We are excited to share our favorite place in the world! Situated outside of Murphy, North Carolina, "The Nest" is located in a special community called “Bear Paw.” Our family has been vacationing here since 2000\. Features: 3 bedrooms; 2 baths; additional beds in sunroom and den The master bedroom is on the main level and has a king bed; a second bedroom is on the main level and has two twin beds. The walkout basement has the third bedroom with a queen bed. The downstairs/walkout basement den has a twin daybed with twin trundle as well as a sofa bed. The sunroom is located off the master bedroom and has a full size futon bed. The sun-room has double doors that can be closed for privacy. Both floors have their own bathroom. The outside space includes a fire pit, screened in porch, and a front deck. Parking is located behind the cabin with only one step to the main level. Amenities: Bear Paw is a gated community with a community pool, clubhouse, covered pickleball courts, tennis courts, playground, volleyball net, basketball goal, a “catch and release” pond, and a full-service marina that includes boat, kayak, and paddle board rentals. “Nearby” towns and activities to explore: Murphy, NC & Blairsville, GA (30 minutes); Blue Ridge, GA (40 minutes); Chattanooga, TN & Helen, GA 1.5 hours; the Ocoee River, Hiwassee River, and Nantahala River Rafting/tubing outfitters. are located 40-60 minutes away. Hiking, waterfalls, and scenic drives, like the Cherohala Skyway, are close by. Harrah's Cherokee River Valley is located in Murphy. If you prefer to relax and unwind, then The Nest can check those boxes too. Sometimes our favorite thing to do is sit and listen to the birds, thus "The Nest." We also love spending time on Hiwassee Lake or floating in the community pool. ## Property amenities ### Pool/Spa - Communal pool - Outdoor pool ### Internet - Available in the cabin: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Hob - Ice maker - Kitchen island - Lobster/crab pot - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shower - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room - Wood stove ### Entertainment - DVD player - Games - Smart TV - Video library ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - Area rugs in public areas - Handrails in stairways - Hardwood flooring in public areas - No lift - Tile flooring in public areas - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Phone ### Things to do - Hiking/biking trails 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) ### General - At least 80% lighting from LEDs - Unit size: 1,800 square feet - Water-efficient toilets ## Similar properties ![Microwave, oven, stovetop, dishwasher](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/119000000/118330000/118323200/118323189/ca99143f.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Lakefront Living- Completely remodeled 3 BR/3.5 BA on water with dock.
