  We had a wonderful stay at Bear Creek! The house was spotless, beautifully decorated, and very cozy, but what we loved the most was the amazing view to rolling hills and wildlife. I loved sitting on the porch chairs and be with nature. The fireplace made it very cozy at night.

  We had 2 days in the cabin and it was a great stay. Nice view from the porch/yard and games to enjoy in the garage such as ping pong and corn hole and lots of games/puzzles inside as well. The cabin was clean and well maintained. Hoping to return to take advantage of the proximity to Zaloo's canoe and tubing in the summer.

  Our stay at Bear Creek Ridge was everything we hoped for and more! From the moment we arrived, we were struck by the beautiful landscaping and the welcoming, easy-access paved driveway – a huge plus for anyone, especially if you're on a motorcycle!
  
  The cabin itself is a true gem. The one-level design made it incredibly convenient, and the two spacious bedrooms with their en-suite bathrooms offered fantastic privacy and comfort. We loved the thoughtful touches like the Roku TVs in each room and the walk-in shower in the primary suite, which also had the added convenience of laundry facilities.

  This cozy little cabin is wonderful. It has a beautiful view in the front. We come here for work and I set my computer up at the table where I could see the view out the window. I absolutely loved it. Easy commute to town and the convenience center. Love the little towns near here as well. Just a very nice, peaceful location all around.

  Lisa B from Norwood, NC recommends this vacation rental

  Our stay in Bear Creek Ridge was wonderful. The cabin was in a great location...fifteen minutes or so from West Jefferson and about thirty to North Wilkesboro. The cabin was clean and looked brand new. It was equipped with everything we possibly could have needed. We loved the decor. The teenager with us actually counted the bears inside the cabin - 183 but found a couple more before we left so it may be closer to 190 bears! The abundance of board games and the game room/garage had lots to keep us entertained. IF there was a downside-one of us broke her foot a couple of days before we came and was in a wheelchair. Accessibility (maybe through the garage) would have been helpful, but we managed. Inside everything was equipped and she managed fine.
  Great customer service as always with CMVR!

    Thank you so much for you review of your recent stay at Bear Creek Ridge. We are delighted you enjoyed it and to hear that your teenager counted the bears. We look forward to your next stay.
