Your getaway nestled in the heart of Reliance, Tennessee, just steps from the Hiwassee River. Whether you’re here to chase adventure or simply soak in the quiet beauty of nature, Bear Path is the perfect place to unwind, explore, and make memories.
Opening Spring 2026
We’re thrilled to welcome you...
To our special corner of Southeast Tennessee! Nestled on 70 acres of beautiful creeks and hiking trails, with the Cherokee National Forest right in our backyard, there’s plenty of nature to explore.
Our days are filled with relaxing breaks, hiking, fishing, swimming, and enjoying time with our furbabies.
We’re also having a blast building cozy Domes and Teepees. Bear Path Resort is coming along beautifully.
We can’t wait for you to experience it with us!
Miles of Peace
Miles of gentle creeks wind through the property, with hammocks waiting by the water’s edge. Bring a favorite book, or simply rest—the sweetest nap is calling.
Spa
We don’t have the frou-frou, fancy spa experience.
What we do have are creeks with mud that glitters from natural minerals, and hot tubs—some with bubbles, some without but always with a couple of simple rules: don’t drown, don’t pee!
Spa hiking here is slow and easy… the kind that lets you really soak it all in.
Rinse, Relax, Repeat
Bring everyone including your pups! When you’re ready to hit the water, we’ve got kayaks with life jackets for both people and pups—so everyone can join the fun! Our outdoor shower is perfect for everyone to rinse off after a day of adventures.
Stories being made for the campfire...
Canoeing is like a gentle journey into nature with a few exciting bits in the middle!
Just a few miles away, experience kayaking, rafting, and fishing on the Hiwassee River.
Meadow Stargazing Magic
Grab your headlamps and stroll out to the meadow. Between the dancing shadows of the trees, the soothing lull of bullfrogs, and our cozy blankets, stargazing turns into a little slice of magic. Keep your eyes peeled—shooting stars are out, ready for wishes!
