About this house rental

This 4 bedroom, 5.5 bathroom stunning mountain home is nestled right in the heart of Black Mountain in the Pisgah National Forest . Whether you're looking for a place to relax with family or friends, or hosting a business retreat, this is the place for you. Each bedroom is built like a suite, with its own full bath and enough beds and space for the entire family.

Upon arrival to Bama Bear Lodge, the first thing you will see is the covered front porch area with stone arches. Here you will find Adirondack swivel glider rockers waiting for you to sit and enjoy the breezes and mountain top views.

Upstairs offers magnificent views of the surrounding mountains and will take your breath away with the picturesque sunrises and sunsets. Make your way downstairs to the main floor and find a full kitchen, open floor plan living and dining room with a gas log fireplace, and the master suite. Two glass French doors lead you out onto the upper patio where you can lounge by the fire-pit and take in the fresh mountain air. No mountain home would be complete without a full basement entertainment area. Choose between a thriller in the private media room, or challenge yourself to a game of shuffleboard, darts, or a game of cards in the game room. If you find yourself hungry or thirsty in the middle of a heated match of Uno, just make your way over to the second kitchen/bar area in the basement. Before turning in for the night, we recommend you take advantage of gazing at the stars while relaxing in the 8 person hot tub on the lower patio. You won't regret it!

The house is minutes away from downtown Black Mountain, a short drive to Asheville and walking distance to several trails leading to the Upper Falls. If you need to take care of business while staying at Bama Bear Lodge, there is unlimited high speed internet and WIFI to meet your needs.

Come let yourself escape the hustle and bustle of every day stresses at Bama Bear Lodge. Your adventure awaits you.

This rental exceeded my expectations. Our group included 20 family members -children through adult. The house was beautiful and very comfortable. There was enough room for all of us to relax, visit and eat. The owner (Wes) was nearby and always available. But we never needed anything as the house was completely furnished with dishes, kitchen appliances, games etc. The home is up the hill from the main road so the views are spectacular. It didn't take long to get to the town of Black Mountain or Ashville. My family and I highly recommend this property.

The house was spectacular both inside and out. The rooms and layout are much bigger than what the pictures show. The homeowner was very resourceful. Do take note that the house is at the top of the mountain, it is beautiful, but also 25-30 minutes up or down the mountain.

We so enjoyed our stay. The home was a perfect place for our large family to gather and enjoy each other, and the hosts were so helpful. They really thought of everything to make our stay comfortable and fun. We even hired a photographer to come and take photos of our family, and the back patio made for beautiful pictures! Highly recommend!

Spent Thanksgiving with my family at this wonderful property. So peaceful. The house has everything you need. We took advantage of the private trailhead to go view the Upper Catawba Waterfall. What an awesome site. The trail is not easy but still doable for most able body adults and teens. There is another smaller waterfall that is easier to get to if you if you are not comfortable with maneuvering heights. The hot tub was was a great treat after our hike. The house is high enough to be away from light pollution so the sky lights up at night with a heavenly light show of stars. Even saw a shooting star while we were gazing. Plenty of space and games in house. Thank you to the Hubbard's for such a great weekend filled with family memories.

Our group of 18 friends had a great stay at this house. The house was clean, spacious (we even had some extra sleeping spots), well stocked, and beautiful. We had everything we needed and would definitely recommend! Thanks for everything!

We felt right at home
We felt right at home
It was an incredible getaway for our entire family to celebrate the new year. Plenty of room for everyone to have their own space yet be together at the same time. The kitchen was fully stocked with any item you could possibly need. We especially liked how all the cabinets were labeled, as well as all the light switches. The owners were extremely accommodating to our every need ... most importantly when we had the danger of a snowstorm headed our way. We truly appreciated their hospitality and will definitely like to come back again .... the view was incredible and the nearby hiking trail wonderful. Thank you Wes & Susan!

Great mountain property for all ages
Great mountain property for all ages
Our family of three generations rated this our favorite mountain property—and we’ve rented several good ones in the past. The property offers numerous gathering spaces but still feels like a home; the family shuffleboard tournament was great evening entertainment. Do take care hiking the Catawba Falls Trail from this high end—the drops are quite steep. Our group elected to hike all the way to the bottom trailhead parking lot for a pickup rather than chance getting caught at dusk in a slow climb back up.

Nice property but intrusive host
Nice property but intrusive host
The property was beautiful. However, the host walked into the house uninvited several times throughout the weekend. He also watched the house and would text us when we simply had a window open to enjoy the fall weather. Completely unacceptable intrusive behavior and put a damper on the trip.
