Lake Nantahala was mentioned as one of the top ten cleanest man made lakes in the world. And because only five percent of its shoreline can be built out, the lake is not crowded and you’ll enjoy the true beauty of the lake and mountains.

The Nantahala area is popular for whitewater rafting, kayaking, river tubing, canoeing, camping, fishing, mountain hiking and biking, and snow skiing. The Cherokee Indian Reservation & Casino is also located nearby.

Charming get away in the mountains

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.

Great stay at Bearadise!

From the moment we checked in, we felt relaxed and at home. The cabin is amazingly stocked and has such a welcoming and cozy decor. We spent our time hiking, boating on the lake, day tripping to Dollywood, and much more. The location is very remote and town is pretty sleepy. I suggest you stock up on food and essentials before arriving. Overall, great stay! We will be back for sure!

We had a wonderful stay at Bearadise in the Nantahala Mountains. The cabin was spotless, cozy, and very well equipped for an extended stay, everything we needed was provided. The surrounding area is stunningly beautiful, and we’d love to return.A quick note for future guests: the drive in can be a little tricky. Our GPS led us past the correct entrance and toward a questionable, steep road that we thankfully avoided. Since there’s no cell service once you get close, make sure you know the route ahead of time.Once at the cabin, everything was easy and convenient. The high-speed Wi-Fi worked flawlessly, and having a landline was reassuring. Overall, Bearadise was a peaceful, comfortable retreat, and we recommend it to anyone looking to enjoy the beauty of the Nantahala Mountains.

Bearadise is the best!

The home is gorgeous and well equipped for any need imaginable. The setting is dream like, very private on a large wooded lot and a short walk to lake access, dock and beautiful Nantahala Lake. We had daily provisions with us so we didn’t really need to leave the property and were content to enjoy the immediate surroundings. However, the area has much to offer from previous visits in hiking, rafting, scenic drives and waterfall viewing. Host was accessible to answer any questions. We couldn’t have been more pleased.

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!

Greatest Of All Time (Written by my 10 year old son) It was amazing everything was so clean. They had everything from a toaster oven to a pull out bed. The community dock was so big and water was so deep and cool. The overall view was so beautiful you couldn’t believe how breathtaking the view was. You need to go there but not before we come back for more.

Beautiful clean home in a beautiful lake community

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.

Great Cabin ... in the Mountains

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.

Hummingbird paradise

Beautiful cabin with a wonderful furnished deck. The views were spectacular and the cabin was just as described. The communication with the host was very good. We had our family with us and had plenty of room. Our only concern was the location is not convenient to go back and forth to activities. Everything is about 45 minutes away with intense driving. The neighborhood roads are gravel and please do not follow your GPS up the exit. (my mustang ended up on the side of the road) there are signs telling you it is the exit....please pay attention to this. We would definitely stay here again but leave my mustang at home and be prepared to spend more time in the house enjoying all of the beauty found right there.

Beautiful cabin in the mountains

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!

Nice Place

Lovely house in a wooded environment. Clean. Roomy. Quiet. Everything was in good working condition. There is fast WiFi for the internet addicts and DirectTV for the TV addicts. There are bear-related decorations everywhere. There are several taxidermied antelope and deer heads mounted on the living room walls. Some people might be put off by that. We enjoyed our stay. We also enjoyed sitting on the deck and watching the hummingbirds that came to the feeders hanging from the deck railings after we filled them. Before we filled them, they were coming to the empty feeders and getting frustrated. The only drawback of this house that I can think of is that to reach it, you have to drive on 1.8 miles of sometimes steep and curvy dirt roads that are 1 to 1 1/2 lanes wide. Fortunately we never encountered opposing traffic during our several trips in and out. If we had, someone would have had to back up (if it was a 1 lane section) or carefully squeeze by (if it was a 1 1/2 lane section). The plus side of this remoteness is that there is very little traffic which makes the roads in this gated community nice for walking although some sections are pretty steep, as is the walk back up from the community dock down by the lake. Good exercise.
