Cozy cabin with gorgeous view from the deck.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay of 4 nights at Bear Paw. There was plenty for our grandsons to do with video games and a pool table in the cabin and a basketball goal at the entrance to Bear Paw. The kids also went mining for gems in Murphy.

We enjoyed how family friendly this cabin was. There was plenty of space for the kids and lots of toys/games for them to do. The views were nice and the area was beautiful. The host was easy to contact and went out of his way to return something left behind. Definitely would recommend.

nice quiet area

Overall, it was a great property. I went down there with 3 friends in a ford pickup towing a 20' trailer with our motorcycles in it. That was about as long a vehicle as i would take in there and i am a professional driver. It did fit and we were able to get the trailer in the driveway but it was tight. Aside from that, the stay was excellent. It's a very nice house with sufficient amenities. I will strongly suggest that you go food shopping on your way to the house since the closest store is 20 mins away and the closest Walmart is 35-40 mins. All in all, i would rent this property again.

Fun!

Plenty of space. So much thought went in to entertainment for all ages. We played card and board games, puzzles, so much fun playing pool, darts, and Wii baseball, golf, and Mario cart. Our youngest granddaughters had plenty of toys that were there. We didn’t even touch the huge movie selection but we weren’t there long enough to need them. Bruce was very easy to reach before and during our stay with questions we had.

We had a wonderful stay! Plenty of space, 8 adults, a 3 year old & a 1 year old. Loved the large kitchen living room area, loved the screened-in porch (used every day/night), loved the pool table & dart board. Bedrooms have plenty of room, large washer & dryer, lots of towels! Wished there was better signage & maybe solar lights along the driveway. Very dark at night. Overall, we had a great time & the house is beautiful! Thank you Bruce for making us comfy!

It was a great price and great location if you want to stay away from town but close enough to drive to locations. We had three small families stay and it accommodated us just fine! I thought it would be too small when I pulled up but when you walk in there is plenty of room!

A nice comfortable home.

It's very clear the owners of this property are conscientious and have provided everything for their guests to have a comfortable stay. The recreation room with games for kids and toy-box for toddlers was a thoughtful plus. Nice pool table. Super comfortable lounge furniture in the living room was great for relax and movies. Nice modern appliances including washer and dryer. The extra drink fridge on the screened patio came in quite handy. The gas grill was nice and new with plenty of gas. We did have to clean it before use as the last tenant failed to do so. The kitchen has everything necessary and there is a lot of storage so you just have to locate it. I recommend an inventory/location list be posted to help. For example, we found the pot holders next to the last day; had been using a dish towel up to that point. If you've done VRBO before you already know to bring your own knives, or at least a good sharpener; we brought both. Tried to buy pool noodles at Walmart but they didn't have any. About four days before before leaving, we found some in the downstairs bedroom. Like I said, everything is there. Overall, a very nice and relaxing stay. Cons: Unfortunately, the pool was out of commission for most of our stay and the community center barely open. The pool however is very nice. The grandkids got bored with the playground very quickly. Internet access is fine for surfing but a bit spotty for streaming; specifically during peak hours. #prime time #bandwidth. The location is a bit more remote than we had anticipated. Nice for quiet and relaxation; requires a little extra planning for grocery shopping and daily outings. (You'll probably want to have a cooler in the summer months) All-in-all it was a great stay and I would recommend to anyone who wants to get away and enjoy peace, quiet and relaxation.

Wonderful

We stayed here last summer with our family and we had an amazing time. The home itself is beautiful and spacious. There was lots of room for the kids to spread out and they loved having the basement and pool table as their area. It is a bit of a hike to any kind of civilization but that's exactly what we were after. And the driveway and parking is a bit precarious. The property owner was super helpful and gracious when we spoke. We are looking to stay here again which is rare for us because we rarely like somewhere enough to visit more than once.

Relaxing property

We felt secure at the property and even though it was in a gated community we did not have any noise issues or insecurities. They property was a little far from shopping if anything was needed (30 min drive) but was very well prepared for our stay. Kids had a blast with toys/games and pool table. Adults had relaxing experience. We would stay again!

Great Spring Break Destination

This property was just right for our crew. Plenty of room for several activities. Our 12 yo grandson learned how to play pool, and also darts. Was his first experience with both, so nice Dad could teach him correctly. Some enjoyed putting together a couple puzzles that were there. The view out to the lake was beautiful. Deck great for enjoying the sounds and sightings of the birds. Roadways nice for early morning runs (never saw another car in our six days there). The whole area was peaceful and quiet. Lovely sunrises from the deck. The sleeping options were plentiful and all were comfy. Our grandson especially enjoyed the loft. Everything we needed was available as advertised. We all had a fine time, and thank the host, Sam, for a great place to call "home" while visiting Murphy, NC.
