've spent in a very long time. Brent has been awesome, also. Communicating promptly and taking care of a few small issues along the way. Met him today as he was up here doing maintenance. He is a great guy and the model VRBO host. A primary concern for me was still being able to work a few hours a week while I was here. The Starlink internet works well enough to stream, browse, and text. The infrastructure in this area isn't yet mature enough to support Zoom / Teams / Skype etc. If you visit and need to do a video call, I highly recommend the new Starbucks in Pickens. Otherwise, I was surprised to find decent connectivity even during storms. The area is some of the prettiest in the world. Sassafras Mountain, Jumping Off Rock, Whitewater Falls, are all in easy driving distance. Surrounding towns like Brevard, Greenville, Cashiers, and Highlands are absolutely worth a visit. You won't run out of things to do, you will run out of time to do it in! 5 star experience; start to finish.

The place was awesome and we plan to come back because the 2 nights we stayed was not long enough. Also probably wont find internet in this area but the Starlink service worked great and probably the only thing that will work out there. Brett was a great host and had everything we needed. The place was super nice and we all felt right at home. We will be going back!!!

Very private location with all the comforts of home. Well stocked kitchen and comfortable layout. Really enjoyed the proximity to Lake Jocassee and Keowee. Nearby are many scenic locations with miles and miles of well maintained Forest Service roads for hiking and sightseeing. Driving up to Jumping Off Rock is a must see overlook. Stunning view of Lake Jocassee,

My husband and I brought our two small children for the weekend to spend some time together before the end of summer. We had the best time, everything was perfect and my 4 year old won’t stop asking when we can go back! We especially enjoyed the porch and fire pit. Bed were also very comfy!

Relaxing Getaway

Relaxing Getaway

We were passing through for a couple of days on our way up to TN so we could spend a couple of days on Lake Jocassee. The cabin was incredibly relaxing and had everything we needed! The communication was excellent and we were very happy with our stay. The driveway was a bit interesting and we questioned if we were in the right place at first, but we figured it out. A family of bears came right up to our trailer of kayaks not even five minutes after getting there (we had gone into the house already), but we didn't see them the rest of the trip. We really enjoyed the fact that there was no cell phone service or internet as it forced us to unplug and relax. It was quiet and cozy- exactly what we were looking for. We especially loved the books and fireplace. We will definitely come back when we come through again. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

A true gem

We had the most wonderful experience at the Bear Creek Cabin. Being fully present with our family while enjoying the peaceful sounds of nature was just what we needed. The cabin was the cleanest rental property we’ve ever stayed in with every accommodation we could hope for. It was so comfortable and Brett was so responsive. Truly couldn’t have asked for anything more and we look forward to our next stay soon!!

Our kids loved the creek right next to the cabin, and making s’mores every night. I appreciated being forced to unplug, as any cell service took about a 20 minute drive. Great family getaway! There is so much to do in the surrounding area, in terms of outdoor activities, too.

Great place to escape in the mountains

The house was perfect and so close to the Jeep trails we were in the area exploring. All creature comforts were provided and the beds were perfect. I’ve never slept so well away from home. The Florida room was our favorite place to hang out. It rained our 2nd night and the sound was so peaceful on the tin roof. We hope to be back with the kids this summer. Highly recommend this great secluded place.

Just as described, it is quiet and a chance to get away from it all. We enjoyed both an outside and inside fire. Loved hearing the creek while we sat by the outside fireplace. House is nicely equipped so we were able to prepare meals (going out isn't easy). The furniture is comfy.I especially loved the porch which was decorated with a Christmas tree, very nice touch.If you want to disconnect with the world and enjoy nature, this is the place!
