Farm Bear Lodge operates as a family-owned campground set on open terrain alongside a creek in the North Carolina mountains. The property provides drive-in access, though visitors should prepare for rough road conditions leading to the site. Standard amenities include drinking water, restrooms with showers, and ADA accessibility.
Cell service reaches the campground, but WiFi signals remain weak in this rural setting. The nearby creek offers a spot for picnics and water access. Campers can explore additional places to camp around Bryson City or visit Deep Creek Tube Center & Campground for tubing activities. Firewood is available on-site, and campfires are permitted. Reservations are accepted for stays.
Description
The whole, large group will enjoy easy/quick access to the Smoky Mtn Ntl Park and downtown Bryson from Farm Bear Lodge. Our cabin is on 40+ acres that backs up to the Smoky Mtn Ntl Park near the "Road to Nowhere Entrance" of the park. There is a large creek below that can be heard from the decks/firepit areas of the lodge. There is a trail down to a mountain stream and the creek if you wish to spend some time there. Our driveway is an easy paved access all year for cars and motorcycles. You'll enjoy ample space in this recently renovated, farmhouse lodge styled setting many entertainment options, a wonderful view and a peaceful setting.
Farm Bear Lodge is spacious with the main floor having an open living/dining area along with the master bed bath and an additional bed/bath. Downstairs is a large, living/game area and 3 beds/2baths. One bedroom below is connected to the bunk rooms as a family area. There is one step up to the foundation of the main floor and then it is flat throughout. Both floors have decks or balconies to enjoy the view and creek sounds. The hot tub is on the bottom floor. Being in the rural mountains, this lodge has satellite wifi internet (good for most things but not streaming), satellite Dish network tv and DVD players for media entertainment in addition to our pool table, shuffleboard, hot tub, etc.
We collectively call our family's property Three Little Bears Retreat, and we have a few other cabins on the property that may be available for an even larger group if you all want to stay nearby. Our other cabins on the property are 3 Little Bears Retreat, Sky Bear Lodge, and Air Bear Glamping (an Airstream). Find or follow us at 3bearsbryson.
