This cabin was cozy and perfectly located between Hawks Nest Snow Tubing and Otter Falls hiking trails.Our teenage boys loved the bedroom with the loft. And the dining table was plenty large enough for our party of 7 to eat dinner and play games.A couple of notes - the fireplace puts off a pretty strong gas smell when it lights, but it clears up after a few minutes. There is a carbon monoxide monitor on a shelf next to the fireplace as well.If the driveway is icy, you can reach out to request ice melt be spread or just bring some with you.There is a coffee maker in the kitchen, it will brew up to 12 cups but uses the cone shaped filters, not the traditional ones.

Family Snow Trip

The property was extremely clean and nicely decorated. We had no kitchen cloths for drying dishes or wiping down countertops so we had to purchase. We were happy to see the sleds left downstairs and the children enjoyed sledding at Boone Town Hall for free! Overall a very nice place to stay!

Great getaway with friends

We came up with friends and had a great time. The front porch is magical and the fire pit was fully stocked with wood. We ate our weight in s’mores over the long weekend. The WIFI worked great so we had zero service issues. Don’t forget: extra trash bags, toilet paper, paper towels, sugar, dish detergent, laundry detergent. We missed the note about only 2 of 3 rooms having AC. It does get hot in the loft of the one room with AC and the room without AC in the summer. All in all, we will be back. The location is great and we enjoyed hiking, food, and the winery near by.
Response from VrboOwner on 29 Jul 2025
Thank you so much for sharing your lovely feedback with us, Amber. We’re thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the magical front porch, the fully stocked fire pit, and the great WiFi during your stay. It’s wonderful that the location near hiking trails, delicious food, and a winery added to your overall experience and made your trip even more special. We also appreciate you bringing to our attention the note about the air conditioning. We apologize for any discomfort caused by the loft and the room without AC getting warm during the summer. To clarify, only the two king bedrooms are equipped with window AC units, and we understand how important it is to have a comfortable environment, especially during warmer months. Your feedback is valuable, and we will make sure this information is clearly communicated to future guests to help set the right expectations. Thank you again for your thoughtful comments. We hope you’ll consider staying with us again so we can welcome you back and provide another memorable and comfortable stay.

Alpine charm and serenity.

The back porch ambience and fire pit area created a positive impression upon arrival. It was also much used! The interior was clean and made a cozy, nicely appointed retreat for our 5 adults and two teens. We enjoyed hanging out, playing games, watching TV, and all of the fun activities nearby. We strongly recommend the Bearfoote Chalet!

Wonderful mountain chalet

The furniture and space is very enjoyable and mountainy. Great fireplace and everything works!! The late spring mountain view was minimal from the home. Driveway is steep for those that are concerned with such things. This was a perfect weekend chalet for our mountain getaway. Would totally book here again!

Very nice home in a convenient location

We had a great girl's trip at the chalet. The decor was beautiful and comfy. Fireplace easy! With the leaves gone we could see the sunrise over the mountains. Kitchen well-stocked and the bed linens were surprisingly nice! Our most talked about and favorite amenity were the heated toilet seats, LOL! Very close to Grandfather Vineyard and Winery, a lovely spot!

Would stay again

Everything was as expected, or better. Great views from inside and outside! The listing was accurate, and the place was nice and cozy. The driveway is steep, and I was nervous parking upon arrival... But by the second day, it was a walk in the park.

Great Home

Great home with good atmosphere. As described. No issues. But the driveway is very narrow with an awkward entrance and very very steep. But that was disclosed in the listing. A great location with a very cool friendly vibe. Everything you need, nothing you don’t.

The house was very good but some small improvements would help. The house was too dark for my taste. The photo on the website was bright but all the light bulbs were very dim and lampshades were dark. Bedside table lantern lamp did not work at all. Reading lights were rare. Overall lighting in home was poor. Seemed to be several cobwebs around. Porch furniture was worn and needed cushions. Most sitting chairs in great room were not comfortable, seating cushions needed replacing. Master bathtub was slippery and I actually fell, but not hurt.... a potential liability. Bathroom off front door had very strong mold smell. Nice to have had a product like 409 available to wipe down counters. Code to unlock front door excessively long.

Read description carefully

We were disappointed to open the door to a warm, stale, musty, cabin. After looking to turn air condition down and create airflow we realized that there was no A/ C. Maybe I should have looked closer at description as it does only list heat. Lucky for us it was cool for end of May. However in my defense they let you know twice that it has a private washer and dryer. But never mention lack of air. Also driveway is very steep and narrow. With the speed needed to get up the driveway the post for handrail is very close . That said furniture, room, and kitchen supplies were all nice.
