Husband and I, along with our furry friend, had a lovely stay. This was the 4th time we stayed in Bear Paw and we plan to come back again. Love the location with it being so close to Lake Lure and hiking at Chimney Rock. The home has always been very clean and well stocked with kitchen essentials---- which is important to us because I cook all our meals in the home. Looking forward to our next stay.

Entrance into the property was a little tricky. Roads not marked too well. Access and egress to the property was of some concern. Had to back out of the driveway into what could be neighbors coming from up the hill and not being able to see them in time. House was well equipped for visitors use.

This is our favorite area to visit. The Bear Paw home was a great place to stay! It was clean and in a great location. I would definitely recommend this house and Carolina Properties! We always rent from them and it has always been an excellent experience.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the cabin. Each day, we embarked on hikes to Chimney Rock. The vicinity of the cabin offers several appealing dining establishments, and the individuals we encountered were exceptionally hospitable. We also loved how the cabin was decorated for Christmas! Thank you!
