Charming Bear Paw Cabin with Spectacular View of Lake Hiwassee

This was the dam superintendent's home where such guests as President Roosevelt stayed when he visited the Hiwassee Dam. Years later Navy Seals stayed in the house when they were training in the area.

We bought and Hilltop because of its outstanding view of the lake and the mountains. We added a bedroom and 2 new bathrooms to make it our fit our family. Now it has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms! It is located on a mountain top in the gated community of Bear Paw on Lake Hiwassee. It is in walking distance of the tennis courts, pool, basketball court, children's playground and fishing pond. The nearby marina has boats available for rent.

The delightful cabin has all you need for a peaceful vacation. The kitchen with its granite countertops is ready for cooking. You will find everything you need for preparing and serving meals except the food. There are four bedrooms with 2 doubles, 2 queens and two twin beds. The cabin has wireless internet, so it makes it easy to check your email. The large screen porch provides an ideal spot to drink your morning coffee or watch the sunset over the lake. On the porch you will find a wonderful farm table for great meals and enjoyment. This is a family friendly house with books to read and games to play. We welcome you to sample our “little bit of heaven”.

FAVORITE STAY IN A TRADITIONAL FAMILY VACATION IN BEAR PAW NC
This house has become our favorite stay place in our 47 year traditional family vacation. Easy access, great property manager, ample room for our part of the family group. Well equipped, with internet/ wifi and streaming TV, all the kitchen utinsels one could possibly hope for. Really enjoyed our stay.

Great Place to spend time.
The screened in porch is fantastic! Great view, large porch, many comfortable rocking chairs. A really nice congregation spot, with a table and chairs to eat meals at. Beds were comfortable throughout. And if there is one thing you never have to worry about it is you will have all the bath towels you will need! We had our family reunion at Bear Paw resort, all 48 of us, and the houses are reasonably close together. Thus, it lends itself to hosting such a gathering. Our host, Bruce, was always available, and super easy to work with.

Great family vacation in spite of the rain
Our 46th annual family vacation to Bear Paw was a great time. We had some great lake time, but heavy rains during the week shortened the normal. That made the location of our stay important, and the Hilltop Cabin was perfect for family time during the rainy periods.

We very much enjoyed our stay. The kitchen was very well stocked with everything we could have possibly needed. The porch had a beautiful view, but would have enjoyed it more if the outdoor heater had been working. Overall, very nice stay with great accomodations.

The family and I had a wonderful time. The accommodations were beyond what I expected. We had plenty of room and the location to the lake was impeccable. There was a concert Saturday night within walking distance, but you couldn't hear it at the cabin. How about that!

Everything was amazing!
Our family, including my father, traveled to Fort Benning to watch our son graduate basic training and then spent a few days vacationing at the hilltop. The home itself exceeded what my expectations were and we all enjoyed our stay, The porch area was a family favorite to relax on, it our dinner on and the view was perfect from the porch. The kitchen was well stocked and the kids had a great time eating snores off if the fire pit. Mrs. Banks was always very helpful in answering all of my questions and was very accommodating. My father who has not traveled in 16 years is already talking about how he can go back! It was a great time for all of us ages 3 to 72!!

Better Than the Pictures
My family of four (plus our four legged family member) loved this house. Rented it for a short weekend trip in February. Warning: it may get super foggy at night and there are some wild curves getting there. But the house and the area surrounding it are just lovely. Great view. Kitchen is well stocked. Also, the TV/entertainment system has gotten a significant upgrade. Very good. Will definitely look at this house again if we come back to the area.
