About this chalet rental

Secluded on three acres at the top of the mountain. 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, large, flat screen TVs with satellite dish. 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 not get a cell signal in the chalet (although sometimes in the driveway)& (We do at the gas station and marina approx. 5 mins. away.) We have a landline with free long distance in the continental U.S. 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! ENJOY!

Our family of 5 stayed here for a long weekend with extended family who stayed on Lake Nantahala. 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.

The house was perfect for our son's wedding party. The wedding venue was very close. Right next to the marina. Everything worked out well.

A good experience. I went with my family between Christmas and New Year and here is my honest review PRO Great views, spacious cabin, John was kind and attentive. The pool table, arcade and hot tub were a great addition to keep the family entertained. The cabin is up on a mountain and secluded as well. The kitchen was well stocked and provided nearly everything we needed. Do be prepared between 2pm-5pm when the sun is setting, the great views also bring in great heat when as the sun heats up the main floor. CON - Wifi was very slow, not strong enough for streaming or watching videos. There is also no cellular connection, (which is mentioned in the description), We were prepared for no signal, just didn't expect the wifi to be very slow and limiting. - The TV in the common room does not work properly, the sound is busted and there are discolored streaks along the screen, which really hindered any movie or TV experience. There is a TV downstairs, which can be a solution but it's smaller than the upstairs one. The TV is also not smart. We tried to pull up Netflix multiple times but it never loaded. - It was not decorated for Christmas, something very minor but it would've been nice to see some sort of Christmas decor given we arrived Christmas day. Overall, we enjoyed the cabin. Given the limited access to technology, it helped us figure out ways to stay entertained while enjoying the views
