With room for up to 10 guests (3 bedrooms and 3 baths), it's ideal for families or friends seeking adventure, comfort, and unforgettable views!

Why You'll Love It:

Hot-tub bliss + mountain magic: Spend evenings in your 6-person hot tub or lounge on the spacious, partially covered deck, soaking in sweeping mountain views, the soothing sound of nearby creeks, and fiery sunset hues. The deck also features a cozy gas fireplace with a large TV above. Perfect for family movie night!

ELECTRIC VEHICLES WELCOME! We offer an EV charger for your Electric vehicle while staying at Bull & Bear

Luxury meets lodge style: Bull & Bear balances upscale comfort with that cozy-chalet charm. This home offers beautifully furnished bedrooms and a playful bunk room for kiddos complete with an Xbox console.

Endless adventure at your doorstep: Explore the famed Eagles Nest community amenities, head over to Beech or Sugar Mountain in the winter months to ski or snowboard, or make your way to downtown Boone or Blowing Rock to shop on main street!

PET FRIENDLY! Your furry friend is welcome! We have all the supplies there on site to make sure your furry friend has as much fun as you do (food/water station, leash, dog bed, and a collar)! Take a peaceful walk in the woods along the property and explore the creek.
