5 Bears Cabin - Wooded cabin w/ hot tub, arcade games, pool table, fire pit

Hot Tub | Arcade Games | Pool Table | Fire Pit

🐻 5 Bears Cabin, a cozy, family friendly log cabin (3 BR / 3 BA), a hidden gem tucked away in a woodland setting in Banner Elk. This beautiful cabin is located just two minutes from the center of the charming town of Valle Crucis, and a very short drive over to Boone, Blowing Rock, and Banner Elk!
This cabin is made for memory-making – whether you're roasting marshmallows by the fire, sharing laughs in the bubbling hot tub, or enjoying a cozy movie night inside. With space to spread out and come together, it's the perfect sport for reconnecting with family and friends. Every corner invites relaxation, fun, and moments you'll want to relive again and again.
Nestled in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, on a quiet private street. Perched at 3000 feet elevation, enjoy peaceful surroundings, wildlife, seasonal mountain views while listening to the river. A true nature retreat, yet only a short distance to parks, hiking trails, golfing, skiing/snowboarding, wineries & more. The perfect blend of seclusion & convenience.
THE SPACE:
🍽 Modern Kitchen
The fully equipped kitchen is ideal for cooking meals at home, with stainless steel appliances, and granite countertops. A Keurig and drip coffee maker, so you can craft your perfect cup, whether it's a bold morning brew or a sweet afternoon treat.

🌿 Covered Patio & Outdoor Living
Step outside to one of the covered decks or enclosed porch, perfect for relaxing rain or shine. Outfitted with comfortable seating, and views of the trees, it's a peaceful spot to enjoy morning coffee, a quiet read, or an evening drink.
