About this property

The Beech Mountain Black Bears Den

Behind a small gated community, this newly built, 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom custom-built home will become your favorite getaway. The Black Bears Den is located only 8 minutes from downtown Banner Elk and 15 minutes from two ski resorts. The open concept will allow families to enjoy each other's company while taking in the views around the fireplace. Enjoy the fresh mountain air while soaking in the hot tub or while roasting marshmallows around the gas burning fire pit.
The space:
This home was built with guest comfort in mind. Make yourself a home cooked meal in our fully equipped kitchen. There are two dining areas with seating for 10 guests, with an additional four stools at the custom built kitchen island. Off the kitchen is bedroom #1, the master bedroom has a king bed, walk-in closet and a large master bath with a free standing tub. Bedroom #2 is also located on the main floor. This cozy guest bedroom comes with a queen and Jack-N-Jill bathroom. You will find the laundry room on the main floor as well. The back deck is accessed from the living room and master, and features a covered outdoor dining, grill, seating area and fire pit.

The downstairs den provides a second living area where guests can spread out. Warm up by the fireplace, enjoy a drink from the bar and play some pool. Step out on the lower level deck and relax in the adirondack chairs or the hot tub. This floor you will find bedroom #3 with a queen bed and Jack-N-Jill bathroom. Bedroom #4 is the bunk room with two sets of twin bunk beds and access to the shared bathroom. All living rooms and bedrooms (except the bunk room) have smart TVs.
Guest access:
The whole house is yours to use! During the snowy days take a slide ride down the driveway with our two slides located in the garage.
Other things to note:
The Black Bears Den provides WiFi, central air conditioning and heating. The smart TVs are set up for guests to log into their own streaming accounts. Pets are not allowed at this home. Please note that there are 2 exterior security cameras. There is a paved driveway with parking for 4 vehicles in addition to the garage where guests can park two cars.

The most magical place!

Our stay was absolutely amazing! The location is perfect with breathtaking views! Monica was hands down the best host we have ever had, she kept us updated with everything we needed to know before and during the trip. The house had all the essentials you needed including baby gear if you have a little one! I have already recommended this place to other family and friends and we already plan on staying here in the future! Amenities were great as well and the house was very clean and felt like home!

Amazing views, amazing home, amazing host!!

The pics do not do this place justice! The views are amazing, the house is amazing, and the owners are so beyond amazing! From the beginning of this experience it has been top notch in responding to all of my fifty million questions, and then once we arrived the care and concern to make sure everything was up to par made us feel like we were truly at a home away from home. We will definitely be back to this amazing home with such an amazing host!

Beautiful Home

We absolutely loved our stay! The house was so clean and beautifully decorated. The owner had all of the basics available (paper towels, dish soap, trash bags, etc). The location and the Mountain View’s are spectacular! Amazing home!

About the host

Hosted by Monica Thomas

Host profile image
We live full time in South Florida with our two sons. We chose to put our second home on the rental market to share it with others. It’s a place where great memories can be made.

Why they chose this property

We came upon this neighborhood in 2019 and bought 3 lots. This is the second home we built in the neighborhood with a third currently being built. It’s a great location with beautiful views, quiet and safe behind the gates.

What makes this property unique

It’s a new construction with an updated look, super comfortable for guest. As a host I make sure the house is fully stocked with supplies and many baby/toddler items.
