About this property

Cozy Bear Lodge on top of Casey's Mountain! - Great Location!!

Welcome to Cozy Bear Lodge where you can relax and enjoy the mountains!

The lodge is located within 20 minutes to the Great Smoky Mountain National Park entrance and conveniently located right off of the Great Smoky Mountain Expressway, which leads to Bryson City, Sylva, Waynesville, and Lake Junaluska! With Cherokee being the next town over, you can enjoy the Native American culture of the arts, stores, restaurants, and Harrah's Casino!

Enjoy the rocking chairs, cook on the grill, or rest in the hot tub on the back deck, or play checkers in the cozy corner of the living room or sit around the electric fireplace and watch a movie! Head down to the lower level and play foosball, ping pong, practice your putting, or play a boardgame!

The lodge has two bedrooms, each with a queen bed, and a private loft with two twin beds. There is a full bathroom on the main level and a half bathroom on the lower level. Also on the lower level is a washer and dryer if you need.

Cozy Bear is the top most property on Casey's Mountain, so enjoy some privacy being surrounded by trees! There is also a winter mountain view to enjoy from the large windows in the living room and dining area!

Due to being close to the expressway and having all the local places easily accessible, you may hear some traffic noises while enjoying the deck. You might also be able to hear the steam train go by on the tracks that run along the Tuckasegee River!

We hope that we can make your stay in the western Carolina mountains as enjoyable as it has been for us!

A few additional items:
-We have a 12 cup drip coffee maker.
-Sheets and towels are provided for your use.

*Please note that 4-wheel drive is needed to get up the mountain during times of snow on the ground.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Bobby was very communicative before the stay, and answered any questions we had while on the trip in a very timely manner. The hot tub and the game room were fun activities to do as a family. The house was cozy and the perfect place to wind down after a busy day. With the location in the middle of Cherokee and Bryson City, you always had plenty of options for places to visit.

The cabin was clean and cozy. We loved the extras like the hot tub, the game room, washer and dryer, and the cabin rustic decorations. The area was so isolated and quiet being the last house at the top of Casey Mountain, and we loved the beautiful open feel with all the glass on the back side of the house. It was a great place for a retreat! Our host was incredibly responsive via email or text.

The home was very clean and organized! They had toys along with the basement game zone so the kids had a blast. The temps were in the 30-40s and so we do wish there was a better heater in the basement. It never was warm and so the kids had to wear coats and shoes to be down there.

Family Mountain Vacay

Awesome accommodations, great location. Loved the hot tub and the flexibility to be able to cook or go into town for dinner. It is a smaller town so not alot of dinner options but if your looking for a home town feel like we were it was perfect!

This cabin had lots of space and beds, especially for the cost. The kids loft area was cute. We loved the hot tub. They had plenty of towels and gave you supplies for daily clothes washing and dishwasher which was appreciated. Beds were comfy. Plenty of seating for the size. Some of the cons were that a few items were not working properly (like foos ball table & hot tub cover bars that help take cover off and on). Ping pong table is a miniature size which I didn’t expect. The kitchen had lots of cookware items, but it only had salt and pepper as far as cooking goes so be prepared. I think a small bottle of cooking oil would be a cheap addition that would make things easier for guests. The cabin is on a wooded hill but the hill looks down on a highway so there’s a bit of road noise if you’re outside. I expected a rustic wooded vibe, but the road noise kinda changed that especially during the day. I don’t think they misrepresented this, but it was just different than I expected in this way.
