About this property

Wow! Lake Nantahala Smoky Mountain Cabin with Boat Dock, Hot Tub & Firepit!

Check out the scenery at beautiful Lake Nantahala from the grand views in almost every room from our spacious log cabin! Sparkling and fresh with new furnishings as of August, 2025! Bring your boat, or rent one here, and dock it at our private 20' x 20' boat dock, located less than a 1/4 mile from the cabin. It's the perfect place to soak up the sun and swim in the crystal clear lake!

No 4 Wheel Drive needed here - we have year round easy access! We are located 100 yards up a gentle gravel incline road off scenic Wayah Road, a paved, state maintained, road.

The seclusion of this mountain retreat with hot tub and amazing views of Lake Nantahala and the Smoky Mountains make this home a great spot for gathering friends and family. This log cabin sleeps 8 in luxury bedding: king master bedroom on the main level, 2 queen bedrooms with spectacular views on the lower level, and queen bed in the open loft with breathtaking lake views. This getaway includes a main level open floor plan with great room, stone fireplace with gas logs, handcrafted dining table and airy kitchen. Enjoy the queen loft which looks out two stories of windows to the lake and Smoky Mountains. Have movie night in the second den on the lower level. Both living areas and the King Bedroom feature smart televisions with DishTV programming. Additional amenities include a hot tub with spectacular views, connected gas grill, Starlink Wifi so you're always connected, well stocked kitchen, all linens including beach towels, and laundry room with washer/dryer, iron and ironing board. 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, boat rentals just down the street, and our private dock for your enjoyment, getting on the water is no problem! This is also the ideal spot if you're attending a wedding or event at Nantahala Weddings & Events as it's right next door (easier to drive than walk when dressed for a wedding)! 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!

Experience total privacy, including no contact self check-in, at the immaculate cabin. Rest assured, unlike a hotel or resort, this is our personal home and we take pride in our high standard of cleanliness for ourselves and our guests!

We are so happy to be able to share this fabulous mountain cabin as a vacation rental! Bear's Lair on Lake Nantahala has been a successful rental cabin since it was built in 2003. We were fortunate to have purchased it in May, 2020 with the intention of carrying on the legacy of offering families an awesome mountain vacation. Having owned long term rentals for 30 years, we made the decision in 2016 to enter the vacation rental world and it has been a joy! Our properties are all listed on VRBO and are in Marathon, Florida in the FL Keys (VRBO # 1027392 and VRBO # 2413494; Central Florida on beautiful Lake Kerr (VRBO # 1090075) ; and 2 other homes 11 miles from this cabin on peaceful Wayah Creek near Wayah Bald (VRBO #7935707 and VRBO # 1110772). We take pride in offering guests immaculate surroundings with tasteful decor and all the creature comforts of home. Thank you for considering booking with us.....I hope you'll become a repeat visitor!
