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.

The back porch offers an outdoor dining area where you can sit and relax all day enjoying the waterfall and fire pit in the back yard; both new in 2017. In the master bedroom, enjoy a king size bed, TV, private bathroom with large walk-in shower, and private porch access. The second bedroom features a queen bed. The third bedroom features 2 trundle beds suitable to sleep 2 adults or 4 kids comfortably. The third bedroom also has its own private bathroom with tub/shower combo.

Wonderful Thanksgiving Get Away

We had a wonderful visit for Thanksgiving 2024. My family enjoyed relaxing by the fireplace & watching football, playing pool and making s’mores. The house is very clean and has everything you need. Check-in was easy. The owners responded quickly to my questions. We look forward to visiting again soon. The legend of Pable Esco-bear was started on this trip! 😂 Highly recommended!

Beautiful Cabin!

This is an amazing cabin! They have truly thought of everything and there were so many thoughtful touches throughout the cabin (ex. smore welcome basket, fresh flowers, stocked keurig, charging cords by beds). We loved our time here and would not hesitate to book again when we return to this area. It was just fabulous!

Beauty on the mountain

Black Bear Falls was an incredibly relaxing vacation spot. Beautiful, quiet, very homey and welcoming. Absolutely loved the waterfall sounds. Exceptionally clean. It is a wonderful vacation spot and getaway. Even though it is up on a mountain, there is so much to do within a short distance in any direction or just sit and relax in a rocking chair on the covered back porch.

Amazing Birthday Trip

The property was absolutely beautiful, even more so than the pictures. It was exceptionally clean. My daughter was having a birthday and the owners went out of their way to have balloons and a cake in the fridge for us. They also had candles and goodies in a basket for my other child as well. The kitchen was well stocked with utensils, pots, pans etc. There was even a terrific selection of coffees for the Keurig. We could not have imagined a better stay. The landscaping is phenomenal and we loved the time we spent by the waterfalls and fire pit. Would highly recommend and look forward to staying again next time in the area!

Fun mountain home away from home

We spent a week in this nice mountain cabin with all the comforts of home. The view from the back balcony is amazing, and it overlooks the waterfalls and fire pit in the back yard. We built fires and made s'mores, enjoyed the landscape lighting along the path, and just got to hang out in the mountain air. The downstairs game room was lots of fun with its pool table and board games. Our son loved having his own floor up top. We couldn't ask for better accomodations for the trip. Thank you!

Holiday relaxation in a beautiful mountain cabin

My family and I had a wonderful time on Apple Creek Acres for the Christmas holiday. The cabin is wonderfully appointed, comfortably suiting all 8 of us (4 grandparents, my wife and I and our 10 y.o. daughters). The kitchen and grill area were perfect for all meal prep needs. The backyard area (waterfall / fire pit) were wonderful for evening hangouts. We had a great time!

About the host

Hosted by Perry Buroughs

Host profile image
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.
