Annual Mountain Vacation.
The house was perfect for our crew of three families with teenagers. It was very clean and well equipped. The theater room was a big hit with the large screen tv, comfy seating and popcorn. This is our third year in this neighborhood, and we love the area and will definitely be back.

Family Time
The listing cant quite capture the beauty of the environment where this home is located. The home had a great floor plan for young families- and two grandparents and was perfectly outfitted. It offers hiking and access to both Asheville and Black Mountain and our multigenerational family enjoyed our stay immensely. And the Fall colors…

Amazing Property with a View!
Happy Bear Lodge far exceeded our expectations in a vacation rental property. We have stayed in many vacation rentals, and this one was by far the best. The home was immaculately clean when we arrived and we experienced no issues at all while there. The beds were very comfortable and all the furnishings, decor, and kitchen were great. We enjoyed the hot tub and fire pit. The communication from the host Michael was outstanding. He was very helpful in making recommendations in the area as well as the trails. The hike down to the upper Catawba Falls was the highlight of the trip. If you are looking for a first class, easy vacation rental look no further. The hosts have truly thought of every detail. We cannot wait to stay here again in the future.

Perfect for extended families!
Gorgeous views, spacious home with enough bedrooms and bathrooms for our extended family of 11. Very safe for our 3 toddlers, with a door to the downstairs level and fully protected outdoor space. When we accidentally broke the coffee carafe, they gave us a replacement within 15 minutes! Movie room was a bonus, the laundry room had full size washer and dryer and Wi-Fi worked well. A few quirks…most of the showers were quite small, the trundle bed alcove upstairs (where a toddler slept) had no window coverings and the electrical kept tripping so we had to reset the breaker multiple times. Overall, we would not hesitate to recommend!

Family Vacation at Happy Bear Lodge
Perfect home for a family vacation of 10. The home was spacious, extremely clean, and the views of the mountains from the deck was a favorite hang out. The hot tub and media room were a plus, as well. Michael and Bernadette were great hosts!

Loved this property
Beautiful setting. And each bedroom having its own bathroom was a huge plus. Only two very minor issues- the tv in downstairs bedroom 3 wasn’t working properly. Hooked up to Dish but it wouldn’t come on nor would it allow our teen to stream. And the water just wasn’t very hot most of the time at bath/shower time. But everything else was spot on! Furniture was comfy, the view was stunning (hate we didn’t see any wildlife), and just a perfect set up for our family.

Home away from home!
There is nothing but positive to say about this home. This was our first away from home holiday vacation and it was perfect! Weather was quite cold the first few days but there is so much to do inside that no one cared. Loved the game room and movie theater. Michael was always available for communication. Only wish we could have stayed longer, maybe indefinitely!

Stunning New Home with Great Mountain Views 5 STARS!
What a memorable and perfect time our family had. The only negative thing I can say is that we had to leave! Beautiful brand new home in a very peaceful and private setting, located in a gated preserve community with awesome hiking trails and waterfalls - nature at its best. The homeowners, Michael and Bernadette have thought of everything to make this the most stress free and easy vacation. Communication was great and you can tell they really care about their guests' well being. The kitchen was by far the best equipped kitchen and stocked cabin of any rental we have ever stayed at, right down to the spices, oils appliances, etc.... The house was incredibly clean and comfortable. It even smells brand new! Outdoor spaces were fabulous with comfy furniture to overlook the mountains both in the front and back of the property. Plenty of room with 6 en-suites and multiple outdoor places to escape or gather. Many fun nights were spent around the outdoor fire pit, game room, movie theater. We will be staying here again next year. Book this home without hesitation, you will not be disappointed!
