Description:
Come enjoy the Bear and Bull Lodge experience. Wow(!), an amazing lodge property, spectacular views, close to hiking trails, a plethora of onsite amenities and amazing outdoor spaces!! This stunning property essentially has it all.

Bear and Bull Lodge has been entertaining travelers for years & has become one of the most popular homes in our Yonder luxury portfolio, and very quickly became one of the most requested! It is not surprising when you put a terrific estate property & home together with simply spectacular views, outdoor spaces & amenities. Bear and Bull Lodge is truly a mountain retreat getaway, or blissful hideaway.

Get ready to be "wowed" by this nearly 3,000+ sq. ft. mountain style retreat lodge. Breathtaking year round mountain views from the moment you walk through the doors into this luxury mountain home. As you enter the lodge, walk straight back outside the double glass sliding doors leading onto the covered deck (with Viking hot tub, ) and views that are hard to look away from. Custom built w/quality throughout. Open concept floor plan built for entertaining family and friends. Main floor has split bedroom plan both w/full view glass doors leading out onto the deck. Wake up every morning to the stunning year round views. Master bedroom offers a gas log fireplace, claw foot soaking tub, slate floors and walk in shower. Great room has a wood burning fireplace & dining area. Fully stocked spacious kitchen with beautiful granite countertops & huge island, double oven, & gas stove top. In the winter guests can look out at the ski slope and watch snowboarders and skiers go down the hill while they soak in the Viking hot tub or while relaxing on the deck by the "fire table" fire pit! All summer long on Monday's, enjoy "Food Truck Monday" at the country club for dinner!

Bear and Bull Lodge affords the luxury of 2 fireplaces, 2 separate Great Rooms, the calming feel of wood, stone and natural elements within the home, and serene landscaping outside. Kids love getting out in and around the expansive Hatley Pointe multi-million dollar development for hiking, exploring, creeks and more. The expansive, multi-level deck areas afford additional outdoor space to relax & unwind. Comfortable seating, porch hanging bed, allow for the entire group to sit and soak in the spectacle of the Smoky Mountains.

​​​​​​​While everyone enjoys the outdoor trails & more, for those that just want to kick back and relax, you can pull up a chair and take in the view, (the long & short range views are spectacular!!), observe the night as it fills with stars, and watch the fireflies come out to play in your backyard. Take a seat and enjoy the sound of nature and the serenity in your own private paradise at the top of the world.

Besides bordering additional hiking in the Pisgah National Forest, there is a community park, tennis, golf & so much more nearby. You are also just down the road a piece from Navitat Zip lines, and Hatley Point Ski Resort is so close you can walk to it!
You are just a short drive from America's favorite scenic byway, The Blue Ridge Parkway, motorcycle touring, biking, hiking, white water rafting, rock climbing, kayaking, canoeing, zip lining, Segway tour…just about any outdoor activity! Or, take a quick ride to downtown Asheville to enjoy the first-rate restaurants, shopping, galleries, spas, and entertainment.

Beautiful home!
The house was exactly as pictured! It get very luxurious. It was very clean, with lots of amenities to make the stay comfortable - cookware, utensils, refrigerator with ice maker, towels, games. Showers were comfortable with ample hot water. The steep drive up was intimidating the first time for this Florida driver, but the roads were good and we did it in a minivan with no issues. Their instructions take you a long route - we used Google Maps and got to the house quicker. During our visit (March) the nighttime temperatures got down below 20 degrees but the house never got cold. The amazing view of the sunset from the porch was worth the visit! There was plenty of firewood, but you might pick up some fresh wood at the convenience store at the bottom of the mountain, because the wood at the house was old and wouldn't burn. We spent most of our vacation in Asheville, but we carved out a day just to relax in the house and play games in front of the fire because it was so comfortable.

Great Christmas Getaway
We had a wonderful stay at Bear and Bull Lodge. The property was beautiful and had stunning views. It was more than roomy enough for our party of 9 (ages 13-79). The kitchen was well equipped and we used it often in our stay. The only regret was that we didn’t spend more time in the home on vacation. We look forward to returning when Hayley Point Ski Resort completes their construction and opens which is just down the mountain from the property. Thank you for allowing our family to stay at your home. We look forward to our next visit.

Mountain Family Vacation
We celebrated my nephew’s 30th birthday! We had 3 families (6 parents & 6 kids) stay and we all were comfortable. We had space to be all together and separate space if we needed alone time. The view of the sunset is amazing!
