We have stayed at Bear Rest several times and it never disappoints. It's very secluded and a beautiful property worth the trip. From the kitchen, pool table, huge deck w/hot tub and open floor plan we always love to stay here. Staff at Leatherwood is always accommodating and friendly. If you are a horse lover or not you will not be disappointed. Highly Recommend Bear Rest!

Great stay at Bear Rest
by Vicki R.
Our family of 6 (2 parents and 4 young adults) enjoyed our stay. We have rented at Leatherwood several times, and all have been enjoyed. This was the first time renting a "pet friendly" home. It even has a "doggie bathtub/shower"! It had the very basic amenities, but you must bring soap, salt/pepper, sugar, aluminum foil, etc. It did have a hair dryer in the bathroom. Although it was too cold to enjoy the lovely deck, we enjoyed gas fireplace, the pool table, ping pong table, movies, and trail rides. The only disadvantage is it is quite a ways from the barns. It is a great home for a quiet, relaxing stay in a beautiful setting.

We spent 5 days with my family at Bear Rest. We never imagined it was going to be so peaceful and relaxing. We really needed this time. The house is beautiful, comfortable and spacious. The views are amazing and it feels that you are alone in the middle of the forest. We didn't get to enjoy any of the amenities because they were all closed but it looked like everything was well maintained. I would highly recommend this place!

Great location for a getaway
by Amanda T.
This is the perfect place to get away. Total privacy and the cabin was perfectly described. The only downside was the hot tub. It smelled like mildew. I think it was because they don’t have the appropriate cover on it. However, the view is absolutely beautiful and serene. We went fishing and everyone on staff was kind and helpful. The house must have had great pest control because we had no issue with bugs, including mosquitoes.
The kitchen was full of good pots/pans/utensils. Bring any spices and a good knife. The grill worked well and they had plenty of propane. They had extra blankets and pillows as well. There are tons of DVDs to choose from and the WiFi was very fast. They even provide satellite tv.
We will absolutely stay here again.

Great cabin, great location, super clean place.
by Luis A.
My family and me stayed at this house fourth of July weekend of 2020. The check in and check out process was seamless, and painless. The house was incredibly clean. The location is excellent, super tucked away, and peaceful. There was great hiking just down the street, and the Jacuzzi was great to soothe muscles after the hikes. This place is the real deal and we will be back.
Thank you so very much for your feedback..... We hope to see you again soon!

Enjoyed being able to get away out of cell phone range to escape from work and what a beautiful setting to do so! Enjoyed hiking, biking and just relaxing in a safe environment with friends. Loved the amenities! My husband and I usually visit Leatherwood once a year for our anniversary and we are never disappointed.

Great location and view!!! This property is about 4 miles into the development, so about a 15 minute drive. No other homes in sight, which was refreshing.
Not anyone's fault, but the stink bugs are everywhere. We were warned about them, but keep that in mind... they DO get inside. Some of the furniture seemed a bit old.
Gas fireplace was awesome, but mainly for aesthetics, not heat. Pool table and ping pong as well as bow flex. The hot tub was awesome!!! Sitting in it at night while gazing at millions of stars was a highlight.
Would definitely stay here again...

Beautiful location and lovely house!
by Margaret H.
This house is in an absolutely beautiful spot with amazing views! The house was lovely. We enjoyed the gas fireplace, pool table, nearby hiking trails, and hot tub. The TV is not a smart TV (can't connect to Netflix, Hulu, etc), but there is a large collection of DVDs and VHS, which we enjoyed picking from every evening! Overall we had a good stay and would go back in the future.
Things we noted:
1) Kitchen is generally well equipped, but not a good chopping knife. If you plan to cook a lot during your stay, it may be worth it to bring one (I would have, had I known).
2) The hot tub was HUGE and a lovely feature, but it definitely could use a deep clean. Perhaps fulling draining , cleaning, and refilling? The water was not the clearest and there was a filmy layer you could feel inside of the hot tub. Nothing that kept us from using it, just needed to shower well after use.
3) Having hiking trails we could just walk to from the house was great! But we found that while the trailheads (and where different trails meet) were well marked, the trails themselves were not. And one of the trails that we were on was not well maintained throughout (at one point we thought we were off it because we were so close to another house and the path was not clear).
4) Location is remote. This was lovely! But just a note to make sure you bring all essentials, because if you end up needing anything, you will have to drive a ways to get it. From the entrance of the resort area to the house is about a 15 minute drive on windy roads.
Thank you for your feedback and review. We hope to see you again soon!

Fun getaway
by Cindy P.
The property was just as described. We had a great time. The grandkids loved the pool table, ping pong table and hiking. They were also able to do virtual school. The views are fantastic. I want to return in the summer and fall. Some of the furniture needs updating ( like the basement futon). Needed at least one larger sauce pan. The management was super responsive to any request for help. We will be back. ( we did not have cell service, but internet was good.)

This was a birthday gift for my husband and it couldn’t have been more perfect. The weather was cool but great hiking weather. We loved hiking the trailing and wished we could have extended our stay a few more days, however the cabin was already rented. The VIEW was amazing, and we really enjoyed the hot tub. A huge bonus, is that it snowed the morning we were to leave for a few hours but it was not enough snow to keep us from leaving.
