NEW! Movie Theater, Pool Table, Hot Tub and MORE in Bear Lake Reserve!!

Enjoy the peaceful mountain getaway you’ve been dreaming of in this luxury resort home! Amenities include an in-home private movie theater, hot tub, pool table, and two wood burning fireplaces (one inside and one outside). We also have a whole house generator wired to kick on automatically in the event of a power outage, so you’ll never be left in the dark. It can happen quite often in the mountains.

The Bear Lake Reserve community offers two outdoor pools, a water slide, two hot tubs, beach, boat rentals, hiking trails, tennis courts, and a Nicklaus designed golf course. There is also a full service restaurant and bar on site, at the Lake Club.

Mountain views are seasonal. During the spring and summer, you’ll feel like you're staying high up in a tree house surrounded by green and all the privacy you could ask for. Mountains are visible in fall and winter.

This kid friendly home is packed full of board games, puzzles, toys, books, a video baby monitor, Pack n Play, and high chair for use during your stay. All bathrooms are also equipped with child toilet seats and step stools. Up to 2 dogs are welcome with an additional cleaning fee.

Bunk bed featuring two twin mattresses is located in the downstairs common area, along with the movie screen, theater chairs and pool table.

🌱Organic Everything🌱
Trade the toxins of your everyday life for pure mountain air inside and outside of this home. All mattresses, linens and towels are provided and organic. You’ll find Molekule air purifiers, dishes that are locally made by a potter in Asheville, and a living room couch manufactured in NC. Nothing made in China.

Venture out to the nearby towns of Sylva, Dillsboro, Cashiers or Waynesville for great restaurants and craft breweries. Or, head up to Bryson City for a scenic ride on a vintage steam train! The closest ski resorts are Sapphire and Cataloochee.

There is a restaurant located onsite within the gated community as well, inside the Lake Club building. Menus and reservations can be found here: https://bearlakereserve.com/wine-and-food/lakeside-54/

The address for Bear Lake Reserve is 412 Lake Forest Drive, Tuckasegee NC. That will get you to the front gate of the community. Directions to the home will be provided after booking.

Beautiful home & area

The house was fantastic! It was beautifully decorated, cozy, well equipped, and clean. The theater room was a big hit with the kids! Bear Lake Reserve was nice as well. We did some exploring of the area near Sylva/Disllsboro & Highlands. Tubing on the Tuckasegee was a blast and Quarry Falls was fun as well. Great family trip!!

Absolutely everything we expected and more!!The house was perfect for our family and with it only being four of us, we had lots of room to spare. My daughters were obsessed with the movie theater and I was in heaven in the hot tub on the back deck. The location is great too! Not a far drive from the Lake Club and the pickle ball courts, plus we were able to walk to the park! We took advantage of ALL of the amenities like taking a guided hike, the sunset cruise, renting kayaks and paddle boards, etc. We couldn’t have asked for a better vacation and we will absolutely be back!!

Property just as described! Very Clean and well stocked/furnished (especially with little ones). Easy and timely communication with owner. Fantastic amenities within community, but it is remote with no cell service. Internet worked fine the entire stay. Bring all groceries needed for your stay. Closest grocery store is 40ish mins away. Roads are narrow and winding but worth it for the views! Would return for an another family weekend getaway. If you’re looking for a place to unplug - this is it!

Great location in a wonderful mountain community!

This was our second time visiting BLR. The first time we stayed near the Greeter's Cottage (ie: the entrance to the community) but the drive to the Lake Club was a long and windy 20min. This time we decided to stay closer to the Clubhouse, and Kelly's home is only about 5min away. It was great for easy access with our 3 young kids! We got lots of time at the beach/pool, and they loved the Bear Creek Park (which is walking distance from the home). They have a blast playing in the creek! Kelly's home was full of fun amenities like the movie theatre setup, bunk bed slid, board games, and hot tub! The kitchen was well stocked and everything was comfortable. We would stay again!

Haven at the Hilltop

Everything about this cabin embodies the essence of Bear Lake, a North Carolina mountain lake community. Kelly has lovingly thought of every detail to make her guest feel right at home. Plenty of room to spread out and enjoy the fresh mountain air on the outdoor decks. The kitchen is well stocked with everything a cook would need to prepare any type of meal. Cute spaces for children, teens, and adults of all ages. The lower floor movie theater was a hit with our group!

Even better in person!

Kelly was a wonderful host and her house is fantastic! I stayed her with my husband, 4 kids and our dog and we all had a great time. It rained a bunch but there’s so much to do in the house- the movie theater, hot tub (which is covered by the upstairs deck and was awesome in the rain), tons of kids games and puzzles, and the treehouse bunk beds that my kids played in a bunch. The kitchen is probably the best stocked kitchen I’ve stayed in- every kind of cookware and utensil you might need. And the handmade plates, bowls and mugs are really beautiful. All the amenities at the Lake Club were wonderful too! We’ll definitely be back!

Very clean and as described. The host has made home very kid friendly- step stools for sinks, markers and coloring books, little inserts for small bottoms on toilets etc! Kitchen well stocked with pots and pans. Hot tub in great shape. Bear lake reserve also was great and added to our experience. The public pool is beautiful. Beach wasnt busy and is lovely. We used the marina for a boat reservation and reserved pickle ball, hiked the trails, and did their family smore night. Really a wonderful time. Host responsive. Just FYI there is no grill. Not a complaint just fyi for folks as one pic lookslike there is. Would stay again without hesitation!

Summer Vacation

The house is nice, bedding was comfortable. No issues with power and/or water. WIFI is not the best if you are operating more than a few devices, definitely no cell service. The club house is very nice, 2 pools, bar/grill pool side, a sports bar and restaurant. Marina just down from club house / pool with boats, canoes, kayaks available for rent reasonably priced. Note the drive to the house, and from the house to club house and back is not for anyone with vertigo(182 curves) from main road to house, just a little over 5 miles.

Spectacular Location Surrounded by a Canopy of Trees

Our family of four plus our son's girlfriend (Ages 23-26) thoroughly enjoyed staying at Kelly's mountain house. The house had everything we needed to have a fun-filled vacation! The screened-in porch out back was optimal for coffee, cocktails, and smores! The downstairs pool table, movie theater, and hot tub were also a major hit! We loved that we could spread out and come together for meals. I prepared many meals in advance because the home is far from supermarkets and restaurants (except for the Lake Club). We took advantage and thoroughly enjoyed the Lake Club dining, swimming pool, gym, lake beach, and gorgeous views. We rented a boat and hiked up to a magnificent waterfall, took out paddle boards, and did the stunning sunset cruise. We also golfed on the amazing course surrounded by gorgeous mountain views. The air was so crisp and delightful coming from Florida. While the roads were winding and unfortunately the Lake Club restaurant services with disappointingly slow, we loved our vacation and have fallen in love with the area. Kelly, our host was very responsive and we are grateful. Thank you!
