This is a perfect getaway location. We enjoyed the privacy and the location is near Boone, Blowing Rock and Grandfather Mountain. Quiet & apartment is perfect. Kitchen had premier cooking utensils, pans, and I loved the extra care with coffee or tea and dishes. Excellent one room for a couple. Walking up to the garden house called Mole Hill is an extra perk. We loved Badger’s Den and the theme from Wind in the Willows!

Amazing retreat

Driving up to the Beavers Den was so beautiful and when we walked up the stairs and opened the door, we were blown away by our first impression. Adorable, quirky, cozy. We were blessed by the pastries, coffees, and having the comfy furniture inside and out. The walk to mole hill was a treat and we spent time on the porch of the summer house enjoying the views Loved it. Will book again!

Gorgeous view from the Badgers Den

Most of the places we’ve stayed in around Boone have been great. The owners of the Badger’s Den had little touches though that made it more special. There were local pastries awaiting our arrival, the fridge was stocked with waters and sodas and the towels were the thickest, fluffiest I’ve ever used! Communication was clear and immediate and we appreciated our hosts being so helpful!

Nothing short of spectacular!!

We had the most amazing stay at Badger’s Den!! The hosts provided a clean, cozy “cottage” complete with little details of whimsy throughout the space (plus a couple of delectable pastries from a local bakery ). Very reasonable pricing for everything included with the space. We will absolutely be coming back!!
