As has been mentioned, one cannot rely solely on GPS or you will end up backing up on a very narrow curvy road. Instead, do this: shortly after turning onto Marina Drive, take the first gravel drive on your right. There are signs for Bear Paw and Happy Bear, though they would be difficult to detect in the dark. You will see Bear Paw quickly, but you must keep driving all the way to the end to reach Happy Bear, ignoring all the "no trespassing" signs. Also, take the "bear" names seriously and do not let children run outside unattended. We looked out the window to find a half-grown bear on our porch! (And no, we had not been eating out there nor did we bring any pets.) Made for an adventurous stay!" (10/5) - **Kim Stanforth**: "Happy Bear feels like our home away from home as we have family in Lake Lure. This beautiful cabin is convenient to so many activities and has everything we need for a pleasant, relaxing stay! We look forward to returning in the fall!" (10/5) - **MARIA FURTICK**: "Happy Bear has it all! It's a new cabin with hot tub on the porch. Beds are very comfortable. Kitchen has everything you need. Highly recommend this cabin. Can't wait to return!"
