Wow! 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! 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!

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 feature flat screen TV’s with DishTV programming as well as the King bedroom. Additional amenities include a hot tub with spectacular views, connected gas grill, Starlink Wifi so you're always connected, well stocked kitchen, and laundry room. 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! 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. We are ensuring the health and well being of each guest by following CDC Guidelines to disinfect and sanitize with an EPA approved cleaner all hard surfaces, door knobs, remote controls, faucets, cabinet pulls and other areas in order to protect against COVID 19. Rest assured, unlike a hotel or resort, this is our personal home and we take pride in our high standard of hygiene for ourselves and our guests.

Amazing everything

The cabin itself is in immaculate condition...well made and SO clean. It was supplied with everything we needed. There are so many fun little details to discover from the gorgeous carvings in the fireplace mantle to the super awesome lamp bases. You can tell that Kathy and her crew puts a lot of love and attention to detail into this beautiful piece of paradise. We will definitely be coming back! ainattendeadetadetaipeaceful

Lake View Dreaming

This cabin was exactly what we needed and were looking for over the Thanksgiving holiday. The cool mountain air, stillness of Nantahala Lake, and quiet of the woods as exactly what we wanted. We enjoyed hanging out in the hot tub at least once a day everyday. (One of the cleanest and not over chlorinated hot tubs we’ve ever encountered at other rentals). Kathy was super communicative and very clear with all instructions. The lack of reception is not a joke, but the WiFi was great and I had no issues working remotely during my stay. Would definitely recommend and come back again!

We really enjoyed our stay. Everything was perfect. The owner gave us very informative notes and directions. She thought of everything we might need. She always replied immediately to any of my texts. It was one of the best places that I have stayed. I would definitely recommend it to anyone.

Magical

Every moment was magical! BEAUTIFUL VIEW of the lake and mountains. The cabin was well equipped with everything we needed. Instructions and recommendations were detailed and helpful. The light-up hot tub was fun and relaxing. Took a trip to Bryson City for lunch and ice-cream. We visited the beef jerky store and stocked up! Definitely on my list to go back and experience more mountain life like hiking, horseback riding and white water rafting! Big thanks to our gracious hostess!

Beautiful house, lovely view, prompt response by owner on any issues. Kitchen pans/pots could use an upgrade and there needs to be more plates/bowls for 8 people. However, those are super minor details and we would definitely stay there again!

That View!

Great property. Excellent stay. The view! The only negative is that the air conditioner did not cool the upper level so it was very warm during our stay given the open floor plan and many windows that provide the million dollar view. May not be an issue at all most months, but with the hot, humid spell we are experiencing, it was not ideal. I would totally stay at Bear’s Liar again. It is very well done and comfortable.

Wedding weekend

Loved our stay in this cabin! We would definitely stay again if we could! Our family made wonderful memories here and at the Nantahala wedding venue where our daughter got married last weekend! The dock was perfect for all our family members and pontoons! The cabin was spacious, clean, and convenient to the venue! The views are simply AMAZING!!! We may even enlarge a picture of this view so we can see it all the time! We didn’t want to leave! Thank you SO much for this wonderful opportunity ! Deb and Paul (IL)
