Place was beautiful and exactly what we needed for our weekend in NC. We were there for our friends wedding in the mountains, and couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. Hot tub was a great bonus after a long day. Great communication from property management and very clean. Highly recommend

Thank you so much! We'd love to have you back anytime! - BRMR
We absolutely loved the cabin! It was very cozy and perfect for our family. It was very convenient to Beech mountain and downtown Banner Elk. The place was incredibly clean! We loved all the amenities and the very soft towels! Such a wonderful place to stay. The only concern is the GPS didn't quite pinpoint the location. And we had to venture out on our own to find it. Thankfully additional directions were provided to us by the property management company.

Stay at 4 Bears
Sheets in master bedroom had crumbs, not sure they were washed so we washed them. Someone left dirty shirt and underwear on dresser in master.
Neighbors dogs started barking at 4:00 AM everyday!
