We were delighted with Black Bear Den. We are frequent visitors to the Cashiers area and felt this home was one of the best experiences . The home is well provisioned, clean, within a beautiful neighborhood and offers amazing mountain & lake views. The owners were extremely helpful. The outdoor fireplace and deck offers an amazing relaxing space.

I ultimately chose this property based on the great reviews and the property was just as advertised. The house is lovely as is the neighborhood and the views overlooking Lake Glenville with the mountains in the background are exceptional. The owners were very accommodating and responsive. We definitely will be revisiting this gem in the near future.

There is nothing negative we can say about this property! Had a wonderful Thanksgiving week away in this beautiful home and the beautiful mountains of NC! The views are amazing! Home was very clean and the owners were always there if you needed anything or had any questions. Highly recommend!

Property was very nice, good location, beautiful view. Would stay there again. Online information had confusion on the number of beds/bedrooms in the house. It worked out well though and we very much enjoyed the stay.

Beautiful, spacious and comfortable property with excellent views of Lake Glenville. It is a little more remote but we were looking for the quiet side of things so it was perfect. Owner was very responsive. Word of advice if it is the season for a fireplace to purchase firewood at Ingles in Cashiers or the Lawn and Garden store on the way in to avoid a $150-250 fine for using any of the owners wood. Also there is a $150 fine if the stove is not perfectly clean at checkout. Lastly there is a list of checkout chores that must be done before the 10 AM checkout such as stripping the bedsheets and starting the load in the washer etc. despite a housekeeping fee. Overall a perfect retreat in the mountains in a quiet neighborhood overlooking the lake.

The beauty of the foliage and the mountains is breathtaking. The home is so lovely and our hosts so gracious. We do look forward to returning. That view would never grow old!

We had a 4 night get away with our best friends. The house was extremely comfortable. The deck is amazing. We enjoyed a lovely fire on the porch every night. It is easy to get to Cashiers, Highland, Brevard and Cullowee.

We throughly enjoyed the Black Bear Den. Beautiful scenery, well maintained property and the owner, Jill, couldn’t have been more helpful. Short distance to both Highlands and Cashiers. We have already recommended this property to one of our friends.

Breathtaking views and very clean property. A lovely home.

This was a beautiful log cabin with amazing views of Lake Glenville and the mountains. I loved the privacy and peacefulness of the property. The location was also very convenient, only 15 minutes to Cashiers where we bought groceries at Ingles and 30 minutes to Main Street Highlands where we enjoyed dining and shopping . I took my children hiking at High Falls Trails, which was only 17 minutes away. When we were all warn out, we enjoyed our time back at the cabin continuously enjoying the beautiful view from the living room and deck, while grilling on the outdoor grill. This cabin had everything we needed. The kitchen was fully stocked; there were games, warm, cozy blankets, comfortable beds, and soft bath towels. As an added bonus, the owners,Laurie and Bruce, were great. They were easy to reach, and responded to questions promptly. I would definitely recommend this property. It will not disappoint.

Beautiful house and amazing view.

The property is nothing less than spectacular. Arrived 12/26 to a previous night’s white Christmas snowfall. You will not be disappointed in staying at this property.

Our family of 4 had a wonderful getaway at this beautiful, meticulously maintained mountain home during Christmas week. The holiday decorations were a nice surprise that enhanced our holiday spirit. Given that it was COVID time, we chose to stay close to the home and ate all of our meals at the house. But found the nearby High Falls trail beautiful to walk along and also booked a 2.5 hour private outdoor adventure tour with Highland Excursion that we all loved. We even enjoyed just walking around the neighborhood and down to their lakeside beach. The outdoor deck overlooking the lake is breathtaking and will offer you all the zen you care to absorb. As others have commented, the kitchen is fully stocked with quality cookware, which this cook much appreciated :) . Our only suggestion would be bringing your Roku along with an HDMI cord, so you can hook it up to the main tv to have access to watch your Amazon & Netflix movies for evening tv watching. Would highly recommend!

Beautiful views and relaxing atmosphere. Property is well maintained, clean and comfortable. We were up for Thanksgiving and had everything we needed for our family to feel at home.

We spent 4 days here and thoroughly enjoyed our visit! The outside porch and fireplace was my favorite feature. The house itself is spacious and well equipped with lots of extras. The appliances were all high quality. The sunrise in the mornings are just glorious from the deck ans the huge spacious windows allow for the best view of the mountains and the lake below. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here. The house is nestled in a private gated community so you feel very safe.

This property is the best we’ve ever rented. The house was very clean and well supplied. The views are spectacular, and the outdoor fireplace was our favorite feature. Very private and quite neighborhood. We would love to be able to stay another month. D & J Brane

The property itself is fine and represented fairly in the listing. However, the owners rented to us knowing full well that there were unresolved service issues including nonfunctional ice maker and an issue with the cooktop.This was not disclosed. Since there was no ice for the entirety of our stay, we had to make a trip into town, 20 mins each way, every day to purchase ice. We gladly made ourselves and the property available for two separate service visits during our five day stay. No accommodation was offered or extended by the owners for this disruption and inconvenience and expense.Instead, they were quick to reclaim our damage deposit . This brings up another very important issue. The owners require you purchase damage insurance coverage. DO NOT agree to this. It is a complete scam. In order to make a claim against this coverage you must make the claim BEFORE your rental is completed, ie, when the owners make a claim about scratches to the stain on the deck, determined through video camera footage, not in person inspection, after you have left, you have absolutely no recourse on the insurance policy.And yes, the owners have security cameras on during the stay and review footage...something you may want to know if you are concerned about your privacy. In addition, the internet listing has a picture of a dock with boats.Do not be mislead, you are not allowed to keep a boat there
