About this property
Bama Bear Lodge: A Larger than Life Mountain View Escape
This 4 bedroom, 5.5 bathroom stunning mountain home is nestled right in the heart of Black Mountain in the Pisgah National Forest . Whether you're looking for a place to relax with family or friends, or hosting a business retreat, this is the place for you. Each bedroom is built like a suite, with its own full bath and enough beds and space for the entire family.
Upon arrival to Bama Bear Lodge, the first thing you will see is the covered front porch area with stone arches. Here you will find Adirondack swivel glider rockers waiting for you to sit and enjoy the breezes and mountain top views.
Upstairs offers magnificent views of the surrounding mountains and will take your breath away with the picturesque sunrises and sunsets. Make your way downstairs to the main floor and find a full kitchen, open floor plan living and dining room with a gas log fireplace, and the master suite. Two glass French doors lead you out onto the upper patio where you can lounge by the fire-pit and take in the fresh mountain air. No mountain home would be complete without a full basement entertainment area. Choose between a thriller in the private media room, or challenge yourself to a game of shuffleboard, darts, or a game of cards in the game room. If you find yourself hungry or thirsty in the middle of a heated match of Uno, just make your way over to the second kitchen/bar area in the basement. Before turning in for the night, we recommend you take advantage of gazing at the stars while relaxing in the 8 person hot tub on the lower patio. You won't regret it!
The house is minutes away from downtown Black Mountain, a short drive to Asheville and walking distance to several trails leading to the Upper Falls. If you need to take care of business while staying at Bama Bear Lodge, there is unlimited high speed internet and WIFI to meet your needs.
Come let yourself escape the hustle and bustle of every day stresses at Bama Bear Lodge. Your adventure awaits you.

About the host
Hosted by Wes and Susan Hibbard
Retired contractor and school teacher, who decided to make their dream home for extended family getaways a reality. Currently the two reside in South Carolina, only a short 2 hour drive from the property. Every detail from the wood on the trim to the custom iron chandelier were hand picked and installed by the owners.
Why they chose this property
The owners have traveled to the Black Mountain area on numerous occasions between youth retreats to family reunions to personal leisurely getaways and decided that when the time was right, they wanted to find a piece of this place to call their own.
What makes this property unique
This home was built from the ground up by the owners. They searched for months for the perfect piece of property. They built the house large enough to invite all of their friends and family while still providing you the seclusion and intimate space to enjoy the views and scenery that surround.
