“Cute cabin near Tweetsie” Convenient cabin within 5 minutes of Boone. Nice location and hot tub. Plenty of room for two couples. Only concern was construction on new houses below cabin made for loud evenings and mornings. Would easily stay again.

“Great Family Retreat” Location is in close proximity to skiing, snowboarding, tubing. Great view of the mountains and the sunrise and sunset. Plenty of room for 10 guests.

“So much more than expected!” My wife and I found this place about 1.5 years ago and wanted to come and stay for our anniversary, but it was booked. We knew that we'd love to make it out the next year and so we did. What an amazing experience! My wife and I are drawn to the mountains and we weren't disappointed. The view is absolutely breathtaking and the house is a gorgeous addition to it. The pictures of the property do not do it justice. We brought our 3 year old with us and she loved it just as much as we did; especially the wood stove. Four days was definitely not enough to enjoy the house, the view and the surrounding areas. We fell in love with house and actually ended up spending half of our days lounging around inside, and staring out the huge window in the living/dining room area. Inside the home were notes that helped with the operation of some things. Switches were labeled and instructions for the wood stove were also very helpful. It was very clean and welcoming as well. It was the perfect size for our three person family and we all felt completely at home during our stay. We are looking forward to our next stay here and hope that it is soon and longer than our first. My wife and I very highly recommend Hawks View.

“Riding Horses at Moses Cone and staying at Shady Lane - 1 1/2 mi” A friend and I stayed at Shady Lane for 3 days/2 nights. We came up to ride horses, and stroll around Blowing Rock. Shady Lane is superbly located. You could park your car and walk everywhere. It also was very cozy and quiet. I will definitely be bringing my husband back for a getaway. The funny thing is, the first night we had no heat and had gotten rained on while riding horses and we were chilled and the Heater didn't work. We built a fire in the stove, but we slept in our sweatpants and wished we had more covers. The next day I phoned the rentals to say we needed heat. When we got in from riding again there was no heat. The rental lady was very nice and came by to check things out. She offered to move us. But we cuddled up in the L.R., got more wood from a convenience story. I was settled in on the couch and my friend had made a make-shift bed with two chairs. The fire was roaring. at 10:00p.m. there was knock on the door and we were surprised, shocked and a little scared about who would be knocking at that hour. It was the heating people. They stayed until 11:00p.m. But got the heater running. We were so comfy in our makeshift camp in the living room that we cut the heat down and stayed there. It was something to laugh about and add to our stories. Ha.

“Great location” Great location, convenient to both Blowing Rock and Boone. Still has the "mountain home" vibe without being too far from civilization. Unless that's what you're looking for. Downstairs split bedrooms/livingroom set up really convenient for the kids. Beds very hard and pillows uncomfortable so be prepared. Otherwise good times all around.

“Could not have been more satisfied” Obviously we all have different preferences when it comes to homes which will effect our impressions and reviews. I'm more concerned with my immediate environment (i.e. the place I'm staying in) than I am whether I'm in the most magical geographic location. That said, this might well be the cleanest and most comfortable place I've ever stayed. By clean, I mean clean in a way that there was no way to tell I didn't live in it regularly or that it had probably been recently cleaned. It was just clean. The style, layout, furnishing, etc were very balanced, solid, and comforting. It's out of the way but I like privacy and being in secluded areas. I wouldn't especially recommend it where active children were involved as much as I would a couple very comfortable in their own skins who are seeking time together in a very different environment than the hectic world I know. The technology piece of the homes furnishing is not anywhere near leading edge but I completely abandoned broadcast television 12 years ago and whether something is cathode ray TV technology or flat screen 4K my brain can handle that if the content (talking a movie) is interesting. I had no contact with Jenkins Rentals other than signing in and checking out but I had a very good feel about who I interacted with. I'd use them again and I will return to this home. I only hope it stays this way. Heck, I'd buy a third of it with someone with a like mind. I'd get Jenkins Rentals to oversee it but it wouldn't be a rental anymore. I'd be tempted to not announce it's existence to friends or family except on a need to know basis

“Relaxing!” What a beautiful and relaxing place to stay! Would recommend to friends. It is like being at home. It is very warm and inviting! Has everything you need.

“Great Cabin” This is a wonderful cabin with convinent location to all ammenties in Boone, NC Don't understand the last review, we had everthing explained and prices were on the internet.

“Bear Bungalow Visit” We love the Bear Bungalow and have stayed there multiple times. Location is great. Short drive to town. And, my son loves all the bear decor. We love everything about it and appreciate the wi fi connection.

“Perfect experience in every way.” Location, ease of access, comfortable, clean, tons of room. A perfect place for our family to enjoy the mountains. We were close but not cramped, the eating area allowed everyone to spread out. Lots of places to sit, relax, rest, or recover from a busy day.

“Family Get Together” We stayed at the Bears Eye View the first weekend of March 2001, we had a great time. The cabin meet all our expectations. We had a large group of 14 and everyone was comfortable. The cabin was clean and well stocked. The area was close to everything, snow tubing, Grand Father Mountain and the cave in Linsville. We especially liked the hot tub, pool table and the grill on the deck of the cabin. I would definitely use Blue Moutain Rentals when I go to the mountains on my next vacation.

“Family vacation” The house and the kids room smell very badly of a animal. The bed in the master bedroom was too hard and the covers were itchy.

“Beautiful house!” This is a beautiful house that worked great for my family, including 2 young children. We had a great stay! The only two slight disappointments were the location which we wish had been more private and had a better view (there are houses very close on both sides) and the kitchen which was very well appointed for doing a lot of cooking. Otherwise, this was a perfect house!

“Relaxing and Peaceful” We enjoyed our stay. It had a wonderful view and we really enjoyed watching all of the Humming Birds. We came to hike the mountains and there were plenty of trails to hike.

“Wish I could live here!!!” My husband and I stayed here for an extended weekend with our five year old son. We have stayed in numerous cabins throughout the Boone area and this one is by far, the best one yet! The cabin has all of the amentities of a home, just bring your clothes and some food and you're all set! The cabin is very comfy, tastefully decorated and in a perfect location. We were far enough away from Boone to truly relax yet there is a grocery store five minutes away. We grilled out each evening on the wonderful wrap around deck. The sunset view from the deck and hot tub are absolutely amazing! I wish I could experience this every evening! My son fell in love with the hot tub, we could not get him out of there!! We truly appreciate the little things about this cabin. There were fun games, Netflix access (which was great for our son!!), etc. My husband was impressed with the surprise beer he found waiting for us and I enjoyed the complimentary wine :) This is truly a home away from home. I was very sad to leave and we will definitely be back, hopefully very soon :)

“Beautiful Mountain getaway” Very nice cabin. We had a great Christmas get together there. Everything you need is there and within a short distance to the slopes.
