Description Description
Welcome to 4 Bears Lodge in Banner Elk!

This three bedroom home is the perfect retreat in the mountains. Located a short hike to the Banner Elk Winery and nestled in the trees, enjoy the year round views of the mountains and foliage. On the main level, you'll find the open-concept living, dining and kitchen, with a wall of windows to take in the views. The gas log fireplace turns on and off with a simple wall switch, creating a cozy environment. Comfortable seating surrounds the fireplace and flat screen TV. The home has Skybest for TV, including multiple ESPN channels. In the kitchen there is ample counter space for meal prep and both a Keurig and a standard coffeepot. The bar has seating for two to complement the dining table with seating for six. Two bedrooms are on the main level, and there is a full bathroom with a tub/shower combination and double vanity in the hall for access. One bedroom has a queen bed, the other has two twin beds. A full washer and dryer are off the hall on the main level.

Upstairs is the loft with a foosball table, seating, and views out the picture window. There is a king bedroom upstairs and a full bathroom featuring an oversized soaking tub, a shower, and double vanity. Air conditioning keeps the home cool even in July, not that many need it with the mountain breezes!

The deck wraps around from the side entrance to the back, and has a mainlined gas grill and dining table. On the deck is a newly installed hot tub for up to six overlooking the valley view. On the grounds below is a fire pit with stacked chairs under the deck. 

Explore the area with a five minute drive to Banner Elk, or 15 minutes to the Mast General Store and Valle Crucis Community Park. Beech and Sugar Ski are each 15 minutes away.

Dogs are welcome for an additional rent of $25/night each.
AWD/4WD and possibly chains are needed in times of snow/ice. Please plan accordingly.
Firewood may be purchased at the time of booking, or by calling us with a week's notice. You receive two wrapped, kiln-dried bundles and a firestarter for $25 plus tax.

CANCELLATION POLICY - Bookings canceled with a 15+ day notice will receive a refund of the deposit.

Place was beautiful and exactly what we needed for our weekend in NC. We were there for our friends wedding in the mountains, and couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. Hot tub was a great bonus after a long day. Great communication from property management and very clean. Highly recommend

Great weekend of skiing
The property was beautiful, clean and easy to access (needed 4wd with snow but the owners communicated that clearly ahead of time so we were prepared) all in all a great Trip and we will try booking this property again if we are staying in the area!

4 Bears Lodge
The town of Boone was a lovely place. The cabin was up in the hills with a lovely view. Driving up and down the mountains was an adventure in my manual drive sport car. I would give it 4 just for the driving experience. The GPS took us most of the way to cabin. But direction given thru email and agent to the cabin was excellent. Once there the cabin was as beautiful as the views. There were other cabins occupied by the local residents. But there was plenty of space to feel separated. Gravel road and driveway to the house just made it feel more rural. Everything was clean, operated and nicely decorated. Plenty of space for at least 6 people with a beautiful walkout deck. Plenty of activities and eateries in the area within 30 minutes. Would definitely return and recommend to others. (5 stars)

This rental is 30 minutes from about everything which makes for a nice drive. Beautiful home to say the least and worth it for just a nice vacation away! And a nice surprise we’re board games beneath the tv console! That was a TREAT when unexpected.

Decor is just as pictured and accurate description. Plenty of rooms and beds. Loved the big windows made cabin seem bigger. Great location near restaurants and shops. My kids both really liked the cabin had privacy and a short drive to beech mountain slopes.

This cozy cabin is spacious, private and well kept. We went to enjoy winter skiing and we're happy with the short distances to the local ski mountains. While we were there, it snowed a significant amount of the house stayed warm and toasty with a stunning view outside. We would certainly return to this getaway home!

Beautiful property deep in the woods. very spacious and cozy home with a beautiful view of the mountains. not far from Elk Banner either. the hosts provided all the amenities you would need. I loved that the kitchen was already stocked with cooking tools. the fire pit was also a nice touch. the upstairs bed was very comfy (didn't use the other rooms). The fireplace was also a great touch and all you had to do was flip a switch to turn on. Great location not far from Grandfather Mountain and a lot of other great Blue Ridge Mountain attractions. I would stay again

Beautiful Views! Lovely Cabin!
Perfect cabin nestled in the mountain side for a large family! So peaceful. Loved sitting on the porch at night watching the stars and listening to the sounds of nature. The cabin was immaculate. The decor is just lovely. Our children enjoyed counting the many decorative bears located around the cabin. We enjoyed the little cafes in downtown Banner Elk and visiting the little nearby mountain town with it's nostalgic general store. Our children enjoyed mining for gems and brought home several colorful gems they're hoping to make into jewelry. Looking forward to vacationing here again next fall! Oh, and the fall leaves were spectacular!

We stayed here to celebrate two special events and we were thrilled with this cottage. The views were spectacular, and we would love to go back when the trees are in bloom. The home was decorated cute, well-furnished and all the little details were great. Highly recommend.
