North Carolina mountain home with spectacular view of Lake Chatuge & Mountains!

This beautiful 4 bedroom - 3 bath mountain home is located in the mountains of Western North Carolina just fifteen minutes from Hiawassee, Georgia. This is a 4000 square foot luxury vacation home that provides a spectacular view of Lake Chatuge and the Smoky Mountain range any time of the day! It sits on 2 acres at the top of Eagles View Mountain in Hayesville, North Carolina, which is about a two-hour scenic drive from either the Atlanta, Asheville or Chattanooga airports. The roads are all paved up Eagles View Mountain right to our flat oversized driveway on the house. You are also welcome to park one car in the garage!
“Black Bear Hideaway” features a beautifully decorated open floor plan on the main level with floor to ceiling windows, a big living room with a large wood burning fireplace, SMART TV, high ceilings, a wet bar, a farm table dining area that seats 6-8, a large fully equipped gourmet kitchen and a full size laundry room! There is a half bath on the main level and a large furnished deck, ceiling fan, new gas grill and table to enjoy eating outside. The windows on the entire back of the house, and all three decks provide a simply breathtaking view of the expansive mountain range and Lake Chatuge below!
The large Master Bedroom and bathroom is on the top level of the house making it very quiet and private. It has a large walk-in closet with a dressing table, its own private deck, a very comfy queen bed and bedding, sitting chair and windows across the back to enjoy the gorgeous view! The Master Bathroom has a large jetted soaking tub to relax in at the end of a busy day and a separate walk-in shower, double sinks and linen closet.
On the lower level of the house is a large family room with a gas fireplace, SMART TV and an outside furnished covered deck. Down the hallway there are two bedrooms, one queen and one king, each with their own sliding glass doors opening out to the deck and mountain view. For more than six people, the family room on this lower level serves as a fourth bedroom with a queen size bed and a set of twin bunk- beds for children under the age of 12. A large full-size bathroom with a tub and shower is at the end of the hallway. There is a large furnished "Secret Game Room" also on the lower level with a full-size pool table, ping-pong table, corn hole and other games!
Spring, Summer and Fall months are the best time to book your stay at Black Bear Hideaway! Lake Chatuge is only 1.9 miles down our mountain with a new Water Splash Park built right in the lake for the kids (and adults) to enjoy as well as many swimming and beach picnic areas all around the lake! Numerous water sport rental places are nearby for boating, kayaking, paddle boarding, canoeing, and jet skis! There are several beautiful wineries close by, breweries, State Parks, hiking trails, waterfalls, zip-lining, tubing, white water rafting, horseback riding, golf and even Spas to enjoy! During the Fall months you can experience the beautiful burst of colors of the fall leaves, visit the apple orchard farms, and enjoy the Fall Festivals at the nearby Georgia Fairgrounds!
The quaint little towns of Hayesville and Hiawassee are a 15 minute drive down the mountain. Both have an Ingles Grocery Store and a variety of nice restaurants and shops. Come visit Bald Mountain, State Parks, and fun little towns within driving distance! Plan a day trip to the little Bavarian Village of Helen-Georgia with a mountain coaster ride, shopping, zip lining, and gem mining! Or the charming downtown Blue Ridge area with Mercier Apple Orchards and Bear Claw Winery! Everyone loves to go to Highlands! It is just an hour drive with 5 beautiful waterfalls along the way! Lots of fun shops and restaurants! Walk around the gardens at Old Edwards Inn and have lunch at one of our favorites, the Ugly Dog Saloon!
No matter what time of the year you choose to vacation at "Black Bear Hideaway", we want you to feel like it is your home away from home! We feel so blessed to be able to share our vacation home with you! We guarantee a spectacular view of the vast mountain range and Lake Chatuge below!

Amazing vacation!!!
Our family had the best time at this house! The location on the mountain and the views were breathtaking! The house was so spacious and accommodating for our family. We loved the back decks and all of the seating areas to enjoy the outdoors. The boy’s absolutely loved the game room! The house had everything we needed and a great kitchen to cook in. It was also a perfect location to take fun day trips…near a lake, waterfalls, activities, local towns. Thank you, Colleen! We hope to return sometime soon!

Wonderful Hideaway
We loved our stay at the Black bear hideaway! Our vacation was better than we expected. Hats off to Colleen and Fred, they had everything we needed and more. The house and the views are magnificent. Great location up on the mountain but close enough to adventure out to the surrounding areas.

