Nestled in Valle Crucis, Banner Elk, NC, this 3-story traditional log home offers vaulted ceilings, hardwood floors, and handmade furniture. Whether you’re looking to relax or explore, this is your perfect mountain retreat. Perfect for families, friend groups, and multi-generational getaways looking to reconnect, relax and make memories.

Location:
Honey Bear Cabin sits in a beautifully appointed neighborhood in Valle Crucis, yet remains tucked away in its own private, secluded area. You're about 4 miles from the heart of Valle Crucis and 4 miles from Highway 105, putting you within easy reach of Sugar Mountain, Boone, Beech Mountain, Grandfather Mountain, Tweetsie Railroad, Appalachian State, the Mast General Store, local wineries, breweries, and more. Most main attractions are within a 30-minute drive, many are much closer.

LAYOUT:

Main Floor:
The spacious main floor features a King bedroom with an ensuite bath, a fully stocked kitchen, a dining area, a cozy living room, and a half bath. A double-sided fireplace adds warmth and charm to the living and dining spaces. It's the kind of space that invites slow mornings and big family dinners.

Lower Floor:
Two queen bedrooms, each with their own private bath, giving couples or families the privacy they need. The game room is also on the lower floor featuring a queen-size pullout couch, foosball, a card table with blackjack setup, a Pac-Man arcade and a variety of board games, making it easy for kids (and adults) to disappear into their own world while the rest of the group unwinds upstairs. Rainy days are no problem, there’s endless entertainment for everyone. A laundry room rounds out this level.

Loft Area:
The loft area, open to the living space below, has two twin beds that are perfect for additional guests or kids.

Amenities:
All four bedrooms, the living room, and the game room are equipped with smart TVs and Roku devices. The cabin is adorned with beautiful handmade furnishings and artwork from local artisans.

Outdoor Space:
The outside of this cabin is where the fun really happens. The wraparound porch is lined with rocking chairs, perfect for morning coffee. The swing fire pit is a gathering point after dark for S'mores or if you're feeling adventurous, a pot of chili . Hammocks hang seasonally in the trees. The hot tub is ready year-round. And between the horseshoes, cornhole, and giant Jenga, there's rarely a dull moment. A Weber grill along with another fire pit sits on the back porch, perfect for two people to enjoy a glass of wine before bed. It’s the perfect setting for outdoor fun or quiet relaxation.

We’ve thoughtfully crafted our cabin to be a welcoming, cozy, and a comfortable space for relaxation and quality time together. Whether you’re here to unwind or explore, you’ll feel right at home.

During colder and snowy seasons, we strongly recommend using a vehicle with all-wheel or 4-wheel drive. Guests are responsible for being prepared for winter driving conditions, and we are unable to offer refunds or rescheduling due to weather-related travel issues and/or lack of driving a AWD or 4WD.

HEADS UP: The last 2 miles to the cabin sustained hurricane damage and the NC DOT is currently working on widening and paving the road. This road switches between gravel and pavement. The roads aren’t super curvy or steep, but they are country roads, so if you’re not used to mountain driving, especially at night, it can feel a little off the beaten path. That said, if driving on a gravel or back road makes you nervous, keep that in mind when booking.

* Please note that the distances shown on VRBO's map feature are measured in a straight line rather than actual road travel distances and times. We cannot change their setting for this, and encourage all guests to independently verify distances to desired destinations.
* Trash pick-up provided, guests do not need to take trash offsite unless, you have an abundance of trash that will not fit in bear proof trash cans.
* Start-up supplies provided that will last a few days
* Lawn service is every other Thursday afternoon for approximately 10-15 min. If this will interrupt your stay please let me know and I’ll try to reschedule this service.
* Two miles of gravel road (paving coming soon).
* We manage our property remotely, so we have exterior cameras positioned toward the parking area and trash cans.

There are absolutely no cameras inside the home, facing inside the home, or toward any gathering areas. We value our guests’ privacy and do not monitor these cameras in real-time.
