About Little Bear
Little Bear sits in The Falls — the same gated community as Falls Edge, perched at elevation above Bryson City with fully paved road access all the way to the driveway. The difference here is what you find inside and below: a newly constructed mountain-modern home with a private waterfall pooling near the fire pit, café string lights over the covered deck, a hot tub under the stars, and a lower-level game room loaded with entertainment. It’s what Dylan meant when he called it “plenty of space and entertainment.”
The main-level primary suite has a king bed, en suite bath, and walk-in closet. The upper level adds a large bedroom, full bath, open loft sleeping, and a quiet office nook — a thoughtful touch for remote workers or guests who want a reading retreat. Below, the game room opens off the hot tub deck with a big-screen TV, games galore, and a full bath attached. A bunk room completes the lower level, making Little Bear genuinely flexible for families, groups of couples, or mixed groups who want everyone together without being on top of each other.
A whole-home Generac generator keeps the lights on through any mountain weather. The private waterfall on the property is one of those details that goes from “interesting” to “unforgettable” on your first evening by the fire pit. Add the two roadside waterfalls visible on the drive up through The Falls community, and this property earns every bit of its 5-star rating.
