Welcome to Bear Claw Cabin!

Your entire family will love being so close to EVERYTHING when staying at our centrally located, custom log home. In the heart of High Country, located across from the Watauga River, it’s only 16 min to Sugar Mountain, and less than 30 mins to both Beech Mountain and Grandfather Mountain! Our spacious yet cozy cabin has 2 rec rooms and a hot tub to help everyone take a break from those fun filled days hiking, biking, skiing, tubing, college football watching, winery touring, and brewery hopping!

A luxurious log home with vaulted ceilings, hardwood flooring and a wood-burning stone fireplace. A full, open kitchen, separate dining area, two living rooms, air hockey and ping pong tables, a hot tub, and plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms for large groups!

Master bedroom with king bed and ensuite bath featuring claw foot tub and granite counter top are on the main level. The guest bedroom offers a full bed and a half bath, also located on the main level.

The top floor features two large bedrooms: one with a queen bed, the other with twin bunk beds and a third twin, and a full bath in the hall. A loft on the third level overlooks the stunning living room.

The lower level has a comfy family room with a large flat screen tv and Sony sound system, second master with king bed and private full bath, and a game room with air hockey, pac man arcade game, pool table, ping pong table, foos ball and an indoor fireplace.

The kitchen offers solid cherry cabinets, granite counter tops, and all stainless steel appliances. A modern washer and dryer set is located in the laundry room located off the kitchen.

Also located off of the kitchen, a deck adorned with rocking chairs, leads to the hot tub. Two smaller decks are located off of the main level living area, with a grill and seating areas. Guests are sure to feel cozy at Bear Claw Cabin!

This beautifully maintained home is located in the ever popular Valle Crucis. It is right across from the Watauga River with deeded access rights for guests to use the river.

When venturing away from the cabin, guests are only minutes away from Valle Crucis Community Park and Mast General Store. Less than 30 minutes to Grandfather Mountain, Appalachian State University, Tweetsie Railroad, Sugar Mountain, Beech Mountain, Julian Price Memorial Park, Downtown Blowing Rock, Downtown Boone, many wineries, breweries, restaurants and shopping!

Making memories with loved ones.
This property was clean and spacious. It is great for kids, family and friends. It has many things to do indoors. It also has a jacuzzi and fire pit outdoors where we enjoyed making smores. The owner is easy to get in touch with and access to the place was also very simple. My family and friends loved our stay and recommend it.

Beautiful mountain home for family.
Beautiful home that is large enough for a family get together. Everyone could spread out and play games or enjoy the hot tub. Easy location between all the attractions.

Love the house, lots of space and beautifully decorated! It rained a lot so we didn’t get to spend much time outside, we did enjoy the hot tub for an hour or so. The kids and adults loved the game room! We all had a blast in there. Overall a great weekend!! Thank you for all your help and kindness!!!

Charming cabin in a lovely community!
My family had a wonderful time at this cabin and the surrounding area. We had ages 2 to 79 years old in our group — the cabin served us well, and there are a lot of family-friendly activities nearby. The game room is awesome!!! Plenty of space to spread out in the house. Heads up, the floors upstairs are creaky. Rachel was an excellent host; she was very responsive and addressed our concerns quickly.

Cozy Home
We went to Beech and Sugar Mountain skiing with our kids. The proximity to each was great as well as it's location to Boone. We all had an amazing time. Rachel was the best host... Quick and helpful communication. The home was very comfortable and cozy. We really enjoyed the hot tub and the fire pit out back! Thanks for a wonderful stay and the opportunity to make great family memories. :-)

The best place to stay in Boone
This property was amazing, so much room for everyone, nice and clean with lots of fun games to play. The ping pong table even got our teens off their devices! The location was great, close to downtown and the owner made the whole process easy. They even left my son’s favorite candy as a welcome gift. He was thrilled. We’d love to stay here again.

Bear Claw Cabin
Our family of 12 had a wonderful time staying at this beautiful cabin. With the 3 floors and 4 porches, it gave plenty room to spread out and enjoy some alone time. The hot tub was great to relax even though the weather was a little nippy. The owners were very friendly and helped with all our questions and quick to respond. We found that shopping, parks, restaurants, lots of attractions and the mast general store was a short drive. Great area to visit.

Spacious cabin - great for multiple families!
We enjoyed a long weekend in Boone with family - the three floors were laid out perfectly for our needs. Lots to do in the house - and close by to many activities. Owners were great with making suggestions for activities and restaurants; as well as communicating in advance and during our stay. A great visit!

Great Spring Break!
We had a wonderful time staying here. We had plenty of room for all of us with much to keep the kids busy- ping pong, air hockey and the hot tub were faves! The views from the porches were beautiful and the sounds of nature and the river below were so relaxing. Thanks for providing a comfortable and cozy home to spend our spring break in!
