About this property

Bearfoot Retreat, Streamside Home, Pet-Friendly & only 8 minutes from Cashiers

The Bearfoot Retreat is the perfect escape from the hot, hectic city to a cool, serene setting. We furnished the huge great room with oversized leather sofas and chairs, giving it a comfortable mountain feel. Complete with a wood burning fireplace, this beautiful room opens up to an expansive wrap-around deck with seating for 12. Enjoy relaxing on the deck while listening to the tranquil sounds of the stream below. The Bearfoot Cottage sits on 1 acre of flat land - rare to find in the mountains! This allows for fun lawn sports - croquet, bocce ball, badminton or tossing a football. Complete your day enjoying the beautiful sunset on the deck.

This large but cozy mountain home has a Master bedroom on the main level with a king size bed and master bath. The main level also has a large, Hi-Def TV with a full Direct TV package and wi-fi internet. The upper level has a queen bed and full bath, with French doors and private deck overlooking the stream in the back. The lower level has a second master with a king size bed and two smaller bedrooms: one with two double beds and the other with a trundle bed. There is also a private entry way in the basement, which is especially nice for a second family or older children. Surrounded by nature’s beauty the home sleeps 10.
Enjoy the many surrounding hiking trails, golf courses or boating/kayaking on Lake Glenville.
Oh, and we're dog friendly so just let us know Lassie is coming!


The spacious and fully equipped kitchen has stainless steel appliances and granite countertops.
Grill out on the new, oversized grill or dine at one of the local restaurants. The choice is yours with the town of Cashiers only 8 minutes from home and the neighboring town of Highlands only 20 minutes west.

Just book it!
I can’t say enough about this property and its owners. The cabin is gorgeous! And honestly the first cabin that we have stayed in that allows animals that didn’t smell like dogs and have hair everywhere! It was super clean, smelled wonderful! We had Thanksgiving there and I had everything I needed to cook a wonderful dinner. Every bedroom has a bathroom, which is a huge plus! And with all the showers happening, no one was left with cold water. The property itself is gorgeous and meticulously maintained. You can truly see the love and care the owners have taken to make this cabin heavenly. The communication with the owners was better than any other VRBO that I have experienced. Incredibly accommodating, and quick to get back to you. I could go on and on, but just book it! You will have an amazing vacation!

A walk down memory lane
Cashiers was my wife's family vacation home for over 40 years. The family home has long since been sold. We took our daughters and their families to cashiers to give them a touch of their family history tied to Cashiers. The Hinson home provided us with a great place stay. A well supplied kitchen, plenty of space to meet our needs and a setting that gave us a memorable mountain expierence. We will use this place again if our travels take us back to Cashiers again.

Bearfoot Retreat
Comfy, cozy, casual, updated. Owners are making improvements to the exterior so some construction material in driveway. Most driveways in that area are difficult anyway. The small fenced yard was much appreciated by our little dogs. Be aware that internet can be sketchy. Overall, a good location between Cashiers and HIghland.

A Wonderful Cozy Cabin and Retreat
We stayed here for two weeks. Had two families one week and never felt crowded for the 10 of us. The six kids stayed downstairs. The property is very comfortable and the stream and fire pit in back are wonderful. A large family room to hang out, big deck, and comfortable bedrooms each with own air. They even had a desk I used for work some days and most days the internet sufficed for video conferences. It was well priced for the cabin comfort and feel. Felt like a cozy home. It’s not a luxury property, nor was it marketed that way and we did not expect it. Was very comfortable and the dogs had a fantastic time. A small complaint noted by others is the driveway. It’s on a road where oncoming traffic is so sometimes tricky to get out but not a huge issue. We would definitely stay again.
