"Mountain Elegance with a Dash of Appalachian Style"
The Lodge at Bear River is a perfect combination of mountains and water all within ten minutes of the spa town of Hot Springs. The Lodge is a beautiful Appalachian style that will make you forget that you are only forty five minutes away from the delights of the “Paris of the South”, Asheville NC.
The area is rich in outdoor adventure from zip lines to a soak in the mineral waters of the hot springs. Perhaps, you enjoy taking in some of the creative talents that abound in Madison County, or want to capture the amazing beauty that is around each bend through the lens of your camera.

The lodge is an 1,800 square foot Adirondack lodge with vaulted ceilings, massive stone fireplace, attention to detail, and matching flagstone patio surrounding the lodge. There is a galley kitchen for heating, cooling and assembling food a catering company would bring in, a woman’s restroom with two stalls, and a single men’s restroom, both of which are handicapped accessible, three lodge serving tables and a large buffet table. The lodge is nestled in the mountains along with the sight and sound of the Big Laurel Stream with waterfront access for your wedding photos.
