Over 2200 sf. of living space. Breathtaking, long-range mountain views from over 3600 ft. can be enjoyed from the two levels of wraparound decks with hot tub and rockers. Two story wall of windows on main level to further enjoy the views. Beautifully decorated with primarily hand crafted solid wood furniture from the local area. Beautiful, newly refinished hardwood floors on main level and brand new laminate (that looks like hardwood) in basement. Wood-burning custom stone fireplace. One bedroom and one bath on each of the three levels. Kitchenette and living area in basement, making the lower level almost like a separate home. (Ideal for two families traveling together or when privacy is needed/wanted.) Billiards table. Free-standing video arcade machine with 60 classic games. Two flat screen TVs with streaming capabilities,Picnic table, fire pit, hammock ,rope swing, and charcoal grill. Lake Nantahala is at the bottom of the road (approximately 3/4 mile from chalet) and we are only about five mins. from the marina where you can rent boats and kayaks and eat in the restaurant. (The marina and restaurant are seasonal.)We are also 5 minutes from Nantahala wedding venue! Close to whitewater rafting on the world famous Nantahala River. Approx. 45 mins. to Murphy and approx. 45 mins. to Franklin. The Bartram Trail is less than five mins. away for you hikers. Horseback riding nearby. Truly a relaxing and memorable getaway. Plenty to do nearby, or plenty to keep you occupied if you don't want to leave the property. Due to our remote location, we do get a cell signal in the chalet ,but weak at times. There is no land line. It is not necessary to have a four wheel drive vehicle .Please put vehicle in low gear and proceed at 10 mph and you will have no problem!...take Rhododendron (starting ascent up mountain and do not use any other directions)to Hemlock and then follow "Bear Rock Chalet" signs! Absolutely no smoking inside the chalet, please. Also guests do not have to be concerned about water shortages(as is fairly common), for we installed a 4,000 gallon filtered water reservoir!

Dec 5, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy John was a great communicator and helpful! We loved it all- the game room, hot tub, rope swing, kitchen (was there over Thanksgiving), ample beds and bathrooms and towels. To note- be SURE for driving, to take Rhododendron. Host directions said that but I didn’t download prior so trusted GPS. Don’t. Also- phone will go on SOS for about 30 min prior to arrival (coming from Franklin) so be sure to save lock box code and accurate directions.

The house is beautiful, comfortable, and well-appointed for a relaxing stay. It IS up a very narrow, at times steep road but the view and quiet are so worth it. The wifi is not strong enough for doing telework, but for a vacation it is adequate. Highly recommend for groups. The main bedroom is a loft but has a gorgeous view out of the wall of windows in the living room. ##### Rachel W. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Laura K.

Jan 6, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great for a getaway with nature A good experience. I went with my family between Christmas and New Year and here is my honest review PRO Great views, spacious cabin, John was kind and attentive. The pool table, arcade and hot tub were a great addition to keep the family entertained. The cabin is up on a mountain and secluded as well. The kitchen was well stocked and provided nearly everything we needed. Do be prepared between 2pm-5pm when the sun is setting, the great views also bring in great heat when as the sun heats up the main floor. CON - Wifi was very slow, not strong enough for streaming or watching videos. There is also no cellular connection, (which is mentioned in the description), We were prepared for no signal, just didn't expect the wifi to be very slow and limiting. - The TV in the common room does not work properly, the sound is busted and there are discolored streaks along the screen, which really hindered any movie or TV experience. There is a TV downstairs, which can be a solution but it's smaller than the upstairs one. The TV is also not smart. We tried to pull up Netflix multiple times but it never loaded. - It was not decorated for Christmas, something very minor but it would've been nice to see some sort of Christmas decor given we arrived Christmas day. Overall, we enjoyed the cabin. Given the limited access to technology, it helped us figure out ways to stay entertained while enjoying the views ##### Carolina C.

