Our two families from the North and the South came together here for a family reunion to enjoy all the sites and activities around us. This house was in the perfect location to do all these things as well as explore other areas. We enjoyed sitting on the front porch discussing the day’s adventures while the children enjoyed the pool table. Plenty of room for the 9 of us to eat meals together. Thank you for making this possible.

My friends and I stayed here for a weekend trip to the mountains and it was great. Lots of space, good location, and well organized. I'd definitely recommend it to others!

This cabin is a warm, very cozy cabin with all hardwood floors and paneling throughout. The kitchen is well stocked with plenty of pans and utensils. We stayed there with our three families, each having their own private bathroom. The location is easily accessible, with a short drive to Grandfather Mountain and Boone. It does not have a mountain view, but is nestled in the woods in a gated community. This is our second stay in this cabin and would stay there again.

Honey Bear Haven is a beautiful home in an even more beautiful location. We wanted to feel like we were “in the woods” and were not disappointed. We spent many hours sipping coffee and wine on the deck and found the fire pit to be charming and unique with the natural stones.
The only down side to the home is that the interior very dark and the home’s lighting is inadequate. The kitchen area was so dim that meal prep was frustrating. The ground floor living room was so dark we gave up trying to play pool and the bedrooms on that level were worse. In the middle of the afternoon, with every light in that room turned on, my daughter had to use a flashlight to find something she dropped on the bedroom floor. If you decide to stay here I recommend you bring along battery lanterns or trouble lights of some sort.

Great location that’s only 30min to Beech Mtn ski resort and 25 min to Appalachian ski resort. Only 10min to Boone where you can find anything you need. Twin Rivers is a gated community that feels safe. Even when there was ice & snow the roads were clear & gravel driveway made it easy to access. There’s a circular drive and unload is easy right through the first floor. Pool table was fun. Kitchen well stocked. Heat system was great & even if it was cooler downstairs that had portable heaters. Would definitely recommend for families and friends.

The house was well suited for our group. Plenty of space for everyone. There were issues with the door locks and dust, but otherwise we had a great time. The porch was our favorite spot of the house.. Outside fireplace was great for the chilly evenings,, until it quit working. Otherwise, the kitchen was well stocked for our group and plenty of eating space.

Very nice home
The home was clean and exactly the right room for us. Plenty of bathrooms and a good size kitchen. Loved the wrap around porch. Fire pit area was OK. Neighborhood was spectacular. Be aware there are no views as the property is located at the bottom of the hill. Nice walking to rivers and to top of hill. Overall was a perfect fit and central to all the activities we wanted to do.

Wonderful property
The location was good for our large group. Pool table, firepit and large open kitchen was a hit, more chairs around the pit would be nice. House was well sticked and clean. The exterior doors need maintenance.

Perfect to retreat or be a tourist
We had a wonderful stay at Honey Bear Haven with our extended family. Everyone had ample space to call their own or we could comfortable enjoy one space together. The kids spent almost all their time outside enjoying the enormous wrap around porch, spending time by the fire pit or exploring the yard. The kitchen was exceptionally well stocked and was great to prepare family meals.
The location allowed us to either retreat to staying at the home and simply enjoy family time or easily get out to explore all the Boone/Banner Elk area had to offer. We went hiking and fishing. Road the alpine coaster and spent the day at Tweetsie Railroad.
The whole family agreed, our next vacation to the Boone/Banner Elk area will be spent at Honey Bear Haven!

Great stay with minor annoyances
Location is perfect, being 15-20 minutes from everything you came to NV High Country to do. The house needs some repairs and minor improvements to amenities. Lighting is very dim, only one kitchen towel, door handles and towel racks were loose and falling off, etc. Minor things but it would be challenging if our stay had been more than 3 nights.
Overall, I’d consider stay here again.
5.0 / 5.0
Comfortable and clean.
Great location near hiking, shopping, tubing etc. The property is tucked away giving you that cabin in the woods feeling. Plenty of room to spread out. The pool table was a big hit and the huge porch was
wonderful. We would stay here again.

Spectacular stay!!!
We planned a last minute trip from Texas to visit our family. We came across this rental that seemed perfect for our stay. It exceeded all expectations. From a fully stocked kitchen baby gear comfy beds gas grill for outdoor cooking to a nice fire pit area and a beautiful wrap around porch! This was our family’s first trip ever and we were beyond impressed with our stay! We will definitely be back in the future!

We enjoyed our stay at Honey Bear but it needs some work
We did enjoy our stay at the Honey Bear Haven cabin. The layout of the house is functional. It has everything you need in the kitchen. The house is in need of an upkeep. For example, the couch downstairs is broken, the dryer was not working correctly (Blue Ridge did send someone out but it started working before he got there and even he said the machine is just really old- the dryer worked off and on during our stay) there was some trash on the property including beer cans & dixie cups (note this is a gated community- so I am not sure if the cleaning crew just isn't giving it the detail it needs) The cabin did not feel as clean as we thought it was going to be (maybe our expectations were high because of covid) our child was "very filthy" crawling across the floor, not to mention we pretty much had jiffy feet until I cleaned the floors. I just felt like it lacked on cleanliness.
The Honey Bear Haven has potential to be an awesome place we just felt it needs a lot of work.

Is it time to go back yet?
This property was perfect for our family and friends to gather for my son's graduation. The home is beautiful and was clean when we arrived. There was plenty of room for all of us to hang out and not feel crowded. It was nice having the pool table down stairs, The only thing I would suggest is that it would be nice to have more seating in the down stairs living area near the pool table. We hated to leave and are already looking forward to booking again.
Everyone that we dealt with at Blue Ridge Rentals were more than accommodating from the moment we booked. Overall this was a great place to stay and great people to work with. We highly recommend.

Nice home overall. Lower level needs updates.
We enjoyed our stay very much, it was clean and very spacious. Just the lower level of the house gets very cold and needs to be updated. The bedroom’s roof has mold stains.
