About this property

Little Bear Escape - Stunning custom 1BR with hot tub between Boone and Banner Elk! Pet friendly!

Little Bear Escape is a custom built single-bedroom luxury cabin and is just down the road from its larger counterpart 'Big Bear Escape'. Privately located off the road, it's perfect for those looking for a romantic getaway surrounded by nature. This luxury cabin offers seasonal mountain views and is conveniently located between Boone and Banner Elk with just a short drive to either.

Enter the main level of this spacious home from the parking area up just 6 steps to a large floating deck. The front door opens into the spacious great room which features a large mounted smart TV, a queen pull-out couch and a cozy wood burning fireplace. The floor to ceiling windows paired with high ceilings and multiple skylights make you feel that you are truly a part of the surrounding forest landscape while offering stunning seasonal views of Grandfather Mountain.

On the south side of the great room is the dining area with comfortable seating for all and forest views through the large windows. Adjacent to the dining area is the fully-equipped kitchen featuring a custom built island, stainless steel appliances, soft-closing cabinets and high quality silverware, knives, and cookware.

Down the hall toward the east side of the main level is a stacked washer & dryer, a full bathroom with a walk in shower, and the entrance to the spacious master suite. This suite features a king bed with hotel quality sheets, a large walk-in closet, and large mounted smart TV.

Outside is a large floating deck equipped with a ski lift swinging bench, outdoor dining table and a ceramic chiminea where you can enjoy the peaceful sounds of nature and enjoy the views of the mountains and sunsets. Just steps away is a brand new four-person hot tub nestled along the tree line with a fantastic view. For those traveling with a larger group and need more space, Big Bear Escape is located on the same road and is approximately 100 yards away.
