Bear Bungalow - 1 mile from Main Street Blowing Rock! Hot Tub - Pet Friendly - Fenced In Yard

Located only 1 mile from Main Street, Blowing Rock and the Blue Ridge Parkway, the Bear Bungalow offers ultimate convenience, yet is nestled in a rhododendron grove for complete privacy.

Guests are greeted by two bears, "Beulah" and "Buford", hand carved from western ponderosa pine by artist Chris Smart. The front door is native wormy chestnut. The bungalow was created by a professional designer to provide guests with a unique "turn-key" environmental experience.

The living area features a wood-burning fireplace and a Bose surround sound DVD/CD/AM/FM entertainment system with a 32" HDTV. Casual leather upholstery, coordinated colors and fabrics, slate floors, solid wood tables and "hibernating bear" end tables complete the furnishings. The fully equipped kitchen features solid maple cabinets, a solid surface granite countertop, accent lighting and a solid surface range top for easy clean up.

Sleeping accommodations are provided with a King bed in one room and a Queen in the other with the bathroom between. Remote control TVs with built in VHS and DVD players are provided in both bedrooms (no cable in the Queen bedroom).

Walk through the French doors on to a private spacious deck and enjoy the Hot Springs hot tub, gas grill and sitting areas. Or stroll through the fenced back yard and relax and enjoy the mountain atmosphere.

Tweetsie Railroad is only 4 miles away, Appalachian Ski Mountain is 5 miles, and ASU and Boone are 9 miles. Downtown Blowing Rock is just a mile and a half away. Please note that this home has more than ten stairs to enter the main level.

Please contact us for our cancellation policy.
Firewood may be purchased at the time of booking or with a week's notice. You receive two wrapped, kiln-dried bundles and a fire starter for $25 plus tax per night.

Private setting
This cabin was great for a secluded getaway. It was older but well maintained. Hot tub was about the same. This property is advertised as dog friendly but you can’t have dogs greater than 15lbs and fenced in yard isn’t completely fenced in, which is not super helpful for letting the dogs out to run. Overall a good property and great location. Would stay here again

Nice cabin in the woods
This home is well maintained and cozy. It was a nice weekend getaway for my husband and I. The hot tub was a nice added bonus. The 2 things I would change would be to have a fire pit in the backyard and a working fireplace inside (a gas fireplace would be lovely!). Other than that, it was a very comfortable home with all the amenities needed.

Not bad, not quite all good
Two reasons to book. Fenced yard...yes, but no gate to close off area completely. Hot tube...must have been somewhere between 70 and 80 degrees on arrival. Was eventually "warm" the next day. Never got near "hot". Otherwise the place was clean and comfortable. A short drive to Blowing Rock itself.

Nice Quiet Cabin
Location was great. Simple check in. Clean and cozy. Hot tub was ready when we got there. No complaints or surprises and management was responsive and gave us all the information we needed well before check-in. Would stay again.

Enjoyable stay and bungalow, issue with hot tub not working until the last day and only used the fire place once because of smoke coming into the cabin and setting alarms off

Good, bad a d ugly
Interior was decent and very clean. Exterior maintenace bad. Ice covered all the steps going up to entrance and front of landing. After telling Proprty Mngmnt 2nd day with conversations going into 4th day. I gave up and we shoveled the steps. Nothing was done by Property Mngmnt. Also there was dog poop on side deck along with branches and twigs and the hot tub was unstrapped, branches/twigs which were also on cover of hot tub. After I cleaned it off I opened the top(it was unstraped) and there were a few leaves in bottom. This leads me to believe the chemicals were probably not kept up so as much as I wanted to use the hot tub I felt the water was probably not clean enough. Exterior maintenance was basically non existent. Property Management did nothing to correct the situation.

Nice Place, Rough Start with Management
We would stay again. Place was incredibly clean, newly reno(?) & well appointed. Hot tub worked great and was ready for us when we arrived. Would be nice if fenced backyard had a light and gate, but nice to have dog with us. Fireplace, frig, kitchen… everything spotless and made us feel comfortable. Front lamppost was not working, so coupled with dark (steep) backyard, bring a flashlight (although I think they had one). Chairs on front porch for view were okay, but nice rockers would be great. The bear theme, right down to carved bear pillars and furniture were spectacular. Small but Cozy as advertised The only thing preventing 5 stars was our early encounter with management (Blue Ridge Mountain Rentals). They only use VRBO for initial contact. They then hound you rather harshly for signed contract; inundate you with automated emails and paperwork designed for ALL properties, (eg, “IF you have lockbox, hot tub, dog…); over-lawyered disclaimers; threatened to cancel reservation if not pay within 24 hours of notice … even though our pmt/contact info on VRBO - which had different invoice?!. When confronted, mgt denounced VRBO and AirBNB saying we should read fine print. Poor first impressions and customer service, especially the large volume, cookie cutter, sloppy communications approach. The local staff on arrival seemed much better. The heat struggled on a cold night, but emergency heat worked great that night and trip, and tech was sent next day to ensure okay. The firewood we prepaid for was not there on arrival, but they brought it (plus extra) the next day. The fire starters that come with wood are okay, but advise you bring some Duraflame logs to avoid constantly stoking or restarting fire. Yes, they had large fire lighter; nice, thanks! Special thanks to Jessica who was responsive and very pleasant to work with. We tried to stay extra night at discount as they advertise, but someone beat us to it. Fair enough. Location is good. Not top notch neighborhood and camper/trucks parked behind you. But location at end of street, plus evergreen shrubbery gives you plenty of privacy. While maybe only 1.5 miles from downtown shops (which are wonderful — eat at Speckled Trout!), it’s too hilly to hike unless young and don’t plan to haul back a lot of goodies! Moderate view from front porch. Pleasant but not breathtaking. Again, we would visit again. Just wiser and ready for robo-booking/confirm process.
