This retreat feels perfectly secluded, yet you won't have to venture far with downtown Waynesville close by, offering shopping, dining, and attractions you definitely don't want to miss. Plus, year-round fun is just waiting to be had with Lake Junaluska, Asheville, Biltmore Estate, and the Smoky Mountains all a scenic drive away! Waynesville Parks & Recreation is five miles from the home, and guests will love spending an afternoon at The Rose Walk, just eight miles away.
When everyone has had their fill of adventure, gather back at home base each evening and enjoy a cocktail on the screened porch overlooking the extensive woods. The balcony boasts a wonderful mountain view, perfect for catching up with old friends over a glass of evening wine. Summer cookouts will be a no-brainer with the gas grill on the deck, and everyone will have a blast gathering beside the firepit as the stars come out.

Two years in a row at this property
Quiet area, comfortable home. Only 15-20 min from town.
We rented this property for a long Thanksgiving weekend with our daughter and family and couldn’t have been happier with the home. It was very clean, had a beautiful view and the grandsons loved having the downstairs for their own space and loved the air hockey table.
We were close to downtown Waynesville and hiking trails which we all enjoyed.
We had a problem with the microwave and hot tub which Vacasa responded to promptly which impressed us a lot.
We would highly recommend this property to anyone and are planning on doing another stay there next year!

Excellent Mountain Get Away-Retreat
We loved everything about the home. Very clean and perfect set up and location for our anniversary. We could not however get the upstairs gas fireplace to turn on. We followed instructions for manual turn on and our only guess is maybe the propane was out? I emailed customer service our first night and didn’t get a resolution. This is not a complaint. It’s merely to let the property owners know.
The cabin was pretty clean. Some dishes had to be rewashed before use. Kitchen had what was needed, but in the photos and description, a drip coffee maker was featured. In its place when we arrived was a Keurig with carafe side and single side. However, no carafe was available. The fireplaces were a nice addition, as was the hot tub and air hockey table. Floors are not soundproof, so they were a little loud for guests sleeping downstairs. The drive is steep as described and there are no hiking trails nearby, but our family was there just to hangout and relax so that didn’t bother us! The town of Waynesville was super cute with some good shopping and fun places for coffee and eating. There’s a WL-mart nearby so grocery pick up before getting to cabin was easy. All in all, it was a nice place to gather.
The cabin beautiful and just as advertised. Very comfortable with everything you need. The road to get to the cabin is a little scary, especially at night. Although not in the listing of amenities, the cabin does have a hot tub. My family had a wonderful stay!
The cabin stay was good. Being the holidays we expected it to have been decorated at least some.in past we loved that and added to our joy. Certainly it was my fault for assuming. All in all a nice stay.

Bear Print Mountain Lodge
The property location was gorgeous and loved the house. The beds need to be fixed. If we had more people with us we would not have been able to stay because mattresses did not fit 2 if the beds.
Small issue with checking in but was accomodated with a late check out. Gorgeous home with all the amenities of home. Just bring your groceries😁

Relaxing getaway
We enjoyed a quiet getaway at Bear Print Mountain Lodge with our toddler. The neighborhood was peaceful and secluded while still being a quick drive from town. We really appreciated having open and covered outdoor space to get out of the quick rain showers that happen this time of year. The view was nice and would be even more spectacular as the leaves fall. The gate for the stairs was also much appreciated so we had peace of mind for our toddler’s safety on the main floor.
The kitchen could use a review to ensure it’s fully stocked - some key items were missing or low (ex: cutting board, containers with lids, enough eating utensils for the number of guests the house will sleep).
All in all it was a great spot that is well maintained and we would enjoy visiting again.

Cute Cabin
Cute little cabin. Kitchen could be a little better equipped for cooking. Sink in master bath would not drain, dryer door would not stay closed and sheets on master bed were well worn! Road was very curvy but we got used to it. But over all a nice little place.
It's a beaufiful house..very clean with very comfortable beds. Really appreciated the dishwashing and dishwasher soap, shower soap and shampoo. Unfortunately it has very very few cooking pans. The ones there are in questionable condition. No mixing or large bowls for serving. Cooking was a challenge. Nice coffee pot though . The shades are broken in the upstairs livingroom and there are no shades in the downstairs tv room so there is NO relief from the direct afternoon sun making these areas unusable for much of the day. The floors are faded upstairs so I'm thinking the shades have been broken for some time. The 2 issues are why I only gave 3 stars.
As advertised. Master ceiling fan wouldn’t come on. Called Friday night. No one called back or came out to fix. Room too hot with out it
Very nice place but disappointing that no one addressed problem with fan

Beautiful Cabin in the Mountains
When we showed up we used the given code to unlock the deadbolt which worked, but the separate door knob was locked as well. We had to wait 1.5 hours for a local property manager to come let us in with a physical key. It was annoying because when you call for help you call a call center and then they submit your request to a local manager and it just takes time for the message to get around to someone who can help you.
The local manager was very sweet and apologetic though.
The house was lovely. The kitchen had plenty of cookware. The gas fireplaces were nice to warm up by in the cooler evenings.
The hot tub was a nice addition too.
We had a lovely time exploring Waynesville’s charming shops and farmers market.
This spot is very beautiful, it’s off the beaten path enough, but accessible to Waynesville downtown and other locations great for hiking.

Comfortable and Quiet
Cabin has everything you need and the appliances are very modern. Wi-Fi was super fast. View was fantastic and the area was quiet and relaxing. Beds were comfortable and the jetted tub was very nice. The top deck with the fire pit was perfect for keeping warm and hanging out in the evenings. 5/5

Perfect Stay!
Bear Print Mountain Lodge was the perfect cabin for our western NC vacation! We found the cabin exceptionally clean and well provisioned. It was larger than we actually needed but it met all of our needs and desires for a reasonable price. The jetted tub was nice for relaxing after a day of sight seeing and hiking! There were several nice restaurants in Waynesville and although the road is definitely a windy mountain road it is in good condition and the location was well suited for our adventures. We loved our stay here!
This was the most beautiful cabin we have stayed in! It was also super clean too. We had a party of 4 adults, 2 children, and dogs. It was spacious with a gorgeous view. The cabin had everything you could possibly need. All the beds were firm but we would definitely recommend to others based on the seclusion, cleanliness, space, and overall beauty.

Communication Needs to be Better
When we arrived there was someone still working on the property. He was nice but a heads up could have taken place. When he left he forgot to return the key to the lockbox, the next day we left and locked up. Came home, opened and found no key to enter the place. Multiple calls of misinformation and passing is to several individuals we were able to get a key…several hours later. This area needs to be vastly improved.
Property is beautiful!!

Great weekend getaway!
This lodge was not only beautiful, but had plenty of room for our family to have their own space.
This house was just as described. The house was very clean! Plenty of space for 4 adults and 3 kids. Gas fire pit on deck was perfect to sit around n the evening! The road to get up to the cabin has lots of twists and turns, as do most mountain roads. Master bedroom and closet were huge! Thanks for the great stay!!
