About this property

Near Murphy, North Carolina-Smokeyview Home-Bear Paw-Lake Hiwassee-Amazing View

Our spacious mountain home, is located at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in Bear Paw, near Murphy, NC., and has a $Million View of the lake and mountains. It features four bedrooms, with queen beds, and three bathrooms, each with double vanities, high Kohler toilets, and tiled showers. We now have STARLINK as our internet provider and the speed is 100-200 Mbps. We completed a beautiful renovation in May 2022, so everything is modern and updated.
The upper level features the master suite, along with an en suite bathroom and landing with a lounge chair and spectacular views. The landing is the perfect place to curl up with a good book.
The middle floor has two bedrooms, a bath with soaking tub and shower, and high Kohler toilet, living room, dining area and kitchen. The open living room has a stacked stone gas fireplace with a timer/thermostat which is very easy to operate. Wood floors and soaring tongue and groove ceilings add to the warmth. The well-supplied kitchen has quartz countertops and stainless steel appliances, including a French door refrigerator with icemaker, a convection and air fryer stove, over-the-stove microwave and dishwasher. The dining table easily seats eight, and the barstools and bar are convenient for quick meals. This floor leads to two decks: a covered area with a six-foot cedar swing, dining table and chairs; the other with chaise lounges and a gas grill.. Bird feeders attract many colorful birds and hummingbirds, which provide hours of entertainment.
The basement level has an additional bedroom, bath, living area and basement area with full-sized washer/dryer and ping pong table. There is a large deck with a five-foot wing.
Each level has a television with Hulu, tiled showers, high Kohler toilets, double vanities and plenty of closet space. Ceiling fans in each room add to the comfort, as does the zoned HVAC system.
The view of the lake and mountains from both of the decks is beautiful, as are the views from the upper and lower levels. Our home is located in Bear Paw, which is the only development on gorgeous Lake Hiwassee in the mountains of southwestern North Carolina. Lake Hiwassee is only five to ten minutes walking distance from our home. Lake Hiwassee is an 18-mile long mountain lake that offers casual fishing, boating, and swimming. There is also a shared swimming pool (usually open from Memorial Day through Labor Day), a marina that rents boats, a tennis court, a basketball court, a child's playground, and a child's fishing pond. A secured entrance gate adds to the feeling of peace and serenity pervading Bear Paw.
Unforeseen circumstances happen, so we strongly advise you to purchase trip insurance in case you have flight problems, sickness, or other circumstances. PLEASE NO SMOKING INSIDE THE HOUSE AND NO PETS ARE ALLOWED!!!!! CHECK-IN: 4PM OR LATER CHECK-OUT: BY 10AM

Wonderful VIEWS!
We loved the chalet so much we didn't even want to leave to go out on the town. Weather was great and we spend most of our time on the huge deck taking in the clean air and the fantastic views. The chalet was clean and comfy along with space for large families to spread out with 3 levels. It does have steep stairs going to lower level but does have a door to keep your littles safe. Would love to return soon! Joey

Phenomenal Views
Exceptional mountain home without question. As already discussed with the Owner, the bathroom toilets in particular need to be replaced since the current toilets are "low-boys" and don't conform to current ADA requirements. As reflected by our stays, we've selected this particular home numerous times and there's literally nothing a Guest needs to bring with them for the kitchen, right down to detail like plastic wrap and aluminum foil in the kitchen. Great and Caring Owners no question about it!

Perfect peaceful getaway ❤️
Our stay at Carlos’ place was amazing! The view was spectacular day and night. The birds were so much fun to watch. We had a woodchuck hanging out in the yard several times. The house was clean and comfortable. There were other homes close by but because of the trees surrounding it felt like we were miles away from everyone. We loved eating in Murphy at Shoebooties and Julies Place. The marina nearby had great deals on boat rentals of the prestine Lake Hiwassee. We’ll definitely be back to Murphy. 😊

Magnificent view, extremely well maintained property. Hummingbirds’ entertainment included.
When entering the cabin, the first thing that draws you in is the large, high windows that display the magnificent landscape. Inside the cabin, the rooms look bigger than the photos show; the property is very well organized, maintained, and clean. We were spending a lot of time on the wrap around deck enjoying the views and “actions” around the hummingbird feeder. It was quite amusing to see hummingbirds’ quirks and personalities. In the backyard, some small animals come wondering about, such as squirrels, woodchucks, deer, and even chipmunks. The property does not have cell signal for our carrier; however the WiFi system works well and if there is an option on your phone, WiFi calling can be implemented. There is also landline. The cabin resides in a gated community with security. Within the community there is a community pool along with a pickleball court and basketball court. During our stay, there were very few people using these facilities, which is a big plus for someone who is trying to socially distance and enjoy their stay. Along with that, there is a local marina within the community that allows boat rentals and serves a quick snacks and dessert such as delicious soft-served ice-cream. The hosts were quick to respond to any questions, very friendly and informative. The stay at the property was very pleasant. There were some routes that I would not recommend taking when heading to Knoxville, which is the Unicoi Turnpike closest to the cabin area. The road is a gravel, unpaved windy road for many miles that was suggested to us by GPS.

Gorgeous view!
Thank you for a wonderful rental. Everything was just as promised. We really enjoyed the view and sitting outside on the shaded part of the deck. Kitchen had an ample supply of pots, pans, electric fryer, utensils, etc. to make all of our dishes. Bear Paw is a lovely area and we took advantage of exploring around and seeing all the sights. The area by the lower part of the Hiawassee Dam was just so serene and a great place to relax and fish in the shade. We especially appreciated the local expert, Don, at the front gate. He helped us answer every question we had about the area.

About the host

Hosted by Carlos Gaskin

Host profile image
We are residents of Tallahassee, Florida, and are retired high-school teachers. 2024 marked our 55 wedding anniversary! We have two children who also live in Tallahassee and four grandchildren, two of whom live close to us. We are both graduates of Florida State University and follow the Seminoles. We enjoy visiting our rentals in
Nashville, TN, and in Bear Paw near Murphy, NC, but we also enjoy sharing the fun with you. We have many repeat renters who have become friends to us. We keep our rentals clean, well-furnished and updated for your enjoyment. Please read our outstanding reviews. They are very important to us!

Why they chose this property

We had vacationed in Bear Paw several times and enjoyed the area a great deal. It is in a gated community near Murphy, and has beautiful views. We liked the fact that there is an olympic-sized swimming pool, tennis court and basketball courts to provide entertainment. We love to walk inside Bear Paw and take the boat out on the pristine lake. Our children, who are grown now but were young at the time we built our first house in Bear Paw, absolutely loved to come here, and still do. . Since the area has rentals and permanent homes, we did not feel like we were tourists; we felt at home.

What makes this property unique

We like swimming and fishing on the lake as well as boating. The swimming pool and playground are nice for the little ones. It is such a peaceful place. If you want activities, there are plenty around, but if you want peace and quiet, Bear Paw is hard to beat.
