We stayed at Bear Valley and they had everything you need to enjoy your stay. Very close to Boone yet away from any traffic. Very tranquil. We used the hot tub, played pool, ping pong and corn hole. We will defiantly be back!
Great space for our family, loved the location, and had a wonderful stay! We had plenty of room for our family of 4 (including two teenagers). We were doing a college visit for our oldest, and this home was a great home base. Loved the view and all the amenities!
Private, quiet location convenient to all of high country
My four kids, parents, partner and I stayed here for a weekend. It feels remote and private and has an incredible view. However itâs such a short drive to Valle Crucis, Boone and grandfather mountain. The hot tub was super clean and the beds were very comfy. Nice large kitchen too!
My family and old dog enjoyed the cabin very much. The best part of our vacation was a family ping pong tournament downstairs. The cabin was exactly as advertised. It would have been great if the next cabin was further away but the view was amazing and the property had everything I needed. Would definitely stay again.
Very nice âcabinâ. Enjoyed the view. There for a wedding so not much free time. Clean and spacious. Jacuzzi hadnât been used much apparently - some kind of dead bugs came shooting out from spouts. Not pleasant!
The beginning of our trip was good. Heating in the house was ok. Some rooms stayed chilly (master bedroom/bath), some very warm (basement bedroom) However, during the snow storm we woke up to no water midway through our stay. Had to finish the trip at the Marriott in Boone. Due to snow needed a tow truck to pull us up the driveway. Would not recommend this house in winter months, but other seasons I am sure are beautiful. Location and neighborhood are beautiful, but very, very difficult in winter conditions.
Our stay was great until the second day this moldy smell came from downstairs. It was very breathtaking, we are concerned about it and would like to inform the homeowner of this. My husband is a general contractor who is certified in mold remediation, he wanted to express his concern. Some of our family experienced breathing issues, and cold-like symptoms from the mold, not good!!!!
We stayed here for a week in the spring to visit Appalachian State and the Boone area. To anyone considering staying here my advice to to carefully review all the fees before you book. That being said - this is a beautiful cabin and it has everything you might need for a stay in the mountains. Itâs fairly close to other cabins (so not at all secluded) and there isnât a lot of open space outside. There were issues with the hot tub when we first arrived. The tub had not been cleaned prior to our arrival so the filters were clogged and the whole thing had to be drained and refilled. They charge a cleaning fee for the hot tub as part of the regular fees but itâs clear that it had not been cleaned after the last occupants. Nevertheless Carolina cabins was very responsive and took care of this. There were a few broken outdoor chairs and the master bed needed to be repaired and the master tub was dusty and dirty. Other than that we really had no complaints. Whomever decorated the home did a beautiful job. Boone and the surrounding are wonderful. You will enjoy your stay.
The photos don't do this property justice. The house is a beautiful log house with three stories of bedrooms and bathrooms. The house is designed so you don't realize there are any other homes around.The house is located conveniently to Boone and the Banner/Elk area. When we communicated with the property managers they quickly and courteously responded.I strongly recommend this property for anyone visiting the area.
I stayed at the cabin for a week with family including a 6 year old. The cabin was big enough for us and the location was awesome. The views from the cabin were spectacular and to my surprise there were games for my kid. In overall it was an awesome experience. I would recommend it. We had a rainy day and there were things to doâŠwe play pool, even thought it was rainy we still went into the jacuzzi. There was plenty of stuff to keep us busy. This cabin is one of the best places I stayed and they supply you with everythingâŠlove the placeâŠwill definitely return in the near future
The property has everything you need for a great weekend.. The kitchen is well stocked.. Plenty to do from sitting on the porch, chillin in the hot tub or playing pool and ping pong⊠I would highly recommend..
We were really pleased with this property! It was very quiet and private, had amazing views from the deck and living room/kitchen area, and felt remote while still being very convenient to Valle Crucis, Banner Elk and Boone.
I was super impressed by the cleanliness of the property. I didnât even find any dust! One thing I would note is that I wished weâd had some cleaning products to clean up after ourselves, so I recommend bringing some if that is important to you.
The house was extremely quiet from room to room, allowing for a family to stay there and still enjoy some privacy. It is so well built that we could forget there was a windstorm going on outside and stay cozy inside!
Highly recommend!
We picked this location to meet up with family and take our kids to tweetsie railroad and see other local attractions. This cabin was an excellent location. It was clean, comfortable and kid friendly. We enjoyed the porch mountain views and had an excellent time.
We stayed here for 5 nights and were impressed with everything in general. Great location, very well thought out cottage with respect to amenities and comfy furniture. Made you feel like you were at home. We got a lot of use out of the pool table but only wished it were in a bigger room as many angles had to be taken with a miniature cue because the walls are too tight. That aside, the cottage was great and we would return again!
