Yogi Bear

In the beautiful mountains of Maggie Valley, Yogi Bear sits quietly on a small footprint within the gated community of Dogwood Trails. This custom built, 3 bedroom, 2 bath log home sleeps six comfortably providing a welcome escape from everyday life in its peaceful mountain setting.

Walking up a short number of stairs to the front door, you arrive to a large open living space, kitchen, dining area combined with main queen bedroom and bath all located on the main floor. Easy one level access for anyone in your group. Find yourself cozying up in front of the gas fireplace while enjoying the big screen TV above or reading your favorite book. The chef in your party will enjoy being able to cook and converse with everyone in the room as you recall your days’ adventures. Some in your group will want to just sit and visit on the spacious back deck and listen to the creek below. Enjoy your dinner outside if you like, with the 4-person high top table. Relax, relax, relax is the name of the game.

Moving upstairs, this home has two additional queen bedrooms, one with its own personal indoor 2-person sauna plus additional workspace area for those of you who can’t quite leave the office at home. A full-size washer and dryer as well as an additional full bath are also located on the upper level. Central heat/AC, Roku with Smart TVs in each bedroom and living area available to log into your favorite streaming apps, Spectrum High-Speed Internet and Wi-Fi, ceiling fans in each bedroom and full-size washer/dryer complete the package. Come get away from it all at Yogi Bear.
