Description Description
Ascend to new heights at The Bear Lodge in Maggie Valley, NC! Located in a gated mountain community at an elevation of 5,300', this majestic lodge will "wow" you with year-round, long-range views of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park that you can enjoy from the covered hot tub on the deck. Treat yourself to this cabin retreat which is centered around the light-filled main living area, where picture windows allow you to gaze out at the stars in any season. The centerpiece stone fireplace is perfect for gatherings, and wood-covered walls and ceilings and custom cherry-wood kitchen cabinets add to the dreamy log-cabin vibe. If food and dining are central to your family's activities, The Bear Lodge gives you the opportunity to really put on a show with a fully-equipped kitchen and a family dining table. Your group will love the spaciousness of this home when it's time to retire. Your guests staying in the upper-level loft suite will enjoy the claw-foot soaking tub. A bedroom on the main floor gives easy access to guests, and the walk-out lower level includes a bunk bed and several bonus sleeping spaces. Western North Carolina nature offers something special to guests at The Bear Lodge, including unbelievable autumn colors, snow-white winter evenings by the fireplace, and wildlife sightings of wild turkeys, deer, elk, and black bears. Experience mile-high living at The Bear Lodge while soaking in the bubbly hot tub and enjoying the breathtaking Smoky Mountain sunsets!

Absolutely beautiful house, very well appointed with stunning mountain views. Great hot tub and deck for relaxing, lovely living room with floor-to-ceiling windows. Spacious bedrooms and a basement, and really secluded and quiet.

Amazing Vacation with postcard views
We stayed at this beautiful cabin for a week. It exceeded our expectations for sure! Very nice and very clean. This place is very well "stocked" and amenities were great. 2 couples on a motorcycle trip, I will say the road up the mountain was an experience on its own, we managed with truck and trailer as well as just motorcycles. I'd say its not for everyone but dont let it stand in your way of an unforgettable trip, with even more unforgettable views. Would highly recommend! The information provided prior to arriving is awesome. Will definitely visit again!
