Little Bear was exceptional! The property was clean and thoughtfully designed providing luxury and comfort in a compact space. The views of Grandfather Mountain were breathtaking and the location was ideal when traveling to Banner Elk/Boone/Blowing Rock. Communication was top notch, from easy check in to reminders for check out. The owners allowed our fur babies, which made the stay that much more special. The rental is a true gem; just be mindful to practice your dish washing skills (no dishwasher), to enjoy the roof top sounds from rain and falling chestnuts (metal roof), to practice your driving skills (driveway is narrow and steep), and to embrace the echo from the tall ceilings. Little Bear offered us a perfect blend of relaxation and elegance and we can't wait to return!

Was great view and loved the hot tub.
- Bethany, Posted: 09/03/2024
The place was amazing. We had everything we needed. We decided not to have a fire in either the fireplace or chiminea, but had it been a little colder, we would have enjoyed both. Great communication and instructions, which are both appreciated. We will be back!

Beautiful!!! We stayed here for a quick weekend getaway and couldn't have been more pleased. Perfect little getaway tucked away in the mountains. Nice halfway point between Boone and Grandfather Mountain. Will keep in mind for future mountain stays!

This home is the perfect relaxing retreat! We loved the modern design, large windows, and most of all the gorgeous view of the mountains. The place was well decorated and very clean. It's very central to a lot of the hiking and sights. We will definitely stay again!

Thanks for a great place to stay. We had a wonderful weekend.

We loved Little Bear's Escape. The location was just off the main road but felt very private and peaceful. The road to the property was a little steep, mostly gravel, but well maintained. All wheel drive or 4x4 recommended. The property was exactly as advertised, very clean, and comfortable. We loved all the natural light and watching the mountains change as the day progressed. It was quiet but easy to get to Boone, Banner Elk and beyond. The hot tub was a nice perk too! We wouldn't hesitate to return to this beautiful home. Blue Ridge was a great host, gave easy to follow instructions, and was very responsive. We did not have any problems or complaints. Thank you!

So happy to have found this charming home!!!! Little Bear Escape could not have been more perfect for my husband and I for a long weekend. First of all, the location is perfect. Set off on a very private, quiet road and in the woods. Beautiful design, I just wished our house looked just like it! It was perfect for our visit to Banner Elk. The cottage was spotless, warm, cozy, inviting, and every amenity we could ever need. We loved it and we absolutely will return!!
- Kelly, Posted: 03/11/2024
Had issues with the heat the first night we were there and the host did everything to have the issue corrected quickly for us. The space is beautiful and has everything we needed and wanted. Hot tub is a great addition and the views were great. We would definitely stay again in the future.

We had a fantastic time at this beautiful property! We are from just a couple hours away but like to escape on occasion. We found everything about this house very well done! Or only regret is that the weather was not good enough for using the hot tub but that didn't really matter. We enjoyed relaxing by the fireplace in total peace and quiet. 10 out 10, highly recommend!
- Rob, Posted: 01/26/2024

We had a wonderful time at Little Bear Escape! It looks just like the pictures. The kitchen was fully equipped, furniture was durable and comfy, and was a feasible distance into Boone. We loved that it was simple to get to, and that the area was peaceful and quiet. It was such a cozy place to stay for our long weekend! We are sad it's over. We would love to come back!

- Chris, Posted: 11/21/2023
This cabin was exquisite. The host has thought of every possible way to make their guests feel comfortable, content, and happy with their stay. The cabin is encapsulated by gorgeous views of the North Carolina Mountains; this makes for such a wonderful experience when reading with a hot tea or morning cup of coffee. The hot tub was extremely comfortable and is the best hot tub we have encountered in our many cabin experiences. The attention to detail-including adorable pumpkins-put this cabin into another realm of sheer perfection. We will always look back fondly on the time we spent at this cabin.
- Brandie, Posted: 11/02/2023

My wife and I love to stay in tiny homes, let me just say this tiny home is by far the best one we have stayed in . The house was clean , unique and very modern. It was in a great location in my opinion and the views were amazing from inside the house. We have even discussed about coming back and staying during the fall / winter !
- Brian, Posted: 08/28/2023
Great Property, great management! Will definitely be coming back!

