3 Bedroom Cabin in Old Fort

Black Bear Summit, formerly known as "Cool View Cabin," has spectacular views of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Lake Lure, and beyond that will make you stop and pause. This mountaintop log cabin in Gateway Mountain, a 3,000-acre nature preserve, is a wonderful getaway for family and friends yet close to all Western North Carolina attractions and activities. Stay on the mountain and enjoy all that Gateway Mountain has to offer including 2 lakes and a trout pond for catch-and-release fishing (no license required), a beautiful waterfall park, hiking trails, and abundant wildlife.
This lovely cabin has 3 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms featuring a Jacuzzi tub in one bath and a claw foot soaker tub in the other bath. A wood stove in the living area warms the soul on chilly nights and don't miss the beautiful sunrises and sunsets from the wrap-around deck. After a day of adventure enjoy the 6-person hot tub with the same spectacular views. There is also a fire pit for your enjoyment. Located 10 minutes off of I-40, trips to Black Mountain, Asheville, and the Blue Ridge Parkway are an easy 30-45 minutes; Lake Lure and Chimney Rock - 30 minutes.
While staying at Black Bear Summit, you'll enjoy an extensive selection of books, movies, games, and puzzles. Log into your own streaming accounts on the smart TV or peruse the extensive satellite channel selection. Take advantage of the owner's family's book of personal recommendations for food, drink, hiking, biking, and the area in general. Work remotely if you wish, via the fast wifi and workstation. Local and custom artwork throughout the cabin and a fully-stocked kitchen will make you feel at home.
