Hideaway Chalet at Lake Hiwassee Bear Paw

If you’re looking for great vacation spot, romantic getaway, or just a relaxing weekend then Bear Paw is the place for you!
Private yet close to all the amenities that Bear Paw has to offer. Located in the Smokey Mountains of North Carolina, Bear Paw Resort is the only private 24/7 gated community on Lake Hiwassee. Bear Paw has many amenities which make it a great vacation spot. The lake is surrounded by beautiful mountains with 163 miles of natural shoreline and the Nantahala National Forest. It is where the Blue Ridge Mountains meet the “Smokies”….also known as “GOD’S COUNTRY”
Whether it’s fishing, swimming, water sports or just cruising around the lake on a boat soaking up the beauty ….Lake Hiwassee is the place. Bring your own boat or rent one. Mountain View Marina is located inside the Bear Paw Community and is within walking distance.
Bear Paw offers many activities that make it a great vacation spot. In addition to the lake activities, there is also an Olympic size swimming pool, basketball courts at the Pavilion/Club House, tennis courts, exercise room, children’s playground and a small catch and release fishing pond. All are within walking distance. No need to load up in the car….it’s all just a stone’s throw away.
This comfortable vacation chalet offers…. hardwood floors throughout the house as well as central heat and a/c. For your enjoyment there are books, games, movies, DVD player, TV with Roku and Wi-Fi. We do not have Satellite TV (Directv/Dish Network)The main level has an open kitchen, dining & living room that opens up to a spacious deck.

The kitchen is fully equipped with stove, refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave, dishes, pots, pans and utensils. Everything you need to prepare a delicious country breakfast, romantic dinner, or holiday feast.
There is an outdoor fire pit to warm you up on those chilly evenings or gather the kids for a marshmallow or wiener roast.
Breathe in the clean mountain air and watch the hummingbirds feed as you relax and enjoy your morning coffee out on the spacious deck. Gather the family for a challenging game of “Corn Hole”, or fire up the grill for some mouthwatering barbecue.
PLEASE NOTE: This property is not handicap accessible. The driveway is very steep. Once at the top of the driveway, the property levels off and is large enough for 1 car to park.

Lake Hiwassee
Family and friends came up to stay for Memorial Day weekend. We had a group of 8 combined of adults, older and younger teens. Checked in late on Friday night and went to bed. Next day we discovered some issues that were quickly addressed and remedied by the owners. The house is comfortable and enjoyable. We greatly enjoyed our time out on the lake and it is a beautiful area. We would stay again!

The house was clean and had everything we needed. The owner was was great to work with. The pool was nice and right across from the house. Everyone in the community was very nice. The only downside was there was no where to swim in the lake in the community unless you rented a boat.

Good, but needs some upkeep
This cabin is located in the relatively remote Bear Paw community. We liked the ambience of it and the cute bear decor. It is right next door to the very nice community sports center / pool. Our boys really loved fishing in the well stocked pond nearby. The wifi worked OK, but be advised that cell service (Verizon) is zero in this area, so get your GPS directions before leaving the cabin. This property has some deferred maintenance that was apparent when we arrived. Some of the lights were missing bulbs, and one of the patio doors was frosted over. We also found evidence of some mice in the kitchen. There was a few drops of water coming through the basement bathroom ceiling presumably from the 1st floor bathroom drain.

The property was very quiet and my kids enjoyed the fishing pond and playground. The downstairs didn't seem to have heat and air though, but we had a nice time playing pool and watching TV down there.

Updates Needed
Although this property was affordable, attention to details and updates by the owner would go a long way. As mentioned by other reviewers, the driveway is VERY steep. We have been vacationing in the Blue Ridge Mountains for decades, and this was the most challenging. The leveled parking at the top needs to be repaved (currently broken in places) and a solid barrier should be in place to indicate where the pavement ends (so one doesn't roll ones vehicle into unknown forest terrain). Remove dead plants, fix broken porch light replace old door mat. Upon entering, many items were broken - from small things like the decorative bear bottle holder to the metal storage shelf and the arm to the rocking chair. Larger issues were the unusable electric fireplace and dart board. The firepit outdoors is not contained and at risk for igniting dead leaves and branches in the immediate surrounding area. A small investment in new dishware, cutlery and pots and pans would go a long way as would new bed linens. Having noted the negatives of the property, it was in a lovely community. Great basketball, tennis and volleyball courts for the kids. Fishing pond was fun (bass and bluegills) and we rented a pontoon boat for half a day - easy and fun. The kids also enjoyed the pool table and full sized pingpong table in the cabin.

Overall great time
Property was away from other homes and right next to playground and pool. Not near the water like expected but not a long drive. There are several beautiful hiking trails and other things to do. We drove approximately 30 minutes south and rode horses through the mountains one day and rented a boat the next. The house is about 20 minutes away from a grocery store and any places to eat. There is no AT&T cell service but WiFi is available.

My stay
I was not happy with the cabin the day we got there and got checked in and got into the cabin the place was not clean the bedrooms are not made up I had to send a message to the owner and she said the maid must have had something to do while the lady got there to clean 2 hour later she did not know we were checking in there is poor communication between the owner and the cleaning staff .The beds are all broke down very uncomfortable it's not safe for elderly people to get into the cabin the driveway is all tore up at the top the sidewalk from the cabin to come down my husband fell and hurt his leg the water pressure is terrible it took us all day long to take showers 7 people. And all she says I'm sorry . place is not safe for elderly people to come into and if you're handicapped please do not rent this cabin it will be dangerous for your family .For younger people is excellent Because really do not care how look like. She needs to put new mattresses on the beds. fix the sidewalk fix the driveway and let people know that if you are handicapped anyway please do not rent thatcabin. but she does not care all she says sorry her cabin didn't stand up to my standards well I don't like living in dirt and downstairs under the couch it was horrible bedroom she has downstairs is not a bedroom it's a hole in the wall with the air conditioner unit right beside it making all kinds and the reason you don't have water depression she has turned it down because she's had several water leaks and she has turned depression down in the house where you cannot turn it up it's not because it's up hill We were told by someone that's the owner has done turned the pressure And we left before our time was up We stayed 2 nights and she got paid for 3 nights that's how bad it was we could not stand it no more and my 84 year old dad to 😪😕 it's a 2 bedroom with a loft and a hold in the Wall downstairs by a air conditioner unit with old curtain across it and washing machine right across from it. I would love to put pictures but it will not let me The picture she puts on this does not show the access how to get into the cabin people know need to know how you get into this cabin this The only way to get in this cabin 16 stairs there's 14 stairs it's not easy to get in too
