  We try to stay at a different cabin for our winter weekend getaway each year and so far this has been our favorite! Internet worked great, everything was clean, game room was fun to have. Location is great, only about 20 min away from grocery store. Definitely bring your 4 wheel drive as it is a bit curvy going up the mountain but that was to be expected. Will definitely stay here again!

  loved the cabin ,but the HULU TV WAS ALFULL. could not watch local channels ,no local news. no monday night football,renter needs to supply customer the passwords to watch programs that are blocked. older people need that in the winder months.

  • Manager Responded on 11/13/2025

    Thank you for sharing your feedback and for staying with us! We’re so glad you loved the cabin. We understand that TV access is important, especially during the winter months. Most of our homeowners now offer internet-based TV services rather than traditional cable or satellite, and this is clearly noted in each property listing. The TVs also offer free channels through their streaming platforms, and guests can log in with their own accounts to access additional programming such as Hulu, YouTube TV, or Netflix. We appreciate your comments and will continue to look for ways to make our listings as clear and guest-friendly as possible.

  Awesome weekend. The cabin is beautiful. The beds are comfortable. There was plenty of room for our group. We loved the pool table, hot tub and variety of games available to play. The gas logs were warm after enjoying the gorgeous sunrise over the mountains. The kitchen had everything we needed and we were also able to use the gas grill. Highly recommend this cabin.

  Teresa C from HOPE MILLS, NC recommends this vacation rental

  What a cute cabin! Comfortable, well-appointed, great communication with property management. The cabin has a large back deck - we loved the bed swing!! This place was just right for our family of 5 adults - loved having 3 full baths! Located in Todd, NC, please be aware that the Todd Railroad Grade Road is very narrow and curvy. If you're new to mountain driving, take it slow and easy! Also, the last 1/2 mile to the cabin is a gravel road. No rain during (or before) our trip so muddy travel was not an issue. The cabin is a good home base for activities in and around Boone/Blowing Rock/Banner Elk - would stay here again.

  • Manager Responded on 7/18/2024

    Thank you for leaving a review of your recent stay at Bearly Behaving. This home is just off Hwy 194 so you are convenient to Todd, Boone and West Jeffferson. The last part of gravel road is well maintained and it being muddy should never be an issue. We look forward to having you stay with us again.
