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!

Charming treetop cottage

We loved our stay. The place had everything we needed. It was cozy and a great location to downtown Blowing Rock, Just 12 minutes away. We really love the Summer Cottage and beautiful little stream nearby. The hosts were helpful, and it was a great get away.

We've stayed at many vacation homes and this is by far one of the cleanest and most comfortable homes. The host provided all the comforts of home and more. We would definitely love to visit again and recommend it to anyone who do not mind stairs.

Cozy

Wonderful time - first time to the Blue Ridge Mountains, therefore, we barely made a dent in really getting familiar with the mountain area. Location was perfect giving us easy access to main highway. A nice little getaway place and if you are not into mountain stuff, this place gives you access to both civilization and mountain stuff.

Great location in the NC mountains

Badger's Den was truly wonderful. The property is conveniently located between Boone, Blowing Rock, Banner Elk, and Grandfather Mountain. The studio apartment above the garage is simple but well equipped for a couple. The greenhouse cottage was a great place to sip coffee and read a book. We had a great time and hope to revisit Badger's Den again.

Cozy Cabin Over Garage In Mountains

My husband and I enjoyed our stay at the Badger's Den! It's an adorable cozy studio apartment cabin over the garage, with great views of Grandfather Mountain! We loved the mountain views and trees surrounding. The cabin was very clean upon arrival, and property owners purchased pasteries from a local bakery for us that were absolutely delicious! 10 out of 10.
