About this property

Wake Up on the Lake!

Welcome to Bear Paw Lodge – Where Mountain Expanse Meets Lakeside Comfort

Step into over 4,000 square feet of pure mountain modern premium at Bear Paw Lodge, the newest and largest lakefront estate on the water – just 4 miles from downtown Blue Ridge. Tucked behind a private gated entrance on nearly 2 acres of pristine mountain land, this designer retreat is the ultimate getaway for those craving serenity, sophistication, and stunning natural beauty.

From the moment you walk through the grand double doors, you’re greeted by vaulted ceilings soaring over 22 feet high, rich hardwood beams, and breathtaking views of both the lake and surrounding mountains. With 4 spacious bedrooms, 4.5 spa-inspired bathrooms, and two full kitchens (including a chef’s dream kitchen outfitted with top-of-the-line European appliances), every inch of this cabin is crafted for comfort, entertaining, and unforgettable memories.

Relax by one of three fireplaces – two indoors for cozy nights in, and one outside on the expansive deck overlooking the water. Every detail is elevated: high end furnishings, plush premium linens, designer lighting, and hand-selected decor that blends rustic charm with upscale sophistication.

Enjoy easy access on all-paved roads, then retreat to the most exclusive spot on the lake – ideal for kayaking, paddle boarding, or simply sipping wine by the fire as the sun sets behind the mountains.

Whether you’re hosting a gourmet dinner, escaping for a romantic couples’ weekend, or gathering the family for lakeside adventure – Bear Paw Lodge delivers a Blue Ridge experience unlike any other.

- Please ensure all guests are accounted for within your reservation. We DO NOT allow anyone that is not accounted for onto the property, even if they do not plan to stay the night. Unannounced guests will result in a $100 per guest, per night, charge to your account AND you will need to vacate immediately.

- The cabin is on well-water, which can have a slight color or odor due to dissolved air and minerals. It is safe to drink, however if you are sensitive to hard water, we recommend bringing bottled water.

- This cabin is on a septic system; it cannot handle food scraps, wipes, nor toiletries. There is a basket in the kitchen sink drain to stop food from going down; empty this basket into the trash as needed and at the end of your stay. Toilets can only handle septic-safe toilet paper. Do not flush hygiene products, wipes, nor excessive tissue, EVEN ONES MARKED AS FLUSHABLE, as this will cause a blockage and render all plumbing unusable.

- ***All trash must be BAGGED and TIED in kitchen-sized 13 gallon bags, then placed in the outdoor trash bins. The trash company does not have a dump truck; they pick up each bag individually. Please be mindful of this. Dog poop bags must be enclosed in trash bags as well***

- The cabin has a Take One, Leave One library; feel free to bring a book you’re finished reading and trade out for one of ours. Of course, this means there may be all sorts of books on our shelves, which may not represent the opinions or values of your host.

- Because this is a rural area, we recommend turning off any lights that are not directly in use, as bugs are very prevalent and attracted to light, especially at night.

- Fireworks (including sparklers) are strictly prohibited anywhere in and around the cabin.

- Please be sure the handle to the pot-filler is always pointing DOWN when not in use, to avoid leaking.
