    Dog-friend mtn home near pond with private hot tub, fireplace, decks, & firepit



    The Space:

    Find nothing but peace, quiet, and comfort at this lovely mountain-top cabin in the woods! This exquisite home represents the best of mountain living. You are located on 1.84 acres of mountain land in Tobacco Branch Village. This lovely community offers a covered picnic shelter plus a fishing pond where you can cast your line and try your luck! Don't forget to check out the area and all the amazing fun to be had. Bryson City is 16 miles away and Cherokee is 24.6 miles away.



    The NOC is right down the road for whitewater rafting, zip lining, bike and hiking trails, shopping, and dining. The famous Fontana Dam is a must-see and only within 18 miles away, with three boating ramps within minutes for access to the lake itself. You are also close with easy access to jump on the Blue Ridge Parkway with endless trails and waterfalls along the way. Enjoy the two large decks as you sip your morning coffee or evening cocktails while taking in the majestic mountains and nearby lake around you. The bubbly hot tub offers the ultimate relaxation spot - treat yourself to a soothing bath after a thrilling day exploring the area.



    Or you might as well gather around the firepit for some storytelling with your group. Inside, the wood-burning fireplace in the living room will make sure to keep you all nice and toasty during your stay. Curl up near the fire and stream your favorite series on the smart TV. The kitchen will have everything you need to create your favorite meals, or sizzle up some deliciousness on the grill and dine alfresco.



    Decide who is going to do the dishes by playing foosball matches. The basement is 504-square-foot and is a great place to unwind and play games.

Quick weekend getaway

We had a quick weekend getaway at the cabin. Cabin was nice. I was surprised by the road to the cabin it was very steep and gravel but we'll maintained. The cabin was great my kids loved the air hockey and pool table. The view was amazing. Would stay here again.

Short but sweet stay!

We had a long weekend planned with just a two nights stay at this property. Two nights was NOT long enough! We could’ve stayed a week! This is such a beautiful home in a peaceful location! Loved drinking our coffee on the back deck overlooking the trees and mountains! Our son enjoyed fishing in the nearby neighborhood pond and playing in the game room in the evening. The only thing that would have made this trip more perfect is if we could’ve stayed longer!

Peaceful hideaway

Greatly secluded home in a very remote of the grid location. I do not recommend driving in at night for the first time. You will get lost. The home itself, beautiful inside and out. Love the cabin feel and the fireplace. I will come back again. They do need to upgrade the WiFi and put televisions in the bedrooms. Basement had a foosball table and pool table but TV would not work correctly to watch it.

fun game basement

Fun game basement for all ages. Cabin is old but very clean. No dishwasher so bring paper plates or extra dish soap if staying more than two days. Hot tub not working first day. Vacasa quick to respond and working the next day. Beautiful mountain view. Very hard bunk beds to sleep on. The theramstats are Eco and very difficult to regulate. Never did figure them out. The management Vacasa was great. On the rental of cabin you pay a fee to them and VRBO.

Nice home but it feels sketchy driving up the road to get there. Take the 2nd access road it’s a bit easier.

Gorgeous mountain cabin

The cabin was very spacious and clean. I love how things were labeled in the kitchen cabinets and drawers, it made things very accessible. The bedrooms were spacious and had plenty of closet space. The basement gameroom will keep the kids occupied. I would definitely recommend Brother Bear Hollow and we would stay again.

Liked: Check-in, communication, location
The cabin was laid out nicely. The neighborhood was peaceful. The only complaints I have is the hot tub was unusable due to the lid being broken and too heavy to lift due to water logging, the cleanliness was great on the surface but each bed had food and bottles under them and the kitchen trashcan had molded cookies and old food in it along with molded coffee grounds in the coffee pot. The large trashcan outside was half full of loose garbage from previous renters which made me nervous that I would be accused of leaving loose trash in the can. Despite that, I thought the cabin was lovely and added to my vacation experience.
