Great location at App Mountain
Our Girl Scout troop enjoyed our stay at this property. So close to the mountain for skiing. We enjoyed the hot tub, fire place, and the bunk room so that the girls could all bunk together as a group.

Great Weekend for Stay
The Bear Pause is a wonderful cabin. My best friend and I were able to have a great relaxing time to just sit and reminisce. The hot tub was perfect and I would recommend this cabin to everyone. Can’t wait to book it again for my family.

Can't get a better location
I travel to Boone 3-4 times per year and I have yet to visit a property that has great views and is as easily accessible, yet this one checks both boxes. And being so close to both Boone and Blowing Rock means there is plenty to do within a very short drive. Great place!

Great view from deck!
The best part about the house is the view off the back deck. It was stunning and the sun never really hit the porch so we were always in the shade. We spent hours outside. I did think the kitchen needed better lighting. It was pretty dark in there.

Mountain getaway
Cozy, rustic, mountain cabin getaway with splendid views of the mountain range. Literally down the road from the App Mtn Ski resort. Appealed to the entire family with nearby towns of Boone and Blowing Rock. Had a great spring excursion and Dayna, our host, was very accomodating in arranging the schedule to fit. Thank you for a lifetime of memories!

Perfect Place for a Getaway
Amazing location, close to town and ski runs. Beautiful view from the deck. We enjoyed the fire pit and the hot tub nearly every evening. Super quiet and peaceful, we felt like we were the only ones enjoying this area of the mountain. Kitchen is well stocked, beds super comfy and the TV was easy to operate. We appreciated the holiday decorations and the complimentary firewood. We will be back again for sure!

Cozy, clean cabin.
Very nice clean cabin with all amenities provided. Communication with owner was excellent and very quick responses. The only negative is limited parking on side of main road and only being able to leave one bag of trash. This makes it difficult if cooking meals in cabin. And of the course the stairs getting down to cabin which we were aware of before booking.

Lovely stay at Bear Pause
Our booking crossed two owners as the property changed hands during our reservation and both owners, previous and new, couldn't of been nicer to work with. The cabin is in a perfect location if you are skiing App Mtn - walking distance to the entrance which allowed us to do lunch and dinner at the cabin between ski runs - and close to other town attractions including Blowing Rock, Sugar/Beech Mtn, and shopping. The cabin is nicely equipped and decorated (extra special touches for Christmas) and had everything we needed for a family ski trip getaway. Communication with the owner was easy, pleasant, and quick and we will definitely be back for our next trip to Blowing Rock! Thank you for sharing your home with us - we had a lovely stay!

A great Thanksgiving
We had an awesome vacation this past Thanksgiving, The cabin was a ton of fun. It was super clean and cozy, and a great layout for a family. The cabin was well stocked, and while the kitchen is small, we were able to cook our entire traditional Thanksgiving feast. And lastly, the views are amazing!

Beautiful cabin with amazing views! Had a great time in Blowing Rock in this cabin. Everything was very clean and had plenty of cookware and supplies. The view from the back deck is awesome. My favorite part was sitting out in the deck in the rockers drinking coffee looking at the beautiful views!

Wow, what a cabin. It was very clean and organized. There was obviously attention to detail as well in terms of decorating. What a wonderful host too!

The property owner Dayna was truly a wonderful host. She made it very easy to check in and kept all lines of communication open.

Lovely get-away
This house had everything we needed for a quiet retreat with one other couple and our 3 "tween" sons. With COVID, we cooked all our meals here and spent a lot of time on the back porch or in the hot tub, and the boys played ball and air hockey in the basement and watched movies. We went for some hikes but largely just enjoyed the mini-retreat.

Ski Cabin
Overall, we found the place to be cozy, location was excellent and the master bedroom was comfortable along with the master bath. The place needs maintenance for sure and the upstairs tv didn't work. There were "things" left by prior renters, i.e., a knife, and other odd items, that would be a hazard to children. The grass should have been cut and the kitchen was not fully equipped, i.e., no sponge, knives were very dull. One of the shades was broken ( master bath ) so we couldn't raise/lower it. If you don't mind that the place needs updating and maintenance, it serves well for space and location. The stairs going to/from parking area was not a problem heading in/out, but dragging suitcases etc would be a challenge for those who are not fit, or for someone elderly.

We had a wonderful stay at the cabin.
It was a beautiful place to stay with a great view of the mountains. We loved the cabin feel and look. Loved the lighting in all the rooms. Could use some lighting under cabinets in the kitchen. It was close to everything. Only downfall was the stairs.. Lots of stairs getting down to the cabin. Overall great place to come with family and friends. Plenty of room.
