The Bear's Creek Retreat

At The Bear’s Creek Retreat, the rushing waters of Fightingtown Creek await you. This creek is right out back! Wade, tube, and trout fish off the dock. Being so close to the creek, you can hear the soothing sounds from any room in the cabin. The cabin is nestled in woods of over sixty Hemlock trees, on the creek bank, but only minutes from downtown Blue Ridge, apple orchards, wineries, and more. Such a wonderful place to spend for a writing retreat, remote working, romance, or with family and friends.

This former fishing camp cabin was remodeled with tons of hand-crafted touches to be luxurious, inspired, happy and cozy. The Maple front door and all interior doors were hand-made right in the driveway. The cathedral tongue and groove ceilings in two bedrooms were hand cut in choice pieces of wood. All closets include custom wood shelving for ample clothing and accessories storage. Maple, Walnut and Poplar furniture throughout the cabin were designed and made by a local woodworker. And, each room features carefully selected and unique art and décor, including over sixty-five black bear-themed pieces in total!

From the comfortable living spaces to the immaculate kitchen (stocked with everything you need), The Bear’s Creek Retreat is truly a home away from home. Remote-work or write that novel at the desk or in other nooks with the creek as your muse.  Settle into the cushy couch to read the bear-themed books, watch a selection from the DVD library or stream, or cozy-up in front of the fireplace. Take it easy on multiple decks, the picnic table, or porch swing. Or head outside to make S’mores at the fire pit or soak in the hot tub.
  
The three bedrooms and three bathrooms are hand-crafted beauties. 

The master bedroom is grand enough for royalty. The majestic live-edge Walnut headboard dominates the room. Custom Walnut nightstands and a live-edge bench also accompany the King-sized bed. Access the main deck and the creek through French doors or stay inside to enjoy a snuggly sitting area. The ‘Singing Happy Blues’ spa-like bathroom has a custom vanity with two gorgeous natural stone sinks. The Mountain Laurel twig accents were cut from the trees out back. The extra-large shower features a rain shower and wow-worthy blue tile. 

The second bedroom has a Queen-sized bed. This room’s beauty lies in the closet’s large barn door, custom-made Rainbow Poplar headboard, and dramatic over-sized bear wall painting. The ensuite ‘Baby Bears’ bathroom is serene with its ‘S’ shaped live-edge vanity and shower/tub with soft wood-themed tile. 

The third bedroom has a Full-sized log-framed futon, custom live edged Maple table, and private access to the main deck. A skylight provides additional natural lighting for the work/writing space. The ensuite ‘River Rock’ bathroom (that can share access to the living room, if desired) has the full-sized washer/dryer and tile shower themed in color and style to match the creek out back.

The Bear’s Creek Retreat is a great place to unwind after your day of fun in the region. Or, with so many lovely amenities, you may not want to leave.
