Lake Nantahala Smoky Mountain Cabin with Boat Dock, Hot Tub & Firepit! Check out the scenery at beautiful Lake Nantahala from the grand views in almost every room from our spacious log cabin! Sparkling and fresh with new furnishings as of August, 2025! Bring your boat, or rent one here, and dock it at our private 20' x 20' boat dock, located less than a 1/4 mile from the cabin. It's the perfect place to soak up the sun and swim in the crystal clear lake - or be your coziest during Fall and Winter next to the firepit or indoor gas logs!! No 4 Wheel Drive needed here - we have year round easy access! We are located 100 yards up a gentle gravel incline road off scenic Wayah Road, a paved, state maintained, road. The seclusion of this mountain retreat with hot tub and amazing views of Lake Nantahala and the Smoky Mountains make this home a great spot for gathering friends and family. This log cabin sleeps 8 in luxury bedding: king master bedroom on the main level, 2 queen bedrooms with spectacular views on the lower level, and queen bed in the open loft with breathtaking lake views. This getaway includes a main level open floor plan with great room, stone fireplace with gas logs, handcrafted dining table and airy kitchen. Enjoy the queen loft which looks out two stories of windows to the lake and Smoky Mountains. Have movie night in the second den on the lower level. Both living areas and the King Bedroom feature smart televisions with DishTV programming. Additional amenities include a hot tub with spectacular views, connected gas grill, Starlink Wifi so you're always connected, well stocked kitchen, all linens including beach towels, and laundry room with washer/dryer, iron and ironing board. Relax with coffee or cocktails from the two expansive decks overlooking the lake or sit around the firepit for S'mores and more! Everything is included, just come to relax, enjoy the views and cool weather. Or of course, be as active as you like while white water rafting, hiking and boating in the wonderful outdoors surrounded by the Nantahala National Forest, Appalachian Trail, Bartram Trail, Lake Nantahala and Nantahala River! Conveniently located just off Wayah Road in Topton, NC, we are easily accessed even in inclement weather. The new pier at Rocky Creek Boat ramp is a short 5 minute walk from the house and is perfect for fishing! With a boat ramp into Lake Nantahala around the corner, boat rentals just down the street, and our private dock for your enjoyment, getting on the water is no problem! This is also the ideal spot if you're attending a wedding or event at Nantahala Weddings & Events as it's right next door (easier to drive than walk when dressed for a wedding)! For the more adventurous, there's an abundance of nearby white water outfitters. The Nantahala River is 15 minutes from the cabin and offers championship fly fishing. We’re 19 miles from The Nantahala Outdoor Center and only 12 miles from their whitewater rafting launch site! This is a great location to use as home base while taking day trips all around Western North Carolina.....the options are truly endless! Experience total privacy, including no contact self check-in, at the immaculate cabin. Rest assured, unlike a hotel or resort, this is our personal home and we take pride in our high standard of cleanliness for ourselves and our guests! ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach towels ### Pool/Spa - Hot tub ### Internet - Available in the cabin: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 4 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace ### Entertainment - DVD player - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Dock - Firepit - Gas grill - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Change of bedsheets (on request) - Change of towels on request - Housekeeping (on request) - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In the mountains - Near the marina - On a lake ### Things to do - Boat - Kayak - Birdwatching nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Mountain climbing nearby - Rafting nearby - Swimming nearby - Water tubing nearby - Wildlife walks nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - At least 80% lighting from LEDs - Bed sheets changed on request - Housekeeping (on request) - Locally-owned and organized tours and activities - Towels (changed on request) ## Similar properties ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/24000000/23040000/23036000/23035924/4755388c.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 'The Dock House' a Nantahala Lake Front Home Summer 2025 dates still available!

The views are incredible with very easy access to the property. The owner provided us with a list of fun things to do throughout the week, which was really helpful! It’s about 25 minutes from the Nantahala outdoor center, and just a few minutes to the marina where we rented a boat.

We have always hated having January birthdays, so the past few years we have booked mountain trips to give us something to look forward to. My sister and sister-in-law also came. The house was beautiful, and the view was even better. The owner was swift with any communication. I definitely recommend staying at Bear's Lair! ##### Laken R.

We spent a lot of time on the deck taking pics of the lake and surrounding mountains and lots more time on the private dock kayaking, boating, taking more amazing pics, and just hanging out as a family. Highly recommend. The property owner was wonderful and always responded quickly to questions, Added plus was the property had wifi (which we didn't use much because we were out and about) and the driveway and parking situation was much better than most properties we've visited and seen in Nantahala. ##### Karen F.

The house is beautiful and has an incredible view from almost every room, plus the multi-level decks. Communication with Kathy was quick and very helpful. I would note that there is no cell reception not only at the house but for quite a while on the drive in- connecting to wifi took care of any issues we would have had with that, but it is something to be aware of. The area is absolutely beautiful and we lost count of the number of waterfalls we passed during our drive. I would definitely stay here again, without hesitation! ##### Lori H.

