We found Cross Creek Cabins quite by accident about 10 years ago. Our first visit to Fishing Bear was dreamy… the cabin with so very cozy with stuffed teddy bears sitting on every shelf and in every nook and cranny, a nicely set dining room table, comfy chairs, a kitchen fully stocked with every imaginable utensil, coffee maker, microwave, piles of fresh towels and pillows, a trunk full of extra snuggly blankets, a shelf full of cards and games, a fire pit and grill outside and lots of quiet, woodsy privacy. Our latest visit just a few months ago was just as special: the Fishing Bear cabin did not disappoint. It was just as quaint and cozy as we remembered it. The property has expanded over the years to include a beautiful little pond fed by a creek which is truly meditative in the morning mist, picnic tables, and by the owner’s home, a barn with the sweetest ponies(and a mule!) that you’ll ever meet. Cross Creek Cabins is right off the Blue Ridge Parkway and conveniently located near the Linville Caverns, Linville Falls, Grandfather Mountain, Blowing Rock and Tweetsie Railroad. Along the windy road of 221, you’ll find some curious little gift shops and mercantiles! Boone is under 30 minutes away. There are several other cabins available on the property, I believe most of the accommodate larger groups. The owners are professional and courteous. At the time, they did not offer wifi, and our little hotspot had a hard time trying to catch a signal… but after all, you’re in the mountains to relax, right? :) We’ve tried other cabins managed by rental companies but there is something special about Cross Creek. This place is our mountain getaway of choice!
