Everything about the stay was great! The cottage was very nice. It’s in a nice quiet location. It has all the modern conveniences and everything needed for an enjoyable stay. The screened porch was great for morning coffee. Everything was very clean and the communication with the hosts was flawless. I highly recommend the cottage.

Amazing stay!

We always love the Dillingham’s cabin! So peaceful, quiet and relaxing! They communicate quickly and everything we needed was there. I have been going to Bear Paw for 47 years and we have been staying in this cabin for several years. Always a great stay!

Very nicely remodeled cabin in great location close to Pavillion and tennis courts. Only issue we had was with the WiFi that cut out a few times a day. Other than that it was a super clean, updated and a great place to stay! Definitely will be back again

Bear Paw

This place is adorable! Super clean and comfortable with everything you need (in case you forgot something!) Highly recommend renting a boat from Mountainview Marina (inside the community) and exploring Lake Hiawassee. Plan your grocery trips wisely, as it is a 30 min drive to nearest grocery store. We would definitely rent here again!

family reunion stay

We arrived and the place exactly fit the pictures. Extremely clean and well appointed. Loved the mix of modern and the original home features - especially the older doors and hardware. We were tempted to play the old 8 tracks :-) but didn't. One night we had a glorious thunderstorm, so we sat out on the screened in porch and took it all in - fresh air, rain, ambience. Would love to retire in this community one day; it was lovely. Definitely recommending to others we know! Thanks for sharing your place!
