Beautiful place to stay in a great location. Had a group of 9 women and was plenty of space. Second time staying at Bear Crossing. We will be back!

Bear Crossing was the perfect spot for 3 generations of family to spend time together in the mountains. Very clean, tastefully decorated, plenty of sleeping spaces, & no wait for a bathroom. We spent a lot of time on the deck watching the ever-changing views of Grandfather Mtn. We've rented from Blue Ridge Mountain Rentals for 15+ years, and our stay at Bear Crossing exemplifies why we are repeat customers.

Beautiful property and amazing views. Great - unobstructed view of Grandfather Mountain. We spent most of our time on the deck enjoying cooler temps and enjoying the views. The swing was a definite plus. Great layout for a family vacation - plenty of room to spread out especially with two separate living areas. Location was great for shopping, dining and activities. The pool is also convenient and beautiful - the grandkids really enjoyed it! Only thing needed - cookware needs to be updated and need to include cookie sheets and maybe pizza pan. Check in and check out was very simple. I would definitely stay here again.

Thank you so much! We are so pleased you enjoyed your getaway! We are sharing your feedback about the cookware with our team. Please come back and enjoy the views anytime! - BRMR

This place is fantastic and has plenty of space for a large family. It was well stocked, very clean, and comfortable for our large group. You also have access to the Echota clubhouse facilities and swimming pool / hot tub. We would definitely come back here and would recommend to others.

Very clean! Easy to get to. The gate code was not correct that was given in the email but luckily a nice lady behind us told us what it was and get got in. It was very accommodating to have all the starter supplies already there, like dishes, trash bags, bed Linen’s, towels etc. We all would definitely stay at this property again!

This community has the cutest and most amazing views. The sunrise was breathtaking! It's super quiet neighborhood although the property is full of townhomes, there's barely any activity of cars, people or noise. The kitchen and bathrooms have everything you need. More than enough blankets and pillows and the beds were really comfy. We would definitely come back to this property.

We loved our time spent at Bear Crossing at Echota Resorts. The townhouse was beautiful, clean, kitchen well supplied, and the views were incredible! Best of all our beds were ready to climb into for a great nights sleep. So important after a long trip when you are ready to unpack and relax. Then the following morning drinking a hot cup of coffee while sitting on the comfy deck furniture and seeing the breathtaking views of Grandfather Mountain and the fall colors. The entire rental process was organized and Blue Ridge made everything simple and stress-free. The only negative was we didn't want our vacation to end! Can't wait to return!

We have a fantastic time. The location was perfect, with amazing views quiet neighborhood, but at the same time close to shopping places and restaurants. The house was beautiful, well kept, and super clean; we had enough space for everybody to enjoy their time. Having access to an indoor pool was awesome!!!
