Great spot!
Great little spot! So close to hiking, fishing, Brevard, and so much more! The property is so private and quiet. The house is adorable with plenty of space for a small family of 4. Would stay here again!

Weekend to Remember
Well, we ran into a couple issues with a bad storm upon arriving, but can’t thank the staff at White Squirrel Realty enough for their attentiveness and quick response …. The property was perfect and secluded with a quick 7 minute drive into Brevard … thank you ☺️

Very nice cabin
We had a great stay at Black Bear. There were a couple of concerns. Lights were out around porch very dark at night. The pillows were horrible in both beds. That's all the cabin was great, and cozy. Thanks
