This mountain house in Bear Lake Reserve comes exactly as described. The view from the back porch is incredible. This house fit all of our family of 4 needs from comfy bedrooms, clean bathrooms, and a kitchen w/ ample pots, pans, plates, and utensils. If you are looking for a place to relax and unwind, this place is for you and you get access to the Bear Lake Reserve amenities!!

Other than some strands of hair and minimal candy wrappers found in the kid's bunk beds, the location was extremely clean. It was a beautiful home, with an extraordinary view of the mountains from the screened in back porch. It accommodated our entire group (4 adults, a 16 yrs old, and 2 children) easily and comfortably. If you want a great getaway location, to disconnect from everything around you...or need a refuge when you see the sights in Silva, Cullowhee, Franklin, and Tuckaseegee... this is definitely the place. We loved it and thank you for having us.

Beautiful house with great views. Very comfortable and clean. As others mentioned, the road to the house is very steep with turns but we had no problem getting up. The house liaison was super friendly and responsive. Beautiful community!
