Great layout, clean, had everything you needed, great location being in Valle Crucis! My daughter loved finding all the bears throughout the cabin. We would stay here again!
We had 4 generations staying in the house for the weekend of my cousin's wedding in Valle Crucis. We loved the 3 bedrooms on separate floors and well-equipped kitchen. Place was clean and beds were comfortable. Communication was very good with owner and property manager.

We do not get much snow where we live! So we headed to Banner Elk NC to find some! Beech Mountain was perfect. Staying at Bear Creek was an awesome place to stay to help make this possible. And Pet friendly! The fire pit at night was the icing on the cake! Love it here! Happy to recommend.

There were 7 of us, 3 generations ages 11 to 72. Had a memorable long weekend skiing and snowboarding at Sugar Mountain, family shuffle board tournament, s’mores around the fire pit and relaxing in front of the fireplace. The house worked perfect for us and the addition of falling snow was a huge bonus!! We all hated to leave.

We loved our stay at this cabin! Every year we have a surprise Christmas vacation and we have no negatives whatsoever for this rental. It was so cozy and rustic. The kitchen had everything and beyond of what we needed. We loved that the fridge had a working ice maker. We LOVED the gas fireplace and outdoor fire pit. The beds were very comfortable. We loved the space we had to spread out.We loved the area and the neighborhood. Would 100% come back and recommend this cabin. Oh and we LOVED the bear theme and all the rustic decor!

My family arranged a birthday trip for me at Bear Creek. It was absolutely perfect! The house was beautiful and well appointed. Each floor had a spacious bedroom and bathroom which is important to us since our children are grown and married! The view was fantastic! We only got to use the fire pit once because of windy conditions but enjoyed it!

We had a fabulous stay at Bear Creek! It was just as pictured; full kitchen, family fun & games, clean, well maintained, and spacious. Location was perfect, short drive to tons of area attractions. Decor was welcoming and fit the cabin perfectly. Our little one had so much fun trying to count all the bears! This place helped make our family weekend getaway truly amazing.
Valle Crucis is one of our favorite places to visit and Bear Creek cabin is a perfect place to stay located near the Community park and.Mast General Store. Banner Elk and Boone are a short drive away. Everything about the house offers comfort and convenience, clean and well-equipped..

We loved spending time at Bear Creek! The cabin was clean, organized and well stocked with essentials for a great stay. We enjoyed counting the bears, playing shuffle board and sitting outside enjoying the weather with our dog, Lucy. We will be back! Thanks!
Bear Creek cabin is an excellent dog-friendly rental property and our family would stay there again in the future. The location of the cabin is easily accessible and near Boone, Blowing Rock and Banner Elk. The house was clean, comfortable and very spacious. It was perfect for our family vacation.

The house was exactly as advertised; clean spacious and private, exactly what we were looking for. The shuffleboard table provided some good competition and the backyard accessible from the lower level was perfect for the pup to roam around.
We’ll definitely be back to this home again!
