We had a wonderful relaxing vacation at your charming cabin. The accomodations were clean and well stocked. The upstairs king bed was very comfortable. We truly appreciate how accomodating and friendly Angela was for our stay on very short notice. The setting offered complete privacy. The hot tub was awesome. We could not have enjoyed everything any better! Thank you so much! - Ruth and Jay

Romantic Getaway

We've been renting mountain cabins for years, and this is the nicest one we've visited! The cabin is very secluded. The kitchen is well-equiped. It was immaculately clean, and the beds are super comfortable. We enjoyed eating outside on the picnic table, having wine on the porch, and relaxing in the hot tub. Mast General Store was a great place to walk around, listen to live music, and drink 5 cent coffee. We also had a nice date night dinner at 1861 Farm House. You can't go wrong staying at this cabin.

Wonderful three night stay, the cabin was well kept and the surrounding area was well maintained. The owners were wonderful to work with on rental dates. The area was great for our family and close to all the nearby activities. We would recommend this to our friends and family.

What a wonderful weekend to end my son's Spring Break. The cabin was above expectations and the location was excellent. We spent a great deal of time doing the disc course and enjoying the beautiful views the farm had to offer. Was nice to be able to walk back to the cabin and take a much needed soak in the hot tub. The indoor fireplace came in handy with a chill still in the air. Kept us nice and cozy. The kids (19, 18 and 15) were very content and would love to go back. Thanks again for sharing your beautiful home. We will definitely be back! The McKoy's, Charlotte, NC

We stayed at the Bear Tree Cabin and had a great time! Such a cute and cozy place. The fire and the hot tub make you not want to leave the cabin at all! But if you do...it is located very conveniently...you are so close to Valle Crucis and the Mast General Store. The perfect little getaway!

Restored @ Beartree!

We had the pleasure of spending this past weekend @Beartree cabin. My boyfriend who was seeing it for the first time must have said "WOW THIS IS AWESOME!" 6 times as I toured him around the property. We relaxed by the cozy fire, sipped champagne in the hot tub and slept in til 9 in the soft downstairs bed. We cooked our first dinner in the spacious kitchen and dined out at one of the area's many wonderful restaurants the second. The kitchen was so clean I came home feeling guilty and spent today scrubbing my own house! We were both taken aback by the quiet and privacy. The property owner reminded us that the upstairs bed was the king but we enjoyed using the downstairs as a cozy romantic retreat. Next time we'll bring the kids and friends as there is plenty of room! We loved it but don't recommend it to anyone else because we want it to stay available FOR US! haha

Beautiful Cabin... Wish we could have stayed longer!

This cabin well exceeded my expectations. It was wonderful coming in and not having to worry about going out to the store to get the basics, and even some not so basic items. The kitchen was well stocked. It was wonderful having nicer appliances and good pots and pans, way more than you would expect from a rental. The location was perfect for the wedding we were attending in Valle Crucis, though it was hard for us to leave the cabin (and the hot tub). My only complaint was that we couldn't stay a few more nights!

Beautiful, quiet family place

My young daughters enjoyed the garden setting, sleeping loft, and hot tub. Safe, secure, and peaceful, this cabin has a storybook setting but close enough to nearby towns for the basics. Clean and furnished with quality things, it felt like an upscale resort with no noise or crowds.

Mountain Bliss

Date of Stay: 06/27/11 Review Submitted: 07/04/11

This is a wonderful cottage nestled amongst giant rhododendron on a quiet, secluded hillside. Beautiful hardwoods, tile bathroom, great appliances, comfy furniture, high end ceiling fans in every room. All rooms look professionally decorated. Very nice Pella double-hung windows (very easy to open and close). No complaints whatsoever. You will not be disappointed if you stay here. This is a very, very nice cabin. The disc golf course is one of the best ever with some great mountain views on the Christmas tree farm. Hot tub was perfect! Gas grill worked like a champ! Great front and back porch! We will definitely stay here again on our next trip to Boone. Also, location is great if you plan on running around to Blowing Rock, Banner Elk, and Boone.

Owner response: We hope you and your friends can come stay again!

Wonderful Cabin in the Forest Clearing

Beautifully appointed, very clean and well maintained cabin surrounded by woods. River only a short hike away. Very roomy; photos do not do it justice. Loved the hot tub. Invited several family members for a visit who live in the area and all were impressed. Angela, the owner, was very friendly and accomodating.

My husband and I went to Bear Tree Cabin for a weekend getaway and we fell in love with this place. First of all, the cabin is very easy to get to and VERY convenient to Blowing Rock and Boone. The cabin is very clean and neat and has everything you need to relax. We spent Friday night in Blowing Rock and then the rest of the weekend was spent just enjoying the cabin, grilling out and the hot tub. This cabin is perfect for a couple's weekend or a small family get-away. Valle Crucis is a VERY beautiful place and we would love to go again!

Owner response:Thanks, Bonnie! We are glad you enjoyed your stay and hope you can return soon! Angela & Jim

What a lovely, peaceful, secluded and safe place. It was just what I needed to rest my soul. Grandchildren loved the freedom of exploring the woods. Spotless without formality. Everything we needed was readily available in the cabin. There was easy access to the restaurants, Linville caverns and Grandfather mountain. We had a marvelous time.

We just returned from several days at Bear Creek Cabin. This was the most comfortable, quiet and relaxed I've been in a long time. My husband and I have already recommended this cabin to friends, relatives and co-workers. The landscaping is so lush and we enjoyed sitting on the porch reading and having a cocktail. Our 2 year old son had a blast hiking around the property and checking out the Bear Tree and salamanders. The Valle Crucis Park behind the Mast is so lush and perfect for a walk or a picnic. Angela and Jim have done a great job outfitting the property. The hot tub was so relaxing. Everything was clean and very well maintained. There is a nice selection of dvd's both up and downstairs. We are cooks and found the kitchen to have everything we needed. Each night we grilled on the gas grill and enjoyed sitting outside at the picnic table. We will definitely return---hopefully very soon.

We rented the cabin for two nights. I am normally very picky person on where we stay. This cabin exceeded my expectations. We have 3 children and had plenty of room. It was very well kept and private. There were so many things that impressed us about this place. We will return here again and this will be at the top of my list. Angela was a delight to work with and always very prompt.

I spent my 50th birthday at the cabin along with some friends. It was a cool, rainy weekend but we were cozy inside with a fire in the woodstove and the hot tub just outside the door. Beautiful cabin interior and exterior with loads of privacy and charm.

We rented the house without knowing the area, and were delighted! The setting could not be more private and lovely, the house is brand new and wonderfully furnished, and it is a very short trip into downtown Valle Crucis, Boone, or Banner Elk.
