About this property

Little Bear Escape - Stunning custom 1BR with hot tub between Boone and Banner Elk! Pet friendly!

Little Bear Escape is a custom built single-bedroom luxury cabin and is just down the road from its larger counterpart 'Big Bear Escape'. Privately located off the road, it's perfect for those looking for a romantic getaway surrounded by nature. This luxury cabin offers seasonal mountain views and is conveniently located between Boone and Banner Elk with just a short drive to either.

Enter the main level of this spacious home from the parking area up just 6 steps to a large floating deck. The front door opens into the spacious great room which features a large mounted smart TV, a queen pull-out couch and a cozy wood burning fireplace. The floor to ceiling windows paired with high ceilings and multiple skylights make you feel that you are truly a part of the surrounding forest landscape while offering stunning seasonal views of Grandfather Mountain.

On the south side of the great room is the dining area with comfortable seating for 4 and forest views through the large windows. Adjacent to the dining area is the fully-equipped kitchen featuring a custom built island, stainless steel appliances, soft-closing cabinets and high quality silverware, knives, and cookware.

Down the hall toward the east side of the main level is a stacked washer & dryer, a full bathroom with a walk in shower, and the entrance to the spacious master suite. This suite features a king bed with hotel quality sheets, a large walk-in closet, and large mounted smart TV.

Outside is a large floating deck equipped with a ski lift swinging bench, outdoor dining table and a ceramic chiminea where you can enjoy the peaceful sounds of nature and enjoy the views of the mountains and sunsets. Just steps away is a brand new four-person hot tub nestled along the tree line with a fantastic view. For those traveling with a larger group and need more space, Big Bear Escape is located on the same road and is approximately 100 yards away.

Little Bear
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!

Great lil spot!!
We really enjoyed the property! It was close to restaurants and activities in Banner Elk. Perfect size for a couple and small dog. We enjoyed the hot tub and outdoor fireplace. Had some trouble with ventilation indoors with the fireplace so we had to keep the windows open while we had the fire going. We always pick up after our dog, but there was a down the road neighbor with several dogs that were unleashed and unsupervised doing their business on the property. So if you bring your dog, just beware of other dogs in the area. Driving up to the cabin is a small road, gravel for most of it which may be difficult in winter months.

The cabin was clean and well designed. Beautifully decorated and the kitchen was well equipped. The hot tub was clean and the outdoor seating was comfortable and adequate. There was plenty of towels in the bathroom and the bed was comfortable.
