Snow Day in the Mountains!!

I think this property was made specifically for us, on the perfect weekend we chose. The stars aligned perfectly, and we found Bear Pause! We actually drove up the mountain and got to trudge through snow up to our knees with snow in our hair as we came to our weekend paradise. Our friends who had never seen snow thought it was super cool (literally and figuratively) and so did we!

Quiet and Comfortable

My family and I (2 adults and 3 teens) came post Christmas for skiing. Bit of a hiccup getting in as the code wasn’t communicated in VRBO but I contacted the property manager and she immediately responded with the code. The code didn’t work but she was able to give me a code that did. She was also on vacation but she was prompt in ensuring I was still cared for and even checked in early. Veda was professional and helpful and wonderful to work with. Beds were comfortable, well stocked kitchen, conveniently located to just about everything. Only thing stated should have been there that wasn’t was there were no outside furniture and no grill but that may have been put away given the weather conditions but not sure. Plenty of games to play and cable to watch. Wish the living room had a smart TV but we made the most of it. Plenty of room for the 5 of us but the pull out couch in the loft needs a new mattress. There was a foam topper on it but that didn’t really help. Only other thing that I would say is the dryer took about two hours to dry a basic load. May just need to clean out the dryer vent. Overall it was a nice stay and would stay again.

Mountain Views

Bear Pause was the perfect place for my new wife and I to start off our lives together. The views were incredible and the ski In and Out aspect was perfect. The drive up is steep so make sure your Car is good but it is well worth it. We love Banner Elk and will certainly be back.

Beautiful property and location

This is an amazing property with a large covered deck to watch the expansive view of the mountains. The condo has lovely furnishings, comfortable beds, and a well stocked kitchen for any cooking needs. We’ve stayed in several VRBO and this was one of the best!

Perfect stay

This was the perfect location. We were able to ski, build a snowman and have a snowball fight! All for a little 4 year old who got to see and play in the snow for the 1st time. The view from the condo was beautiful and expansive!

Great clean space with a fantastic view.

Overall this is a great place. Super clean with plenty of room for 6 adults and the 3 bathrooms were ideal. Easy drive to Sugar mountain resort. I would say 4WD or AWD is a must during the winter for this location but they seem to keep the roads fairly clear.
