Bearfoot Lodge features two king suites, each with a private bath, TV, and workspace. The first-floor suite includes a built-in kids’ bunk, while the upstairs loft suite overlooks the living area for a unique open design.

Inside, the spacious living room with big-screen TV and handcrafted log beams provides a cozy gathering space. The fully stocked kitchen includes an extensive coffee setup, high-top bar seating, and outdoor dining on the deck. A laundry room with full-size washer and dryer adds convenience for longer stays.
