Consistent Quality Experience

My family and I have stayed multiple times in the Bear and Bull units. Both are well kept and have the amenities you need for a comfortable stay. The location of the units is unbeatable for convenience to anything in downtown Blowing Rock. It is very nice to be able to walk to restaurants and other attractions, as during busy times, parking can be difficult to obtain around town.

Great place & perfect location!

Great rental right in the heart of downtown Blowing Rock! The place was exactly as advertised - updated, super clean, stocked kitchen, comfortable beds, and nice linens & towels. And we loved being able to walk to all of our favorite spots in downtown Blowing Rock. We'll definitely be back!

Karen is amazing!!

The property was walking distance to everything downtown. Quick drive to Appalachian Mountain for some snow boarding. Less than an hour drive to hikes with magnificent views of Linville Gorge, Tablerock Mtn, Hawksbill Mtn. The accomodations are top notch. Karen has created a book with all the reference material and menus you'll need. High quality furnishing and creativity abound. Don't miss the outdoor fireplace after walking back from dinner! This stay is simply a win!

Super easy check in and accommodations were immaculate which is not always the case with pet friendly places. Found a nice spot to walk our doodle that was pretty peaceful, by the elementary school. Shopping and restaurants right around the corner! Great weekend in Blowing Rock with our friends!

Fabulous location!

We come to Blowing Rock frequently and have wanted to stay at the Bear for a while. We were thrilled that it was available. It couldn’t be more convenient to downtown. And the place itself was great! Very clean, comfortable, and beautiful! We hope to spend a lot of time there in the future.

Great accommodations!

We loved staying here. The place was very clean and was perfect for our family visit to Blowing Rock. The kitchen was stocked for cooking, plenty of towels and sheets for our family and it was so nice to use the outdoor fireplace in the evening. Karen was great at communicating with us on any questions we had and quick to respond. We will definitely plan to come back and stay again. It's close to all the restaurants, shops and the park. The place had everything we need for our stay.
