Our family loved everything about this house. It's not often that a vacation rental is better than the pictures, but that is absolutely the case with Bear Trail. The house is gorgeous and perfect for an extended family, and the views are amazing and the sunrise is stunning! Also our 1.5 and 3 yr old grandkids loved the teddy bears!

A beautiful property that met all of our needs and more. The home was super clean, comfy, and fun. Our favorite part was the huge back porch and watching the gorgeous sunrise over the mountains every morning. Thank you for opening your home to us.

Fabulous Home

The house was fabulous. It was large, well laid out and tastefully decorated. Wonderful view from the deck and the home had everything we needed for our weekend getaway. We had 4 couples on this trip and it accommodated us perfectly. The house is situated in a nice gated community and it’s equally close to Boone and Blowing Rock.

Really Nice Reatreat

My family and a couple of friends stayed in Boone for my daughter’s graduation. The property was lovely and comfortable. We mostly cooked and ate in, relaxing and spending time together, apart from the graduation festivities. We particularly enjoyed the deck and hot tub. I will say I slept better and more comfortably than at home, ( it was nice to get a break from pets). I would highly recommend this property.

Absolutely stunning property

This was our annual girlfriends getaway trip. Boone and Blowing Rock did not disappoint. But we could have just stayed home at this gorgeous house. The views. The comfortable furniture. Cozy bed linens and mattresses. Clean clean clean. It was all too perfect. The house could accommodate more than five ladies. But we woke up to sunrises out the back that take your breath away. And the shoppes. Oh my. The restaurants were all very very good too. 5.5 hours from Louisville. Definitely going to come back another year. We had one minor issue with the volumn on the TV and the gas fireplace and Stacy the manager was right on it. Book it!!!

Very clean, good views, lighting a little dark in kitchen and dining area. A nice house.

Rental company employee called late in evening with inaccurate information regarding property the week of rental. We called back next day to cancel because of that information and had to leave a message. We did not receive a call back until 2 days later in the evening before our rental. So we proceeded with the rental basically having no choice and that's how we learnef that the information we were provided regarding the home was inaccurate. In the end, all that stress and worry was for nothing and the rental was just fine. The management company needs to ensure their people have accurate information regarding the homes that are being rented and their employees should be respectful of the times they call and returning their calls.

Great house!

We spent five days here and got lucky to hit peak leaf week for the first time in several years. The house is fantastic. Such a nice touch to get early check in and the fireplace is on and jazz music is playing in the background. Great food. Enjoyed the deck so much. Loved being so close to town yet still had extraordinary views. Wonderful quiet neighborhood. We will definitely be back!!!!

Family time

Property is really nice and comfortable. Nice floor plan and the view is spectacular. The only complaint my family had were the upstairs beds. We’re not as comfortable as hoped. The other beds were very comfortable. The only other negative is only 2 bags of trash allowed. We found we were so busy we could not get to the trash dump. Our cars were too packed to take the trash overflow so we had to leave money for additional bags left. Would still rent the property again.

Bear Trail was in immaculate condition and the amenities were every thing we were looking to have.

Renting process was seamless and host left wonderful and clear instructions. Only heads up would be while gravel walk way to front door was beautiful it did make challenging to take in luggage. However, if staying in the basement you have direct access through garage without steps. We would love to stay again!!

Amazing house

We LOVED this house. The view, the location, the hot tub, the size of the place. It was all amazing. I would love to stay here again, but it is a little pricey. The only complaints I have: we were told we had to bring our own hot tub towels, so we all wasted sooo much space in our bags, only to find a large basket full of towels labeled “hot tub towels.” Also, we were told we’d only have 2 small parking spots for cars, so we all squeezed into 2 cars, only to find that there are two spots in the garage we also could have used. I would highly recommend updating the rules and the posting to reflect these things. Otherwise, great place and great customer service.
