Lakefront Mountain Paradise — Bear Lake Reserve

Nestled in western North Carolina with the Blue Ridge Mountains as its backdrop and Bear Creek Lake as its anchor, Bear Lake Reserve offers an unhurried lifestyle with lavish experiences. Located between Asheville, North Carolina, and the southern village of Cashiers, it’s the ideal place to get away from it all.

The 2,100-acre gated community boasts miles of lake frontage, including a full-service Marina offering motorized and small craft rentals from pontoons to paddleboards. The Marina is nestled at the base of the Lake Club along The Point, a scenic outcrop with stellar mountain and lake views. The 14,000 square foot Lake Club features multiple dining options, pools, hot tubs, a fitness center, private theater, shopping at The Boutique by the Lake, and much more. Bear Lake Reserve enjoys a remarkable 9-hole/par 29 Nicklaus Design golf course equipped with a driving range and putting green, a 9-hole disc golf course, tennis and pickleball courts, as well as numerous hiking and biking trails. Guests will have access to all current amenities that owners have.

Only steps away from the Lake Club, this three-bedroom 3.5 bath lakefront home is one of the closest rentals to all the amenities and activities that Bear Lake Reserve offers. But proximity isn’t the only perk this stunning home affords; it flaunts incredible panoramic unobstructed lakefront and mountain views throughout!

Main level inside this two-story dwelling is the spacious main living area with oversized windows around every corner to showcase the breathtaking mountain and lake views. Soaring cathedral cedar ceilings shelter the dining area and the living room, which is a warm and comfortable retreat with a stone fireplace and gas logs. The kitchen sports 10’ ceilings, granite countertops, a large center island with barstools, and state-of-the-art Bosch stainless appliances with a digital gas range—everything you need to make and enjoy meals. And for coffee aficionados, the kitchen comes stocked with a Keurig coffee, cappuccino, and latte station, as well as a coffee grinder, coffee pot, and tea kettle. Enjoy your coffee or tea on the covered deck of either level of the home as you watch the sunrise over the lake in your private lakefront cottage.

The master bedroom, complete with a king-sized bed, is located on the main floor and has a private en suite bathroom with dual sinks. An additional powder room is located on this main level for your convenience.

Located on the terrace level, you will find an additional family room with 9’ ceilings and sliding glass doors that access the second deck overlooking the lake. Enjoy the convenience of this bonus space for movie nights and board game nights! You will also find two bedrooms on this level. The second bedroom has a king-size bed and a private en suite bathroom. The third bedroom is complete with a queen-size bed and a set of “rustic cabin” twin bunk beds, perfect for the littlest bears in your group. An additional full bath is located on the terrace level for your convenience.