Truly amazing cabin
Beautiful home with a spectacular view of lake and mountains. We stayed for a month and Never ran out of the basics… paper towel, TP, shampoo, soap, washing detergent and all the cleaning supplies. We have never stayed in a rental that had so much available. The kitchen is stocked with all the basics plus lots of spices. The beds were very comfortable. We loved to sit and watch all the birds at the feeders…. Bird seed supplied! And deer too. Very quite neighborhood and close to Golf courses and pickleball courts in Hayesville. We were able to park our car in the garage. Looking forward to staying here again next year.

Great place to stay in Hayesville / Hiawassee
This is our 3rd time staying in this "cabin" and so that should tell you a lot. The cabin is clean, comfortable, roomy, quiet and well stocked. The owner is friendly, helpful and accessible via text or phone. The view of Lake Chatuge and the mountains is phenomenal. The hidden game room is a fun place to play billiards, ping pong, etc. Privacy is available since there are three floors with a deck on each floor. The decks on the first and second floors are enormous. What is there not to like about this place? Nothing - it is great!

Outstanding!!
If we could give 10 stars we would! My wife Deb and I have stayed at various VRBO homes and this one ranks right at the very top. Incredible views, impeccably clean, fully stocked with every need you can think of, and owners who obviously care not only about their home but their guests also. Don't look any further, this is the one! Dave and Deb

It's our favorite place to stay
The house, the view, and the owner make this our favorite rental. The house is clean, very comfortable and nicely laid out. There is plenty of room for multiple guests, with well-stocked kitchen and multiple, roomy decks. The view is delightful, looking over Chatuge Lake and the mountains. The owner is very responsive and texts or calls if help is needed. We will be going back again soon.

Mountains Galore
Our family of 3 brothers and the wives have started annual trips. This home is the most beautiful scenery we have seen. Four decks on the house looking at mountains, 5 star accommodations, terrific hosts!!love. Oh and don't forget the numerous birds and hummingbirds that showed up all day long. The house is so close to Hayesville, Murphy and Hiawassee.

Visiting the mountains…and grandma and grandpa
From check in, to check out, our stay was simply fabulous. Having never stayed on-top a mountain, we had to adjust to the driveway and incline, but we learned quickly. We had a brief struggle getting the temperature adjusted to suit the needs of all our guests staying with us, however Colleen was very responsive.

Favorite spot so far
Colleen was so welcoming, the whole whole house has such nice little touches to help make your stay enjoyable, even with a book of local spots to check out with stars on their favorites. Everyone in town is so friendly. And the view!!! I couldn't get away from that deck and the most spectacular view I've ever seen! It was the perfect spot for our wedding ceremony!! Thanks again Colleen, we can't wait to come back!!

Amazing stay
Everything about the property, Colleen and family reunion was truly amazing. Colleen was so very kind and prompt with communication! The view from the decks were absolutely gorgeous! The location of her home is central to several towns and to Georgia. My family and I did not want to leave and built precious memories together. The home was very clean. Colleen has made sure that the home is stocked with everything that you could possibly need from preparing meals to personal care. The home is decorated beautifully. My favorite view was looking out of the bathroom window and seeing the valley and lake. The view was amazing! I will definitely be returning in the future.

Amazing getaway
Our family stayed at Black Bear Hideaway for Labor Day weekend and had an amazing time. The views from all three decks were breathtaking. Each morning I enjoyed coffee on the patio and listened to the sounds of nature while I took in the spectacular view. Our son had a blast playing pool and ping pong in the hidden game room. The decor throughout the entire home was simply beautiful. Colleen was a terrific host and provided recommendations for fun activities in the surrounding area. We could not have asked for a better weekend getaway and cannot wait to return to this beautiful home.

Beautiful home with an incredible view!
This was my first time in this part of the country, and the house was amazing. Immaculately clean, in a beautiful and quiet neighborhood, and the views are just as incredible as advertised. Colleen was tremendously helpful both before and during our stay. There are some beautiful waterfalls around 45 minutes away, as well as river tubing, which was very relaxing. My only recommendation is to bring a four-wheel-drive vehicle if possible, since it can be helpful in getting to a couple of the trail heads. Definitely plan on staying here again!

Delightful home with wonderful view
This house was very nearly perfect, with very comfortable furniture, plentiful TVs, well-stocked kitchen, and large decks with mountain views and big sky. My husband enjoyed seeing the constellations, a passing satellite and the Milky Way. When the weather clears, you can see multiple levels of mountains - very impressive. As described in the property description, the smart TVs are set up for streaming and there is no cable connection. So bring your passwords for streaming or your app for connecting to your network provider. The house was clean. The owner initiated communication in a timely manner and responded to texts immediately. The decor was enjoyable to look at and admire. The hidden game room is fun with lots of furniture for an audience. In general, there is lots of room for a group to spread out. Overall a very positive experience, and we hope to be back soon.
