Great cabin

This is a great place to stay with an amazing property manager. Really cozy. We had an appliance go out while we were there and they did everything they could to accommodate us and help fix the issue while we were there. Highly recommend them and the property manager to anyone looking to stay in the Ashe Cpunty area.

Great view

We enjoyed our stay and everything was great except that they did not give us extra towels for showers but I guess we could have washed them if we wanted clean towels each day.

Great quiet place

We stayed here working in Ashe County for Hurricane Helene relief and we loved it. The view is beautiful and the home is very nice with a great selection of kitchen utensils and a crockpot which was my favorite to use while we were there. Had everything we needed to make this our home away from home. We loved it so much we have rented it again in the future because we are staying through the end of the year helping clean up from Hurricane Helene.

An Absolutely Perfect Mountain Escape!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our stay at Bear Creek Ridge was everything we hoped for and more! From the moment we arrived, we were struck by the beautiful landscaping and the welcoming, easy-access paved driveway – a huge plus for anyone, especially if you're on a motorcycle!The cabin itself is a true gem. The one-level design made it incredibly convenient, and the two spacious bedrooms with their en-suite bathrooms offered fantastic privacy and comfort. We loved the thoughtful touches like the Roku TVs in each room and the walk-in shower in the primary suite, which also had the added convenience of laundry facilities.

Wonderful Cabin

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our stay in Bear Creek Ridge was wonderful. The cabin was in a great location...fifteen minutes or so from West Jefferson and about thirty to North Wilkesboro. The cabin was clean and looked brand new. It was equipped with everything we possibly could have needed. We loved the decor. The teenager with us actually counted the bears inside the cabin - 183 but found a couple more before we left so it may be closer to 190 bears! The abundance of board games and the game room/garage had lots to keep us entertained. IF there was a downside-one of us broke her foot a couple of days before we came and was in a wheelchair. Accessibility (maybe through the garage) would have been helpful, but we managed. Inside everything was equipped and she managed fine.Great customer service as always with CMVR!
