Off Highway 28 just a few minutes from the Almond Boat dock on Fontana Lake or the Tsali recreation center,15 minutes from white water rafting on the Nantahala river, about 25 minutes from Bryson City and 35 minutes from Cherokee. Black Bear Pond log cabin is located in a gated community with paved roads. The drive way to the cabin from the main road is paved.

Black Bear Pond is a two story log cabin with both a lower and upper large wrap around decks. The lower deck is gated so most pets can experience the fresh mountain air with you. ( Never leave any pet unattended.) The lower deck is shaded, cool and scented by the trees surrounding the property. Around to the back of the cabin an other gate opens to a small back yard secluded by trees and the mountain side. In the back yard evenings are made special by the glow of a fire in the large fire pit with custom hand carved benches. The upper deck is reached only from with in the cabin. The upper deck also wraps completely around the cabin. The back of the deck is also shielded from view by the trees surrounding the cabin. Here evenings become romantic when the stars fill the sky above the warm waters of a private hot tub.

The front door slides open to enter into the dining area where the table is positioned to take advantage of views of the natural surroundings through the sliding door and windows. To the right is a full kitchen with all cooking and dining utensils needed to prepare a romantic dinner. Straight ahead past the dining area, stairs lead up to the upper level master suite. Past the stairs and to the right is a romantically cozy living room. The romantic ambiance is created by the combination of comfortable leather seating in front of a large stone gas log fireplace and warm natural colors of real wood walls. A flat screen satellite TV is above the fireplace and is perfect for cuddling in front of on a quiet night. A half bath is also accessed from the living room.

At the top of the stairs from the lower level is the master suite level. To the right is the popular master bedroom with a comfortable king size bed and a flat screen TV mounted on the wall for finishing the movie you started in the living room. Sliding glass doors allow access to the wrap around deck and a great place to relax and listen to the native birds playing in the trees surrounding the cabin. The whole upper level has log beamed cathedral ceiling and large windows of natural light giving it a spacious feeling. To the left of the stairway is the large master bath. The shower in the master bath is large enough for two. The door in the bath leads out to the back side of the wrap around deck, giving easy private access to the out door hot tub.

We understand that accidents do happen after all we are all human. Though as unintentional as accidents are, there is a cost to rectify their results. We believe the Limited Damage Waiver is the most practical method for both our Guest and Property Owners alike to provide for those expenses.
  • Pruchase Limited Damage Waiver (LDW) is a one-time non-refundable fee waiving your financial responsibility for up to $1,000 of accidental, unintentional damage. The amount of the fee is specific to each property.

Security deposit will be refunded once the property has been fully inspected upon guest’s departure and cleared of all damages. North Carolina Law allows 30 days from departure date to inspect for damages and billed to Guest’s account. If damages exceed the Security Deposit amount, tenant will be responsible for the entire amount and the remaining cost will be charged to the tenant’s card on file. Carolina Mountain Vacations will refund security deposit (minus before mentioned expenses if necessary) within 45 days of tenant departure in accordance with NC law.

 Policies for Carolina Mountain Vacations Pet-Friendly Cabins
Guests will be required to sign the CMV Pet Policy at Check-In.

There are potential consequences for bringing an unauthorized pet onto any CMV property.

 

1.  For pet friendly cabins, there is a one time $45 non-refundable pet fee for each pet up to a max of 3 pets.  Any misrepresentation regarding the number of pets at the cabin will be charged accordingly.

2.  Pets are only permitted with prior approval.  Be sure to notify us if you are bringing a dog to one of our pet-friendly cabins. If prior approval has not been authorized and there is evidence of a pet having been at the property, the penalty may include a $200 charge, immediate removal of the pet and eviction from the cabin with the forfeiture of all rental payments.

3.  CMV only accepts well-behaved, housebroken dogs into our pet friendly cabins.  Even though we love all pets, we regret that we are unable to allow any animals other than dogs in our rental cabins.  Absolutely no cats are permitted in CMV rental cabins.  For the purpose of this agreement, the term “pet” is always used in reference to a dog. In the interest of protection your dog, a leash should always be used when your dog is outside.  While North Carolina does not have a state leash law, please note that cities and counties may have stricter regulations.  No dog shall be tied outside the Cabin unless supervised by a responsible adult

4.  As a general rule, dogs should not be left unattended in cabins.  In an unfamiliar environment dogs may act uncharacteristically and unpredictably.  They may get nervous and bark, causing a disturbance to neighbors.  Or they may harm the cabin by chewing, scratching or making messes that they would not typically make at home.  Please remember to be respectful of nearby neighbors.  Always use a crate in the rare event that a dog must be left alone.

5.  Legal Disclaimer:  Any damages to the cabin or cabin property or another person because of a pet will be the sole responsibility of the registered Guest.  Guests are held financially responsible for all physical damages to the Cabin (i.e. chewing, scratching, flea infestation, etc.) inflicted on the Cabin by the presence of a pet.  If extra cleaning is deemed reasonable due to the presence of a pet (i.e. soiled furniture and/or flooring, hair on furnishings or bedding, fleas), the Guest will be held financially responsible and the credit card on file will be charged for the amount of the repair/recovery.  CMV is not responsible for harm caused to any pet.
