Great property for family..lovely views of mountain and lake. Deer and other interesting wildlife could be viewed from the wrap around deck. Owner was very nice and accommodating. Great stay!

Beautiful, well appointed cabin close to Nantahala Outdoor Center. Very quiet area. We were there in November so the lake activities and restaurant were closed. But we found beautiful hiking trails within 15 miles. Internet is sketchy but we had games to play and had fun and s’mores by the fire pit.

We enjoyed our stay as it was a beautiful home in the quiet mountains of western NC. We especially enjoyed sitting on the deck and watching as the hummingbirds would come to the feeders. There is some great hiking in the area and we even rented a boat at the marina for an afternoon. The only downside was the time it took to drive from the house to get into the closest small town. We had to plan ahead and combine trips, so we didn't have to spend so much time driving back and forth from the house.

Will definitely rent “Bearadise” again in the near future.

Oscar is a great communicator and everything was as he said it would be.

Great stay with all the amenities you could need, very secluded so it’s nice to have anything you might have forgot at home. Beautiful views!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Bearadise. The house was super clean and provided everything our family needed to cook our meals there, sleep peacefully and just enjoy the mountains. The local town had a grocery and pharmacy for anything you may have forgotten. The drive up was fun. A few miles on gravel roads that are well maintained. Accessible by any suv or truck. We traveled to Nantahala’s Outdoor center. About. 45 min drive through beautiful country. Saw a few waterfalls in the way!

This property has everything you would look for in a rental. All appliances worked other than the ice cube dispenser. It made ice but we we removed the ice collected and poured the ice into a bowl. A matter of convenience. Be aware, this property is not for the faint hearted or those with ankle, knee and hip problems. Plenty of steps.

This was a great family getaway! Plenty of room in this super clean home with everything we needed right down to spices and aluminum foil! Private dock access to the lake was a plus, just a short walk or drive “around the corner”. We wish it were a little closer to the NOC- 40 minutes- but manageable. Be ready to drive on gravel roads, but Corolla handled it well. If you plan on arriving at 4:30- bring dinner with you and settle in for the night- explore the next day! Lakes End restaurant highly recommended! Oscar was always available! Answered every question promptly. Thanks again!

The cabin is beautiful and very comfortable. It was stocked with everything you will need to cook and dine and everything was very clean. The lake and boat dock are walkable, all of the other area activities require driving. Oscar provided a lot of information on things to do and was very helpful and responsive. One thing I wish I had known/paid more attention to is that the last bit of the trek up the mountain is gravel and steep with some blind curves. Our car made it with no problem (June) but if there is any weather at all, I'd want 4WD. Also, there is no cell service so make sure your map is saved and know that the "shortest" way Google Maps will try to send you is a very steep trek up Vista Loop Rd. You don't have to turn here - keep going and the road will come back around to Vista Loop and the cabin is right there. It was a beautiful, peaceful place to unplug. We'd go back again!

The Cabin was Beautiful on the inside, however we could not enjoy any of the outside because of unkept property. Gras was very high and also hornets nest was all over the deck.

I was happy upon entering Bearadise to find it very clean. Kitchen was well stocked. Beds very comfortable. A lovely mountain cabin and very relaxing. Although, we arrived safely, directions to cabin were challenging . I would definitely suggest arriving before dark, if not familiar with mountain driving. Oscar was attentive and checked in with us to see that things were going well. Great weekend! Loved every minute from bonfire outside to fireplace inside!

Oscar’s place matches the online description. Plenty of space for a family to stay without being crammed. A ton of kitchen supplies and random baking and cooking ingredients like spices, etc. Make sure to follow his directions or else you’ll definitely get lost! Super communicative and easy to get a hold of. Thanks for letting us stay!

This cabin was a wonderful break away from our busy lives during the Holiday Season. Pros: The cabin is cozy and comfortable and has everything you need for your stay. The beds are very comfortable and the kitchen is well stocked if you plan on cooking. Cons: There is absolutely no cell service in the entire surrounding area - but the wifi at the cabin is good. I would definitely recommend a 4 wheel drive vehicle. Oscar was a fabulous host! Very attentive and took care of everything we needed.

