The house we stayed at was very nice and located in a great place to acess Boone, Banner Elk and Blowing Rock , the back deck was spacious and provided an amazing view, it's also in a very quiet setting with plenty of space inside for your family. We would stay here again - Dennis A., April 2026 (review left under prior management)

We have stayed in Banner Elk 1-2 times per year for the past 5 years. This was a first stay and Napping Bear and we would not hesitate to stay again. The location is perfect for accessing Boone, Blowing Rock, downtown Banner Elk and Beach. We loved having the downstair den area to play family games at night while the baby slept upstairs away from the noise. There is a small, fenced area to let your dog out and the home is located just up the road from Mountain Dog Cafe, which has a wonderful dog park and great coffee. - Heather G., December 2025 (review left under prior management)

The cabin was as clean as a pin, we really enjoyed our stay. It was close to Tweetsie Railroad which was were we took our granddaughters. They had a blast. It was cool and rained just a little but not enough to slow us down. Would definitely stay there again. - William A., June 2026 (review left under prior management)

We enjoyed our stay very much. Liked the layout of the cabin, with upstairs for cooking and dining and a living area and the downstairs area for kids and adults to hang out and relax. The location was close to both Blowing Rock, Boone, and Banner Elk. Very close to Hawksnest snow tubing park, which is a must when we visit the area. The cabin was very cozy and felt like home away from home. There were eight of us staying (two families) and there was plenty of room for all of us to not feel on top of each other or in each other's space. The groundskeeper who came was very helpful, even though we did not request anything. Made sure we had propane so we could enjoy the gas "fire pit" outside and asked if there was anything else we nedded to make our stay enjoyable. The husbands loved the retro arcade game console downstairs and the poker table. We just cannot say enough about how we enjoyed staying here and will definitely be coming back if available. Thanks for the bonus coffee pods, welcome hot chocolate mix in the mason jar, and all the other little amenities that made this place feel like home for three days. - Johnna A., January 2026 (review left under prior management)

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Napping Bear Cabin! The cabin was cozy, adorable, and beautifully maintained, it truly felt like a home away from home. Every detail made it warm, comfortable, and inviting. The owners were incredibly kind, responsive, and helpful throughout our stay. They made everything easy and were always available if we had questions or needed recommendations. The location was perfect, close enough to enjoy all that Banner Elk has to offer, yet tucked away in a peaceful setting where we could relax and enjoy the mountain views. It was the ideal home base for exploring the area. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend Napping Bear Cabin to anyone looking for a relaxing mountain getaway. - Shelly Ann W., July 2026 (review left under prior management)

Everything was great for a quick weekend away. So glad we were able to find a place pet friendly. We enjoyed the deck in the evening by the firepit after checking out the nearby towns. We definitely enjoyed our stay. - Jodie H., May 2026 (review left under prior management)
