Perfect Escape!
The Honey Bear Retreat was a perfect get away for our family. Located far enough away to feel isolated at the same time close enough to enjoy the small town of West Jefferson. The house is clean, well stocked, and beautiful inside and out. Trust Waze as there is not a street sign for the road. The hot tub is enormous, the decor perfect and the sound of the stream is calming. We have already started are planning our return trip! Thank you!!

Secluded Retreat
Great place to stay, away from the hustle of life! All the bedroom have a private bathroom, making it ideal for couples or families. Over all a great stay, however, a road sign at the entrance and a few directional signs would be FANTASTIC. FYI- The road is a gravel road from the main paved road. Stay to left until you pass the garage and then its a right all the way.
