Bear's Den | 2 Homes, Hot Tub & Views⛰️ + Biltmore Pass
Make your escape to the beautiful Burnsville area, where Bear's Den awaits you. With rolling mountain views from the bubbling hot tub. Bear’s Den is composed of two 1-story homes, ‘Papa Bear’ and ‘Mama Bear’, making it the perfect place for a multi-family or large group vacation! Papa Bear is located on the upper level, and is the larger of the two properties. It features 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms for a total occupancy of 8 guests. Upon entry guests encounter the Game Room which leads into the living room, featuring modern furnishings, a flat screen TV, and a gas fireplace in a beautiful stone surround. The open floor plan features a fully equipped kitchen, perfect for making a home-cooked meal. Guests also have access to a full-sized pool table, great for shooting a game of 8 ball with friends. Mama Bear, the smaller of the two properties is located on the lower level with a separate exterior entrance. Mama Bear features 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom for a total occupancy of 4 guests. Like Papa Bear, Mama Bear offers a fully equipped kitchen which is great for multi-group visitors who are looking to prepare separate meals. Mama Bear’s living room also features modern furniture, a flatscreen TV, and an electric fireplace. Kick back on the private porch and you may spot turkey, deer, or even a bear with all of the wildlife activity in the area! The separate shared laundry room is located on the lower level with access from Papa Bear from an inner staircase, access from Mama Bear is through the exterior door. Offering easy access in a rural setting, Bear's Den will show you a more relaxed pace of life where days are spent outdoors exploring the surrounding natural paradise and evenings bring simple pleasures like stargazing or shooting a game of pool with friends. These homes are well-appointed with fully equipped kitchens perfect for cooking on vacation.

Hi Courtney,
Thank you for your review of Bear's Den. We are thrilled to hear you enjoyed your stay. We hope to see you in Asheville again soon!
Kindly,
Marissa & The Carolina Mornings Team
My family enjoyed our stay at the Bear’s Den. The house could use more seating areas than are in the house though, and the furniture in the bedrooms are very cheap.
The home we stayed in was spacious, clean and had more than enough common areas to accommodate my group of 8. And there were great views and plenty of wildlife to see as well.

Could use a little more furniture. No outside fire pit. unstable tv, didn't work the last 3 days. No grille. Plenty of room although the bottom floor somewhat separated but it worked. All in all, good accommodations.

Perfect for a girls getaway, loved the cleanliness and lack of stairs.
Plenty of space for everyone to gather around together and the cows were incredibly entertaining. We struggled with the thermostat and the trash instructions were a bit confusing.
Strongly suggest better mattress and a print out booklet with instructions/directions at the house.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location
Looks good, is cheap and weird
This property seems to reek of "We really don't trust anyone staying here"
1. For a place with 6 bedrooms, there is not enough furniture for 12 adults to sit anywhere except outside.
2. There is a LOT of space, and most of it is empty space.
3. There are completely inadequate places to put clothing, unless everything you have is to be hung up
4. There were not enough towels, and for a place with a hot tub, that creates a problem, unless as I said before they really don't trust or want people using the hot tub.
5. The furniture that is in place is cheap, like try to open the drawers on the bedroom endtable and it moves. Seriously looks like they just picked stuff that was cheap on Warfair.
6. The Kitchen which was to be a centerpiece of our stay (11 people eating meals for 5 days) looks like it was stocked by someone that doesn't know how to cook. No mixing bowls, two can openers, neither one worked. Not enough cups. It was difficult and we ended up having to purchase common kitchen equipment to make food for everyone.
7. Shoddy workmanship everywhere, the doorknobs rattle and not completely tightened down. Some sockets tightened so much they are cracked. Paint from the walls across some of the bedroom doors and the couch also had paint on it. Baseboards coming loose. The molding is installed off true and not flat with the walls in several places. Beds were rock hard.
8. The Refrigerator door hits light switches when opening
NOT a fun place to stay. Would not recommend

The area is amazing, and there was so much room for all of us to spread out, thos was an older group, so we wanted to just enjoy the surrounding and spend time with the family. We have a family trip every year, and we would use Carolina Morning again....Excellent
