Our stay at Ursa Minor was incredible. The house was impeccable, the views were great and the check in process was seamless. I appreciated the text and email updates regarding the address and pass code as well as early check in. Our trip was so much fun and the ease of this rental process certainly helped us relax and enjoy our time!

We had an amazing stay at Ursa Minor! It was perfect for a getaway of 2 families with young kids! The bunk room, hot tub and game room were a favorite of the kids and the porch and beautiful decor were loved by the parents! We would certainly return! Thank you for the great stay!

Visit to the Highland Games
My family and I enjoyed our long weekend stay while attending the nearby Grandfather Mountain Highland Games. Though we were out and about most of the time when we were at the cabin the kids greatly enjoyed the foosball table and beanbag chairs in the "hang out" area.
