Thank you very much for the wonderful review. We hope to have you back again in the future!!
We felt we were on the edge of the earth. This charming and very clean home had everything we needed for a peaceful get-a-away. The hot tub, porches, and Indonesian day bed helped us to fully enjoy nature's beauty.

Thank you so much the review and ratings. We look forward to have you back in the future!
This was our 2nd time visiting this beautiful location. The owner is wonderful to work with and responds very quickly to any questions/concerns. Pictures are very accurate and house is well cared for. Was a little slice of heaven. Steve, Tammy and Zoey
The location and views made this stay exceptional. The cabin faces the western sky, so the sunsets were like art. Absolutely beautiful. The weather was perfect and comfortable, especially after such a hot summer. The cabin is remote which is exactly what we wanted. The closest store is about 20-30 minutes away so be sure to plan accordingly. The kitchen was well stocked, but be sure to bring your toiletries such as soap, shampoo and conditioner. Although we did not use the hot tub, it was very clean and well taken care of. The swing bed was a nice place to get lost with a good book. There are plenty of trails to explore. We saw a lot of deer and wild turkey. We had dinner at the lodge (located at the entrance of the property) one night and enjoyed chatting with the locals and other visitors. Overall, we could not have asked for a better experience.

Thank you for the review and photos. I am glad you had a great time at Bear Cub. Looks like your 4-legged family member also enjoyed the stay. We strive to provide enjoyable stay for our guest. I hope you will return and give us the chance to receive 10/10 next time. Thank you again.
Omg this is a hidden gem! This was actually the second time we stayed but didn’t realize when we scheduled because of the upgrades. We stayed three years ago and love it .. the updated patio hot tub and OMG! The swinging day bed puts this property at a 12/10. The views are not exaggerated and the cabin is so well maintained and cared for. You can tell this host puts a lot of time and effort into making this get away amazing. The privacy and just total peace and quiet is not exaggerated either. You cannot hear people, traffic noise or anything except birds and acorns falling this time of year. The sunset views are in incredible especially when relaxing in the gorgeous hot tub. We didn’t plan many adventures this trip because we really just wanted to unplug and relax and it was perfect. We were able to take a nice hike up the Daniel Boone Trail within a short walk from the driveway with was also so great. Strongly recommend this cabin for a couples retreat or two couples as there is plenty of space and seating that you have your own areas. Again cannot say enough about this little slice of heaven!

Hello Kristen, we are very happy to hear you had a wonderful time at Bear Cub. The hanging daybed was custom made by myself, it's one of my hobby, I made 2 for our Vaca rental in Carolina Beach. There will be more upgrades coming up, we just need to find the time to do it. I hope you guys will return again in the future. Check out our other property on Carolina Beach! Lastly, we really appreciate your review and photos. Thanks again!!
We have returned to this property again this year. It is one of the most peaceful, well maintained properties you will ever find in the NC mountains near Boone and Blowing Rock. The entire deck areas surrounding the house is so relaxing, from the hot tub to the swinging lounger, to the double porch swing watching the sunset. The host is an outstanding communicator, and we are so grateful for the opportunity to enjoy this home again this year. If you enjoy true silence, beautiful views, the opportunity to be at peace away from everything, yet near enough to go into Blowing Rock or Boone for groceries or a lovely lunch/dinner, you must try this house.

Thank you for your review. We look forward to having you back as guest. We also have a property in the beautiful Carolina Beach in case you are looking for different scenery. Thanks again!
Excellent communication from host and perfect cabin in the mountains for the ultimate peaceful, quiet getaway from the noise of the world! Aptly named as well, we encountered a black bear cub on our hike with the dogs. The decks here are perfect to truly enjoy the beauty of nature surrounding you.
Fantastic views with lots of seating options outside to relax and enjoy. The outdoor swinging bed was nice for afternoon naps. The deck was convenient for keeping dogs outside.We made several meals on the grill, and the kitchen was well stocked.Getting back up the driveway was a bit fun, just make sure to maintain decent speed going up it or you'll spin out.
Alyson is such a great host! My wife and I have stayed at this cabin in the past, but gifted a stay to our friends. Like is, they too had an amazing time at the cabin. They mentioned tge peace and quiet, and the atmosphere of the hot tub on the deck as highlights. Again, thank you Alyson! Truly a gem of a location.
The hot tub what very clean and felt amazing after hiking everyday and the cabin is very private can't see any other cabins around except for the ones way across on the other mountains
Incredible property. We stay at a lot of these, by far the winner on location and views, hot tub was awesome. Will definitely be coming back!

Thank you for the great review and the photos! We are glad that you had a great time at bear Cub. We look forward to having you back. Fall colors are coming up soon!
Got recommended this cabin by family and it did not disappoint. The neighborhood and cabin were beautiful, and the view from the porch was amazing. Also a great stay for my dog, she enjoyed all the hikes and hanging out on the patio. Will be planning to return in the future!
Our stay was amazing! Beautiful views from this cozy home nestled right in the side of the mountain. We spent the days hiking and the evening recovering in the hot tub. The little restaurant at the entrance was very good and convenient and the staff were great! Would love to come back with our pups!
