This is a very nice rustic property, quite befitting the area of the mountains. Very easy check-in; the rooms are clean, comfortable and well appointed. A perfect spot as a base for hiking in the Gorges State Park and for other local attractions.

Overall great stay, extended an additional day. Only a minor complaint was lighting in kitchen and shower room could be better. Great location for waterfall sight-seeing, hiking, and dining.

Nice Room near the Blue Ridge Parkway
Nice room in a 4 room lodge. Semi secluded room facing the woods with a small porch. Comfortable bed. Perfect for a one night getaway if going to the Blue Ridge Mountains. Very nice Italian Restaurant nearby.

A true gem of a place to stay. Black Bear Lodge has a lodge with 4 apartments and an adjacent cabin. It was immaculate, the linens, towels and kitchen items (coffee maker, toaster oven, refrigerator, microwave) were all quality. Quiet with several amazing restaurants within easy driving distance. Parking was easy and free. Will definitely return for another stay at Black Bear Lodge.

The description of the property was accurate....no surprises. Check in was easy, the apartment was beautiful, very comfortable, clean, and inviting. There are several good places to dine nearby. Some great hikes within about 15 minutes. We will be back here for another mountain getaway in the near future. Highly recommend!!
