Directions- From Wears Valley Rd (aka HW 321), take Covemont Ln 1.3 miles to the stop sign, and take the sharp right on to Covemont Rd, proceed 0.3 miles to JL Myer Rd and turn left. You will see the Cabin up the hill on your left! Grinders way is your first possible left, and the Honey Bear Lodge is the first cabin with the Copper roof. Parking is on the right side of the cabin. If you use online/apple maps to get to the cabin, use 3205 Grinders way instead of 3215 and it will take you directly to Honeybear (first cabin on the street, and the only one with a copper roof)

Accessibility and Parking

The cabin has a driveway that can easily fit 2 cars and there is plenty of street parking as well. There is also room to park an RV if needed. If there is heavy snow or ice, it can make it difficult to get up the final hill coming into the neighborhood. This is very rare and requires a lot of ice on the roads. NOTE: PLEASE DO NOT PARK IN THE LAWN

Each of the 3 bedrooms has a TV with a firestick which enables you to log in to personal streaming accounts should you so choose. There is no cable in the bedrooms.

Water

Important note about water- We are on a water well. We have filtration at the well house, and additional filtration underneath the cabin. The water has been tested to insure it is clean and safe. There are very rare occasions where there can be sediment in the aquifer that can cause discoloration of the water. We recommend having bottled water for drinking JUST IN CASE this happens. If the water appears discolored during your stay please message us to let us know but rest assured the water is still perfectly clean and useable for showering and regular daily use.

Hot Tub & Porch

The porch light switches are on both sides of the exterior of the house. They are metal/ breaker style switches. The hot tub is drained and refilled between each visit, so if it is cool upon your arrival just make sure it is on and heating and it typically is hot in a couple of hours. If for any reason the power is not on to the hot tub, look at the bottom of the wall on the outside of the house near the hot tub and there is a breaker box. There is a metal “key” that has to be in place for the hot tub to be operational. If the key is not inserted, insert the key and the power will come back on.
