Bear Hug Retreat by Carolina Mornings | Gourmet Kitchen &Cozy Hot Tub🔪

Ready to feel like you're a world away from it all on your trip to Western North Carolina? Begin your journey at Bear Hug Retreat, an upscale sanctuary worthy of hosting your dream vacation. Offering privacy in a well-kept neighborhood, this meticulously designed home is a short drive from South Asheville and Hendersonville, and only a half hour's drive from the Biltmore Estate, making it the perfect spot to settle in for active travelers who will appreciate the many activities available nearby. Have a seat in a front porch rocking chair and stay a while! Bear Hug Retreat boasts a stunning architectural design that invites you to live in harmony with nature. Picture yourself at the picnic area enjoying a family dinner, indulging in a long soak in the hot tub, and sipping hot cocoa by the outdoor fireplace on the covered deck. You can do just that at Bear Hug Retreat, which offers all this and a huge fire pit area for stargazing and swapping stories. Inside, the great room features a peaked wooden ceiling, a fireplace, and a couch that's big enough for everyone to relax. If food and feasting are central to your family's activities, this Asheville vacation rental offers the opportunity to really put on a show. The gourmet, fully-equipped kitchen is adjacent to an impressive dining room that will make any meal seem like an occasion. The Bear Hug Guesthouse is a separate residence from the main house that offers all of the comforts of home for those that need a little more room to spread out. With a flat-screen TV, a fully equipped kitchen, and a private bedroom with a full bath, having a second home on the property is a real bonus for catering to the needs of large groups. With the many nearby activities, such as visiting one of Asheville's top-rated breweries, whitewater rafting down the Green River, or hiking to a stunning waterfall off the Blue Ridge Parkway, you'll be sure to create memories that will last a lifetime at Bear Hug Retreat! This Asheville vacation rental is located in Hendersonville and is approximately 33 minutes from downtown Asheville.

Awesome - loved it!
We had a great stay at this home with our family of 6. It is new, clean, and spacious. The road up is steep, but that is what you get with a home up at altitude. It was a great location for all of our Asheville activities. Would definitely stay here again!
