Well equipped, absolutely beautiful mountain home!

Mountain Bearadise was exactly as advertised if not better. The home was beautifully and comfortably decorated. The views were breath taking. It offered plenty of room for family members to spread out or spend lots of together time. My family looks forward to renting this home again next summer!!

Blown away!

We drove seven hours hoping to get a little break from the hustle of our daily lives. When we drove up to the cabin the view was right off the bat Breathtakingly beautiful!! When we walked in we could not believe the cabin, or should I say the five star accommodations!! The house/cabin was extremely clean and everything in its place. The rooms are very big and EVERY room has the most stunning views one could imagine. The house/cabin has everything we needed from cooking, washer/dryer, three fireplaces, and sooo much more! The outdoor deck has three different areas to relax and take in the views. We sat outside in the afternoon and looked over the best Mountain View’s you could imagine. The area has so much to do and so many hiking area we went on. When I said we were hoping to get “little break” to relax, we got beyond a little break…. We decompressed beyond all of our expectations. The vibe of the house/cabin itself was so refreshing and relaxing. Our week at the amazing big, clean, well decorated, well stocked house/cabin is what everyone should experience at least twice a year or more. We are already looking at our next stay.Pam and Bruce know how to treat their guest. Thank you Pam and Bruce for sharing your house with us!!The Wurstner's

Wonderful Getaway

If I could rate Mountain Bearadise 10 stars, I would! This cabin is PERFECT for any sized gathering. The cabin is decorated adorably, but with a touch of personalization that really makes it feel like home. The beds are incredibly comfortable, the kitchen perfectly stocked for ANYTHING you'd need, and the views are outstanding. Pam Watt is the most amazing host you could ever ask for - her genuine hospitality truly has you feeling like a guest visiting her home!This was our second trip to this perfect location and we will be back many more times! Can't recommend highly enough!

This property is not only beautiful, it is fully stocked to cook for a large amount of people. My kids are vegan so I had to cook in 2 styles at the same time. The grill worked perfectly. We all love this property!

Fabulous vacation rental

We spent six nights and seven days with our family of 12 at Mountain Bearadise. The house had everything we needed and all of the social gathering spaces provided plenty of room for all ages to relax and enjoy. We got to watch the mother bear and her two cubs from the second floor deck and even spotted a white squirrel. Our grandkids favorite was that we were so close to Miller fFalls where we went just about every evening! We hope to be able to come back again next summer.

Summer getaway

A lot of space for a family get together, play games and eat food! Lots of waterfalls to visits and small towns not too far away. We did get to see a mama bear and her cubs.

Excellent Property

Pretty much everything about the house and its amenities were outstanding. Excellent neighborhood and the houses are on large lots so you can't really see the other houses. The homeowner has done an excellent job of outfitting the property--the kitchen is stocked with everything imaginable, linens and towels were great, gas fireplace and outside fireplaces were outstanding, and the tvs worked well with lots of content. The best part was the mother bear and 2 cubs which we got to watch on 2 occasions!!

Excellent Property

This property was as advertised and more. The owners have gone out of their way to make sure that the place is fully stocked with everything you need and more in the kitchen. Plenty of nice towels and linens. The propane tank for the gas grill was even full on arrival. The best part was the mother bear and 2 cubs that the owners ordered up for us. They put on quite a long show for us one day and we were fortunate to see them a second day. We would definitely rent again.

Beautiful home!

Bearadise is such a beautiful home! We take a couple’s trip to the mountains every Fall and this home was by far one of our favorites! The home felt like our own! It was well stocked with most everything that you could possibly ask for in the kitchen and throughout. Four couples had plenty of room to enjoy both social time and solitude. The multiple fireplaces sold the place! We were able to burn fires regardless of the weather. The downstairs deck provides shelter from the rain while still enjoying the fresh mountain air. The owners were very attentive to any and all questions! The location allowed us to both explore waterfalls and go into town to shop. We highly recommend it!

Highly Recommend This House

This house was perfect for our family vacation. It is in a great location that is close to Cashiers, Toxaway, and Highlands. The house is exactly like it appears in the pictures and it lives up to its name, Bearadise! We spotted a brown bear during our visit which was so neat. The home is clean and spacious, with a large amount of outdoor seating on the oversized porches. This is the perfect stay for a family vacation or for a group of friends looking for a getaway. The owner was also great to communicate with and was extremely responsive. I can't recommend this house enough! I am sure we will be back in the future.

This is a beautiful home- inside and out. The home is well stocked, comfortable with lots of room for people to spread out. We enjoyed all the fireplaces and the deck spaces. It is beautifully decorated. We also appreciated the location and the privacy that it offered. We hiked to Rainbow Falls which was a short drive away (worth the effort; gorgeous!). We visited the Blue Ridge Parkway and stopped at several overlooks. We also spent a day in Sylva and Highlands; greatly enjoyed them both. Thank you Pam and Bruce for sharing your beautiful home with us!

Perfect Paradise

We can’t recommend this beautiful home highly enough. The owners, Bruce and Pam, are so conscientious and have thought of every detail. They were also very responsive to any question, even helping us with questions about the area. We felt welcome and well cared for. The home was impeccably clean, beautifully appointed, and so very peaceful and restful. There is ample space in this home for many. We enjoyed the inside and outside fireplaces, we loved walking in the community and enjoying the woods and green spaces, and the amazing waterfalls. We loved visiting Cashiers, Highlands and even the Biltmore in Asheville. But the best thing of all was enjoying this beautiful and very special home. We are so grateful for the opportunity to have stayed there and are already looking forward to our next trip.
