Welcome to Black Bear Sauna and Plunge! Nestled on a quiet street in Beech Mountain, you'll find this updated A-frame ready for a relaxing break. The living room features modern, clean lines with leather seating, bright windows, large screen TV ready for ESPN and sports viewing, and gas log firepit. A desk off the living room provides a great space for work or school if you need to bring some along. The kitchen is bright and airy, with stainless appliances, a Keurig and standard coffee pot, and a table for four. The deck can be accessed from the kitchen. For sleeping, the main level has a queen bedroom with TV, deck access, and a window AC unit. Nearby is a small bedroom with a TeePee twin bed and a twin trundle with the washer and dryer. The home has 2 full bathrooms. One upstairs with a shower and one on the main level with a tub/shower. Off the back deck is a flat yard with a fenced in dog-run for smaller dogs, a barrel sauna, and a new hot tub for guest to enjoy. Soak off your aches from an adventure of hiking or skiing! **Please note the previous hot tub/cold plunge was destroyed by Hurricane Helene. A new, traditional hot tub is now installed and available for guest use. The sauna survived the storm, and a new cold plunge tank is being added in May 2025!** Also located just a short distance from the home is the Beech Mountain Club where guests can enjoy access to private restaurants & events, professional tennis, a fitness center, pickleball courts, and a heated pool to name just a few amenities. Guest passes must be requested (Sports-level membership is available) and the transfer fee must be paid for in advance to the Club. Additionally, the Buckeye Recreation Center and numerous trout fishing streams are located close by and we can even connect you with the best local fly fishing guides.
