Cute mountain getaway
We (11 people, had the 11th person approved) stayed at the Bear Den over Thanksgiving. It is located in a neighborhood, up a mountain in Fleetwood. The driveway is flat, and the house is easily accessible from it. We loved that the foyer was large enough for all of our winter jackets and shoes. We have family that live about 10 minutes away, so it was perfect for us. My SIL and I were in charge of a few Thanksgiving meals, we did buy foil tins to use but found that the kitchen was equipped with everything needed to prepare the food. The dishwasher and washer/dryer were used and worked well. We used the drip coffee maker but I think there was a Keurig too. The beds were all comfortable. We did have a 22-year-old sleep on the bottom bunk with the younger kids because we just fit the number of beds but he was comfortable and not crowded. We all took advantage of the game room. Some also used the hot tub and had a visit from deer which the kids thought was cool. There is a small office upstairs which was used for a business call. No problem with showers, some showered at night and some in the morning but we never had a problem with hot water. We did shop in the local towns, West Jefferson (15min), Boone (30min), and Blowing Rock (40min). Check-in and check-out was easy. Communication with the owner was always fast and they were so kind.
