Cozy Bear Lodge on top of Casey's Mountain! - Great Location!!

Welcome to Cozy Bear Lodge where you can relax and enjoy the mountains!

The lodge is located within 20 minutes to the Great Smoky Mountain National Park entrance and conveniently located right off of the Great Smoky Mountain Expressway, which leads to Bryson City, Sylva, Waynesville, and Lake Junaluska! With Cherokee being the next town over, you can enjoy the Native American culture of the arts, stores, restaurants, and Harrah's Casino!

Enjoy the rocking chairs, cook on the grill, or rest in the hot tub on the back deck, or play checkers in the cozy corner of the living room or sit around the electric fireplace and watch a movie! Head down to the lower level and play foosball, ping pong, practice your putting, or play a boardgame!

The lodge has two bedrooms, each with a queen bed, and a private loft with two twin beds. There is a full bathroom on the main level and a half bathroom on the lower level. Also on the lower level is a washer and dryer if you need.

Cozy Bear is the top most property on Casey's Mountain, so enjoy some privacy being surrounded by trees! There is also a winter mountain view to enjoy from the large windows in the living room and dining area!

Due to being close to the expressway and having all the local places easily accessible, you may hear some traffic noises while enjoying the deck. You might also be able to hear the steam train go by on the tracks that run along the Tuckasegee River!

We hope that we can make your stay in the western Carolina mountains as enjoyable as it has been for us!

A few additional items:
-We have a 12 cup drip coffee maker.
-Sheets and towels are provided for your use.

*Please note that 4-wheel drive is needed to get up the mountain during times of snow on the ground.

Perfect. Just perfect.

The views were amazing and home was spotless! The privacy was unexpected and getting to the cabin was easier than I thought. (During snow season I would definitely recommend a truck.) Perfect place for a couple or small family!

The cabin is an oasis: super clean, everything works, the hot tub is delightful, the deck was a highlight of just being. The kitchen is well stocked with all the basics. The TVs and internet access work beautiful. I was grateful that I brought salt n pepper, some spices, sugar, olive oil -- as there is absolutely nothing there for that and the grocery store is a good drive. Definitely will be back for the quiet and the stillness. Thank you!

Awesome accommodations, great location. Loved the hot tub and the flexibility to be able to cook or go into town for dinner. It is a smaller town so not alot of dinner options but if your looking for a home town feel like we were it was perfect!

Great Polar Express Weekend

Our original booking had to cancel the day before we were supposed to leave and we were so happy this property was available! It was perfect for our family. Many wonderful amenities and close to all the attractions. The kids had their own spaces and the hot tub was awesome. Would definitely consider staying here again!
