About this property
Black Bear Falls - Log Cabin Retreat w/ Waterfalls, Mountain Views & Game Room
Where rugged meets refined, our breathtaking custom built log cabin awaits you in a private mountain setting, just minutes from Maggie Valley! You will drive 1.4 miles up a community paved road, where the cabin is nestled perfectly in the mountains of Waynesville, at an elevation of 3520 Ft. The cascading sounds of the waterfall drown out the city life and will soothe you into relaxation, making this the perfect family retreat. Take a load off with a cup of coffee, as you sit in one of the handcrafted vine rocking chairs, on the 44 Ft. long porch. When the sun goes down, roast some marshmallows and warm yourself up at the fire pit, as you sit on the bear benches that were designed and created by one of our local area chain saw artists. The cabin is 2200 SqFt 3BR 4 Full BA, and sleeps up to 10 people comfortably. Our log home will spark and inspire your imagination, allowing you and your family to create memories for a life time.
This cabin is located in Apple Creek Acres community, only 30 minutes from Asheville, conveniently close to Maggie Valley, The Biltmore House, Cattaloochee Ski Resort, The Blue Ridge Parkway, Harrah's Cherokee Casinos, the Smoky Mountain National Forest and much more.
Our BASE RATE is discounted for parties of 1-4 guests. Reservations with 5 or more guests will see a Guest Fee of $15 per guest/per night, which maintains a reasonable pricing structure as the party increases in size. This structure was setup to appeal to couples and families, both small and large.

Such an amazing property! So immaculately clean and relaxing! Kids loved the pool table and outdoor area. Very well stocked and comfortable for all! Will definitely stay again!
What an amazing property. We didnt get to see snow on our family trip, but the cabin made up for it. The whole property was amazing. The kids had a blast. They really loved the care package for us with all the smores stuff. The beds were very comfortable and the master shower was awesome! Really enjoyed the drive up and down the mountain. Hopefully we will have the chance to return one day.
We spent 8 beautiful nights in the cabin, everything we needed was already in the cabin.
The kids enjoyed a lot the pool table and my wife and myself the balcony.
Very quite place to get disconnected and spend family time.
What a beautiful home with beautiful views! We had everything we needed with plenty of space for everyone. It was also amazing to witness a thunderstorm come through from the extra long balcony. Definitely would stay again!
We enjoyed our stay at the cabin. The property and views are beautiful. It is very spacious, clean and well equipped! The host has thought of everything. We will be back.
Very peaceful surrounding and enjoyed listening to the waterfall. The house is very warm and cozy making you feel right at home.
Thank you for a beautiful and relaxing stay!
We absolutely love this place. It was clean, cozy and peaceful. The cabin was immaculate and stocked with all you could need. The waterfalls in the backyard were amazing. We spent a lot of our time there enjoying our own little piece of paradise. 10 out of 10 would recommend!
We enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back very soon! The cabin is very beautiful and had every thing we needed plus some! While we were there my daughter’s boyfriend proposed to her at the beautiful waterfalls in the back yard! It was such a special trip for my family!
One of the very best VRBO visits ever. Beautiful seclusion. Host thought of everything we would need and had it ready on arrival. Great communication with owners. Highly recommend to those who want a mountain get away.
This is an amazing cabin! They have truly thought of everything and there were so many thoughtful touches throughout the cabin (ex. smore welcome basket, fresh flowers, stocked keurig, charging cords by beds). We loved our time here and would not hesitate to book again when we return to this area. It was just fabulous!
We have stayed at several cabins and this one is so well done in all areas! Extremely clean and organized! It is nicely decorated to make it inviting but not cluttered. Very organized and lots of accommodating details in kitchen, bathrooms and laundry area.
Black Bear Falls was an incredibly relaxing vacation spot. Beautiful, quiet, very homey and welcoming. Absolutely loved the waterfall sounds. Exceptionally clean. It is a wonderful vacation spot and getaway. Even though it is up on a mountain, there is so much to do within a short distance in any direction or just sit and relax in a rocking chair on the covered back porch.
We had a wonderful visit for Thanksgiving 2024. My family enjoyed relaxing by the fireplace & watching football, playing pool and making s’mores. The house is very clean and has everything you need. Check-in was easy. The owners responded quickly to my questions. We look forward to visiting again soon. The legend of Pable Esco-bear was started on this trip! 😂 Highly recommended!
We had a fantastic time. The house is the most well equipped, well thought out VRBO we've ever stayed at. The owners added very sweet extra touches as well. We loved the fire pit, the waterfall, the game room, and basically everything! Only bad thing was we didn't schedule a long enough stay. 😊
A wonderful relaxing cabin and a wonderful fall weekend

We highly recommend this cabin! The kitchen is well-appointed and the views are great! The mattress and pillows in the master bedroom make you feel like you are sleeping on a cloud.

Amazing Cabin
We really loved our time in this beautiful cabin!!! Great thanksgiving memories !!!
This was one of the best vacations we’ve ever been on. The cabin and scenery was beautiful, everything was clean and stocked with any items we needed plus more. The location was secluded but close enough to town to enjoy all the local shops and restaurants. We will definitely be staying here again!
