Hosted by Flying Squirrel Cottages, Sitting Bear Cottage is nestled in the thick rhododendrons on the east edge of Linville Gorge Wilderness Area.
The cottage has 4 bedrooms:
1 - king bed
1 - queen bed
1 - full bed
2 - twin beds in loft

The master suite has a private deck off the room and there is a beautiful new sunroom and deck addition on the front of the cottage.

The high speed internet works great for working remotely or streaming your favorite entertainment services.
The 3 parking areas can easily accommodate 4 vehicles.

After a day of hiking, enjoy a nice soak in the outside covered hot tub!

During the winter months snow accumulates on the roads, they are maintained however during or right after a storm they can be slippery until salted. Please plan to drive a front wheel or 4 wheel drive vehicle.

Our hot tub is serviced weekly by a certified technician. The hot tub is generally in very good condition for our guests to enjoy. Periodically our cleaning team or a guest will find the tub needing service in between the weekly service visits. (Typically, this happens when a prior guest does not follow our spa guide and the water becomes discolored, low on water, etc.)
Our technician lives in the area and can come to service the spa within 24hrs. For this reason, we cannot guarantee or warrant the condition of the spa.

Hike directly from the house for incredible views at Sitting Bear or down into Linville Gorge on Brushy Ridge Trail. Incredible backcountry mountain biking can be experienced from the house, same for great road cycling with the infamous 181 climb. The Blue Ridge Parkway is less than five miles away and you are about 20 minutes from the Banner Elk ski slopes.

The house design was inspired by our travels to the Alps of France. Wood touches throughout the cottage make it warm and welcoming.

Be sure to spark up the indoor fireplace when you arrive! The panoramic windows allow for a great view of the forest as the sun rises and sets. Create lasting memories while sitting with friends and family outside at the fire pit, gazing at the unobstructed view of the night sky with almost no light pollution!
