Bear Paw Lodge

Tucked into the North Georgia mountains with peaceful, long-range views, Bear Paw Lodge is everything a true Blue Ridge cabin should be; warm, rustic, welcoming, and surrounded by nature. With bear-themed décor, rich wood textures, and cozy nooks throughout, this pet-friendly retreat invites you to slow down, settle in, and savor the mountain life.

Inside, you’re greeted by the charm of two-toned wood paneling, natural stone accents, and a wall of windows that fill the space with natural light. The open-concept living area is designed for connection, featuring a plush seating area centered around a beautiful fireplace and a Smart TV, perfect for movie nights or lazy afternoons. The dining area comfortably seats eight, and the fully equipped kitchen is a standout, complete with custom wood cabinetry, granite countertops, and a live-edge breakfast bar for three. Whether you’re whipping up a hearty breakfast or gathering for a special meal, this space brings everyone together.

With four bedrooms and 3.5 baths, there’s room for everyone to unwind. Each bedroom features a king bed and its own inviting style, while a full-size bed is tucked into a sleeping loft upstairs plus a full-size Murphy bed provides even more flexibility for groups or families. Every space feels intentionally designed for rest, comfort, and a little mountain magic.

Step outside, and the experience continues. The side screened-in deck offers a serene lounge area with a wood-burning fireplace, cushioned seating, and a mounted TV, making it a favorite spot in any season. On the main level deck and lower patio, Adirondack chairs invite you to take in the view with a drink in hand, while the bubbling hot tub and crackling fire pit create the perfect setting for evenings under the stars.

Located just 16 miles from downtown Blue Ridge, Bear Paw Lodge puts you within easy reach of some of the area’s best attractions like Lake Blue Ridge, the Aska Adventure Area, hiking trails along the Appalachian Trail, Mercier Orchards, local wineries, ziplining, and the Blue Ridge Scenic Railway. Whether you’re heading out to explore or simply soaking up the peace and quiet, this is a place where you can truly unplug, recharge, and make lasting memories.
