Bear Creek Lodge was exactly as described but even better in person. The area all around the cabin is beautiful! The cabins creek side is even more wooded and enchanting than we expected. Our two dachshunds loved exploring around the creek and we all enjoyed a Saturday night fire pit. The interior of cabin is very cute, charming and cozy. Wasnt as chilly outside as hoping so didnt get to enjoy the fireplace. Kitchen very well equipped and we prepared most meals at the cabin. Cabin is very close to Blue Ridge as well as several other cute towns for exploring. Easy access to mountain drives with amazing views. There was quite a bit of rain this week and the covered porch overlooking creek s even better in the rain. could go on and on because it was a great time. Oh, be sure to take the scenic railway train while you are here. Worth it!
