Our chalet style home is nestled in the woods at Lake Hiwassee. It is
in the gated community of Bear Paw which is close to Hiwassee Dam,
west of Murphy. Lake Hiwassee is an 18 mile long stretch of water with
165 miles of natural shoreline in the Natahala National Forest. The
few homes visible on the lake are only a small part of the beauty of
the serene combination of water, forest, and mountains you see out on
the water. It is where the Blue Ridge Mountains meet the Smokies,
nicknamed "God’s Country".

The home is very well kept, spacious and tastefully decorated with
bear accessories. The living/great room on the entry level has a stone
fireplace with gas logs and a tongue groove pine cathedral ceiling
which is open to the loft ceiling. On this level is also a kitchen and
dining area, two bedrooms (1 king, 1 queen) and a full bath.  The
living/great room opens to a 12'x26' deck with table & chairs, rocking
chairs and a gas grill.  The loft upstairs is open to the great room
below. There are 2 twin beds, a futon sofa, TV, and a
desk in this 13’ x 26’ room and another full bath. A sliding glass
door which opens to a small covered porch sitting area.
We have completed finishing the lowest level. This consists of a 4th
bedroom (king), a full bath, and a second great room with gas log
fireplace, television, DVD/VCR, and a finished laundry room. A second
deck has been added to the lower level also. Whether rocking on the
deck or sitting/fishing on the dock listening to birds and sounds of
nature, it is a very peaceful place to stay.

Bear Paw is a secluded and private area, but has many amenities which
make it a great vacation spot. Boating, fishing, swimming, and
water-skiing are possible. The lake is large enough that it is never
crowded. There are 2 marinas near to rent boats if you don’t have one,
and 2 launch ramps if you do. Bear Paw also offers other activities
other than the lake.

There is an Olympic size swimming pool with chaise lounges, basketball
hoops in the Pavilion/Club House, tennis court, exercise room,
children’s playground, a small fishing pond and a security guard at
the entrance gate 24 hours a day.

Nearby is the dam with picnicking and grills, tours of the dam are
possible, and a drive through the area brings activities as
white-water rafting, golfing, horseback riding, or sightseeing from
nearby Ocoee, Chattanooga, Helen, or up to the Asheville area.
