About This Home
As of June 2025This idyllic log cabin offers everything you’ve been dreaming of in a mountain getaway. Nestled beside a rushing creek, you’ll love spending summer mornings sipping coffee on the front porch listening to the water flowing peacefully nearby. Spend your afternoons exploring the original Mast General Store, casting a line in the Watauga River, or taking a hike at Crab Orchard Falls, all within a couple miles of your cabin. As you step into this gorgeous cabin you will be wowed by the stunning stacked stone fireplace inviting you to cozy up for an evening by the fire. The kitchen features beautiful cabinetry and stone accents that add to the rustic mountain vibe. The ideal floorplan has a large primary bedroom on the main level, plus its own en suite bath complete with a gorgeous tiled walk in shower. Upstairs you will find a generous loft, two spacious bedrooms and a large bath with another tiled walk in shower. Step outside and discover your own personal oasis. Enjoy a dip in the hot tub, grill with friends, or simply unwind on the front porch and enjoy the refreshing cool mountain air. There’s ample parking for multiple vehicles, and even space to add a detached garage if desired. When it’s time to explore, you’ll love being just a short drive from Boone, Blowing Rock, or Banner Elk, each offering their own unique dining and shopping experiences and charm. Enjoy hiking along the Blue Ridge Parkway or in the nearby Linville Gorge, skiing at Sugar and Beech Mountains, and taking in the vibrant year round festivals and activities that make this region so special. Whether you're looking for your own getaway or a proven rental investment, Bears Creek delivers. This home has a strong rental history through Blue Ridge Mountain Rentals, with plenty of room to grow. Creekside cabins in the heart of Valle Crucis are a rare find, and this one is truly a gem.
