Black Bear Summit, formerly Cool View Cabin, offers awe-inspiring views of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Lake Lure, and the peaceful rolling ridges beyond. Nestled atop Gateway Mountain, a private, 3,000-acre nature preserve, this charming log cabin is the perfect retreat for family and friends seeking a quiet getaway that's still convenient to all that Western North Carolina has to offer.
