Description
Tuckaleechee Retreat Center is a Christian non-profit, which is home to the National Office for Children's Bible Ministries, Inc. We offer seven cabins/lodges of varying sizes, sleeping from 2-40 guests! The main lodge features a beautiful saltwater pool, which is available to all of our guests, open Memorial Day through Labor Day. All cabins have gas fireplaces (Firefly Lodge has an electric fireplace), fully equipped kitchens, grills, and hot tubs. Bed and bath linens are also provided! Activities available to all of our guests include the pool, basketball hoop, corn hole, and fire pit.
Bear Lodge offers five bedrooms, each with one queen bed and two sets of twin bunkbeds. Each bedroom has its own private bath. There is a large, fully equipped kitchen (two stoves, two dishwashers, two refrigerators, and plenty of prep space, pots/pans, plus silverware, utensils, etc.), and large dining room with 3 farmhouse-style tables. Adjacent to the dining room is a large family room with dual-sided gas fireplace (available October through April) and flat screen Roku TV/DVD.
Downstairs is a second living room with dual-sided gas fireplace (available October through April), flat screen Cable TV/DVD, pool table, carpetball table, piano, and common space for meetings or just hanging out. There is also a washer/dryer downstairs in the laundry room. Both top and bottom levels have decks overlooking the mountains. Enjoy the mountain view from the rocking chairs on the top deck. Relax in the hot tub on the lower level outdoor patio. Bear Lodge is the perfect place for your family reunion, men's, women's, or youth retreat, and so much more!
Parking area holds 10-12 cars. Additional parking space is available at the office, about 1/4 mile away.
Please Note: The driveway to Bear Lodge is steep and windy - 4 switchbacks up from our check-in office. Vehicles over the size of a 15 passenger van will not easily make it up the driveway and around the final corner. A large bus could park in our main parking lot by our office - please pre-arrange with guest services before arrival.
