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.

Top of Casey’s Mtn.
It was the top of the mountain! The location was perfect. My uncle and I fished the local rivers and we had access to miles and miles of fishing within minutes of the cabin. Very clean. Owner was very responsive. The only minor reason for a 4 rating was the hot top jets didn’t work on the high setting. Otherwise the cabin is perfect. Great stay!

Sweet cabin
We had a group of 4 ladies celebrating a birthday. The cabin was perfect for us since everyone had their own bed, comfortable TV seating, and a place in the hot tub! Cabin was decorated very nicely and very clean. We ate all our meals in, but it was close to plenty of restaurants if desired. Very close to Cherokee and the national park, also to Bryson City and Dillsboro. Really enjoyed the deck and the hot tub. Owners provided good directions and instructions. We would definitely return to the Cozy Bear Cabin!

Great Place on Casey Mountain
This is a great property to go to unwind and relax. The home was clean and inviting. Bobby and Jackie communicated very well with us. It is close to Cherokee and Bryson City. We took our grandson to ride on the Polar Express and it was an easy trip to get to Bryson City. My grandson wished he could have played the basketball game that was in the pictures, but it was not there. However, the other games and hot tub made up for that. We would definitely recommend this place to family and friends.

We had a great time at this house. The layout of the house makes it easy to use the kitchen while hanging out with people in the living room. We enjoyed the nice deck and hot tub surrounded by trees. The host responded quickly to any questions. We enjoyed trips to Cherokee, Bryson City, Great Smoky Mountains National Park, and Nantahala National Forest. Mingo Falls in Cherokee was especially pretty. We would definitely stay here again!

This was a beautiful place to stay for our family it had plenty of space. Toys for kids a game room and a hot tub. And restaurants, dollar general, family dollar, and grocery store maybe 10 minutes from the house. It’s peaceful and makes you feel at home. Wasn’t but 10 minutes from beautiful Cherokee and the new found gap road. We had a great trip and would definitely go back and stay again.

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!

Lovely Mountain Getaway
We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the Cozy Bear Cabin. Bobby and Jackie were so helpful and responsive and provided ideas of places/things to do in town. We loved the bear decor throughout the cabin. The views were amazing; we loved the rocking chairs and hot tub. The kitchen was well equipped for meals. Our kids loved the game room and movies. We will definitely recommend this cabin and hope to come back!

Great mountain retreat
Just as described, nice clean place & central location to many areas nearby. Perfect if you have kids although it was just 2 of us, we enjoyed the games. Loved the tree top patio & hot tub. Kitchen was great & well appointed except if you plan on cooking, buy/bring salt,pepper, herbs. Also need baggies, Saran Wrap or foil. No extra supplies have been left by renters (places we’ve stayed at usually have a nice collection). Also make sure you bring all toiletries (soap, shampoo etc). Would definitely stay again in the future.
