This was a wonderful setting for our family of eight -0 including three grandchildren ages 9, 7 & 5. The five year old said, "I wish I could wrap my arms around this house and hug it." Her 7 year old brother said "this is the 2nd best vacation ever" (Disney World was his 1st choice). The 9 year old said "I liked the PS2 and the bed in the loft" My husband said "it has super decor and everything was outstanding."
I liked the little bark magazine racks and the wastebaskets. The antler-wood block lamps were neat - also the tree-lined drawer pulls - the swing on the front porch, the hot tub and really - everything.
Lucas our middle granson counted 72 animals! Your housekeepers really clean thoroughly. We appreciate it. Thanks again.

We have never stayed in such a warm and inviting home. We are so happy that our French guest was able to experience the mountains of NC in such a unique and original way. With its convenient location and charming decorations, Bear Necessities made our family vacation memorable. Thank you!

This is a beautifaul cabin and we had a great family vacation for us! The mountains are a magical place and hold special meaning for us as my husband and I got engaged on the "mile high bridge" at Grandfather Mountain. We had the pleasure of bringing our 6 and 4 year old boys with us and your cabin was great place to call home! We loved that it was so warm and welcoming and whimisical - and that we could see Grandfather Mtn at every turn! We hope others make great family memories here as well!

I really enjoyed my time here at this cabin. The game room was comfortable and fun to play. This is a really fantastic cabin and I hope other people enjoy their stay here as well - Sam
Being in this cabin with my family was a real vacation. I loved it and felt like I was home. It was perfect, especially the back porch - Patti
The cabin was very cool. The gameroom was awesome because I got to play in their most of the time. The rhino head was very awesome too - Mara
This place was outstanding. Our family really enjoyed being in a home instad of a motel room. I've always loved the mountains. This place is a calm atmosphere which I really enjoyed - S.

What a beautiful, cozy home with all the character one could ever ask for! Our family needed a nice relaxing week at the mountains and could not have asked for more relaxation and comfort! I loved the trip to Grandfather Mountain, berakfast at the Grandview Restaurant, and shopping locally! When we returned back home sitting on the back porch and watching the birds was truly getting in touch with nature. The walks around the neighborhood were enjoyable as well.
We will certainly be back next year and tell all of our friends about it! Thank you for sharing thsi beautifaul home with our family

What a lovely house! We just love Bear Necessities. The snowy conditions have kept us inside, but we are enjoying all of the comforts of the cabin. Hopefully we'll come back year after year!
This home makes us want a mountain cabin of our own!
Love the giant rhino head, the monkeys, the zebra bathroom and the bear on teh front porch! he's great. It's mountain cabin meets safari - wild! Also - the frozen mugs in teh freezer are awesome! and the hot tub!

The best Thanksgiving ever!
This was a halfway meeting point for all of my family - so we decided to come here for Thanksgving. Both our son and son-in-law, Marine Corps pilots, are scheduled for deployments in 2009. This was the last time we would all be together for a year. So we made the most of it. We played games, soaked in the hot tub, hiked, played cards, cooked, ate, went to Grandfather Mountain. We spent a day in Blowing Rock, and each went home with a Christmas tree on top of our cars! We will have magical memories of the week we spent in your cabin. Thank you for the Christmas decorations! We were so blessed to be able to start our hoildays together in the perfect cabin.

We are renting cabin first time, and were very surprised how beautiful this home is, and how well it is maintained. Everthing is provided, and the best way - the design is gorgeous. The sight is wonderful.
Thanks a lot to house owner for creativitiy and great care.
All our kids were excited and happy, and didn't want to leave - we either!
We all love this cabin and hope to get here again.

The Stevenson Clan had a wonderful time at Bear Necessities. It is very unique and comfortable - but the little grandson from a previous visit still needs to count further - we counted 34 animals in the master bath alone - we didn't try farther. It was fun and we really enjoyed it - hope to return.

What a beautiful cabin with a great view. We will definitely be back to stay again. Our children really enjoyed their first visit to the mountains. It snowed all day on Saturday. It was a great day of skiing except for the high winds. We look forward to another stay at Bear Necessities!

Great cabin! Enjoyed our stay immensely. It snowed all day our 2nd day here. No accumulation but beautiful. Enjoyed the outlets in Blowing Rock. Really like the decor, very unique and memorable. Like the fully equipped kitchen. Can't think of anything we needed and didn't already have. The fire was nice & warm! Nice view of the lake. Loved every minute of our trip, hate to leave and return to work life. Many thanks for offering your beautiful cabin. Happy Holidays!

What a perfect weekend cabin! We had a great time! We love your decorations, the abundant living space, and beautiful setting. This is the nicest, cleanest cabin we have ever stayed in for our annual family mountain weekend. We were amazed at how you had provided for everything we could possibly need. We will definitely be back!

We were here for a couples weekend getaway. We have been disappointed with cabins in the past, mostly because of cleanliness. We were overjoyed with this cabin. It was perfect for us. It was a great place to visit with each other and go see the sights. Loved how we didn't have to pack the kitchen sink to bring with us. Very affordable! Thanks for sharing your home.

We've been up here a dozen times and this has been the best. I feel at home here yet on vacation. Really enjoyed the fireplace and jacuzzi. While here we skied both Beech & Sugar, the latter our favorite. We successfully caught several trout for dinner. We also visited Mystery Hill in Blowing Rock. Besides fully utilizing the kitchn here we also enjoyed steaks at Stonewalls in Banner Elk and past at Casa Rustica in Boone. Anways, lots of room, nice surroundings, lots of fun. Our best time here yet! Thanks!!
