Two bedrooms, full kitchen, game room. Sleeps 8.
The Chattooga River runs behind our property — wild, cold, and ancient. From your porch, you'll hear it before you see it. Mornings begin with coffee and mist. Evenings with stars so thick they look spilled.
Private shoreline for fishing, wading, and quiet contemplation.
Dozens of hiking paths from our doorstep — from easy loops to summit climbs.
Each cabin has a dedicated dark-sky viewing area with telescope.
Complimentary farm-fresh breakfast and evening firepit gatherings.
Just minutes from downtown Blue Ridge and the Nantahala National Forest, yet worlds away from the noise.

"We came for the river and stayed for the silence. Black Bear Lodge is the kind of place that reminds you what vacation was always supposed to feel like."
