This was our second time booking this property for a family trip to tweetsie railroad. The excitement of hearing the train whistle is great for the little ones! We comfortably fit two families one family with an 18 month old upstairs in one room and another family of 4 with a 2 and 4 year old downstairs. The stairs to get to the property would not be good for someone with poor mobility but it worked fine for our families. Having the pack and play available is very nice! The back porch was nice to step out while others were napping. The adults used the hot tub after the children went to bed and everything was clean and working properly. We had a great time and used the grill as well. Everything was there that we needed.

Great location at App Mountain

Our Girl Scout troop enjoyed our stay at this property. So close to the mountain for skiing. We enjoyed the hot tub, fire place, and the bunk room so that the girls could all bunk together as a group.

Great Weekend for Stay

The Bear Pause is a wonderful cabin. My best friend and I were able to have a great relaxing time to just sit and reminisce. The hot tub was perfect and I would recommend this cabin to everyone. Can’t wait to book it again for my family.

Can't get a better location

I travel to Boone 3-4 times per year and I have yet to visit a property that has great views and is as easily accessible, yet this one checks both boxes. And being so close to both Boone and Blowing Rock means there is plenty to do within a very short drive. Great place!

Great view from deck!

The best part about the house is the view off the back deck. It was stunning and the sun never really hit the porch so we were always in the shade. We spent hours outside. I did think the kitchen needed better lighting. It was pretty dark in there.

Mountain getaway

Cozy, rustic, mountain cabin getaway with splendid views of the mountain range. Literally down the road from the App Mtn Ski resort. Appealed to the entire family with nearby towns of Boone and Blowing Rock. Had a great spring excursion and Dayna, our host, was very accomodating in arranging the schedule to fit. Thank you for a lifetime of memories!

Perfect Place for a Getaway

Amazing location, close to town and ski runs. Beautiful view from the deck. We enjoyed the fire pit and the hot tub nearly every evening. Super quiet and peaceful, we felt like we were the only ones enjoying this area of the mountain. Kitchen is well stocked, beds super comfy and the TV was easy to operate. We appreciated the holiday decorations and the complimentary firewood. We will be back again for sure!

Cozy, clean cabin.

Very nice clean cabin with all amenities provided. Communication with owner was excellent and very quick responses. The only negative is limited parking on side of main road and only being able to leave one bag of trash. This makes it difficult if cooking meals in cabin. And of the course the stairs getting down to cabin which we were aware of before booking.

Lovely stay at Bear Pause

Our booking crossed two owners as the property changed hands during our reservation and both owners, previous and new, couldn't of been nicer to work with. The cabin is in a perfect location if you are skiing App Mtn - walking distance to the entrance which allowed us to do lunch and dinner at the cabin between ski runs - and close to other town attractions including Blowing Rock, Sugar/Beech Mtn, and shopping. The cabin is nicely equipped and decorated (extra special touches for Christmas) and had everything we needed for a family ski trip getaway. Communication with the owner was easy, pleasant, and quick and we will definitely be back for our next trip to Blowing Rock! Thank you for sharing your home with us - we had a lovely stay!

We had an awesome vacation this past Thanksgiving, The cabin was a ton of fun. It was super clean and cozy, and a great layout for a family. The cabin was well stocked, and while the kitchen is small, we were able to cook our entire traditional Thanksgiving feast. And lastly, the views are amazing!
