Waterfront Mountain Cabin on Lake HiwasseenPrivate Dock, Kayaks, Great Views | House in Murphy
4 Bedroom House in Unaka, Murphy
Unplug and settle into lake life at this true waterfront cabin on beautiful Lake Hiwassee, located in the gated Bear Paw community near Murphy, North Carolina. Tucked into a quiet cove and surrounded by the Nantahala National Forest, this newly renovated cabin offers a peaceful year-round escape for couples, families, or friends.
The cabin sits directly on the lake and comfortably sleeps six with three bedrooms and two bathrooms. Inside, the open main level feels warm and inviting, with a fully stocked kitchen designed for real cooking rather than quick meals. Thoughtful touches like quality cookware and a burr coffee grinder make slow mornings on the deck especially enjoyable. The living area features a wood-burning fireplace that adds warmth and charm on cool evenings, along with Wi-Fi and a TV with streaming services for when you want to relax indoors.
Outdoor living is the highlight of this cabin. Multiple waterfront decks overlook the lake and lead down to a private dock with easy access for swimming, fishing, or launching the kayaks and rafts included with your stay. Outdoor cooking becomes part of the experience here, whether you’re grilling lunch after a morning on the water or settling in for a long evening meal using the charcoal grill, gas grill, or pellet smoker. A screened porch at the entrance offers another comfortable spot to unwind, especially on breezy mountain days.
Just below the decks, the stone fire pit creates a favorite gathering place at the end of the day. Adirondack chairs and a hanging porch swing invite you to linger by the fire, roast s’mores, or simply enjoy the quiet as the lake glimmers through the trees. In cooler months, the crisp mountain air and star-filled skies make this space especially cozy and memorable.
Guests also enjoy access to Bear Paw Resort, a private gated community with 24-hour security. The resort offers a marina with boat rentals, a community pool, playground, fishing pond, and tennis courts, all while maintaining a peaceful, uncrowded atmosphere that allows you to truly relax.
Boating, kayaking, swimming, and fishing begin right outside your door, while nearby adventures include whitewater rafting on the Nantahala and Ocoee Rivers, scenic hiking trails, waterfalls, and ziplining. The cabin is an easy drive to Murphy, North Carolina, as well as Blue Ridge, Helen, and Hiawassee, Georgia, making day trips simple and scenic.
Guests return for the true waterfront setting, private dock, quiet cove location, and the thoughtful balance of comfort, outdoor living, and resort amenities. With no hidden fees and a setting designed for slowing down, this Lake Hiwassee cabin is an easy place to relax and reconnect.
Whether you’re planning summer lake days, fall foliage weekends by the fire, cozy winter evenings indoors, or peaceful spring mornings on the deck, this cabin invites you to enjoy the best of mountain lake living.
