Gorgeous view from the Badgers Den

Most of the places we’ve stayed in around Boone have been great. The owners of the Badger’s Den had little touches though that made it more special. There were local pastries awaiting our arrival, the fridge was stocked with waters and sodas and the towels were the thickest, fluffiest I’ve ever used! Communication was clear and immediate and we appreciated our hosts being so helpful!

Amazing Stay!

My husband and I were blown away when we arrived by the beauty of the grounds and the whimsical feel of the apartment. We felt like we had stepped into magical hideaway with all the sweet details and thoughtful touches. As soon as we left we immediately began planning a return visit!

Nothing short of spectacular!!

We had the most amazing stay at Badger’s Den!! The hosts provided a clean, cozy “cottage” complete with little details of whimsy throughout the space (plus a couple of delectable pastries from a local bakery ). Very reasonable pricing for everything included with the space. We will absolutely be coming back!!

Simply perfect

The location is perfect between Boone and Blowing Rock about 15 min from each. It was a nice super clean studio loft perfect for a couple. Tv, coffee/tea, fire pit outside on the deck couldn’t get any better. Communication from the owners was great and welcoming. The property is like a mother in-law suite to their house. They are not intrusive at all but if you need them they are close.

Cozy Cabin Over Garage In Mountains

My husband and I enjoyed our stay at the Badger's Den! It's an adorable cozy studio apartment cabin over the garage, with great views of Grandfather Mountain! We loved the mountain views and trees surrounding. The cabin was very clean upon arrival, and property owners purchased pasteries from a local bakery for us that were absolutely delicious! 10 out of 10.

Absolutely the BEST!

Badger's Den was just a nice, peaceful accommodation, with ALL the right amenities you could ask for. Our hosts supplied items we didn't expect, i.e. welcome pastries and soft drinks in the frig. abundance of soft, quality bath towels, well equipped kitchen, etc., etc. Couldn't believe that YouTube TV was actually provided! Thank you, Erik and Sharon.

Perfect quiet mountain getaway location near Boone NC-ideal hosts

Lovely, extremely well decorated spacious mountain chalet/studio on second floor. Near Boone, Blowing Rock, Banner Elk, Sugar Mountain. Everything you need—the hosts are so friendly (Sharon and Gene) w Eric helping. All questions answered promptly. Golf nearby, outstanding restaurant Gamekeepers 5 min away ideal for anniversary but reservations needed. Nice little summer house/room steps up hill behind host’s main house w romantic view of Grandfather Mountain, coy pond, deck w very comfortable chairs. So much more. Such a nice stay. We’ll be back.

Great location in the NC mountains

Badger's Den was truly wonderful. The property is conveniently located between Boone, Blowing Rock, Banner Elk, and Grandfather Mountain. The studio apartment above the garage is simple but well equipped for a couple. The greenhouse cottage was a great place to sip coffee and read a book. We had a great time and hope to revisit Badger's Den again.

Cute Place

Comfy one room loft with kitchenette, balcony, full bath and relaxing furniture. Comfortable bed. Stairs with 15 steps to front door. Mini cool refrigerator needs updating due to frosting issue. It's a 15 minute drive on winding mountain roads to get to either Boone or Blowing Rock. We would return.

Adorable retreat

The Badgers den was everything we could've asked for for our two night escape from the hustle of the city. The location is perfect as it only sits about 15 minutes from Boone and 10 minutes to Blowing Rock. My wife and I loved having a nightcap on the porch of the summer cottage with the waterfall flowing and the beautiful mountains in the background. The owner is first class in communication and hospitality.

Everything you need for two!

My husband and I owned a home in the area for 15 years and have been looking for a rental that we can return to over and over again as we visit the area fairly often. Badger's Den was perfect for us - location is ideal with easy accessibility to all our favorite experiences; private; nice furnishings and all the amenities you could ever want. We decided not to stop at the grocery store for breakfast supplies on our way in and found out when we arrived that the host had provided everything we'd want, no additional purchase required. The gas fire pit on the deck was a really nice addition, as was the Summer house - charming and tranquil and a very special surprise. We'll be back!
