Our 20’ x 20’ boat dock and viewing deck are less than 1/4 mile away. Bring your boat or rent one here and leave it, along with all of your water toys, at the dock!

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.

Additional amenities include a new hot tub with spectacular views installed in August 2020, connected gas grill, internet, landline telephone, 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 and boat rentals just down the street, getting on the water is no problem! 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!

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!

This home is just breathtaking, we could not believe our eyes when we walked in. The photos could never do it justice, it is the most beautiful cabin we have ever seen and we cannot even describe the VIEW. We got lucky with sporadic periods of rain that made the mountains extra “smoky” and everything looked surreal! The inside of the home was spotless and the beds were very comfortable. The drive up to the cabin is well maintained and does not require AWD, we were able to drive up and down even with the rain in our FWD vehicle with no issues. Our only regret is not staying longer, just WOW!! Thank you for sharing this slice of paradise with us and we look forward to be back one day for a longer stay.

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.

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)

Ample.parking once up the hill. No cell coverage and the internet is spotty. Who needs it! Enjpy the view and the got tub instead. Owners were very nice and easy to contact. Just rent it and enjoy

Beautiful property that met all expectations. The view and home layout are the best we've seen in over 5 trips to the NC Mountains. Owner was responsive and helpful. Bottom line, we really enjoyed ourselves. Property is secluded to recharge, but close enough to activities when we wanted them. highly recommend!

Our son got married at Nantahala Weddings, and this home was a 1 minute drive to the venue - it couldn't have been more convenient. The place was as advertised with a great view of the lake. Everything was clean, and there was plenty of space for a family celebration. Thank you Kathy.

The owners were so accommodating since the moment we arrived at the property. People like this are hard to come by nowadays. Everything was clean, neat and in order! Everything that you needed was already in the Vrbo description so it was very helpful! The view was phenomenal, the lower and upper decks were absolutely stunning, the firepit area was perfect. The private dock right down the street was great and everybody enjoyed it. If you have younger kids coming to this property, just be aware that the driveway and drop off by the drive is only divided by a small wooden fence, so you have to make sure kids are watched at ALL TIMES. Our stay was great so thank you for having us! :)

We had such an incredible time at this cabin we hardly wanted to leave! We were provided with many resources and very thorough instructions. We loved the bear theme through the house and we felt right at home! Can’t recommend this place enough. 10/10!!

Beautiful, clean home with lots of amenities and gorgeous views of the lake. We spent a lot of time on the deck taking pics of the lake and surrounding mountains and lots more time on the private dock kayaking, boating, taking more amazing pics, and just hanging out as a family. Highly recommend. The property owner was wonderful and always responded quickly to questions, Added plus was the property had wifi (which we didn't use much because we were out and about) and the driveway and parking situation was much better than most properties we've visited and seen in Nantahala.

We had a wedding nearby and this house was the perfect location for some of the wedding party. It’s one of the closestz to the venue, easy to get to, and has plenty of parking. Being on a mountain, many of the houses and driveways are very steep to drive to. But this was perfect.

This was the best cabin and setting for a Natahala Wedding. Not only were the views absolutely radiant, but the location was so close that it made the weekend perfect! I want to thank the owners for doing such a great job of upkeep, presentation and making this a stellar weekend!

Perfect location to our daughters wedding and remarkable breath taking views from the home and both decks!! I have already provided the listing to two friends that loved our photos. The best part about the home was watching the sunset over the lake while sitting on the comfy outdoor sectional. A must stay location. Host, was fantastic as well. Thank you Kathy!! 💗

This is a spectacular place to spend a getaway from the bustle of the city, the cabin is beautiful, super clean and well equipped. The road to get there's long and a bit dangerous but a little of adventure is also enjoyable, it is worth to enjoy this paradise.

We had a wonderful time attending my niece’s wedding. It is right next door to the wedding facility and was an easy walk. House is great, everything you need, except an electric kettle!! So drinkers be warned. Wonderful views and a beautiful great room to sit and enjoy the scenery. Very responsive owner, couple of texts and they were answered in seconds. All in all a very good experience.

Cozy cabin with a million dollar view

Cozy cabin with a million dollar view

The Bairs Lair is a quiet cozy cabin in the heart of the mountains. It was clean and comfortable, and had everything we needed for our stay. The view from the deck is absolutely amazing! The dock is a short drive down from the cabin, but a wonderful place to play on the water. We would definitely stay here again!

What a financial miscommunication!

What a financial miscommunication!

I did not actually stay at the property, I was getting married that weekend and rented the cabin for members of a wedding party. Miscommunications occurred that led to guests who owned a dog staying at this property which did not allow dogs. I was charged my security deposit as a result and here is where the only issue arose. After speaking with the host, I was made aware that my security deposit would simply not be returned to me, but no additional fee would be charged. I accepted this but was surprised to see an additional $500 be charged during my honeymoon, from none other than vrbo. I was confused because I was led to believe that no additional charge would come, which was not true. Apparently, I should have informed the host that I used a debit card before being told this information, because a security deposit was never charged for my stay. I believe I am the first person to ever book a VRBO property and not be charged a security deposit! What a historic moment! Anyways, after VRBO was quite unresponsive, I was blessed enough to receive financial advice from the host, who told me that I should do a better job of handling my finances, because I would have known a security deposit was never charged a year ago when I booked the property along with ten other properties for me and my wife’s special day! This was the day after I was guaranteed by the same host that no additional charge would come to my account, I would simply not be refunded my deposit. Hey, she may be right, she made sure to demonstrate her financial might by oddly bragging about the number of properties she owns, to the individual who booked ten properties for their own wedding to accommodate guest, kind of odd. Lastly, don’t list your cabin as a suitable place for wedding guests to stay and then be upset when the wedding guest throw down a little, it’s a wedding? The place looks nice in the pictures though.

Great property, up a typically steep hill but not far up. Gorgeous morning view of the “Smokey” Nantahala Lake and the very looong evening sunset, not fully dark until nearly 9:30 pm. Comfortably furnished and equipped. Highly recommended.
