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, a 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 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, Chattanooga, Knoxville or Asheville.

    The view to the lake through autumn leaves was awesome. Bear Paw Community is friendly and very peaceful. My dog and I walked all over, she seldom had to come and be leashed up for traffic. Deer, chipmunks, squirrels. The interior looks as advertised, minus rugs and plus slipcovers which might be because we were traveling with a dog. Kitchen is reasonably stocked - seasonings, extras. No cooking oil and sorry, w/ the price of EVOO, I didn't leave it behind! Thirty plus minutes to the store.

    The house itself is very nice and equipped with anything you might need, but the best feature is the view from the screen porch. You can see the lake. Not a clear view but beautiful through the tree tops. I've never been anywhere so quiet. All we heard were birds and an occaisonal boat. The wifi was down and cell service is very spotty, but a blessing to get away from there. Can't wait to return.

    This is an ideal home for family and friends with complete amenities for everyone’s comfort. The porch was a favorite to hang out listening to nature and music. The lake made a beautiful view with the sunrise and sunset. Definitely want to stay again. Sheree is a wonderful host as we arrived early and she was very accommodating. Thank you dear lady!
