Little Bear Lodge - Hot Tub - Game Table - Mountain Views - Five minutes to Blowing Rock!

Quiet, tree-lined mountain views with all the comforts of a well-appointed, beautiful home, just minutes from the best the mountains can offer! Enjoy spectacular long-range mountain views from the porch swing, a relaxing soak in the hot tub, and the best location in the mountains – just 7 minutes to downtown Blowing Rock, consistently ranked one of the best small towns (Southern Living, USA Today, Expedia, Trip Advisor and more). You're even closer to award-winning dining options, the Blue Ridge Parkway, hiking, skiing and the beloved Tweetsie Railroad, while about 10 minutes to Appalachian State University and downtown Boone, Starbucks, Publix, Earth Fare, Walgreens and more.

Arriving at the spectacular 3,800 foot elevation of Little Bear Lodge is easy via the well-maintained yet quiet road on Appalachian Ski Mountain. With paved parking for 2 vehicles, you'll enter though the front door into the main level. Just past the powder room you'll be greeted with a vaulted ceiling living room, windows overlooking the undeveloped mountainside and a stone fireplace. Comfortable leather furniture is arranged around the fireplace and the 55” Smart HDTV. Enjoy movies from the BluRay or download your favorites with the reliable WIFI. Take in the views from inside or by stepping out to enjoy the cool, refreshing mountain air on the expansive deck. A full 18' deep and partially covered, the all-wood deck's year-round mountain views await you. There is a café table with 4 chairs, a small table for two, Adirondack chairs, a porch swing, a firepit, and a gas grill.

The kitchen is well stocked with everything you'll need to prepare anything from a quick snack to a full meal, including newer appliances – with a spacious side-by-side refrigerator. Morning coffee is a snap with a Keurig coffeemaker. Prefer brewing a pot instead? The Cuisinart is ready. The whole group can fit at the spacious solid wood dining table with a live edge wood bench on one side and a bay window overlooking the mountains behind it.

When ready to retreat, the master suite on the main level overlooks the mountainside and is well-appointed with a King bed, TV, ceiling fan and a private sliding door to the deck with the porch swing – the perfect place to sip your morning coffee while taking in the beautiful wooded mountain views, as if tucked away in your private tree house. Your private master bathroom features double vanities, an expansive full length mirror, separate shower, Jacuzzi soaking tub and private commode closet.

Step downstairs to a second living area with comfortable furnishings around another stone fireplace, TV, foosball and air hockey tables, and closeted full-size washer and dryer. Grab your towel by the door, which opens to the covered lower deck where the Hot Springs hot tub awaits. Also on this level are the second and third bedrooms, and a spacious full bathroom. One bedroom has a King size bed, TV, and ceiling fan while the other offers a mountain view while sleeping 3 with twin bunks and a third twin size bed.

Kids of all ages can count just how many bears can be found in the decorations while delighting in a restful retreat close to everything, at Little Bear Lodge.
