NEW! Movie Theater, Pool Table, Hot Tub and MORE in Bear Lake Reserve!!

Enjoy the peaceful mountain getaway you’ve been dreaming of in this luxury resort home! Amenities include an in-home private movie theater, hot tub, pool table, and two wood burning fireplaces (one inside and one outside). We also have a whole house generator wired to kick on automatically in the event of a power outage, so you’ll never be left in the dark. It can happen quite often in the mountains.

The Bear Lake Reserve community offers two outdoor pools, a water slide, two hot tubs, beach, boat rentals, hiking trails, tennis courts, and a Nicklaus designed golf course. There is also a full service restaurant and bar on site, at the Lake Club.

Mountain views are seasonal. During the spring and summer, you’ll feel like you're staying high up in a tree house surrounded by green and all the privacy you could ask for. Mountains are visible in fall and winter.

This kid friendly home is packed full of board games, puzzles, toys, books, a video baby monitor, Pack n Play, and high chair for use during your stay. All bathrooms are also equipped with child toilet seats and step stools. Up to 2 dogs are welcome with an additional cleaning fee.

Bunk bed featuring two twin mattresses is located in the downstairs common area, along with the movie screen, theater chairs and pool table.

🌱Organic Everything🌱
Trade the toxins of your everyday life for pure mountain air inside and outside of this home. All mattresses, linens and towels are provided and organic. You’ll find Molekule air purifiers, dishes that are locally made by a potter in Asheville, and a living room couch manufactured in NC. Nothing made in China.

Venture out to the nearby towns of Sylva, Dillsboro, Cashiers or Waynesville for great restaurants and craft breweries. Or, head up to Bryson City for a scenic ride on a vintage steam train! The closest ski resorts are Sapphire and Cataloochee.

There is a restaurant located onsite within the gated community as well, inside the Lake Club building. Menus and reservations can be found here: https://bearlakereserve.com/wine-and-food/lakeside-54/

The address for Bear Lake Reserve is 412 Lake Forest Drive, Tuckasegee NC. That will get you to the front gate of the community. Directions to the home will be provided after booking.

Spectacular Location Surrounded by a Canopy of Trees
Our family of four plus our son's girlfriend (Ages 23-26) thoroughly enjoyed staying at Kelly's mountain house. The house had everything we needed to have a fun-filled vacation! The screened-in porch out back was optimal for coffee, cocktails, and smores! The downstairs pool table, movie theater, and hot tub were also a major hit! We loved that we could spread out and come together for meals. I prepared many meals in advance because the home is far from supermarkets and restaurants (except for the Lake Club). We took advantage and thoroughly enjoyed the Lake Club dining, swimming pool, gym, lake beach, and gorgeous views. We rented a boat and hiked up to a magnificent waterfall, took out paddle boards, and did the stunning sunset cruise. We also golfed on the amazing course surrounded by gorgeous mountain views. The air was so crisp and delightful coming from Florida. While the roads were winding and unfortunately the Lake Club restaurant services with disappointingly slow, we loved our vacation and have fallen in love with the area. Kelly, our host was very responsive and we are grateful. Thank you!

Lots of fun! Family friendly stay
Very clean and as described. The host has made home very kid friendly- step stools for sinks, markers and coloring books, little inserts for small bottoms on toilets etc! Kitchen well stocked with pots and pans. Hot tub in great shape. Bear lake reserve also was great and added to our experience. The public pool is beautiful. Beach wasnt busy and is lovely. We used the marina for a boat reservation and reserved pickle ball, hiked the trails, and did their family smore night. Really a wonderful time. Host responsive. Just FYI there is no grill. Not a complaint just fyi for folks as one pic lookslike there is. Would stay again without hesitation!

Beware of Bears
It should be noted that it takes about 20 minutes of very winding hairpin turns to get to the property after passing through the gatehouse. Make sure you have all the supplies and groceries needed before headed up because getting in and out takes a while. The house is well stocked-though there is not a traditional coffee pot. As mentioned, the WiFi is very spotty and pretty unreliable. Luckily we did not need it much, but my husband did need to jump on the computer for a few work related issues here and there. We found the restaurant was very understaffed and the food pretty subpar for the cost. It took over 2 hours for lunch that consisted of what was essentially frozen fish sticks on a bun. The major dissatisfier was that our vehicle was broken into by a bear and caused significant damage while parked in the driveway of the property. We did not have trash or food in the vehicle and all windows were up, however, we failed to lock the doors. When we notified the BLR staff we were informed that the same thing happened to another family earlier this summer. The property owner was overall responsive and friendly, but unfortunately did not have the front outdoor cameras set to capture animal activity. As we are unfamiliar with bear activity, it would have been nice to know that this was a potential risk beforehand as we would have certainly been more cognizant of locking the vehicle doors. Hopefully this will serve as a reminder for anyone considering this location.

This home is absolutely beautiful and includes everything you need for a wonderful stay.! We booked our stay for our son’s wedding at Castle LadyHawke so we had a very busy schedule and it was great to have such a comfortable place to unwind each evening. Kelly was great to work with and her communications were some the best I’ve ever received from a host. We hope to book again in the future a family vacation.

Summer Vacation
The house is nice, bedding was comfortable. No issues with power and/or water. WIFI is not the best if you are operating more than a few devices, definitely no cell service. The club house is very nice, 2 pools, bar/grill pool side, a sports bar and restaurant. Marina just down from club house / pool with boats, canoes, kayaks available for rent reasonably priced. Note the drive to the house, and from the house to club house and back is not for anyone with vertigo(182 curves) from main road to house, just a little over 5 miles.

Our family of 9, ranging in age from 6 to 50 had an awesome week in Kelly’s home. The house had a lot of extras that made our time there even more enjoyable, from the hot tub, pool table, porch swing to the home theater - there was something for everyone. Kelly was quick to respond to any questions that came up and kept us informed of the various activities at the lake club during our stay. This is definitely one of the best maintained and well equipped homes I have experienced using VRBO and we would gladly return.

Kelly was a wonderful host and her house is fantastic! I stayed her with my husband, 4 kids and our dog and we all had a great time. It rained a bunch but there’s so much to do in the house- the movie theater, hot tub (which is covered by the upstairs deck and was awesome in the rain), tons of kids games and puzzles, and the treehouse bunk beds that my kids played in a bunch. The kitchen is probably the best stocked kitchen I’ve stayed in- every kind of cookware and utensil you might need. And the handmade plates, bowls and mugs are really beautiful. All the amenities at the Lake Club were wonderful too! We’ll definitely be back!

Beautiful home
Everything about this home was amazing! We were there for the Christmas weekend. Arctic weather hit over the weekend. Luckily this home has a generator, since there was a power outage. We have rented many homes for vacations. This one has all the necessary items and even more! Wood for the fireplace, and many other essentials that aren’t typically included. Kelly was more than accommodating and was quick to respond with any questions or concerns. Our favorite part was the THEATER ROOM! Watching Christmas movies was a big activity for us because of the below freezing temps. We were able to go on a short hike on the trail which leads from the road(no driving necessary). It was a beautiful hike along Bear Creek. I strongly recommend this house! We will consider going back in warmer weather. My favorite house we’ve stayed in so far!
