Great Labor Day stay by the lake! House has plenty of room for all my family and one of the prettiest views on the lake. We really enjoyed sitting on the large wrap around deck in the mornings and at night looking at the stars. And the lake is not crowded like you find in many other locations. Highly recommend!

So glad you had a fun Labor Day stay, Angie and family! One of my favorite things in life is sitting in the swing, drinking my coffee, checking my emails, watching the birds and taking in that amazing view! We appreciate your choosing us and hope you return soon. Bear Paw is beautiful in all seasons!

Property was as described - the view of the mountains and lake was more than amazing and the layout of the cabin was perfect! Kitchen had nice pots, pans, utensils and dishes to prepare meals. It was SUPER clean with very nice bathrooms and an upgraded kitchen. There were games and little what-nots if you forgot your soap or shampoo, which I did so, that was a wonderful. The bird feeders added a nice touch- we loved bird watching ! The owner was easily accessible for any of my questions-I would definitely recommend this place for a nice getaway ! We loved it!

This was, by far, my favorite rental to date! The view is absolutely breathtaking, pictures don’t do it justice. The house had every little thing you could need to truly feel like you were home. The owners were very nice and quick to answer any questions.
The view was spectacular from any level.

We are so happy that your family got together for Thanksgiving and enjoyed the mountain house. One of the things I love about the house is the ability to have three levels for privacy and alone time, but also the ability to congregate when we want. We were delighted to host you and hope to have you as our guests again.

If you’re looking for a house in Bear Paw with a flat, easy driveway and no stairs to get inside, this is the one! We stayed for a week and couldn’t have been happier. The house was spotless, with beautifully updated bathrooms and kitchen. The fridge was the perfect size for all our groceries for the week, and we had plenty of space to spread out across all three floors—it never felt cramped, even with the whole family.My personal favorite part was enjoying coffee on the porch each morning, watching the birds and taking in the peaceful view of the lake. We’ll absolutely be back!

Thank you for noticing the “clean.” We have a wonderful helper who does a great job. We welcome you to come back soon! Bear Paw is beautiful in all four seasons! Thank you so much for the recommendation of our place, and we appreciate your choosing us so much!

Great Home and Beautiful Views

Our family really enjoyed the home, Lake Hiwassee, and the Bear Paw pool! The home was very clean and well furnished, with breath-taking views from the deck. We rented a pontoon boat at the local Marina and our children had a great time fishing and floating on the tube behind the boat. We found trails to hike and even found a beautiful waterfall only about a 30-minute drive from Bear Paw. We also had a very nice meal at Rib Country in Murphy. We plan to stay here again!
Response from VrboOwner on Aug 24, 2023
Thank you, Robert. We enjoyed hearing about the waterfall and plan to find it. So glad you had a good time and hope you can return soon. I would have to concur about that view. We are happy to share it with kind folks like you and yours!

Another Excellent Stay

This is our 4th stay in this home. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves again. The house is always clean upon arrival. The kitchen is well stocked with essential kitchenware. The kids always enjoy the ping pong table and the community swimming pool. The view of the mountains and lake are always breathtaking from inside the house as well as, from either of the two porches. Thanks again for making our vacation spot so pleasurable!

Gorgeous View

You all have a great setup, and I am impressed with the small things you've done to make your guests stay a bit more convenient, the small step stool for the kids, nightlights, directions just where needed on how to lock/unlock doors, etc. It was wonderful! The view is breathtaking. The pictures don't even begin to capture the beauty of the view. The house was incredibly clean upon arrival. We enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere and hope to visit again.
