Gather the family or large group at Bear's Creek Lodge, where year-round outdoor recreation, from skiing to hiking, is minutes away – less than 5 mins from Beech Mountain resort. You’ll love this spacious 3,000-sq-ft cabin on 2 private acres with a large creek. Relax in a peaceful oasis: Soak in the hot tub, have a blast in the game room, and make memories around the firepit. Enjoy nearby trails for hiking + mountain-biking. Every comfort + convenience is here, from full kitchen to washer-dryer.

The Space
Step into the mudroom at Bear's Creek Lodge via convenient keyless entry and make your way into the open-concept living area with kitchen, dining area, and great room. Settle into the great room’s comfy seating, warm yourself with the gas fireplace, and snuggle up with provided throw blankets – plus pillows. No worries about the forgetting to turn off the fireplace; a timer offers options up to 120 minutes and shuts off automatically. Exult in the spaciousness afforded by the soaring 25-foot vaulted ceilings and the natural light streaming through huge windows.

Steps away, prep and cook your best culinary creations in the fully equipped kitchen with all the standard major appliances – refrigerator, stove/oven, dishwasher, microwave. Handy small appliances – crockpot, waffle-maker, and toaster – are also at your fingertips. You’ll find plenty of counterspace – including the kitchen island – and all the cookware, bakeware, dishware, flatware, glassware, serving-ware, storage containers, and utensils you need to prepare and serve your favorite recipes.

Grab your morning hot beverage from the coffee bar, featuring both drip coffeemaker and Keurig. You’ll also find a hot-water kettle, along with k-cups, teas, creamer, and sweeteners.

Dine at the bench-style table for 10-12, supplemented by barstool seating for 3 at the kitchen island (also a sweet spot to sip hot beverages or enjoy breakfast, lunch or a snack).

Or dine al fresco at the table for 4 as you watch the sun set from the back deck – which you can easily access through sliders from the inside dining area. You’ll find a gas grill on the front porch, along with a table for 2, where you can enjoy a hot or cold beverage.

While you’re outside, explore 2 gorgeous acres, check out breathtaking views, discover nearby hiking trails, listen to the water rush down Bear's Creek, and observe wildlife – guests love the deer visitors. Or just relax on Adirondack seating on the covered deck. Best of all, soak your stresses away in the 6-person hot tub off the master bedroom.

In the evening, gather the group as you laugh, tell stories, and make memories and s’mores around the firepit.

Back inside, enjoy your favorite movies, shows, and sports on the fully finished basement’s 55" ROKU Smart TV with DVD player as you stretch out on the comfy, oversized sectional or in one of the two recliners in the warmth of the cozy electric fireplace. Use your own log-ins to access popular streaming channels.

Steps away, have a blast playing pool and arcade games in the game room. You’ll find board games and kids’ books here, too.

After a full day of skiing on Beech Mountain, you’ll welcome the mudroom’s drip trays for wet boots and plenty of hangers for bulky winter coats, followed by a relaxing warm-up in the hot tub. Whether you’ve been skiing, exploring all the local area has to offer, or just hanging out enjoying the many amenities of Bear's Creek Lodge, head for a restful night’s sleep in your choice of 5 bedrooms, all with TVs, as well as fresh and extra soft linens.
