About this lodge

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.

Amazing cabin and hosts! Great location! Highly recommend!
8 / 10Excellent·Apr 2026
This cabin had lots of space and beds, especially for the cost. The kids loft area was cute. We loved the hot tub. They had plenty of towels and gave you supplies for daily clothes washing and dishwasher which was appreciated. Beds were comfy. Plenty of seating for the size. Some of the cons were that a few items were not working properly (like foos ball table & hot tub cover bars that help take cover off and on). Ping pong table is a miniature size which I didn’t expect. The kitchen had lots of cookware items, but it only had salt and pepper as far as cooking goes so be prepared. I think a small bottle of cooking oil would be a cheap addition that would make things easier for guests. The cabin is on a wooded hill but the hill looks down on a highway so there’s a bit of road noise if you’re outside. I expected a rustic wooded vibe, but the road noise kinda changed that especially during the day. I don’t think they misrepresented this, but it was just different than I expected in this way.

Bobby was very communicative before the stay, and answered any questions we had while on the trip in a very timely manner. The hot tub and the game room were fun activities to do as a family. The house was cozy and the perfect place to wind down after a busy day. With the location in the middle of Cherokee and Bryson City, you always had plenty of options for places to visit.
