Wonderful Stay

My parents built this home and Mom was so happy to see it again! It was very clean and had everything we needed. Everyone agreed beds were very comfortable. Kitchen was perfect size and well stocked. The view with our morning coffee will be missed! Bruce was very friendly and helpful. We want to come back later in the summer and in the fall.

4 day stay

Great place, excellent location in a cove off the main body. Plenty of water toys at the dock. Just a note, the dock is 124 steps below the house so prepare yourself for a workout each day. Would stay again

Christmas break

The house was awesome. The description on the website was accurate. The only downside is the distance from Murphy and the access road. The road was a bit narrow and winding. I would recommend this house!!

Great Trip!

We had such a great family vacation this past weekend! This property was perfect! It has such great frontage on Lake Hiwassee, has plenty of space, is very welcoming, and well stocked with dishes and towels. Bruce, the property manager, was very communicative, supportive, and kind. We highly recommend this property!

Most amazing stay!

There isn’t anything I would want different except to have been able to stay longer. Bruce is great as well as the great couple that takes care of the property. Bear Paw is a wonderful community. The home is stocked perfectly and is perfectly located in a cove with other homes around. So you aren’t isolated but not in the middle of things. The property has something for everyone. Lake Hiwassee is beautiful!

Long Weekend Away

This clean, well-stocked, spacious and comfortable 3-bedroom home offers a lot to keep everyone entertained. Our grown kids enjoyed fishing, sun bathing, kayaking, and swimming in the cove where the home is located. The mountain-lake scenery was absolutely gorgeous and Lake Hiwassee was very quiet and peaceful the first week of August. I hope our family can return soon.

Beyond expectations

We had an amazing visit to Bear Paw! This home has ALL the amenities. The lake was perfect! We had so much fun kayaking, swimming, and fishing. Went to town and wached a movie at a cool little theatre and won a little money at the casino. Bruce was terrific! The driveway was something else but we made it! Absolutely tecommend!

Warm and Cozy

This was a last minute reservation to attend a family funeral. Although a sad time for our family your home provided a warm and cozy space for us to be together and share memories. The only thing I would add is providing a warning about the steep driveway. We arrived at night and it was quite the surprise.

Great Time

We very impressed with the condition of the house. Bruce the Manager was very helpful. The only draw backs was it stated there were beach chairs and towels. We could only find 3 towels and NO beach chairs. The water level was down and dropped daily so getting to the dock was very tiring but overall would return.

Lovely lake side home

This beautiful lakefront home was wonderful for our family getaway. It was clean and spacious with a kitchen stocked with everything we needed. The game room was a bonus to have when it rained one afternoon! The beds were comfortable. Like many lakeside/mountain homes, there are stairs to consider. We enjoyed the seclusion of the home’s location, as the dock is in a cove with very little boat traffic. We enjoyed the kayaks and paddle board. We also caught a lot of fish from the dock. Bruce was great to contact us prior to our arrival to give us a rundown on the property ins and outs. He was also quick to respond to my questions.

Great stay at the lake!

Can’t say enough about how great this house was for our Thanksgiving stay! The house is in a fairly remote area and was exactly what we were looking for to safely escape the city. The house was very clean, extremely comfortable and relaxing. The kitchen is well equipped and bedding's were plush and high quality. Lots of nice, extra touches throughout the house that really enhance a guests experience (well done and thank you). We had our two young kids with us and they loved the games in the house, exploring the lake/dock area and fishing. The driveway is quite steep but very manageable for us even without four wheel drive. Bruce, the house manager, could not have been more helpful and accommodating both leading up to our trip and during! If there’s anything any renter could think of needing while at the house, we have no doubt he would help accommodate. We look forward to returning and seeing the house and lake this summer!

Everything taken care of

Provisions were beyond our past experiences of home rentals- ample supplies and linens. Cleanliness was top-notch. The only thing not expected was the lake was drained substantially due to demands of the dam/river system. The host was also super prompt on the couple calls made regarding internet, gas pilot and hot water. No impact to our stay. It is a beautiful house inside and out. The kids enjoyed the air hockey downstairs as well.

