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!

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.

The property was more than spacious enough to accommodate all of us. John was always available with a quick phone call to answer any questions we may have had. The cabin is perfectly located for day trips to Asheville and the Smoky Mountains, but still secluded enough for some well needed R&R. The lake itself is amazing. If you want to hit the lake for an afternoon of boating or kayaking, the Lake End marina down the street was awesome and staffed by some of the friendliest people I've ever met. Would definitely stay again ##### Cheng L. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2016 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Pete V. 20 Aug 2018 #### A very charming and comfortable mountain home. Ideal for families and a true get away. Very clean and well appointed. We had everything we needed to be comfortable and to enjoy some quiet time in the mountains. Kids loves the swing, pool table, arcade and board games. Parents loved the deck, the hot tub and the view of the mountains. Directions are accurate just need to follow them and not rely on GPS. Lots do do in the area including boating on the lake, whitewater rafting and a nearby trout farm! I highy recommend this place and appreciate Johns prompt attention through the process. ##### Pete V.

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.

It was dark when we arrived, so we were surprised/delighted when we woke up the next morning and saw the view. It was perfect for my children ages 8 & 19- we spent many hours playing pool and old school video games. The kitchen had plenty of pots/pans and other items any cook would need. Can't wait to go back again soon. BTW...our favorite was the rope swing by the cabin- not sure if it belonged to this cabin or not but we had a blast. ##### Kim B. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2018 ---
