Butler Cabin | TN Mountain Lodge: sleeps 22+ lake, hikes, hot tub, Sauna

9 Bedroom Cabin in Butler

The Brown Bear Lodge is located in the smoky mountains-30 minutes from Boone, NC. This 8,000 square foot lodge can comfortably sleep 22 people and on a youth retreat once slept close to 60 people.
It overlooks Watagua lake, and you will be able to go kayaking, paddle boarding, fishing, and swimming. You can also hike out your front door to the Appalachian Trail. When you are finished with your hike you can come home and enjoy a hot tub and sauna.
(Boat rentals are available at Cove Ridge and Fish Springs marinas on Watauga lake.)
Get ready for a high quality lodge. Huge stone fire places, bears carved into the wood and real bear rug, and beautiful sights.
*Kitchen: HUGE Island and all the cooking supplies you could need.
*Playroom: The playroom has a large fort, ping pong table, drum set, seesaw, TV, swing and much more.
*Deck: The deck has four eating areas with tables. Enjoy eating outside. It also has a twin size bed swing and lots of other areas to relax.
*Garage: The three car garage is loaded with toys for kids to enjoy- scooters, tricycles, etc.
*Living rooms (2): There are two living room spaces. Both have a large fire place.
*Bedrooms: Each bedroom has a theme (Dancing Bears, Red Fox, Green Frog, African Safari and more)
*Laundry rooms: There are two laundry rooms- both with a washer and dryer
You are renting the entire lodge so you will have access to everything. The only exception is a closet where the owners keep their personal clothes.
The Brown Bear Lodge is a half-way up a mountain and is surrounded on three sides by a national park. Get ready for an amazing view! It's 3/4 of a mile from the community entrance- which is directly across from the lake. When we go to the lake we normally walk or pop in the car.
