Our group/family of 15 stayed for the weekend and had a wonderful time. The kids loved having their own space to hang out downstairs. We had plenty of room and really enjoyed our stay.

The service Blue Ridge Rentals provided were awesome. The home was exactly as the site stated. The amenities were all close to the home.
All 15 of us were very happy with the time we spent together at the awesome cabin.

This tired and worn out home greeting us with dirty floors and pet hair everywhere. We are a family of 14 and the number of bedrooms were perfect for us. We have a handicapped grandson in a wheelchair so before we took him out to roll around on the floors we had to vacuum and sweep. There was an abundance of dog slobber dried on the glass doors along with dried food and handprints. Being a past host the condition was unacceptable. Food crumbs in the silverware tray and the sheets appeared to have been slept in. Some of the towels had dark stains on them. The space needs updated and deep cleaned. The view was stunning and the hot tub was great for our family. The pool table and foosball table were fun as well. The home just felt very neglected and tired. New carpet and some fresh paint could be helpful. The size was perfect though.

Best Views Ever
Our rental had the most amazing views. We'd sit on that back porch every morning and evening. Super easy to get to Boone or Blowing Rock. The amount of bedrooms and space was perfect for us. Maybe an extra sofa or seating downstairs? Hot tub was definintly an added bonus for the young adults.

Bears Eye View-Perfect Family Gathering Home
We had an amazing time at Bears Eye View! We had a group of 9 adults and 2 children that gathered to celebrate my father's 80th birthday. The house was gorgeous and the perfect size for us. Plenty of open spaces to gather in smaller groups; large back porches (yes, there are 2!) with a hot tub and grill, family room with a pool table, large dining room table, outdoor fire pit, and an open kitchen that allowed those who were cooking/preparing meals to join in on conversation. We enjoyed every amenity the house offered and everything was in excellent condition. The house was neat and tidy, and all those bathrooms allowed everyone to get up and ready in a reasonable timeframe. We really appreciated the first floor master bedroom with a king size bed. My father is 6'2" and has difficulties using the stairs so he was able to stay on the main floor and just walk out of his bedroom to gather with everyone in the living room/kitchen. It was a breeze to gain access to the house and I always received a prompt response when we had questions and requested a later check out time. Of course the very best part of this house was the view! We will remember this trip for a very long time.

Celebrating Christmas in the Mountains
We had three generations of family celebrating Christmas, and it was amazing. Lots of room for everyone to sit and talk or play games. I was impressed that the kitchen was stocked with all the pots, pans, and even a meat thermometer that I needed to cook Christmas dinner. Everyone from babies to grandma had fun. If you are bringing babies a baby gate would be useful for the stairs, but we made due without one. My only minor complaint is that the kitchen is pretty dark at night and could benefit from a little more lighting. Overall this was a wonderful property with an amazing view. I'm so glad we stayed here.

It was real, it was fun!
Property was amazing, loved every bit of it. It was just close enough to town to allow easy access for other fun activities but enough of in the mountains to really get away.

Beautiful view!
It was a great property, and the rental company accommodated our early check in. The one thing that we asked the rental company to work on in the future was cleanliness upon arrival, but otherwise the place was great!

Long weekend in Blowing Rock
The house was great for 4 couples and a preteen. Great views and the house was in perfect shape. The AC went out just prior to our arrival and the management company worked with us to make it as good as we could get it. Still had a great trip, perfect for the location

Wonderful Getaway
This is an excellent property. It was very clean and spacious and the views are amazing! We ran into a few issues with the hot tub, AC, and dryer but it was due to a power surge which was no ones fault. The Blue Ridge Mtn Rentals was excellent and very timely. We would highly recommend staying at A Bears Eye View!!

Pre Thanksgiving Family Get Together
Everything was perfect from the moment I sent in a request to rent this property. Simple and Easy! We had 14 in our party with 3 dogs and we never felt crowded or cramped. The cabin is stocked with all the essentials and easy to find. Beds are comfortable and plenty of blankets for the cold windy nights. My family and I enjoyed every minute and would love to return again soon. Would definitely recommend!

Great house in beautiful location
Had a group of 13 men together for a long weekend, and the house was perfect. Beautiful views and close proximity to everywhere we needed to go in Blowing Rock. Got lots of good use out of the pool table, bonfire pit, and hot tub!

Large house
Perfect for family and friends get together. Plenty of space and beds. We had a great time! The only draw back was the mosquitoes! Guess we will have to come back when the weather is cooler next time.

Girls’ Weekend
Our large group of women really enjoyed our stay at this house. It was clean, well maintained, and had a beautiful view. The only thing we had an issue with was the front door. We had trouble locking it - I believe the lock is broken. We also weren’t huge fans of the decor but overall we had a great stay.

House needs a deep cleaning
Nice house with beautiful views, but needs a deep cleaning. Dust, spider webs all around. Bathrooms need a good scrubbing and ceiling fans should be washed as well. If we had to turn the ceiling fan on in the main leaving room, the dust would be all over the place. Facet in the kitchen should be replaced for the new one; it was hard to wash anything without being wet. Unroofed hot tub, couldn't enjoy it during rain.

Great Stay and Beautiful Home
My friends and I gathered for the weekend and had a fantastic time. The house is beautiful and very well maintained. The location is perfect for App Ski or downtown Boone. It’s not very far out which makes getting everywhere very easy. I highly recommend this house and would stay again in a heartbeat.

Perfect home for a reunion of college friends and their spouses
This home was as lovely as the pictures. Easily accommodated four couples. The views were awesome. The location was great for shopping and touring the Blue Ridge Parkway. The kitchen had all the pots/pans and utensils needed. Wood was provided for the firepit. The beds were comfortable and the home was spotless.

Perfect Weekend
We had 12 guys up there for a Men's Retreat and had a great time. The was a perfect basecamp for our fishing, hiking, and mountain biking activities. The house is well-maintained and Blue Ridge Mountain Rentals were awesome to work with - very through and very responsive.

Great views, lots of room
Loved this place. Well furnished for the most part, with bear decor on absolutely everything. We spent a lot of time in the hot tub and shooting pool. The foosball was missing, so we couldn't use that table, but we didn't mind. Modern televisions in every room and a well stocked kitchen. The views are amazing, and it's very close to Blowing Rock and Boone, so we had easy trips to Grandfather Mtn. and Tweetsie Railroad.
I highly recommend this place if you have a big family.
