Cozy Bear Cabin - quiet neighborhood, gentle walk to the New River, great mountain views!

Welcome to Cozy Bear Cabin! This beautiful 3-story log cabin is located on the outskirts of Boone in the beautiful private community of River Ridge. It has spectacular views to be enjoyed throughout all seasons! Just a short (.4 mile) walk away, guests can view the New River. There are also several local tubing outfitters nearby. New River is believed to be one of the oldest rivers in the world. It's placid, slow-flowing waters wind through bucolic farmlands, past grassy meadows and rugged hillsides. Its banks are covered with wildflowers in season, and good trout and bass fishing can be had right from the bank!

The kitchen has beautiful granite countertops and stainless steel appliances. The kitchen is fully stocked and the homeowner has taken extra measures to ensure guests have everything they need to cook meals including a drip coffee maker, coffee grinder, small electric vegetable chopper, blender, and pancake griddle.There is also a five burner gas range!
