What do you supply?
You bring your own food and drinks, and we supply most of the rest including:
Towels/Bed Linens
Pots/Pans/Dishes
Silverware/Utensils
Coffee Maker
Microwave
Firewood**
**Firewood is available for sale at $5/bundle (like you get at Home Depot or the grocery store). We use the "honor system"; please leave cash or check on the counter for the amount of wood used.
Do I need 4-wheel drive?
Definitely not at Bear Creek Cabins, but we highly recommend AWD/4WD for Wondertree. While the mountain road leading to the cabins is winding and steep at times, the county does a great job of maintaining it during snow storms. The driveway to the cabins is paved on the steep section and then turns to gravel before getting to the cabins. Ice melt is provided in case the paved driveway gets icy.
None of our cabins have Internet, and Bear Creek Cabins do not have any cell service either. Wondertree does have strong cell service. We know that the thought of no Internet or cell service makes you tremble in your hiking boots, but you will absolutely love it. Each cabin at BCC has a regular old landline and phone (remember those?) so that you and your family can keep in touch while you truly, deeply relax.
Do you have cell service? Internet?
Is there heat and air conditioning?
Each cabin has on-demand heat, and each cabin has air conditioning. At 3,000 ft elevation, even in the summer we typically only reach the 70's, so most guests keep the windows open. Ceiling fans are in both cabins as well.
Do you allow pets?
No, unfortunately pets are not allowed in any of our cabins. Although we love animals, there are no exceptions to this rule.
Do you allow smoking?
No, absolutely no smoking inside the cabins. We are smoke free for many reasons including that the cabins are surrounded by a national forest that is 100% combustible.
Do you have television?
We have satellite television with over 100 channels, and each cabin has a DVD player.
Wondertree Mountain Cabin is the largest 3-bedroom cabin accommodating up to 6 adults and two kids. Creekside Cabin is a spacious 1-bedroom loft and is ideal for 2 adults (with a bonus full-size futon and couch for kids). Evergreen Cabin is the smaller 1-bedroom loft and can accommodate up to two adults in the king bed.
How many people can stay in a single cabin?
No- washers and dryers are not available at the cabins.
Are washers and dryers available?
Clyde has a Food Lion grocery store that is near the exit off of I-40 that you will take to get to the cabins. It's approximately 30 minutes from BCC and 45 minutes from Wondertree. Both Clyde and the town of Hot Springs have great restaurants and are both about 30 minutes away. Asheville has amazing restaurants with award winning chefs; downtown Asheville is approximately 45 minutes away.
The Trust General Store and Cafe is located about 10 minutes from the cabins. It has a gas station, general store, cafe and wifi.
