Tucked along the peaceful shoreline of a private lake in Cherry Log, Swimming Bear Lodge is a refined mountain retreat designed for unforgettable group getaways. With five spacious bedrooms and five full baths, this expansive lodge comfortably sleeps up to 20 guests, offering the perfect balance of togetherness and privacy for families, friends, and special gatherings.
From the moment you arrive, the setting invites you to slow down and settle in. The home opens to generous deck space that captures sweeping views of the water, creating a natural backdrop for everything from morning coffee to sunset cocktails. Just steps away, a private platform dock extends over the lake, making it easy to spend your days fishing, paddling, or simply enjoying the calm.
Inside, the lodge is thoughtfully appointed with luxurious furnishings that blend elevated comfort with mountain charm. Each space is designed to feel both welcoming and refined, with ample room for large groups to gather without ever feeling crowded. Whether you are sharing meals, playing games, or unwinding after a day outdoors, the layout flows effortlessly to support every moment.
One of the home's most inviting features is the screened outdoor living area. Complete with a fireplace, television, and ping pong table, it offers a year-round space to relax and connect, protected from the elements while still immersed in the surrounding nature. It is the kind of place where mornings turn into afternoons and no one is in a rush to leave.
Evenings are best spent outside on the firepit patio overlooking the water. As the light fades and the lake reflects the sky, it becomes the perfect setting for conversation, laughter, and quiet moments alike.
Swimming Bear Lodge is also pet-friendly, welcoming up to two dogs so no one has to be left behind. Designed with groups in mind and set in a truly special location, this Cherry Log escape offers an effortless blend of luxury, comfort, and the kind of natural beauty that brings everyone together.
