The newly completed “Brown Bear Lodge” is a 2500 sq ft luxury log home tucked away on 5 ½ acres of wooded mountainside just outside Bryson City. This home overlooks the Smoky Mountain National Park and has stunning long range mountain views from every room.
We have gone out of our way to make this home as comfortable and relaxing as possible with the laid back feel of a mountain retreat. Whether you have 2 people or a larger group, you will find this home warm and inviting. Some of the features include reclining sofas and chairs, plush pillow top beds, a handcrafted dining room table with seating for 10, as well as custom cabinetry and granite countertops in the kitchen and baths. The focal point of the home is the massive floor to ceiling stone fireplace in the great room.
The "Brown Bear Lodge" is also conveniently located to unlimited outdoor activities. A short 15-20 minute drive will take you to Fontana Lake, which boasts the highest dam east of the Rockies, as well as offering boat rentals and great fishing; or Nantahala Outdoor Center with whitewater rafting, horseback riding, biking and hiking trails, tubing, kayak and canoe rentals. A new zip line which goes through the Nantahala Forest is only about 15 minutes away. We have excellent restaurants nearby and downtown Bryson City, only 10 minutes away, has a number of shops and eateries, not to mention the Great Smoky Mountain Railway with daily excursions through the mountains.
Want more excitement? Try Harrah’s Casino located in nearby Cherokee. Need a relaxing drive? The scenic Blue Ridge Parkway starts in Cherokee. Want golf? Check out the Smoky Mountain Country Club in Whittier!
However, if you want to truly relax, you don’t need to leave home. How about sitting in the hot tub and enjoying the mountain views during the day or stargazing at night with your favorite beverage. Or, how about cooking a steak on the grill while watching the sun set over the mountains. After dinner, nothing beats sitting around the fire pit telling stories and roasting marshmallows.
Our "Brown Bear Lodge" has an instant charm and comfort that envelops you in luxury.
Please do not smoke.
