Welcome to Black Bear Retreat!

Black Bear Retreat is a large, upscale 5BR mountain home near the golf course, clubhouse, and ski slopes on Beech Mountain.

The main level of Black Bear Retreat features a step-down great room with soaring cathedral ceilings, a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace with gas logs, an HD Smart TV, comfy leather furniture, and a wall of windows that open out to mountain and golf course views. The adjacent dining room features a dining table that seats 12 guests comfortably. The kitchen has a central island bar top with 3 more bar stool seats and a high-top bistro table with seats for 4 more. Black Bear Retreat dines up to 19 guests amongst the dining and kitchen seating options. The kitchen features granite counters, upgraded appliances, ample storage and cabinet space, and a wood stove with a solid wood mantle set in a brick hearth. Off the kitchen is a fun, cozy den with another HD Smart TV, comfy furniture, a laundry closet with a washer and dryer, and a small bar area.

Great for large families
The property was great for hosting a large family with multiple gathering areas to allow ample space to enjoy. Close proximity to Beech Mountain Resort. We had some plumbing issues during our stay but property manager was quick to respond and fix issues. We will definitely return to this property.

2 families
This was our second time staying at this property. It is plenty big for 2 families of 4 and we had a wonderful stay. We had no trouble cooking 2 dinners here and enjoyed the pool table and watching tv in the evening. We all went on a beautiful walk around the golf course because their was no snow one day we were there. Easy drive to Beech Mtn resort just 2 minutes away. Great pizza place near by too.

Very nice cabin, beautiful views!
The property was as listed. All the amenities we needed. Ample seating areas, large dinning table for our group of 9 adults. The kitchen had ample space to work. It had all the pots and pans, cooking utensils, plates cups and glasses. The decks were large, we could view the sunrise and sunset, nice hot tub, ample seating and tables. We used the grill and it worked very well. There is parking for 5 vehicles. The beds were good quality, but for our group of seniors too firm.

Decent property
The cabin is nice and great views with a ton of deer around the property. A few complaints however… the beds were EXTREMELY firm… and I mean rock solid. The dishwasher would not work right and after pressing start would shut off. There were 13 of us and only 3 at a time got a hot shower before the water turned cold. We were allotted 1 towel and washcloth per bed so we did have to bring some of our own which was a little inconvenient. The bottom floor bedroom had what appeared to be roach droppings. There was an exterior door to this room which does explain however I feel this should have been looked over prior to our arrival.

Bachelorette Weekend
The house is beautiful! Amazing sunset. We had a few questions/issues after check-in and the management addressed them immediately. My only complaint was the kitchen is not very well equipped if your goal is to cook in house. Missing kitchen needs like cutting boards. Would definitely recommend!

Great house for a group
The layout was perfect for our group of two families. So nicely decorated with a ton of extra good quality pillows and blankets. We enjoyed the location on the golf course and walked daily and saw deer multiple times everyday. The jacuzzi and a lot of outdoor chairs was really nice.

Perfect for a weekend skiing
Close to beech, not as close to sugar but still great for both. The property was really cool, the master is really nice- big shower and a bidet, it was super luxurious. Also a really nice grill which was great for staying in and cooking for our large group! Great mountain weekend retreat!

Amazing house with incredible view
This property is simply fantastic! Stayed here for a long weekend ski trip with the guys. It was PERFECT— the beds were comfy, there’s a ton of space, and it’s beautifully designed. The tv in the kitchen are was great for video games while we cooked, the dining room table is huge, and the living area is cozy with great couches and a big tv. Downstairs there’s a pool table, another tv, and a wood-burning furnace which kept us quite warm. The deck has lots of outdoor space, and the hot tub was a welcome treat after a day of skiing Beech Mountain, which is literally just 5 minutes down the road. I can’t recommend this place enough. I hope to stay here again soon!! P.S. The home is owned by Carolina Cabin Rentals, and they were awesome to work with. Great staff, super helpful!!

Christmas stay
This house worked out very well for a family stay during Christmas. There are plenty of living spaces to congregate. It is also nicely decorated and has beautiful views of the mountains. With a little attention to detail, this would be 5 stars. Even though we had to send a list of names and ages of all members of our family, we were provided 11 towels for 14 people. Only 2 trash cans for a week during Christmas was totally inadequate and no instructions on how to deal with extra trash. Lastly, some attention to the kitchen utensils would have been nice. No cheese grater, lids and pots do not match - minor items but again, this easily could be a 5 star house with some attention.

Property delivered as promised!
The house was as pictured in photos! It was nicely appointed, comfortable and accommodating. In fact the view from the deck and living room was way better than expected! Plenty of space for a large group. The house is on the golf course, very close to Beech Mountain and town - terrific location. I recently rented a premium property from another company and got a rundown fixer upper -- miserable. This property restored my faith in vacation rentals! This one is a winner!

Beautiful Home
The pictures don't do this home justice. The home itself is beautiful with all the amenities you would need. The check in process was easy as well. The only negative was the hot tub was broken which was really disappointing. The management company did offer us a small refund for it being broken but we would have loved tk enjoy it while it snowed. Overall i would definitely stay there again!