Jun 19, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful cabin in the woods We enjoyed our stay. The log cabin itself is sparkling clean, with beautiful views and plenty of beds for 9 people to sleep comfortably. Communication with owner was fantastic. My only concern is the drive up the mountain, and this is true for all homes on the mountain/lake, that you will have to drive up the steep gravel roads, and there are a number of blindspots along the shared mountain roads (caveat: some places have mirrors to help with blind spots but not all). We encountered cautious mountain drivers fortunately, who shared the road graciously - as only one car can pass at a time. If you are unaccustomed to these roads, a car with good tire traction or four wheel drive would help (though owner said is not necessary). The nearest grocery store is not far in distance but takes awhile to get to due to the curvy mountain roads, so plan accordingly. Be sure to follow the owner’s directions exactly as you will need them to find your way to the chalet (no cell service on the mountain but wifi at the house is good). Nonetheless, we loved the hot tub, satellite tv, the silence and the spacious cabin itself. Everything is easy to find in the kitchen as all cupboards are labeled - makes clean up so easy! Thanks for a restful stay in such a beautiful natural setting! ##### Emily C. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2022 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### paul o.

This property was by far the cleanest and most comfortable property that we have stayed in. The ride up to the cabin from the main road was a bit scary but we managed it fine. If there was snow it may have been more difficult. John was a great host and answered all of my questions quickly. Loved the house! It was very well stocked with anything that we could have needed. The property was beautiful and the kids enjoyed the game room and the swing outside! Thank you! ##### Allison L. Stayed 5 nights in Dec 2021 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jan d.

We have stay at many cabins this one is one of the best. We loved the hot tub and we used fire place every night. Everything you need is in the cabin. Would recommend. ##### Jan d.

The view was amazing, like you were on top of the world. Property was very clean and had everything you needed…well stocked kitchen and plenty of linens. Yes, the road up was a little tricky but very doable. How else are you going to get that view? Owner was super responsive and helpful. Only problem…Our weekend was not long enough! Would definitely rent again. ##### Amy B. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2021 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jenny W.

The cabin was just what we needed. Plenty of space, very clean and a remarkable view. This is exactly what we were looking for. Highly recommend. ##### Jenny W.

The master was open loft with no Privacy. The basement was very roomy and fun but was damp feeling and a little musty. The drive up to the cabin was very scary to us. The road up is not passable and rather steep. The home next door was pretty close. Overall very beautiful but I’d choose to stay on main road or not so far up a mountain! It would be wonderful if you’re familiar in driving in those areas ##### Tina M. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2021 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Pamela R.

The 3 children ages 9 to 12 feel in love with this place. Actually that included everyone. Someone stated in a prior review that you won't want to leave and that is so true. Amazing views and location! Very clean! We will return as soon as possible. Thank you, John ##### Pamela R. Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2021 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### James(Ken) W.

Jul 4, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful chalet in the mountains The long, windy, and bumpy gravel road up the mountain was our introduction to the chalet. The spectacular views were more than worth it! The setting is spectacular, with a wraparound porch to help capture it. To leave the most accurate review we'll summarize by room. The open floor plan, kitchen, dining, and living room allowed views of the mountains and forest from each area. First, the kitchen. It was one of the better-equiped ones we've had in our travels. There were few things lacking but we would suggest getting the knives sharpened, obtaining a potato peeler and cheese slicer, and some glass bowls of various sizes. The plastic ones could not go in the oven! The dining table seated more than we needed and it was good for playing Monopoly as well. The living room was comfortable and we could imagine sitting in front of a log fire in the winter. However, the TV was a disappointment and would have been more so if we needed it for entertainment. There were plenty of TV channels available, but the DVD player did not have the appropriate cable (we had brought movies anticipating the slow wifi). Also, while a Roku remote was provided, the wifi speed was way too slow to use it. This was not a surprise as other reviewers had prepared us for this eventuality. The bedrooms had plenty of beds for a crowd and each has its own bathroom. A big plus! The master bath, however, was surprisingly small given the size of the master suite. It was a one-person bathroom for sure! All bathrooms had ample, absorbent towels and were spotlessly clean. It should be noted that the master bedroom is a loft. And while that allowed for great views of the mountains, it didn't afford the privacy and quiet of a separate room. We found that if one of us wanted to sleep in, or anyone wanted to watch a late-night TV show it was impossible. If we were to make any structural change to the house it would be to wall off the master and have a large picture window to keep the view. The basement entertainment was great for our grandsons. The video arcade would have been used more if we had not been gone all day, but it was there when needed. The two downsides of the basement were the musty smell and the cold (it's a basement after all!). A heater was provided, but we found that closing the A/C vents and wearing a sweatshirt worked fine. A dehumidifier is a must. The hot tub was unusable; vents broken, cover caved in and too chlorinated. With a few changes the chalet would be perfect! ##### Valerie K.
