About this property
The Ole Bear Rustic Mountain Cabin
The Ole Bear cabin is a fully furnished 2 br/1 ba surrounded by the beautiful Cherokee National Forest and overlooking historic Coker Creek. This rustic mountain cabin is nestled in the SE corner of TN between GA and NC with a backyard filled with hundreds of miles of recreation. The Ole Bear is the perfect destination for a romantic getaway, family vacation, or an adventure filled weekend.
Have some relaxation time at the Ole Bear cabin with a morning cup of coffee in a rocking chair on the private wrap-around porch while taking in views of the Unicoi Mountains and listening to the calming sounds of water flowing in historic Coker Creek or perhaps enjoy the song of the Whip-poor-will while having a romantic candlelit dinner at the outdoor dining area overlooking the firepit.

About the host
Hosted by Rosemary Pound
After retirement as a School Administrator, years of traveling and building nearing completion, we shifted gears and decided to make our vacation cabin our permanent home. So, in 2014, we packed up our two rescue dogs and moved full-time to this beautiful area. In 2016, fearful of running out of projects (lol), we purchased an adjacent property with a long-time vacation rental in need of some work. After months of blood, sweat and yes, some tears we were ready to again offer the Ole Bear cabin for vacationers to make their own magical mountain memory.
Why they chose this property
My husband and I are longtime RVers that love to travel and explore. In 2010, while on vacation from Florida we searched for an RV friendly property that could serve our needs for a few months out of the year and we were taken by the beauty of this area. We found the perfect property in the Cherokee National Forest a short distance up a mountain overlooking a beautiful creek with a rich history and some of the most scenic falls right down the road, but… restricted against RV's. Convinced this was the perfect location for us we built our dream vacation cabin instead.
What makes this property unique
As the owner of the Ole Bear cabin our goal is to make your mountain escape as memorable as possible. We try to provide everything you may need during your stay, but are available to assist with any questions you may have and ensure everything is to your satisfaction. We are also available to share area information, recommendations and directions (there is a portfolio of area information in the cabin and the Coker Creek Welcome Center with a wealth of information less than 1 mile from the cabin), but otherwise the cabin and property is yours to enjoy as you see fit.
