Waterfront Mountain Cabin on Lake Hiwassee Private Dock, Kayaks, Great Views

10/10 Excellent

"This is a beautiful cabin that sits on the lake, with gorgeous views of water. You are nestled in hardwood trees and feel like you are in your own private world. The drive is scenic and mountainous. Curvy mountain roads, but very drivable. There is limited phone coverage after you leave the main highways. Bruce is very attentive and gives you update on property. He is a very nice man. I would definitely rebook this location. We had a great time in Murphy."

Hideaway Chalet at Lake Hiwassee Bear Paw

10/10 Excellent

"Our trip was incredible. We got checked in very easily. The driveway is quite steep, but it wasn't an issue for us. The property is a little older, but very clean and quaint. Even though it is in an HOA type neighborhood, the house is very private and the security officer was very accommodating. Everything in the house worked as it was supposed to. We really enjoyed the area because it is less commercialized than Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge. Definitely worth it to us. We would be glad to stay here again."
