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.

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.
Our family thoroughly enjoyed the beauty of this cabin the cleanliness the property had everything that we needed. There was a lot of back porch sitting and looking at the trees filling the breeze below. It was absolutely beautiful. I’m definitely booking this again.

Welcome back anytime. Thank you for taking good care of our cabin. And thank you for the kind review. Angel & Perry
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!
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!

About the host
Hosted by Perry Buroughs
We currently live in Mount Holly, NC, which is located right outside of Charlotte. We have 5 children: 4 girls & 1 boy, with 3 in college and 1 in a residential high school. Our children are attending Mars Hill University, NC State University, Central Piedmont Community College and NC School of Science & Mathematics. Our youngest daughter attends high school at Thomas Jefferson Classical Academy in Cliffside, NC.
Why they chose this property
My husband and I married in 2012 on top of Crowder's Mountain in Real Tree Camo attire, Cowboy Hats and Boots. We walked the mountain for our wedding and married on top. We both grew up around mountains during our childhood. I was born and raised in Shelby, NC and visited all of the NC mountains, including Maggie Valley as a kid. I went to Ghost Town every summer. It remains one of my best childhood memories until this day. My husband was born and raised in Houston, TX and spent his summers in Bandera, TX where his father had a large mountain ranch. Him and his father built a small cabin on the ranch together with no power tools. This cabin was used for their summer vacation home and deer hunting. For spring break, his family went to Vail, Colorado for snow skiing.
In order to fulfill our love for the mountains, we are managing and maintaining this mountain rental for our dad, to help keep the mountain memories close to our hearts.
What makes this property unique
We have added special touches to the home to make every guest feel special and welcomed. Our landscaping and water fall feature will absolutely amaze you. You become part of the Black Bear Falls Family and will want to come back again.
