What a peaceful and beautiful place to stay. This is just the place to rest and relax. So close to everything. Within walking distance to the lake and downtown. Loved the jacuzzi and firepit. If you want a place for R&R this is the place. Clean and comfortable! Great communication and price.

We had the best time staying at Happy Bear! It was my husband's birthday and we booked this cabin. We had some family to come and cookout during the day and everyone had the best time. It was just so relaxing and peaceful. The great room, front porch and large deck were so accommodating for entertaining. We have stayed at the cabin several times and we love it. We even got to see a young bear walking by the cabin!

The property is like new and well maintained with everything a person needs. We enjoyed the jacuzzi and the fire pit and it was the private quiet get away that we really needed. Very simple instructions for entering and leaving the property.

We had a lovely time at the Happy Bear over NYE! The house is neat, clean and equipped with almost everything you need, and the hot tub was definitely a great bonus for the trip! Location-wise, it is close to Chimney Rock State Park, the little town of Chimney Rock (with restaurants and little shops!), coffee shops and a grocery store. Perfect of you're looking for a trip to do some exploring and unwinding!
