What a delightful studio. Very clean and comfortable. Loved the bakery cookies, the stocked coffee bar, and stocked water and soda! Plenty of comfy linens. The studio was secluded, but conveniently located to town and ski lodges. We had a wonderful stay and hope to return in the fall. I highly recommend the Badger’s Den.

Badger’s Den is a wonderful and cozy haven near Blowing Rock. The place has lovely views and provides a cozy cabin feel. The linens and bedding are good quality and the kitchen is well appointed and stocked with basic necessities. We appreciated that the coffee bar was stocked and there are special touches and attention detail everywhere you look. There is good internet and access to tv streaming services. The host was easy quick to respond to questions and to offer suggestions re: activities and restaurants in the area. We enjoyed our stay and would love to visit again in the future. Would highly recommend

We thoroughly enjoyed our anniversary/babymoon trip to the mountains. Our only regret is not being able to stay longer! This is a perfect location close to Blowing Rock and Boone. We loved the theme and decor inside it was the perfect little studio. Erik and Sharon were thoughtful to leave us treats from a local bakery and a little gift for our baby on the way. Thank you for your hospitality; we’d love to stay again in the future!
