OUR STORY

The Bear Lake Heaven resort owners have enjoyed the beauty of western North Carolina for the past 30 years. They developed the property with the mission of building a haven for their family for generations to come. Having owned other lakefront and mountain properties in the area for decades, the owners fell in love with Bear Lake because of its exceptional mountains and pristine lake views, mimicking the natural beauty of Lake Como in Italy.

 

The owners spent several years pushing the mountain back from the shoreline to create acres of rare flat land around the lake, while at the same time developing miles of trails through the beautiful woods that feature creeks, waterfalls and exceptional natural beauty. The owners love that you can spend the day enjoying all the activities of a lake, and also immerse yourself into a magical natural forest just steps away.