This is a lovely cabin rental on Lake Nantahala. Near the boat ramp/dock (an easy little walk) and a quick (less than 5 minute) drive from the local swim spot. This was our daughter's first vacation and it was wonderful. The house was spotless with every amenity you could ask for. We can't wait to make this a family tradition and return next year. ##### Ashley M. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Apr 18, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful View This cabin has a gorgeous view of Lake Nantahala, clean and as described. Owner communicates well, setting good expectations on what to bring and how to prepare. We visited during the first week of April and the nearest convenience store was closed; the next closest was 20-25 mins away. Plan ahead! The only downside to this place is that there is no garbage pick up service so you have to drop it off yourself. During our visit, the dump was only open every other day (this may be temporary or seasonal) so we had to drive home with our trash in the car. In summary, this cabin is totally worth it and deserves every star. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michelle M., Sharpsburg, GA Feb 2, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful Cabin, Beautiful Views We SO enjoyed our stay!! The area got about 6 - 7 inches of snow right before our check in date and we were worried we wouldn't be able to check in but Kathy worked with us to ensure we could start our vacation on time, (and a HUGE shout out to Daniel and Tabitha for also making that possible!!)! The cabin is very spacious and absolutely gorgeous. We stayed in the cabin a good bit since it was so cold so we ended up cooking almost every meal there and the kitchen was SO well stocked that we had everything we needed. The cabin is definitely high up in the mountains and the roads to get there have a lot of hairpin turns so even though the nearest towns may have only been 30 miles away it takes an hour or more to get there, (at least in the winter), and can be quite difficult for those that get car sick, (so bring plenty of motion sickness meds if you're like me). Regardless, the drive was absolutely beautiful so it was definitely worth it! We hope to be able to visit again soon, maybe in the warmer months so we can do so me fishing and enjoy the lake. ##### Michelle M. Stayed 8 nights in Dec 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Renee M., Jacksonville Mar 6, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Best view My husband and I stayed here for our nieces wedding which was literally right around the corner. The house was absolutely beautiful! Pictures do not do it justice. The view is perfect. I hope to go back soon. My suggestion to anyone staying here is to pack all your food you think you will need because the mountain ride is not fun and the grocery store isn’t exactly close. I made dinner at home and packed into a cooler and crock pots. Brought all our drinks, snacks along with paper plates and plastic utensils. We would have been happy just staying on the porch the entire visit!! The owner gave us perfect directions so make sure you pay attention unlike us 🤣 we went the one road that was written in red to NOT turn on. Luckily we had all wheel drive. You will not find a better view of the mountains and lake. ##### Renee M. Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mother C.

We had a few other couples join us and we were so impressed with this cabin. The view was absolutely amazing, the beds were all comfortable and the location was great. We went to the The Lake Ends Marina and rented canoes one day and rented a ski boat another, beautiful lake and great food!! When we arrived at the cabin the internet was not working but Kathy was very easy to get a hold of and helped us fix the problem. The only recommendation I have that would make this cabin better is the outdoor patio furniture was soaking wet the entire weekend. It was a raining off and on and the cushions were soaked the entire time, it would be nice to have them covered so when guests arrive we are still able to use them. Or maybe put the sofa set downstairs and bring the chairs up to the top. The hot tub was a hit and the views while soaking are hard to beat. We would definitely recommend this cabin to friends. I have already shared it multiple times after posting pictures on Facebook. I had many people ask for the information. ##### Mother C. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2020 ### 6/10 Okay #### Erik M. Jul 1, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location Disliked: Communication, listing accuracy #### What a financial miscommunication! I did not actually stay at the property, I was getting married that weekend and rented the cabin for members of a wedding party. Miscommunications occurred that led to guests who owned a dog staying at this property which did not allow dogs. I was charged my security deposit as a result and here is where the only issue arose. After speaking with the host, I was made aware that my security deposit would simply not be returned to me, but no additional fee would be charged. I accepted this but was surprised to see an additional $500 be charged during my honeymoon, from none other than vrbo. I was confused because I was led to believe that no additional charge would come, which was not true. Apparently, I should have informed the host that I used a debit card before being told this information, because a security deposit was never charged for my stay. I believe I am the first person to ever book a VRBO property and not be charged a security deposit! What a historic moment! Anyways, after VRBO was quite unresponsive, I was blessed enough to receive financial advice from the host, who told me that I should do a better job of handling my finances, because I would have known a security deposit was never charged a year ago when I booked the property along with ten other properties for me and my wife’s special day! This was the day after I was guaranteed by the same host that no additional charge would come to my account, I would simply not be refunded my deposit. Hey, she may be right, she made sure to demonstrate her financial might by oddly bragging about the number of properties she owns, to the individual who booked ten properties for their own wedding to accommodate guest, kind of odd. Lastly, don’t list your cabin as a suitable place for wedding guests to stay and then be upset when the wedding guest throw down a little, it’s a wedding? The place looks nice in the pictures though. ##### Erik M.
