About this property

A Bears Creek - Log cabin with hot tub and big yard with rushing creek, in scenic Valle Crucis!

Welcome to A Bear's Creek! Let the peace and tranquility of this mountain creekside cabin renew your soul!

The main level offers a great room with vaulted ceilings, a gas log fireplace, a large flatscreen TV set up with all the streaming services for your enjoyment as well as Spectrum Gold cable, and comfortable furnishings with room for everyone to relax. The dining table will seat 4 with room for 2 more at tall chairs at the kitchen bar. The kitchen is stocked with all the basics for cooking up a delicious meal while you're here, and offers granite counters and stainless steel appliances and a unique teal blue tile backsplash. Down the hall is a half bath, with a laundry closet across from it.

The master suite is on the main level, and here you'll find a King bed with reading lamps as well as a private ensuite bathroom with double vanities and a tiled shower. Upstairs are two more bedrooms, each with a Queen bed. Between them is a full bathroom with a shower. The large loft has a desk, ideal for those who need to work from home, as well as a Queen size sleeper sofa with inflatable mattress.

The outside space is where this home truly shines. The deck is fully gated and partially covered and offers a hot tub, gas grill, patio table, and Adirondack chairs for relaxing. The yard gently slopes down to the rushing creek, and there's a short set of stone steps leading down to the fire ring by the water. Catch crawdads, roast marshmallows, and make memories!

A Bear's Creek is nestled in the heart of Valle Crucis, just outside of Boone and minutes from the historic Mast General Store, Tweetsie Railroad, Grandfather Mountain, the Blue Ridge Parkway, Blowing Rock shopping and dining, all major ski resorts, and all other High Country attractions.

Babbling Brook

Our Florida family enjoyed our stay at this lovely cabin. The sound of the creek was wonderful, the grazing deer were fun to watch and we loved curling up in front of the gas fireplace. Property was easy to access, yet close to Sugar and Beech Mountain. We hope to visit again.

Lovely, convenient property.

Property and cabin was lovely. Creek and woods were very peaceful. Only negative is they did not have adequate lighting in the main area. We had to move lamps and buy light bulbs at a nearby store to have proper lighting. Recommend that they put in warm light bulbs instead of the cold LED throughout main floor area.

House was charming and perfectly located to Boone, Blowing Rock, and Grandfather Mountain. Check-in and check-out was real easy. Accommodations were just what we were looking for coming from stressful city life. Can’t wait to rebook next year!

Beautiful, Family Friendly Property

This was a beautiful, family friendly property. We are a family of four with a two-year-old and a four-year-old. The upstairs bedrooms were perfectly suited for the boys, and the wood blinds blocked out all light making the rooms nice and dark for naps. Noting this because I had brought travel blackout curtains and did not need them. The yard is huge, grassy and not too steep with a creek that runs right through it. My boys had a blast building campfires at the fire pit overlooking the water and splashing around the rocks. The kitchen is well appointed, we were able to cook all of our meals there without issue. The property is exceptionally clean. Location for this home is absolute high country perfection. It's a very short drive (~5 minutes) to the original Mast General Store (shopping, ice cream, the "candy barrel") as well as Valle Crucis Park which is one of the best family oriented parks in the area. The home is also close to Hwy 105 with easy access into Boone, Blowing Rock and up to Foscoe and Banner Elk. This is going to be our "forever" mountain vacation home as long as it's available!

Fantastic mtn weekend

Everything about this cabin was great. Comfy beds, great mountain feel, fabulous property where out two kiddos loved playing by the creek, easy access to main roads & Boone/ valle crucis park/ Banner Elk/ Ski mtns. Things were so great that on/off rain the whole time didn't really bother too much
