Bears Rest - Authentic Mountain Experience

Come experience the wonders for yourself and stay with us at Bears Rest. You will love staying in this charming one bedroom, one bath cabin. It has everything you need for an authentic mountain experience!

The lodge inspired decor and the free-standing wood-burning fireplace give this home a distinct mountain feel. The kitchen is furnished with a full size refrigerator, stove top and oven. We provide the cookware and cooking utensils, as well as flatware and dinnerware. There's a microwave and coffee maker, too. All you need to bring are the groceries!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My husband and I enjoyed staying at Bear's Rest again; it's a cute little cabin. Everything was clean and it's close to Helen and Unicoi State Park. My only suggestions are that the mattress in the bedroom could stand to be replaced/updated, and it would be nice to have some curtains or blinds for privacy at the back door.
