5 Bedroom Cabin in Unaka, Murphy
Sweetwater Lodge, this amazing, custom-built, lake-front home, is located in Bear Paw, a gated community on Lake Hiwassee in western North Carolina. The lake is located just west of Murphy, and less than 30 minutes from either Georgia or Tennessee. It offers unparalleled privacy where family and friends can relax and enjoy swimming, boating, and other watersports on this hidden jewel of the Blue Ridge mountains. Sweetwater Lodge is the ideal place to disconnect from it all, but features Starlink Internet service and a Verizon cell booster if you need to stay connected.
Lovingly built with thoughtful attention to every detail, the home sleeps 15 and offers 5 bedrooms with 4.5 baths. The master suite is conveniently located on the main level and features a comfy king-sized bed and private bath with a walk-in shower. The main level also includes an expansive well-appointed gourmet kitchen that opens to a great room, designed for comfortable relaxation. It also features a soaring rock fireplace and breathtaking views of the lake and mountains.

On the terrace level, you'll find 2 additional bedrooms—one featuring a king-size bed and the other a kids' room with 2 bunk beds (4 total), plus one full bathroom. This lower level also boasts a game/movie room with a ping pong table, toys, games, puzzles, and movies for those times when the kids (or maybe even the adults) need some quiet time. There is also a second refrigerator/freezer with ice-maker located on this level.
Sweetwater Lodge has covered porches on three sides of the house but the expansive upstairs back porch off the great room and overlooking the lake and mountains is always the favorite gathering place for family and friends. It has ample comfortable seating featuring a large swinging bed that is the ultimate spot for an afternoon nap. There is a fireplace on this porch which makes enjoying coffee outside on brisk mornings or roasting marshmallows anytime a real treat.
The home also features a top-of-the-line, two-story doc, perfect for sunbathing, lounging, watching the family enjoy swimming in the lake, or just relaxing and soaking up the breathtaking views. On the dock you'll find two kayaks, and a spacious slip where you can bring your own boat (owned or rented) and tie up directly at the dock. The home is located just a three-minute ride from Mountainview Marina—the most spectacular marina in the region—which offers pontoon boat rentals.
The Bear Paw community features a central clubhouse with an Olympic-sized size swimming pool, tennis court, indoor pickleball/basketball court, and playground.

Harrah's Cherokee Valley River Casino is a fairly new addition to the area and is a short 40-minute drive away.
