About this house rental
The sounds of a rushing mountain stream will greet you as you begin your vacation at Bear Paw Falls. This cozy 2-bedroom, 2 bath home is secluded, but just minutes from the center of Maggie Valley. Bear Paw Falls is the perfect place for a truly delightful family venture yet cozy enough for a quiet get-a-way.
Enjoy peace and tranquility of the fresh mountain air as your steaks cook on the grill. Soak your feet in the babbling stream after a long day of hiking and sightseeing. On those colder evenings, you can curl up in front of a roaring fire while sipping cocoa. You will hardly notice the lack of AC when you open the windows and both full size french doors facing towards the cool breezes that roll off of the creek. Grab a good book and enjoy nature in the porch swing or grab a board game and sit on the picnic table and enjoy some family time.
Please note this property is not pet friendly. Unauthorized pets on property will incur a $300 per pet penalty. This property also does not have air conditioning. Bear Paw Falls is located on a paved road with a steady grade, and the driveway is hard packed dirt and gravel. 4-wheel drive or all-wheel drive vehicles possibly even snow chains might be needed during winter driving events.
Conveniently located to Waynesville, and only 10 minutes from Ingles and Publix grocery stores, or Walmart. Downtown, Main Street in Waynesville is only 15 min away where you can enjoy restaurants like Sauced, Sweet Onion, Boojum Brewery, and many more. While enjoying Downtown Waynesville and Main Street, stop by the many boutiques, customer furniture stores and even a dog friendly bakery.
Within a 20 minute drive you’ll arrive at Cataloochee Ski Area, Tube World (snow tubing), Wheels Through Time (historic motorcycle, as featured on History Channels “American Pickers”), horseback riding and golfing – all located in Maggie Valley.
This cabin is also a short 30-45 minute drive to the Blue Ridge Parkway, The Smoky Mountain National Park, and the Harrah's Casino in Cherokee (even if you do not gamble it has some of the best restaurants around), Pisgah National Forest, several golf courses. Asheville and the Biltmore Estates & Winery and several micro-breweries are all located within under an hour’s drive. Bryson City (home of the Smoky Mountain Railway and “Polar Express” during the Christmas Holiday) is approximately 45 minutes west of Maggie Valley and a little over an hour away is Transylvania County (home of the most waterfalls in the United States), and over 100 Antique Shops.
Just under an hour away south of Waynesville, in Hendersonville, you can visit Sierra Nevada Brewery (with their enormous dining and Tap Room), gem mining, white water rafting, zip-lining and much more in the surrounding areas, and a beautiful scenic route of an hour and half will take you to Gatlinburg, TN and Pigeon Forge (home of Dollywood).

This property was everything we had hoped it would be. Location was just outside of the town and very quiet. Property was easily accessible and provided everything we needed for a great stay. Though the property doesn't have AC, we were able to open the windows at night for some of that cool mountain air. The creek running in front of the house provided great ambient noise to sleep to and was great to sit and watch.

We liked the house and the stream topped it off. We love Maggie Valley as it is adjacent to Cherokee, Gatlinburg and surrounding areas.

Bear Paw Falls is a beautiful home in a very quiet and secluded area even though you are surrounded by other houses you will never know it. The house is well equipped for anything you might need or want to do while staying there. The view and sound of the creek from the whole house is to die for I will definitely be renting it again.

We had a great time in maggie valley. Weather was awesome and the creek in the back yard was beautiful and COLD. the only issue we ran into was the hot water heater wasn't big enough to accommodate 7 of us taking showers/baths. Overall the stay was awesome and plan on staying here again in the future.

Great location, but
This house has been occupied by a smoker. It smelled like it had been smoked in for years, despite the many air fresheners/perfumes around the house. There were ashtrays in the bathroom cabinet drawers.
The location was fantastic, as was the creek in the back. What you can't see from the pics is that you're 15 feet down the hill from the road. It wasn't busy, so that didn't really matter.
The cooking furnishings were bare minimum relative to the other vrbos we've rented in the past. If you need anything beside salt and pepper, bring it.
Check in and out was less than convenient. You have to drive 5 miles past the property, through the congested main part of Maggie Valley, to get the keys. And you have to return them to the same location. You also have to haul off your own garbage.
Fwiw, the actual price after fees was $100 more per night than the advertised rate.
We wanted to love this place; the actual cabin was wonderful. But the cigarette smoke was a deal-breaker, and the inconvenience of check in/out didn't help. I wish they'd have noted that on the listing. We would have found something else.
