LOOKING FOR THAT SPECIAL GETAWAY AT THE LAKE?
YOU'VE FOUND IT AT A BEAR'S EYE VIEW!!
CHECK OUR AVAILABILITY CALENDAR FOR YOUR FAMILY VACATION.
This mountain hide-away is in the exclusive gated community of Bear Paw, overlooking scenic Lake Hiwassee and the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains.
This lovely house is four years young and features four bedrooms and three bathrooms, each with double vanities and tub/shower combinations.
On the main floor, you'll find solid oak hardwood floors and a high, two story tongue and groove pine ceiling. This level features an open family room with floor to ceiling windows overlooking the lake and mountains, a dining room, a stacked rock gas fireplace, television with surround sound, VCR and DVD, a fully-equipped kitchen with raised panel oak kitchen cabinets, two bedrooms, and a full bath. This floor leads to our deck with fantastic views!
The natural beauty of the lake and mountains during the day and the star-filled North Carolina sky at night can be seen from our deck as well as our family room and upstairs loft. If the night gets a little chilly, curl up in front of the fireplace with a good book (or make S'mores by an outside fire), or just relax in the outdoor hot tub after a great day of hiking or water activities.
The upper level has a master suite with solid oak hardwood floors, and a full bath. There is also a loft where you can sit and read or just enjoy the lake and mountains through the wall of windows.
The lower level has a bedroom, a living room with a television, VCR/DVD player and bookcase sound system, a full bathroom, and full-size washer and dryer. The living room opens to a deck with a full size hot tub that can accommodate up to six people.
Lake Hiwassee is an 18-mile long mountain lake which you can explore with your own boat or one rented from our full-service marina.
The Bear Paw resort is a gated community whose entrance is staffed 24 hours a day. The whole family can relax at the resort's pool, or get a game in on our tennis and basketball courts. There's even a playground and fishing pond for the kids, a clubhouse for family use, and a full service marina for all your boating needs.

Our women's discipleship group met here for a weekend of relaxation & fun. We got both. This house was perfect for our gathering. We cooked big meals and sat in comfy livingroom laughing & singing. The location is great as we got outdoors on the Nantahala for a 2 hour river ride full of adventure and laughs; and we played basketball and tennis at the Bear Paw community facility. Our stay was very good - the only complaint overall was our trip was too short...Recommended for: Age 55+, girls getaway, adventure seekers.

The home is on three levels, which provides plenty of private time when a large group is staying there. There is a lot of activities nearby, and the pool area was very nice on a hot day. The home is very well stocked with whatever you may need, and the owners are the best! Very thoughtful and careful attention to all details.Recommended for: Families with teenagers, sightseeing, romantic getaway, age 55+, families with young children, girls getaway, adventure seekers.

We recently stayed at Bear's Eye View with extended family and it was the perfect house for our family get-together. My parents stayed in the upstairs master bedroom, my brother and his family on the main floor and my family in the downstairs rooms. This house is ideal for a large or multiple family stay. Plenty of room for "togetherness" but also enables privacy when needed. The house was SPOTLESS and well appointed with everything we needed for our stay. Lake Hiwassee is one of the most beautiful lakes I have ever been on! we rented a pontoon boat several afternoons from Harber Cove Marina and it was as if the lake was our very own private playground. In western North Carolina eveything is spread out. Bear's Eye View is a great base location so you are within easy day trip distance to all of the activities of the area. We did a rafting trip on the Nantahala one day, just 1 hour away. Eileen was wonderful to work with, always very prompt in responding to correspondence and obviously concerned that we had all that was needed for a great time in their home. I would highly recommend Bear's Eye View. We look forward to returning again!Recommended for: Families with teenagers, sightseeing, romantic getaway, age 55+, families with young children, girls getaway, tourists without a car, adventure seekers.

This was our second time to stay here and it was a great time again. We love the back deck and weber grill. It is a great way to end a day of water sports on the lake. The house is easy to find and on the hill by itself so that you have plenty of privacy. We recommend it.Recommended for: Families with teenagers, romantic getaway, families with young children, adventure seekers.

My husband & I just returned from a wonderful weekend at Bear Paw with family and friends. This house was great!! The layout is really good for families with children. Our group enjoyed the back deck, fire pit, and view in the mornings and evenings; during the daytime we rented a pontoon boat and enjoyed the lake, hiked in the Ocoee River recreation area, and swam in the Bear Paw pool. The house was clean and well-appointed with everything you need for a relaxing vacation! It's location provides privacy and solitude. We'll definitely recommend it to friends!Recommended for: Families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, adventure seekers.

We had a wonderful time staying at Bear's Eye View. The house was extremely clean and what a wonderful view of the lake. Our family enjoyed rafting in the Ocoee Middle River in TN, just over the border. We also did a zipline adventure in Bryson City near the NOC Center. The marina at Bear Paw was a great place to rent a boat for the day and do some tubing. We hope to return next year if we can!

We stayed here in summer of 2009 and had a great time. The hot tub was great for sore muscles. The back deck was a great way to end the day watch the sun set on the lake. We really enjoyed our time here and recommend it!Recommended for: Families with teenagers, romantic getaway, families with young children, adventure seekers.

Great stay and comfortable cabin...best bets for us were rafting the Nantahala River with NOC and renting a boat down at the Bear Paw marina for an afternoon of swimming and tubing...also, "Shoe-booties" cafe in downtown Murphy was a favorite with the whole gang...thanks from Texas for a short vacation filled with laughs and memories...Did you find this review helpful?
