Fall break getaway

We had a lovely stay here. We had our college kids join us and we were able to bring our dogs. Erin and Nathan were excellent hosts and very responsive. They have a great cabin with lots of amenities. Will definitely return. Grocery stores are not close, so, come prepared with essentials. Thank you!

Peaceful lakefront retreat

This remote beautiful spot is a great place to relax. The photos can’t do this place justice. The location makes you want to spend time being silent and hearing the birds and the wind in the trees. Everything you need is stocked - just bring groceries. Kayaking the lake was so much fun. If you need more adventure you can run rivers and zip lines in the area. Easy checkin and great hosts. If you fear mountain roads and want wild loud parties go to a different lake. This spot was exactly as advertised. Thank you for sharing!

Great place! Couple of glitches.

Everything went mostly great. I love the property, it's location, and the arrangements. The owners were extremely nice and communicative. ...... However... it's not as hidden as the property description suggests. There are several other houses looking down into the same cove - with their own docks. The property manager did not have the dock tied off well, so the walk board had to be repositioned a few times since the dock drifted around a bit - not that big of a deal though. There was no hot water the first two days. Cold showers. Then hot water started working the last day and a half.

We had a wonderful time at the Lakefront Hidden Cove Cabin. The location was absolutely beautiful and peaceful. We were at Bear Paw for my Aunt and Uncle’s 50th Anniversary Celebration and a number of the other guest were jealous of our accommodations. The communication between ourselves and our host was quick and easy. I would stay here again for sure!

Favorite Place to Stay in Bear Paw!

We have been traveling to Lake Hiwassee in Bear Paw for 7 years now and this is by far our favorite place to stay! The home has everything you could ever need. The owners are just a text away and will help with anything! The Master Suite is enormous. They have 2 other bedrooms with plenty of room and a 2nd bathroom. The kitchen has plenty of space as well. The walk to the water is not steep which is a plus! They have a swim mat down at the pier and the house has a very spacious deck to enjoy the outside. We love staying here for our vacation each summer and hope to continue to for more years to come!

This is a vacation

The house is amazing. The owners have put a lot of thought into what makes a stay comfy! Great place to go to unwind and find peace. So much to do for our 6 year old. The sand pit was her favorite. We will definitely be back!

Puppies first trip to mountains

We were looking for nice quiet place just to relax. Have some time to ourself. Eat, cook, fish, walk and enjoy nature. Disconnect from every day busy life. We found all this and much more at the cabin. Well stocked, beautiful, warm and charming place. Host was absolutely amazing. We found that house met our needs and we might start new family tradition spending week at BearPaw once a year. Our puppies enjoyed spacious deck and love the falling leaves on their daily walk ( we don’t get to see beautiful leaves in Florida). Overall amazing trip, outstanding service and hospitality, easy check in and check out - yes yes and yes for great vacation off the grid. Thank you Erin and Nathan!!!

Perfect lake side get away

This house was in such a fantastic spot on the lake! The little cove it’s nestled in was nice and peaceful but you could easily get out to the main part of the lake for more fun. It was just the right size house for my family and there is plenty to do at the cabin outside for the teenage boys to enjoy! The host was very kind and helpful and we could not have asked for a better weekend get away to see family in the area!

Wonderful stay

We really enjoyed our time and Erin and Nathan's cabin. The weather was not cooperative, but being so close to the dock, we could simply go out on our boards during the windows it cleared up. Cabin is well-stocked and communication was excellent. The wifi was more than adequate for us.

LOVE this Cabin

We checked in on Saturday and could not have had a better experience! We loved every minute of our 4 night stay! Out of all the homes in all the places we have booked, this has been the BEST! They have everything you could ever want or need while on Vacation! Bear Paw is isolated so for them to be so thoughtful makes a Vacation so much better! They even have bottles of water on each nightstand for guest when you check in. The kitchen has everything you need. They only have a blackstone flat top grill, but we knew that up front and took a small charcoal grill with us. The firepit on the porch is a wonderful addition. The walk down to the pier is so easy compared to other places we have stayed. You will not regret booking with Nathan and Erin at their cabin!!
