Welcome to Bearadise Lodge — where mountain charm meets income potential. Ideally located between Bryson City and Cherokee, this mostly furnished, retreat offers the perfect blend of relaxation and investment opportunity. Step inside to a soaring vaulted great room filled with natural light from dramatic fixed-glass windows and anchored by a stunning stacked-stone fireplace. The open-concept kitchen features stainless appliances, a breakfast bar, and dining area designed for gathering after a day of mountain adventures. Also includes a spacious bedroom with private balcony access and a full bath. Upstairs, the open loft overlooks the great room and leads to a private primary suite complete with vaulted ceilings, its own balcony, a jetted soaking tub, and step-in shower — your personal sanctuary. Lower level expands the entertainment space with a large rec room, third bedroom, full bath, and bonus room, offering flexibility for a flex room. Outside, unwind in the hot tub under the stars, gather around the firepit, or enjoy the expansive deck. Whether you're looking for a short-term rental, a private mountain escape, or both, delivers the complete experience. Check out virtual tour!
