About this property
Cozy Mountain Retreat! Lake & Mountain Views, Pet friendly! Fiber internet!!
Need a break from reality? Are the mountains calling you for a quiet, peaceful getaway? Time for a sabbatical? Goal setting retreat? Girls weekend? Just the 2 of you? Whether you are traveling alone or as a group, come rejuvenate in our tranquil little cottage with the lake views and beautiful mountain setting where birds sing and squirrels run.
At Morning Glory Cottage (3 bed, 2 bath, maximum capacity 6) you can enjoy the quiet sunrises from our full-length screen porch. In the evening take a short walk to experience the sun setting across the Nantahala National Forest and finish the evening enjoying the outdoor firepit, indoor wood-burning fireplace or our favorite quiet conversation on the screen porch.
The main level has one step from the driveway into the house for easy access for limited mobility guests. Main level features 2 bedrooms (1 king and 1 queen) and a full bath with walk-in shower. Perfect for guests of all ages and physical abilities. The main level also has a fully-stocked kitchen, dining area for 6 and den with wood-burning fireplace and gas starter! (Firewood available seasonally.)
The best part is full-length screened porch with treehouse year-round views of Lake Hiawasee and Nantahala mountains. The lower level features a large media room with game table, master bedroom (king) and full bath with walk-in shower and claw-foot tub, laundry room and access to full-length covered porch with more lake and mountain views.
Morning Glory Cottage is in the Bear Paw Community of Lake Hiwassee where North Carolina, Tennessee and Georgia come together (not to be confused with the town of Hiawassee, Georgia on Lake Chatuge). We are 30 minutes west of Murphy, North Carolina and a 2 hour drive from Atlanta GA, Chattanooga TN, Knoxville TN and Asheville NC.

About the host
Hosted by Sheree Crowe
Hello! We are a mother (Sheree) daughter (Stacey) team and we live in the Atlanta area. We work hard managing our work lives and personal lives. We especially enjoy our down time with family and friends.
Morning Glory is truly our happy place and our respite from work, school and "busy" lives.

Why they chose this property
Our family has enjoyed vacationing in Bear Paw and on Lake Hiwassee since 2004 when my brother and his wife bought a house on the lake. Later they built a house to rent and later sold. Then in 2016 my dad and brothers built a family vacation home
In 2017 during a family reunion in Bear Paw we learned this house was for sale by owner. We peeped in the windows, prayed about it and called the owners. It didn't take long for the four of us - Sheree & Clint, Stacey & Mike - to decide it was the right time and the right property. October 2017 it became our dream. We immediately began sprucing up this sweet home that had been empty for years as a retreat for young and old to rest and rejuvenate.
Stacey quickly named her Morning Glory Cottage.
In 2024, we started our porch expansion allowing for some amazing stargazing!

What makes this property unique
Because Clint and I have parents who were not able to easily climb stairs the first thing to draw us to Morning Glory was the stepless entry. Bear Paw is in the mountains so most houses require a lot of stairs and steep inclines to the house. At Morning Glory, you can drive to the front door and there is one little ramp step into the house. Super easy for unloading too.
We also love that the main level has 2 bedrooms (king and queen), full bath with walk-in shower, den, kitchen and our very, very favorite - full-length screen porch. This allowed our parents (and some day us) to enjoy a nice vacation with ease.
Speaking of screen porch... the views of the lake and the mountains reminded us of sitting in a treehouse when we were young... without the climbing or swaying parts :-)
In 2022, we renovated the lower level to expand the media room so now there are 2 very comfortable areas for watching movies, playing games and sitting outside to enjoy the quiet views.
Bear Paw is a quiet, secluded community where you just hear the trees rustle in the summer and occasionally a boat passing on the lake. When real life gets so loud and you just need to be quiet and rest, come stay with us!
