Three Bears Retreat at Monteagle
Perched at over 4,000 feet in the gated community of Monteagle, this newly built mountain retreat delivers a refreshing blend of elevated comfort and modern mountain style. Completed in spring 2025, the home is thoughtfully designed with three spacious king bedrooms, an open-concept living space with soaring exposed-beam ceilings, and a stylish mix of contemporary and mid-century furnishings. A sleek kitchen with granite counters and stainless appliances invites relaxed gatherings, while a live-edge workstation ensures work-from-anywhere flexibility. Whether you're warming up by the indoor gas fireplace or curling up with a good book, every corner is designed for effortless relaxation. Step outside and discover where the real magic begins. A covered deck with a wood-burning fireplace, rockers, and a suspended daybed sets the stage for slow mornings and star-filled nights. A Breeo smokeless firepit, hot tub, and gas grill/smoker combo offer even more ways to unwind, all surrounded by cool mountain air and quiet wooded views. Just minutes from downtown Banner Elk and within easy reach of Beech Mountain, Sugar Mountain, and Boone, this home offers both a peaceful escape and access to year-round adventure. It’s a mountain getaway where every detail is curated for comfort, connection, and unforgettable moments.

Things you need to know
All properties are set up for light housekeeping, including linens and towels. We provide a starter kit of toilet paper, paper towels, dish soap, hand soap, bathroom toiletries, laundry detergent, and garbage bags. It’s enough for one or two nights, but will likely not be enough to get you through your entire stay. If you are staying for an extended length of time, you should plan to bring some supplies from home or plan to purchase these items at a grocery store when you arrive.
Homes are not stocked with cooking oils or spices, hairdryers, condiments, coffee, coffee filters, or food storage items including plastic wrap or foil. Our homes come equipped with a basic set of cookware, sufficient plates & silverware for the occupancy of the home, and basic serving and baking dishes. Most homes do not have unusual items such as crock pots or blenders, so if you’re planning a dish that requires an unusual item it is best to bring that from your home.
We provide one towel and washcloth per person that each respective house accommodates, plus a few extra towels if there is a hot tub. The beds are made up with clean linens (except bunks, sleepers, and futons, but linens are provided on-site). If you routinely use two towels after bathing, you may need to bring some of your own.
Most homes do not provide firewood on site. We are glad to offer you the opportunity to purchase firewood for $25/day to have on arrival. That price is for two bundles of firewood and one Firestarter log per day, and delivery is included. We require a week (7 days) advance notice to arrange and deliver the firewood.

Furthermore, we can't run the risk of causing damage to the property or starting a brush fire.
- Weather conditions in the mountains can be unpredictable. Sometimes rain, fog, snow, sleet, or ice create unexpected and hazardous driving conditions, especially during the colder months of November – April. Since road conditions may become hazardous during your stay, a 4-wheel drive vehicle and/or chains and the ability to drive on snow and ice are strongly recommended to get to or from any given property.
