Topton, North Carolina
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!
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
The cabin was perfect for our family with 3 kids under 6. We had a great time!
Was very easy renting the cabin and communicating with the property manager was good. John answered back right away when we had questions! Thank you for a nice trip! Being in the mountains was beautiful!!
This is our second time at this property, as we love it.. beautiful Mountain View, beautiful cabin, my kids LOVED the tire swing and acrcade/pool table and the adults enjoyed the hot tub! There is so much room in the cabin to spread out, great for multiple families! Just a few minute drive to a great cafe and boating activities on the water!! Host was great and got back to you quick! Thanks John.
We enjoyed our stay, beautiful cabin with great views!
The house and the view were amazing. Private and peaceful. We loved eating and hanging out at the local marina! The boys had a great time.
Everyone had a great stay. The setting was perfect. We enjoyed great mountain views, lake boating, fresh air. Much needed family retreat. Thanks.
We enjoyed our stay. The log cabin itself is sparkling clean, with beautiful views and plenty of beds for 9 people to sleep comfortably. Communication with owner was fantastic. My only concern is the drive up the mountain, and this is true for all homes on the mountain/lake, that you will have to drive up the steep gravel roads, and there are a number of blindspots along the shared mountain roads (caveat: some places have mirrors to help with blind spots but not all). We encountered cautious mountain drivers fortunately, who shared the road graciously - as only one car can pass at a time. If you are unaccustomed to these roads, a car with good tire traction or four wheel drive would help (though owner said is not necessary). The nearest grocery store is not far in distance but takes awhile to get to due to the curvy mountain roads, so plan accordingly. Be sure to follow the owner’s directions exactly as you will need them to find your way to the chalet (no cell service on the mountain but wifi at the house is good). Nonetheless, we loved the hot tub, satellite tv, the silence and the spacious cabin itself. Everything is easy to find in the kitchen as all cupboards are labeled - makes clean up so easy! Thanks for a restful stay in such a beautiful natural setting!
Communication from the owner was fantastic, easy process and a terrific value. With multiple extended family members a cabin with 3 separate living areas, 3 bathrooms and 2 kitchens everything worked great.
