Description
Big Bear Escape is a custom built three-bedroom two bath luxury cabin and is just down the road from its smaller counterpart ‘Little Bear Escape’. Privately located off the road, it’s perfect for those looking for a getaway surrounded by nature. This luxury cabin offers 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 spacious great room which features a large mounted smart TV, floor to ceiling windows and a cozy wood burning fireplace. The open concept layout paired with high ceilings and wall of windows make you feel that you are truly a part of the surrounding forest landscape while offering stunning year-round views of Grandfather Mountain.
Across from the great room is the dining area with comfortable seating for 4 and the fully equipped kitchen featuring a custom built island with barstools for two, 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 laundry room with custom cabinetry and a stacked front-loading washer and dryer. Across from the laundry room is a full bathroom with a walk-in shower. At the end of the hall is a full bathroom with a custom tiled shower, and the entrance to a spacious bedroom. This suite features a king bed with hotel quality sheets and a forested view.
Just steps away down the hall is the master suite with a king bed, large windows and an ensuite master bath. This master bath features a stunning double vanity, custom tile work and a glass encased walk in shower. Truly spa like.
Upstairs is a loft reading nook located just outside a bedroom featuring two twins, a large TV and cozy beanbag seating! Perfect for the kids to get cozy in a space of their own.
Outside is a large floating deck equipped outdoor dining table, large sectional sofa, grill and a hot tub where you can enjoy the peaceful sounds of nature and enjoy the views of the mountains and sunsets. For those traveling with a larger group and need additional accommodations, Little Bear Escape is located on the same road and is approximately 100 yards away.

Amazing house and property. Pristine inside and out. Easy access and excellent location for travelers looking to maximize activities during their stay. We didn't want to leave!- Hunter, Posted: 11/19/2024
My family really enjoyed our stay at the Little Bear. Great views, nice decor, vaulted ceilings, and not far from restaurants. The host was responsive.- Aaron, Posted: 09/09/2024
Beautiful house! Not far from the main road, but feels very private and peaceful. The view of Grandfather Mountain was amazing! We loved the decor, amenities, hot tub, cleanliness, & beds were comfy. Blue Ridge Rentals was friendly, responsive, & very accommodating with our check-in/check-out times. We would love to book this house again in the future!- Melissa, Posted: 08/18/2024
We loved the house and location!- Ashley, Posted: 07/24/2024
Wonderful escape from Atlanta. Won't find a better view, so peaceful. Will miss my morning coffee on the porch. The house is beautiful and has everything you could ask for. We will absolutely be coming back in the future!- Brian, Posted: 07/09/2024
We really enjoyed staying at Big Bear Escape. The cabin was very cozy and had a great view of the mountains - the amount of windows/light in the great room was awesome. You get a nice "remote" feel while only being a short drive from the ski slopes or hiking trails and downtown Banner Elk.- Phillip, Posted: 02/27/2024
Beautiful home and beautiful views! Would recommend to anyone looking for the perfect cabin getaway.- Madison, Posted: 02/19/2024
Great place to relax nice view of the mountains highly recommended- Luis, Posted: 01/29/2024
This home was amazing. The interior was decorated beautifully and the views were spectacular. The location was perfect to everything we wanted to do. Our family had the best time and I couldn't have asked for a better birthday weekend.- Stephanie, Posted: 12/29/2023
My family and I had the best time at this beautiful home! It is in a wonderful location and we loved the deck, the views, and all the nice amenities the home had. We would stay here again in a heart beat! Thank you for sharing your home with us to enjoy it.- Haley, Posted: 12/29/2023
We had a wonderful time at Big Bear Escape over the week of 4th of July! The adorable A frame house had all of the amenities needed, really comfortable beds, sheets and towels were top notch. The house is decorated so well, that I may get some of the same furniture for my house. The view was spectacular all day long. Loved how secluded we felt and enjoyed the quick drive up the mountain off of the main highway. Great location for all activities (tubing, Hawks Nest zip lining and the mountain coaster). The kitchen was perfect with all utensils. My husband was able to work a couple days/good internet connection. Blue Ridge rentals were very responsive with any and all questions. We will be coming back!- Noel, Posted: 07/10/2023
This home is incredible. Every single detail of the home is high end. There is not a single item that is low quality or low budget. Everything was comfortable and spotless. The most important aspect however was the incredible view. We had initially planned to eat out for dinner every night but ended up cooking at the house and eating on the back deck as the view was amazing of Grand Father Mountain. Overall one of the top places I have ever stayed at.- Chris, Posted: 07/03/2023
Great house!- Jaclyn, Posted: 05/16/2023
Beautiful, clean home with a spectacular view. Would book again.- Mark, Posted: 05/15/2023
Beautiful cabin , if you are looking for something quiet and private this cabin is just perfect ! Love it- Marisol, Posted: 05/15/2023
We loved this cabin so much! It was even more beautiful than the photos! Our children LOVED the hot tub (so did we)! Highly recommend!- Courtney, Posted: 04/17/2023
Beautiful home! Lights were on upon arrival which was very welcoming. Beautifully decorated, modern fixtures, and spotless! Hot tub was clean, ready to use and Sonos system a plus!! We enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back!!- Elias, Posted: 03/20/2023
Truly a mountain paradise. We look forward to returning! The home is absolutely stunning from the architecture to the interior design. The view is incredible, and with the back porch having a hot tub, solo stove, and blackstone, this property can't be beat!- Ashley, Posted: 12/19/2022
We loved the home. It was very clean, beautiful view and perfectly designed. Home was well stocked with everything we needed!- Naomi, Posted: 12/09/2022
