About this cottage rental
Feel unplugged and remote at the Santeetlah Bear Den Cottage. It is a uniquely designed cottage situated at the end of a dirt road. The cottage backs up to 100s of acres of US Forrest Service property. You will be surrounded by trees and have a private dock a walk down the hill and then down the steps. There is not a view of lake from house.
During your days enjoy morning coffee or afternoon refreshments on the deck situated in the woods just above the dock. Go hiking right out the front door deep into the woods. Kayak, canoe, fish, swim, and enjoy the Lake all day long. Read and relax on the upstairs balcony or in the very private backyard. Enjoy grilling and eating outside on the backyard picnic table.
Endless adventures are close by: Visit Joyce Kilmer Memorial Forest and bring your mountain bike to tackle the Tsali mountain bike trails. Rent or bring your boat and ski and tube on the Lake. Visit the Nantahala Outdoor Center and zip line thru the woods or raft down the river. Shop, eat and listen at Stecoah Valley Center. If you are a motor cycle rider, you will be close the Tail of the Dragon and the Cherohala Skyway. Endless adventures of all sorts are available in Graham County.
During your evenings keep warm by the wood stove in the cozy living room. Listen to crickets, tree frogs, and other nocturnal creatures from the private upstairs balcony. Enjoy dusk watching the starlings flying overhead from dock side. Roast up a s’mores feast around the back yard fire-pit while telling stories and rehashing your day’s adventures. Wind down from the day’s activities watching a movie and then sleep soundly on brand new bedding in beautifully decorated bedrooms.
We hope you choose to stay at the Santeetlah Bear Den and enjoy the cottage and location as much as we do.

Our stay at the Bear Den cabin is always peaceful. It’s a great place to stay, relax, get away from the outside world, and to be on the water. Would highly recommend!

Had an amazing time. The cabin is well equipped and owner was very responsive. We loved kayaking all day on the lake and sitting around the camp fire at night. We highly would recommend Bear’s den for a family get away.
