Looking for the perfect mountain lodge? Black Bear Lodge is the perfect combination of recreation and relaxation. Surrounded by US Forestry Service Land and in the heart of the Aska Adventure Area, you will be minutes from the Toccoa River for tubing, canoeing, and fishing, as well as minutes to hiking and waterfall trails. The cabin's views will make you feel as though you're tucked right into the mountainside, with blue and green vistas sprawling out in front of the cabin.

The wrap-around main-level deck is great for entertaining guests, having breakfast at the small log-style table, or enjoying the outdoor wood-burning fireplace with rocking chairs. The rocked entryway opens up on the main level to the kitchen with a stone-front breakfast bar, granite countertops, and a 6-person dining table. The breakfast bar offers 4 whiskey barrel & iron stools for additional seating. The lovely kitchen and dining area flows into the living room. This cozy space is the ideal spot for lounging on the leather sofas, as a unique cedar log mantle complements the stone gas log fireplace and shelves the flat-screen television. Watch a movie, have a cup of hot chocolate, enjoy your own wine & cheese tray (Downtown Blue Ridge offers many interesting wines and cheeses to sample!), or maybe just take in the mountains from all the windows the main level offers. The main-level bedroom is decorated with Western-style furniture, including an antique leather saddle, a handcrafted barnwood king-size bed, an ornately carved armoire, and vintage cowboy boots. The full bath that joins this bedroom features a tile shower and is also decorated with Western-style accents: antler-adorned mirrors, a log slab countertop, and double vanity washbasins.

Venture up the round log staircase on reclaimed log slabs for steps to a unique feature: a skywalk from the upper bedrooms and bathroom to a balcony with rocking chairs for a bird's-eye view of the unblemished mountains. Imagine witnessing the local wildlife on the grounds below from the rocking chairs, endless stargazing, or just listening to the sound of rain on the tin roof above on this delightful balcony. This level has two separate bedrooms, each with its own flat-screen television. One bedroom has two twin log beds with a TV and the other bedroom a king-size bed and TV. Just a step from either of these bedrooms is a separate full bath, which has double vanities on a log slab and another tiled shower.

Ready for a game of pool or a dip in the hot tub? Take the stairs to the finished basement level, where you'll find an awesome pool table, another gas log fireplace, sofa & chair, the fourth bedroom, and another full bath featuring a tile shower. This bedroom has two sets of round log bunk beds, so a total of 4 twin beds are in this room. In the game room, the gas log fireplace is topped with another cedar mantle and flat-screen television. Open the glass doors to the hot tub and take in the mountains as the bubbling tub and steam soak your cares away. With these amenities and space, Black Bear Lodge is perfect for a girls' or guys' trip, family vacations, or group trips to the mountains!