- D., Posted: 05/22/2023
Seriously one of the best places we've ever stayed. Definitely the best in Boone, and we've visited 5+ times. We loved watching a storm from the big bedroom windows! Our pups loved it too. It even smells amazing :)

We really enjoyed our stay at this beautiful cabin! Definitely would recommend to people looking for a romantic stay in Banner Elk :)
- Emma, Posted: 02/13/2023
This is an amazing place with beautiful views. The large windows and sliding doors provided lots of light and air to flow into the home, which felt like were both indoors/outdoors at the same time. The amenities were all there and even used the hot tub on our cold winter days. Its close to lots of activities, and restaurants that we also got to enjoy while we were there. I wish we could replicate the home for ourselves, as the floor plan and decorations were top-notch. Would visit again!
- Dhaval, Posted: 01/12/2023
We had a beautiful and snowy stay at Little Bear. The house was beautifully decorated and designed, a perfect modern minimalism home. It was an ideal spot for us to be snowed in for the holidays. The hot tub overlooks grandfather mountain, as does the view from the living room windows. You won’t regret staying here!
- Angie, Posted: 01/02/2023
We loved our stay at little bear. It was a dreary few days but we loved the cozy feel of the interior. The hot tub was a nice addition as well as the fireplace. All the details were perfect and the decorative accents were so lovely and modern. We definitely plan to stay again!!!
- Anna, Posted: 12/12/2022
Perfect space for our little family of 3 (+our pup). The house was gorgeous and not too far away from things to go out and explore! Highly recommend!
- Kristin, Posted: 12/12/2022
Little Bear Escape was the perfect getaway for us celebrating our first wedding anniversary. The scenery of the mountains was absolutely beautiful. We had a little visitor on our first night, there was a bear who came up on the porch to the window to say hi or check the place out lol probably not the first time I would say. The hot tub was a nice amenity and was so relaxing and peaceful in the woods. The place looked exactly as the photos and was very clean. We came to the area to check out Grandfather Mountain. Absolutely recommend driving or hiking that to see the views it has to offer. We could not have asked for a better stay and hosts. We will definitely be bragging to our friends and family about this place and coming back to visit!
- Kayla, Posted: 12/07/2022
We loved staying at Little Bear Escape. Everything was clean and very well decorated. It even smelled new. It was just the cutest tiny house. Our favorite part was the hot tub on cold nights. We loved being able to bring our dog. Would definitely recommend.
- Meredith, Posted: 11/15/2022
The house was adorable, the modern architecture and design offered an open floor plan with huge windows and gorgeous views. The furniture and decor were well appointed. The owners thought of all the details in terms of furnishings, as well as, amenities. Our vacation was so relaxing and we were in want of nothing. We will definitely return and encourage anyone to come enjoy this beautiful space. The location was also terrific, not far from either Banner Elk or Boone.
- Angela, Posted: 11/10/2022
We had such a wonderful stay at Little Bear Escape! Everything was perfect. The house was clean and had everything we needed for a few days away. Cozy and modern finishes with large windows that open to the outdoors allowed us to admire the foliage and enjoy the crisp fall mornings. At night, we enjoyed the outdoor fireplace and hot tub. It's quiet and close to downtown Banner Elk, Boone, and Blowing Rock. Lots of hiking and outdoor activities in the area. The fact that we were able to bring our dog along was a huge plus too. Book this place, you won't regret it!
- Heidi, Posted: 11/07/2022
Perfect stay & a great location between banner elk, Boone, and blowing rock. A unique setting and can't wait to visit again.
- Patrick, Posted: 10/20/2022