Bearadise was exactly what me and my family wanted for our Thanksgiving vacation. The cabin was beautiful, comfortable, well equipped and clean. Oscar was always available for questions and suggestions about the house and area. The surrounding area was absolutely beautiful. My family are swimmers and we had great access to beautiful Natahala lake. Yes, it was freezing but my family couldn't pass it up! Too beautiful! We were able to cook a full Thanksgiving dinner in the ample sized kitchen and we all loved the silence and beauty of our hikes around the house and in the Natahala forest. Can't say enough how much we all loved it and how we felt we really got away from our busy lives and just enjoyed the lovely area.

Beautiful home. Way up top the mountain. Off grid for anyone AT&T for sure.

Relaxing but a long distance from town. We absolutely love the place. Oscar was great to deal with. We had a hard time coming in late in the evening the very first night the gps took us to the wrong place but when we found it the place was wonderful the only thing everyone said in the group was no matter where we went we had a long drive coming back with a lot of switchbacks but it is beautiful. If you’re wanting to get away from everything that is the cabin to go to. We seen deer and turkey right in the front yard in the evenings. It would take us a while to get off the mountain with a lot of switchbacks and then a long drive back. If you have someone with you that is older it may not be the cabin for you because you have to climb the stairs to get into the cabin but we enjoyed it. We had children with us and Oscar was great about helping us find things to do that the children would love. He suggested Darnell Farms to go to the pumpkin patch it was awesome and a must if you go to Bryson City the children were able to pick their own pumpkin from the pumpkin patch. Everything we asked Oscar he was great about trying to find out all the information he could for us before we arrived. We have decided we like this area much better than Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge with all the traffic and the hustle bustle. The cabin is very well-stocked with most everything you need just a suggestion we did not think about taking matches for the fire pit make sure you take matches with you when you go to start the fire.Thanks Oscar we enjoyed it

Great house with nice facilities and very clean, highly recommend. Just beware spotty signal/wifi as is the area so be sure to print out/save offline directions for navigation nearby. Also the keypad for the community gate is not at the gate itself but rather 50ft or so behind it next to a rock - hard to see at night, be advised.

Bearadise is a very well appointed and comfortable cabin. As some of the other posts have noted - it's a bit "out of the way" in a small lake-side community that is accessed via a gravel road. We had no issues getting to the cabin and the property owner provided us a map and quite a bit of information in advance. The property is very clean, neat and comfortable and could easily accommodate 6 - 8 people. Our trip was a just a weekend get-away and there were only "us 2". The lake is a short walk away and is beautiful. As I'm a fly-fisher, the cabin is relatively close to the Nantahala River. We enjoyed the privacy; wireless worked great. Again, as others have noted - we had zero cell-service, but it wasn't an issue - we just connected to the wireless and were good-to-go.

Communicating with Oscar was wonderful. The cabinet was extremely clean and worked out well for my husband our two kids my in-laws to stay in. We specifically chose this cabin because the stairs in it his cabin were safer than any we had seen in the Topton area. Though we did get stuck on the gravel road our second day getting to the cabin and driving at night is very scary in the area the views of the lake in the mountains are beautiful.It is a bit of a hike to get to the neighborhood dock I recommend going to the area marina also definitely add to your list renting a pontoon from the marina highlight of the trip. Again the cabin was wonderful huge laundry room grade bed set up in the living room and dining room with kitchen was wonderful only issue was scariness of driving up the road at night and how steep they were

Very well equipped! A gem in the mountains with access (10min walk) to the lake; my kids loved the fishing/boating pier and I loved the quiet surroundings, away from the hustle of city life. The new mattresses are great to sleep on; my entire family agreed.

My family had so much fun on the lake, water skiing, tubing. Lake Nantahala is absolutely beautiful. Our cabin was perfect, everything you need was there. Bring plenty of food, it’s a little far for shopping. I would highly recommend this cabin.
