We had a great time and it is a wonderful place to relax and enjoy the peaceful time in the mountains, Bear Paw is a beautiful area! Thanks for sharing your home with us
We had a wonderful stay at this cabin in North Carolina. The location was incredibly peaceful, the views were absolutely beautiful and the cabin was fully equipped with everything we could possibly need. The owners were attentive and very quick to respond to any questions, which made the experience even better. We couldn’t have asked for a more relaxing getaway. Highly recommend!
This charming house was perfect for our family getaway to Bear Paw! It was everything we needed and more! We’ve stayed at many houses at Bear Paw over the years and this one is our favorite!
Stayed here for a weekend while riding motorcycles in the area. 3 of us and we all had our own bedroom and bathroom. Kitchen had all the necessities. FIreplace was nice. Would stay again.
Property on hill , secluded, with a slighly obstructed lake view. plenty of parking for our truck and trailer. Ken is extremely nice and helpful. Text back so quickly. We love staying here so much. It has everything you need. 3 floors with full bathroom for each bedroom on each floor
Very roomy and clean cabin. secluded and private. awesome little community with alot of july 4th festivities. the owners were extremely helpful and nice. very responsive. will def. stay again
We always have a great time at this mountain home. Ken and Liz are wonderful hosts. If there are any issues, they respond quickly and make things right. We are thankful they share their mountain home with us and look forward to returning.
We had a fabulous time! Communications with owner both before and during were great -very responsive!! Pictures on VRBO were spot on. We got exactly what we paid for and I will say the view was beautiful. Mountains in the back and lake down below! GREAT JB KEN!!!
Very nice rooms , no space for groceries, and not enough space for eating together, or sitting In living room as a group, enjoyed the wildlife we saw each day, thank you for sharing your home!
The property was nice well maintained. Tv should be updated. The cabin is perfect to disconect but there is nothing to do with kids in a 2 hour radio. Closest market is about 40 min away and community roads are narrow and scary at night. Otherwise its perfect quiet place.
It was a well built older home. Great set up for 2 couples and 2 kids. Master bed was comfortable but not first floor bed. I think when we arrived it hadn’t been rented for a bit. Toilets needed cleaned up. Long black hair in first floor tub. But all in all pretty nice set up for a getaway in Murphy.

Quite and peaceful
The instructions were pretty straight forward. No cell phone service but typical in many parts of the mountains. Place was clean and as advertised. internet kicked off quite often but figured out that when the televisions were not used it wasn't an issue. Access to a golf cart would be nice but other than that we enjoyed our stay.

About the host
Hosted by kenneth kushner
We are Ken and Liz Kushner from Tallahassee, Florida. Ken is a math teacher at Lincoln High School and Liz is a registered nurse at Tallahassee Memorial Hospital. We have a grown son, Jordan. Retirement is right around the corner for us, and we look forward to having lots of free time to enjoy traveling, hiking, playing tennis, woodworking, golfing, hunting, antiquing, reading, and fishing.
Why they chose this property
We enjoy the serenity that the mountains have to offer. Bear Paw, while maintaining its rustic charm, has amenities that we enjoy including the pool, marina, and tennis courts. We also appreciate the fact that it is a gated community and that the national forest surrounds us. There is no thru traffic, which makes it a very peaceful place.
What makes this property unique
We enjoy being able to go boating and fishing at the marina, which is inside Bear Paw. The tennis courts are convenient so that we can enjoy a game of tennis without having to travel to courts. The Olympic-size swimming pool is a nice place to meet people who live in Bear Paw or are vacationing from other areas. There is also a playground for children adjacent to the swimming pool and a covered pavilion which is nice for family reunions. The roads in Bear Paw are well-maintained, so taking long walks is easy.
