3 Bedroom Cabin in Vilas

Welcome to The Great Bear Lodge! This cozy cabin is located just 5 miles away from historic Valle Crucis, the home of the Mast General Store, this home is close to many mountain adventures and wonderful local shopping, restaurants, the Boone Golf Course, Tweetsie Railroad Amusement Park, High Gravity Adventures Zipline and Aerial Park, and Appalachian Ski Mountain.
Experience mountain elegance at its finest. Enjoy the main living space with leather furniture around the large flat-screen TV and a gas log fireplace. The dining area and kitchen have everything needed for a mountain getaway. The gracious outdoor living space includes a covered deck with a Primo gas grill and smoker, patio table, picnic table, and propane-powered heater for those chilly mountain evenings.
Spread out in the downstairs recreation room and enjoy the TV, foosball, shuffleboard, and a wet bar with mini-fridge and microwave. Outside on the lower level, enjoy the hot tub on a covered patio with the fire pit (owners provide free firewood) overlooking the mountain view.
Time for bed? The Great Bear Lodge offers three wonderful sleeping spaces, one on each level. There is a King suite in the semi-enclosed loft with a private bathroom with shower, a queen bedroom on the main level with a hall bath with tub/shower, and a bunk room on the lower level with a twin-over-full bunk and a twin trundle and a third bath down the hall with tub/shower. The lower-level family room sofa also converts into a queen sleeper for a bonus sleeping area.
All five TVs in the home are Smart TVs. Enjoy 150mbps Wi-Fi, and guests with electric vehicles can utilize a Level 1 EV charging station at the parking area. The paved parking area comfortably accommodates three cars, and access from the parking level to the main level entrance is by a staircase from the parking area.
