The Bears Castle - Fire Pit, Hot Tub!

No Pets, No Exceptions

LUXURY LOG HOME ~ INTERNET ~ GAME ROOM ~ FIREPIT ~ HOT TUB ~ MOUNTAIN VIEWS

​Sprawling Log Cabin Elegance and an ideal central location! The Bears Castle by Carolina Properties is an ultra-luxe, mega-fun, one-stop vacation destination in the Western North Carolina mountains.

The carefully manicured exterior cultivates an air of luxury from the moment you park in the drive. The firepit is divine and perfectly positioned. The hot tub is large and in pristine condition. A wrap-around deck equipped with two propane fire tables will transcend your experience from joy to absolute excellence. Don't miss this opportunity to stay in one of Lake Lure's deluxe log cabins.

Upon entering the home, you'll find a welcoming foyer with a half bath nearby. The spacious great room features a gorgeous mountain view, vaulted ceiling, gas log fireplace, and a deck walkout as the main attraction. The great room is a socializing haven! Stocked with frequently requested items, you will love the open kitchen with upscale appliances. On this main level lies a master bedroom with a deck walkout. This home is sure to please, from family holidays to travel opportunities with friends.

Need to get some work done? There's a desk in the loft, and the Internet works great! Two queen bedrooms share an upscale bathroom off the loft. Both rooms have mounted flat-screen TVs, and the room nearest the top of the stairs has a lovely lake and splendid mountain views. The other bedroom is spacious, bright, and light!

The lower level at The Bears Castle was designed with fun and convenience in mind! Here, you'll find a full bathroom, a laundry room, and a second kitchen complete with a refrigerator, stove, microwave, and sink. This level has a bunk room to accommodate your sleeping needs: one full, twin, and two queen beds. There is also a semi-private queen bedroom (open at ceiling level). Ready for some competition? Try out the six-person air hockey table, pool table, ping pong table, skeet ball, and pinball machine before relaxing on the wrap-around deck. The beautiful fireplace and a flat-screen TV seal the deal to make this your one-stop shop for destination "fun!".

AREA WIDE NOTICE: Lake Lure will undergo a drawdown from January 1st, 2025, through the first quarter of 2025 (March 31st). The lake will begin to be lowered by approximately 1 foot per day until 12 feet have been reached. Infrastructure maintenance, dredging, and dam projects will be expedited during this time frame. These efforts by the Town of Lake Lure may affect access to the lake and restrict any lake usage. For more information, click here. The lake will likely be back up to normal levels by mid to late April. While we understand this is an inconvenience, this does allow you to enjoy the full beauty of Lake Lure in the fall and holiday season. This will not affect the smaller lakes in the area, only Lake Lure itself.

Appreciation for the Mothers in our family
Excellent. This property is what it advertises. A mountain view lodge, with clear view across quiet mountains (almost no house lights seen at night). The lodge is a short drive off main Lake Lure road, up an easy (gated) well maintained road (no scary drop-offs). We took our mother, grandmother, three aunts for a treat vacation. The main level master bedroom is large and very spacious bathroom, saved our grandmother from climbing stairs. Upstairs roomy two bedrooms with jack-and-jill bath also worked out very well. We used both lower level small queen room and bunk room as well. No one felt cramped and had space to find their own quiet spots. Kitchen was adequately stocked and we cooked several times. Recliner sofa seats in main lounge area allowed us to relax in evening and watch movies on large TV. Large jacuzzi with many jets was much appreciated. Wrap-around deck on main and large lower level allow ample outside space. Would definitely visit again. No complaints, my only suggestions are couple of hooks in lower level bathroom to hang robes on and some more lighting for that downstairs games room. Second fridge in lower kitchen so useful for drinks and snacks. Locally, large Ingles supermarkets about 3 miles away is so handy. Closeness to Chimney Rock and L. Lure beach is great. We made easy trip to Hendersonville twice as well, close enough for shopping trip with lunch or dinner.

Bear Castle
The house has a stunning view. It feels much larger than described and is truly a beautiful house. Definitely a luxury mountain home. Loved the shower and very large jacuzzi tub in the master bath. Being able to sleep with the little waterfall in the background was so relaxing! The home is also close to the town and only minutes from the grocery store or dining. Property management was able to accommodate an early arrival and check-in and out was a very easy process. I would definitely stay again!

Magical Christmastime getaway at Bear's Castle
We had a wonderful time staying at Bear's Castle. Our Christmas family gathering had nine members from around the south gather to enjoy the mountains of North Carolina. The cabin was clean and ready for our arrival from the start. The game room and basement floor were perfect for our three teenagers who spent almost all of their time downstairs while the adults enjoyed the living spaces and kitchen. All the amenities were as advertised and we will be excited to return at a future date

An hour from Biltmore
We chose this location because it’s close to Biltmore. However, we also enjoyed a day visiting Chimney Rock, which is only 10 minutes from Bear Castle. The house is amazing. Plenty of room…cozy at the same time. With the “arcade” on the lower floor we talked about bringing our grandchildren on our next visit. I highly recommend Bear Castle!

Will definitely stay here again. Clean, comfortable and updated. The kids loved the basement and played for hours. We had trouble with the hot tub heating and the property manager came within a couple hours of us calling and fixed it. Great place!!!

Beautiful home!!!
My family had a wonderful time staying at this new home in Lake Lure. Everything was great other than a couple very small things... The man-made stream did not work (landscapers tried to fix it but it stopped as soon as they left)as well as the Pinball machine is broken (small piece has become dislodged and blocking ball return)and I love Pinball. But lots of other games to keep everyone intertained.
