BEARLY A VIEW

Lake Lure continues to recover from Hurricane Helene! We’re pleased to share that Bearly a View are once again welcoming guests. Thanks to dedicated contractor and volunteer efforts, access roads and essential services like power, water, and WiFi, are restored. Although the Chimney Rock area, Lake Lure beaches and waterfront are currently closed, there is so much that our beautiful foothills area has to offer. Come enjoy Bearly a View as a peaceful retreat and “home base” for visiting nearby towns and attractions. Area restaurants, including Lake Lure and Asheville are reopening. There's golf at Rumbling Bald, and area wineries, breweries, music, trails, waterfalls, and so much natural beauty within an hour's drive of Lake Lure. Tryon Equestrian Center is hosting some of the Chimney Rock businesses that suffered from the storm. Saluda, Hendersonville, Forest City, Ashville, and larger cities like Greenville, SC and Charlotte, NC are great day-trip destinations. By choosing to visit, you’re supporting the local businesses of Lake Lure, Chimney Rock and Western NC. We look forward to welcoming you!

  Brian C from Belton, South Carolina recommends this vacation rental

  We rented this spot for a board of elders retreat in September 2023, but due to a sudden illness of one of the members, we needed to reschedule. The management company was extremely accommodating in our request. The check-in instructions were very clear, and they led us to the right gate to access this gated community. We arrived to a gorgeous and spotless property. The cleaning crew did a top-notch job! Even the hot tub was perfect!
  We loved the different areas to hang out and enjoyed playing pool, using one of the three fire pits and sitting on the porch. The beds were comfortable, and the linens were new.
  Lots of nature abound. We even saw a bear at the lower part of the driveway!
  As advertised, this home does have many steps, and we had an issue with one car making it up the very steep driveway. (Dry and sunny conditions.) I would definitely recommend an SUV with 4-wheel drive. Prepare for your car to get filthy with the material used for the roads in the neighborhood. We ended up just parking a car at the entrance gate instead of at the house.
  Our only suggestion would be for the owners to tidy up the kitchen a bit. There is no storage for pantry items, and the kitchen cabinets are stuffed with odds and ends that could be pared down to make space for food so that it doesn't have to be piled on the counters.

  We have vacationed here multiple times. So well stocked with all the extras. Perfect location. Got rewarded for being loyal customers. Zero complaints and will be back next year. Probably not a plus for everyone but we saw a bear in the yard twice!

  a guest from Melbourne, Florida recommends this vacation rental

  Our 2nd time at Bearly A View. We had lots of deer visit in the morning and late afternoons! This is a semi secluded and private mountain community with lots of amenities. The house is spacious, well stocked with games and kitchen items. Each level has its own heat/AC thermostat so the house is very comfortable but we spent most of our time enjoying the screen porch. The master rainfall walk-in shower adds a nice touch of luxury. Close to several golf courses and good places to eat.

  Our family loves this cabin. It was our fourth time renting it. We even got an awesome gift from the owners for being loyal renters. Best stocked kitchen. Four separate beds and baths. Lots of space. Plus the river and lake right in the neighborhood. Planning to go back in 2024!

  Julia S from Manheim, Pennsylvania recommends this vacation rental

  We enjoyed our stay at Bearly a View very much! It was a perfect family vacation. The house has everything you need. It was clean, spacious, quiet and relaxing. The kitchen was supplied with every pot, pan or appliance you need. Our kids enjoyed the pool table, hot tub and the lake was perfect to use the paddle boards that we brought along. The property manager was very helpful when we had questions and responded immediately. The location was perfect. We spent a day at Chimney Rock and another day went to Biltmore Estate in Asheville which was 45 minutes away. We would definitely stay here again!!

  We like the proximity to several golf courses. The private beach and swimming hole within River Bend were a plus if bringing children or dogs.
  Our home was clean, well stocked...huge kitchen. The screened in porch was a plus. The master king bed is losing its support and would benefit from a new , perhaps firmer mattress. We will return to this house again. Our property manager was friendly, helpful and available.

  • Manager Responded on 6/23/2023

    Great to hear your visit was a success. Thanks for the input regarding the main bedroom mattress. We will be addressing it shortly. Feel free to contact me when you are heading in this direction in the future. We will extend a 10% returning guest discount.

  Theresa S from Port Orange, FL recommends this vacation rental

  We enjoyed our stay at “Bearly a View” a lot! Everything you need was there, it felt like your were at home between the throw blankets on the couches, to the fully stocked kitchen and linen closets. Everything was great! Just a warning about the road to the house, it’s unpaved gravel. Very steep at times and sharp turns. The driveway is a challenge. We drove our Toyota Sequoia and it struggled. Our son has a Prius and it could not get all the way up, they had to park on the lower level. The roads all around the area are the craziest, windiest roads I’ve ever been on.
  
  We rented a pontoon boat from a Lake Lure Adventures (about 10 minutes from house), highly recommend! Make a reservation they book fast. The lake is beautiful.
  
  In summary, the house is awesome and I would definitely recommend it to anyone.

  • Manager Responded on 2/12/2023

    Thanks for the great review. If you are nor used to curvy, hilly, gravel roads they can be a challenge. Overall in comparison to many properties in Lake Lure, the driveway is paved.

  Tamara B from Mount Dora, FL recommends this vacation rental

  We had a terrific time at this home. We love the North Carolina mountains and Lake lure area. The gated community was a nice touch and it was easily accessible for us. The home had everything you could need. It was very large. We used the upper floor for our sons family with two small children. The pool table and noisiest area was in the basement. That worked very well for us. The kitchen has every upgraded appliance and small appliance possible. There is nothing you need. The driveway is very steep. It was a little difficult the first time we drove up it. We learned to use low gear and it was fine.
  We had to call the management company about using the dishwasher. It was just a nicer type that we had ever seen. Once we learned how to use it, all went well.
  Highly recommend.