Perfect, relaxing Family getaway!

The house was perfect and just as advertised and what other reviewers have said. Lake Hiwassee is so beautiful! Our family of five really enjoyed a very relaxing time at the home cooking, eating out on the deck, playing in the game room and lots of time on the lake. We rented a boat for a half day, took a sunset cruise with Bruce and went kayaking and paddleboarding -- was absolute heaven! Bruce is a delight to work with as many have mentioned in other reviews -- so easy to communicate with. My only caution, though not necessarily a negative, is they are not joking about there not being a phone signal and limited wifi, and that the property is very remote. It is truly a 45+ minute drive to any real food/restaurant/takeout, etc. But, if you are looking to really unplug and hang at the property the whole time, it is ideal. Just be sure to prepare on the way in and get more groceries than you think you will need. :) We loved our time here and made some wonderful memories!

Beautiful area to get away and relax!

My family and I thoroughly enjoyed this property! It has everything you need except cellphone service, which was great to get unplug! You didn't need a phone with all the activities the property has from kayaking, paddle boards, to the game room. Bruce was very helpful with the check in process and info of the area. We rented a pontoon from the Mountain View Marina and enjoyed a day on the lake for a very reasonable price. Murphy is a nice area to get out and about and explore with the family. If you are wanting to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday routines, I highly recommend this area!

Really fun lake getaway! Loads to do for the entire family!

This place was perfect for our family (kids age 4-11). Lots of space and plenty to do for everyone. Between lake activities, game room, ping pong, fire pit, and the grill, there was always something for each of us to do throughout the day. The water was low and too cold to swim this time of year and we didn't have much success fishing, but we still enjoyed getting out on the water multiple times every day in the canoe, paddle boat, and kayaks provided. I'd recommend getting another double paddle for the other kayaks. We managed it fine, but the stairs up and down were long, so something to consider for those that struggle climbing 100+ steps. I was pleasantly surprised by how CLEAN the house was! No dusty corners, no grungy couches, no gross bathrooms... we felt right at home and totally comfortable from the moment we walked in the door. Also, Bruce was great to work with and extremely accommodating. We already are planning on coming back later in the summer to see what it's like in the heat!

Wonderful Bear Paw Lakehouse!

We enjoyed our week in Bear Paw exploring the community, fishing in the pond and getting out on Lake Hiwassee in kayaks and a pontoon boat. The home was fabulous and had everything we needed. We took advantage of Bruce's concierge services and had groceries stocked in the house upon arrival which was a nice touch as the closest grocery store is 40 minutes away. Bruce is wonderful. "Let's ask Bruce," became our go-to phrase. We rented a golf cart from Bruce to get around the neighborhood which was much easier than driving our cars. There are some great mountain and lake views and amazing homes to see in Bear Paw, so be sure to check them out. Bruce gave us suggestions on things to see and place to go. He shared some fishing lures with my son and was available to answer any questions. He also checked in on us to make sure all was A-OK. We rented a pontoon boat from Harbor Cove Marina, on Bruce's recommendation. Lisa was great and she brought the boat right to our dock. Nice touch! We enjoyed time on the decks watching the sunset and the hummingbirds. The driveway is very steep, but we got used to it. Stairs down to the lake will get your heart pumping when you walk back up! We had no cell service but the home does have internet. During our stay the Internet was out for a day and then only came one for a few hours each day. Bruce and the homeowner did their best to address the problem, but this is an isolated mountain spot. Lack of internet meant plenty of time to get the family around the fire, at the air hickey table in the basement or playing other games. Would back in a heartbeat. Such an amazing home and location.

Great Lake Front Space for 2 Families

Our two families with 4 young boys thoroughly enjoyed staying at the lake and really enjoyed the game room! It was awesome being able to walk out of the house and down to the lake to fish, swim, kayak!
