Really enjoyed the property and was perfect for an extended weekend trip. The kitchen was lacking basic cooking spices along with any plastic wrap or foil. Everything else was great.

Such an amazing property. The drive up to it was a bit nail biting! Beautifully decorated! There is no coffee maker but a French press & keurig. Wish I had known ahead of time. Spectacular view from front windows! Really enjoyed our stay.

Great weekend getaway

Wonderful place to get away together and have some quiet time. Everything was as pictured, would definitely stay here again. The driveway could use a little work, there were many places where the gravel had washed which made it a bit bumpy but all in all would totally recommend this place.

The cabin was clean and well designed. Beautifully decorated and the kitchen was well equipped. The hot tub was clean and the outdoor seating was comfortable and adequate. There was plenty of towels in the bathroom and the bed was comfortable.

Coziest place ever

Seriously one of the best places we’ve ever stayed. Definitely the best in Boone, and we’ve visited 5+ times. We loved watching a storm from the big bedroom windows! Our pups loved it too. It even smells amazing :)

Perfect Getaway

We loved staying at Little Bear Escape. Everything was clean and very well decorated. It even smelled new. It was just the cutest tiny house. Our favorite part was the hot tub on cold nights. We loved being able to bring our dog. Would definitely recommend.
