Welcome to Cozy Bear Cabin! This beautiful 3-story log cabin is located on the outskirts of Boone in the beautiful private community of River Ridge. It has spectacular views to be enjoyed throughout all seasons! Just a short (.4 mile) walk away, guests can view the New River. There are also several local tubing outfitters nearby. New River is believed to be one of the oldest rivers in the world. It's placid, slow-flowing waters wind through bucolic farmlands, past grassy meadows and rugged hillsides. Its banks are covered with wildflowers in season, and good trout and bass fishing can be had right from the bank!

Access to this home is easy as all of the roads are paved. The driveway is also paved and has enough parking for five vehicles. Enter into the main level via two small steps. Once inside, be greeted with an open floor plan between the kitchen, dining room and living room.

The kitchen has beautiful granite countertops and stainless steel appliances. The kitchen is fully stocked and the homeowner has taken extra measures to ensure guests have everything they need to cook meals including a drip coffee maker, coffee grinder, small electric vegetable chopper, blender, and pancake griddle.There is also a five burner gas range! The dining room table seats eight and the island seats four with barstools.There is also a "starter set" of paper products at the house: a roll of toilet paper per bath, several garbage bags, a small vial of dishwashing liquid, a few tablets of dishwasher detergent, some laundry pods, a roll of paper towels, hand soap, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and some makeup remover cloths. There are enough of these items for one night, or maybe two. We do not provide hair dryers. Towels and linens will be provided
