Not all who wander are lost, welcome to Wandering Bear!
This cozy lower-level apartment will be an escape from the mundane! You will love the seclusion on this 4.5 acre retreat. Walk-in through your separate entrance to this well-appointed 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom apartment. The living room has a TV with roku for your streaming entertainment (no cable). The Kitchen is well equipped with everything that you will need to prepare your meals. We also have a propane grill for a cook-out. The main bedroom has a luxurious King-sized bed and a twin bunk bed. The second bedroom has a Queen-sized bed. The large bathroom has a spa-like walk-in shower. Enjoy a cup of coffee watching the sunrise over the mountains on the patio. This Green-built home has solar hot water and solar electricity. In the evenings savor a glass of wine by the propane fire-pit as you watch the lightning bugs dance! Only 12 minutes to Downtown Black Mountain, 25-30 minutes to Downtown Asheville, 25 minutes to Chimney Rock.
We look forward to hosting you!
Special Notes: To access the property you will have to drive a little over a mile on a dirt/gravel road. You do not need 4WD, it is not steep.

This property is absolutely amazing. I saw reviews from others about the road leading you to the house but it is what is to be expected for a property with the amazing views that this one has. The kitchen has everything you need as well as some extras that I didn’t expect. Coffee pods, snacks, water bottles in the fridge. The hot tub is huge and just perfect. If you’re looking for pure serenity this place has an abundance of it. We are already looking at dates to book again. We have rented properties all over Western NC and this is by far my favorite.

The home was very cozy and decorated for Christmas! The home is very updated and nice! The walking paths nearby were just long enough. Would definitely stay here again!

Great little spot, with good views, clean, and management company was very communicative.

We had a great stay at the Wandering Bear. While the road coming in isn’t for the faint of heart, and we were happy to say we never met an oncoming vehicle, once we arrived at the house, it was very well worth it. This was easily the most well stocked unit we have ever rented, from the kitchen to the bathroom, everything was very well thought out. There was no lack of utensils or kitchen needs, they even supplied cute disposable coffee cups (along with a multitude of coffees, teas, and creamers). If you’re traveling with littles, there was a pack’n play, high chair, and booster seat, along with many games, and some outdoor toys.The hot tub was in excellent condition, very clean and well kept, as well as the fire pit. I will say the trees have grown up a bit and block a little of the views but not enough to dock the ratings and I also don’t know how they would even manage to trim them with the slope of the mountain.The host was very accessible through text, and even gave us a heads up before check-in of some issues with the microwave, offering to bring in a replacement if needed. Cute decor, cute setup, we would definitely come back to the Wandering Bear as well as recommend it to others.
