Tucked into Bear River Lodge along Big Laurel Creek, this updated 3BR/2.5BA mountain home delivers an exceptional setting with the amenities to match. Recently refreshed inside and out - new roof, new paint, encapsulated crawlspace, and granite kitchen countertops - it's move-in ready with peace of mind built in. The open layout features vaulted ceilings, a stone-surround gas fireplace, and a renovated kitchen with new stainless appliances, granite countertops, tile backsplash, and walk-in pantry with wine storage. The main-level primary suite offers vaulted ceilings, dual closets, and a spa bath with soaking tub, walk-in shower, and double vanity. A flex room adapts as study or office. Outside, wrap-around decking and a vaulted screened porch with electricity and hot tub hookup invite year-round living. Renowned trout fishing on Big Laurel Creek, and AT trailhead access in nearby Hot Springs are minutes away. STRs permitted. Oversized two-car garage with workshop rounds out this thoughtfully updated Bear River Lodge retreat.
