About this property

Bear Creek Retreat ~Lake Lure~ Book Now: Fall Leaves, Apples & Crisp Air!

UPDATED ADDENDUM: After months of cleanup and recovery from Hurricane Helene, the area is ready—and we’re welcoming guests again!
Our cabin is in great shape, and all our favorite local cafes and restaurants are open and thriving.
There’s plenty to explore, from peaceful lake days to mountain views, hiking trails, and golf!

If you’ve been waiting for the right time to unplug and recharge—this is it. And your visit helps support a community that’s worked so hard to bounce back. Come breathe it in.

Escape to an incredible lakeside community when you stay in our cabin offering home-away-from-home essentials, like a fully equipped kitchen, a Smart TV, and washer & dryer. There are two spacious king bedrooms with en suite bathrooms for your comfort and a peaceful, covered porch with rocking chairs and a swing. One of the bathrooms has a jetted bathtub to relax after a day of adventure!

Our "little slice of paradise" is nestled in the Lake Lure Village Resort, boasting a private community beach, scenic trail to a private waterfall, and a lookout point over Lake Lure.

Downtown Lake Lure is 2.5 miles away, and Asheville is a beautiful 45 minute drive away. Our favorite hike, Party Rock, can be accessed walking from our cabin!

Your safety matters. This property features a Ring floodlight device with an exterior security camera facing the front outdoor entry and driveway. The camera does not look into any interior spaces or the private porch. The camera actively records video and sound when motion is detected by the device.

SPECIAL NOTES:

About the host

Hosted by Paul and Teri Hamel

Host profile image
Paul and Teri call Orlando, FL home, although, Lake Lure is our "home-away-from-home".
Paul retired early after serving Orange County as a Firefighter for over 32 1/2 years and Teri retired from the Walt Disney Company in early 2024 after 46 1/2 years of service. We both loved our careers, but have adjusted to retirement beautifully!
We love the great outdoors, especially hiking, skiing (water and snow), paddle boarding, boating, and even sitting on the porch swing watching the birds and bees flutter around.

Why they chose this property

We have been visiting this community in Lake Lure since we got married in 1988. Each visit, we rented from various owners, and made memories with our children, who are now grown! We love the fact that although homes have been built, the community has, by and large, remained pure and unchanged.

In 2021, the opportunity to become a property owner in this community presented itself and we quickly agreed the timing was perfect! We visit frequently, and are delighted to share our little "slice of Heaven" with others when we are not there!
