Home is a great home/cabin in the mountains with amazing views. Great layout and amenities. The only complaint we had was the home wasn’t ready to check in at the indicated checkin time. We had plans to go tubing but all our clothes were packed up in the suitcases and we weren’t able to get in for 1 1/2 hours after . We were called a 2 hours before checkin when we were on the road.
great view of sugar mtn..kids really enjoyed hot tub, pool table and video games. will rent it again.

Thank you for sharing. Knowing that a guest enjoyed the home as well as had a great time is our motivating factor. Its our hope that you will revisit in the very near future.
Multiple spaces for family to eat, relax and play. We used all of them, outdoor picnic tables to each; outdoor chairs to relax and enjoy the view, indoor large dinning table for our family of 11 to eat and play games, downstairs pool table, tv and sitting area, upstairs living area to enjoy some TV and converstaion and a kitchen that was large enough for many to cook. Loved our stay

Thank you so much for sharing. Knowing our guest had a great time and enjoyed the property is its own reward! Take care and we hope you will revisit sooner rather than later.
The house is beautiful. We had 12 people staying in the house. It was nice to have the little kids downstairs in their own area while the adults slept in. The beds were a hit and miss on comfort. The kitchen was awesome had plenty of everything you need. The view from the deck was so awesome. The fire pit was great for some s’more. We didn’t use the hot tub.

Disappointing
The house was not what we expected. The photos make the interior seem larger than it is. The house is old and looks it. The kitchen is in need of updating. The range/oven is quite old, and the burners do not all work properly. There were not very many pots/pans or mixing bowls, and the utensils were scattered among several drawers. There were no extra paper products (toilet paper, paper towels, paper plates etc). The decking has not been painted in years. Half the furniture around the fire pit is in bad shape. The cleaning should be better, as some of the bath drains were clogged and the floor in the master bath was slippery. This house is in need of major upgrading.

Great amount of space, needs updating
Great space, great views, but subpar condition of the house. Several broken drawers, chairs, cabinets… the chairs in the dining room were all broken that we had to make sure the kids all sat on the bench. The space was great, but a bowl full of water under the kitchen sink catching the leak. Just needs some TLC….but disappointed with the condition of the home with the amount of money we spent.
Renting through VRBO was easy and direct. Carolina Cabins was very nice and helpful and answered all questions.

Perfect Mountain Cabin Experience
Bear the View was the perfect cabin for our multi generational early Christmas weekend. The bedrooms are so comfortable, and it has every amenity we needed. The extra touches of a beautifully decorated tree, books for the kids to read, even the snowman decorating kit made it just over the top. Can't wait to go back!
This property blew everyone's expectations out of the water. The views were perfect. The location was easy to find. The beds were comfortable. This was a weekend we will always remember. Thank you for offering such a gorgeous space for us to have made these lasting memories in together!

What a perfect stay!
This cabin was absolutely PERFECT! It's located at the top of the mountain thus offering a beautiful view! There's a large deck outside that's great for hanging out any time of the day. The cabin is spacious and very accommodating. I can't WAIT to return!

Weekend of Bearable Fun
We loved the facility! The view was breath taking, the house was perfect, and everyone fit comfortably!
Everything worked, although we had trouble with the multiple tv remotes. We enjoyed the hot tub and fire pit all weekend.
The kitchen is well equipped for a large family. Everything we needed was there for our use.
The two fridges provided ample space for food and beverage storage!
The rental company send numerous emails that kept me informed on the cabin, amenities, directions, and area attractions.
I believe we will be rebooking for next year!

Absolutely Wonderful. I would give 20 stars if I could.
Words cannot express how incredible our stay was. This cabin exceeded our expectations. The home was stunning, full of beautiful detail and cozy amenities. Everything was very clean and well kept. It was the perfect space for a large group and something to enjoy for everyone! Not to mention the gorgeous views and very convenient location.
This was an amazing house with an awesome view of Sugar Mountain. The property managers responded quickly and were there to help throughout our stay. I highly recommend this house for a getaway in the mountains!

Bear The View
We absolutely loved this cabin. The terrace over looking the breath taking view cannot be beat. There is a tree on the right side that blocks the sunset in the summer that i wish was not there but otherwise the view is incredible. The grounds are amazing. We used the fire pit every night. The kitchen was not cleaned well and the dishwasher was full upon arrival but Luckily we brought our own things. The water pressure was terrible but at least we didn't run out of hot water. The family room was great. We absolutely loved this house. !!!!
This was a wonderful vacation. The view from the house was amazing, the yard was spacious and the house was big. The hot tub was relaxing, and the fire place was very cozy. This place was very good and the owners put a lot of work into making this place a wonderful house to stay in. The issue is that the house still needs a serious deep clean: we found gum drops under furniture, marks on bath and shower floors and plenty of dust throughout (inside cabinets, on shelves, the kitchen stuff…). Because the house was not cleaned, there were mice! We saw one scurrying across the downstairs bathroom floor and their noise kept us awake at times. We found mice droppings on the bed! They NEED to take care of the mice problem! (and a deep clean throughout and new paint job inside)

Thank you for the constructive feedback. As always we use feedback both positive and negative as training aids for our frontline staff. An exterminator has been contacted for the mice problem, which is exacerbated by the proximity of the wooded areas. Thank you once again for the feedback.

Rouge trip
Bear the View was located with an absolutely beautiful view but the sub standard housekeeping took away from the pleasures of enjoying your home.
Walls are a mess along with Windows and baseboards. Downstairs bathroom smelled so bad we could not use it. Showers and bathtubs all needed sanitizing and scrubbing. Deck needs painting. You also need to maintain the fire pit and grill. The home in general needs updating and a standard of cleaning. I am sending a photo of main shower for your reference. This is during Covid!
We have rented with Carolina Cabins several times. This is our first negative review. Who likes to be negative? Certainly not us! But we felt that you needed to be aware.
So sorry.

Great unique stay
Great spring break stay considering activities in the area closed down due to the conditions around the world. Perhaps everyone is hypersensitive about cleanliness but the families agreed it would have been an easy 5 star rating with an extra wipe down.

Absolutely perfect !
Bear the View is amazing ! We had our family holiday get- together there - 16 people ! Eight grandchildren under the age of 13 and they had a blast !!! The house was decorated beautifully including a gorgeous Christmas tree !! We loved cooking in the kitchen and the large dining table seated 16 and made meal time so special. The kids and adults enjoyed the pool table and the hot tub! Plus the view out the many windows was gorgeous !!! So happy we rented this lovely home. Hope to go again in the future. Best memories made!!!

The view and the house was amazing. Only thing that is preventing me from giving a five star review is the kitchen. The pots and pans were scattered in different cabinets and the layout made everything hard to find. All that said, our group loved the place and would love to return for another vacation!
