The 2,100 acres of Bear Lake Reserve® have been masterfully planned to create a Western North Carolina vacation home community where you and your family can not only connect with Mother Nature, but also re-connect with one another.

So, why is it that people feel more at home here than, well, at home? Maybe it’s the sheer anticipation of an impromptu morning stroll on the miles of wooded trails. Or the prospect of hitting the links at the Bear Lake Golf Club by Nicklaus Design® -- with its breathtaking 80-mile panoramic views. There’s also the private Lake Club, lakefront pool, Lure Restaurant and tavern. Of course, there’s always the option of doing nothing at all.
