Everything is brand new in this single-floor 'hideaway' on 25 acres, with a large yard and magnificent mountain views. Although on 25 acres you are still 5 minutes away from neighbors. Rental guests of this spacious 'hideaway' on the ground floor of a lovely 3-story cabin will have total privacy, as the above two floors are not furnished or ready for other occupants. Four wheel drive recommended and mandatory in the winter.

New Generac generator! Very important in case of power outage or storm. Feel safe in this beautiful cabin year round!

Enjoy tile floor throughout with area rugs, hallway with adorable Hall Tree for storage and to hang your coats, laundry room with full size washer/dryer, wood blinds at all windows and curtains on door for privacy. All rooms are tastefully decorated with high quality furniture and numerous wall pictures and other 'lodge' decorator items to make guests feel cozy and comfortable.

The living area is very spacious and open with a comfortable sectional sofa in the living room, large flat screen TV, and gas fireplace that vents outside (great for those with allergies).

The dining room provides seating for 6-8 people, and the well-equipped kitchenette has granite counter top, stainless steel refrigerator, toaster oven, microwave, Keurig and Mr. Coffee coffeemakers, etc. A brand new Weber gas grill has been installed on the spacious porch leading to the large lawn and mountain views. You can also get exercise by walking up the outside stairs to the deck on the top floor....where the mountain views are even more spectacular. Four brand new and comfortable rocking chairs are on the deck for your enjoyment.

The bedroom is huge with a king size bed and a beautiful handmade bench at the end of the bed. Two indoor rockers for your convenience as well as two twin size rollaway beds (custom made and very comfortable) are also available. Nice linen is provided for beds and bathroom.

LOCATION....LOCATION....LOCATION. Black Bear Lodge is located in the private community of Hornbuckle/Cranberry Falls between the town of Maggie Valley and the town of Cherokee. The several miles of private roads in this mountainous community are ideal for riders of ATVs. The entire area is surrounded by beautiful mountains, lakes, waterfalls, wildlife, hiking trails, white water rafting opportunities, golf courses, and gorgeous scenery -- just to mention a few.

Black Bear Lodge is only one (1) mile from the entrance to the Blue Ridge Parkway, which has been dubbed 'America's Favorite Drive.' The Haywood County span, with its extraordinarily high elevations, offers motorists breathtaking views of seemingly endless mountain ridges and picturesque valleys, as well as hiking trails. Don't be surprised to see bears, elk, and other wildlife as you drive on the Parkway.

Great Smoky Mountain National Park entrance is just a short drive from Black Bear Lodge. A beautiful drive through the park will end in popular Gatlinburg, TN.

Maggie Valley boasts a rich mountain history and has everything you need, including unique shops and restaurants, parks, golf courses, Cataloochee with skiing and horseback riding, Ghost Town, festival grounds, dancing, mini-golf, and elk viewing.....just to mention a few.

Cherokee is just 15 minutes away, with fine restaurants, museums, Indian reservation, and many sources of entertainment, including the well known Harrah's Cherokee Casino.

Downtown Waynesville (east of Maggie Valley and a short drive from Black Bear Lodge) is a vibrant town with fine shops, galleries, cafes and restaurants, tree-lined brick sidewalks, and many popular events.

Asheville is a little further east of Waynesville and has the closest airport.
The Biltmore (an 8,000 acre estate in Asheville with beautiful gardens and very nice restaurants) is very popular.

This brand new 'hideaway' provides rental guests the opportunity for a wonderful vacation in this very special and unique area of western North Carolina.
