About this property

Experience the serene beauty of Bryson City at Gentle Bear Lookout

  • Gentle Bear Lookout exudes a rustic charm, with a wooden interior, a fireplace centerpiece, and plush leather sofas for comfortable seating. Relax on the deck and take in the scenery and fresh mountain air. Gentle Bear is close to outdoor activities such as hiking, mountain biking, and horseback riding. You can also enjoy fishing, kayaking, or canoeing on the neaby lakes and streams.

    Although Gentle Bear has a rustic feel, it is equipped with modern amenities such as a Tesla charger, Wi-Fi, and a fully equipped kitchen. After a long day of outdoor activities, relax and unwind in the hot tub. Or sit around the fire pit, enjoy a bonfire and roast marshmellows under the stars.

    The open living room, kitchen, and dining room is a great space to relax after a day of exploring, cook dinner together, or watch your favorite movie. There is also a full size washer and dryer off the kitchen.
    Through the dining room, you will find a screened in porch. Perfect for gathering without the bugs!

    Where You'll Sleep:
    Downstairs you will find a Queen bedroom with ensuite full shower/tub combo bathroom
    Upstairs, a King bedroom with ensuite walk-in shower
    The upstairs loft and downstairs living room both have a Queen pull-out sofa for addtional sleeping

    The road to Gentle Bear is on an incline but is paved. The road turns to gravel when you pull into the driveway. Across the road from Gentle Bear, there is additional parking for a trailer.
