Spend the day on Lake Chatuge with a boat or personal watercraft rental from a local marina or launch your own from nearby public access. Want to immerse yourself in nature in the Nantahala National Forest? Bring your mountain bikes and ride the first-class trails at Jackrabbit Mountain (also great for hiking and dog-friendly) less than 5 minutes from the property.

On the GA side, take a 30-minute drive to a waterfall hike via the High Shoals Falls Trail or make the 45-minute drive to Alpine Helen, GA for a taste of Bavaria in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Hungry and thirsty after a day of exploration? Visit the outstanding local restaurants, wineries, and breweries in and around downtown Hayesville and Hiawassee for not-to-be-missed tastes of local flavor.

We love the #lakelife around here as well as the majestic mountains. So much to do and see right in town. We have a handy Welcome Book in the house full of Places to Eat, Things to Do, Shopping, Hiking and Waterfall Trails. Wineries abound; they’re everywhere! And a short 25 min drive to Helen for tubing or zip lining.

There are several excellent boat rental places in the area! We use Lake Chatuge Marine, Young Harris Water Sports, Boundary Waters... The fellas will help you out! All kinds of water toys too like jet skis, standup paddle boards and kayaks.

Hike or drive to the apex of Bell Mountain, which overlooks Lake Chatuge below and provides picturesque mountain views. Shooting Creek Overlook is breathtaking. Visit Brasstown Bald, the highest point in Georgia. Jackrabbit Mountain and Chatuge Dam. Both Towns County (Hiawassee GA) and Clay County (Hayesville NC) have super parks and beaches. Trailheads of the Appalachian Trail, which spans from Georgia to Maine, are less than 10 miles from this home.

Great Stay (Again)
This was our second stay at Bears Eye View and it was just as good as the first. This is a beautiful home with great views of Chatuge. It is well equipped and has everything you need for a mountain get away. Highly recommend and I'm sure we will be back.

Sanity Save
We could not have asked for a better more beautiful place! We kept extending our stay from 4 nights to 10, Pricilla was awesome and the cabin was perfect in every way - we have stayed in many VRBO properties US, Italy and Costa Rica - they were great, BUT Haiwassee has been the best.

Very Enjoyable Weekend!
We stay in Hiawassee a lot and love it more and more every time. This place is very nice with a great kitchen window and porch view. The host made last minute special accommodations for us that made our stay possible. Highly recommend.

Fantastic
I have stayed at many rental properties and VRBO's. I was visiting Hiawassee on family matters and rented this cabin. Wow! It was absolutely the nicest place I have every stayed, pet friendly or otherwise. I travel with my small dog and have found "pet friendly" is often code for lower quality, smelly properties. Not so with this house. It was immaculate and fantastic. Everything seemed brand new, including the cabin itself. High quality building materials, appliances, furniture, even the decorating. Everything worked perfectly, including the fireplace which added an extra dimension to the stay. The bed was clean, seemed brand new and VERY comfortable. The neighborhood is secluded and quiet. It was winter and although it is located in a "high end" neighborhood, it seemed many of them were vacation homes - I didn't see alot of other people around. I slept better than in my own bed as it was so comfortable and quiet. There is plenty of streets for dog walking, if you don't mind walking a hill or two. I give this place my highest rating and would recommend it to anyone!

Nice!
Very nice cabin! Myself, husband and sister went for a vacay getaway. Clean. Beds are comfortable. Perfect views! We enjoyed our coffee and wine on the porch just looking at the lake and mountains. Quiet. The road up is steep, but we got used to it. Within an hour to any type of sites. Went during December, most things are shut down. Not much to do in the town. My husband and I did get to celebrate our wedding anniversary while there, at a really nice restaurant in town called The Oakes. Highly recommend 👌 Overall great experience. Thank you

Falsely Advertised as Wheelchair Accessible
Bed in the only main floor bedroom is not accessible for a person of average height, who depends on a walker, much less someone depending on a wheelchair. Because of this, we were forced to cut our stay short. And the property manager was not willing to consider any amount of a refund whatsoever. Along with receiving confirmation of our booking we also received a picture of the cabin which wasvery different from the online picture. So at that time we reviewed the online pictures again. Looking closely at the pictures we questioned the property manager about the height of the bed on the main floor. The property manager assured us that the picture must be distorted, because “it’s a normal height bed”. Unfortunately we discovered that was not true after arriving at the cabin in the evening. We were supposedly staying in a "wheelchair accessible" cabin, for our 80 year old lady friend, who depends on her walker. We were very, very disappointed with this booking. We were pleased to see the fall colors in God's beautiful creation. Charles

Awesome View and Location
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Beasrs Eye View! From the moment we arrived, we knew that the front porch was where we would spend a lot of time soaking in the incredible view. We've had great mountain views at other rentals where we've stayed but seeing Lake Chatuge in the middle of the mountains made the view spectacular- especially at sunset. The cabin was spotless and very well maintained. It made me want to keep it the way we found it and we paid special attention to keeping it neat and clean. It was very well equipped, and we had every we needed during our extended stay. We loved the gas fireplace and loved the cozy ambience. Our bed was super comfortable. The location was fantastic, close to town and the Hiawasee pickleball courts which was a main activity for us. We would highly recommend this cabin and hope to stay here again!

Cabin with a View.
The property is beautifully presented cabin with amazing views, wrap around porch and the comfort of home. There is even a ramp for a wheelchair if needed. Minutes from Hiawasee make it convenient to reach many local areas. Bring a step stool if you are short or mobility challenged as the master bed is very high off the ground.
