Lake Toxaway House | The best of both worlds

1 Bedroom House in Lake Toxaway

The best of both worlds! Due to its unique location, FaBear’s Den has the feel of both a mountain treehouse lodge and a serene lake house, all in one. Perched perfectly above the shores of idyllic Lake Cardinal, a private feeder lake to Lake Toxaway, guests are invited to unwind in the five-star amenities found within this magnificently appointed home and its environs. The main floor boasts hardwood floors and beams rescued from a turn of the century Philadelphia barn, adding to the rustic yet elegant world that greets you when you enter the home. The supple main floor master suite is outfitted with a mix of modern and antique furniture, along with Ritz-Carlton styled bedding that allows for the perfect sleep. The suite’s uber-luxurious bathroom boasts a waterfall shower, soaking tub, and a “Juliet” porch, where one can truly dry off “au natural” in the privacy of the mountains. The main level is also home to a spacious lakeside porch, which allows for elevated views of glorious Lake Cardinal, along with lounge-style patio furniture and a built-in gas grill for those nights when guests want the feeling of dining al fresco. In addition, the main floor also has a side porch, which allows one to nap away the day to the whitewater sounds of the Toxaway River, which runs right along the side of the home, emptying into Lake Cardinal.
On the lower floor, the house is equipped with another two rustic, yet, luxuriously appointed bedrooms, along with a spacious reading-room, which has a “hidden” queen-size murphy bed for extra guests. Also on this level is a large game room dressed with a cloud-like couch (it’s literally called “the cloud”) that allows for guests to enjoy movie nights on the big screen TV or to cheer each other on while the family competes in games of ping-pong on the other side of the room. On the upper level, FaBear’s Den is home to another intoxicating master bedroom suite called “The Treehouse.” One step out onto the suite’s A-frame-lined porch, and visitors will be swept away by the views of Lake Cardinal and beyond. The porch also has a comfy hammock that allows visitors to laze about and fall truly under the tranquil spell of the sounds of nature. And when it’s time to wash up for the day, guests will be wowed by the bathroom, which is almost bigger than the bedroom. Marble vanity, waterfall shower, jetted spa tub, and those views of the lake, these are just a few of the amenities that away the discerning renter. Also on this level is another suite called “The Farm,” which is outfitted with a four-poster bed and its own charming bathroom, replete with claw-foot tub. Like all of the bedrooms in this house, the Farm is full of hidden surprises (look for the secret door), as well as a sundeck of its very own where guests can relax on chaise lounges while admiring the majestic granite rock faces of nearby Panthertown Mtn.
And while the interiors of FaBear’s Den truly delight the senses, more magic awaits when guests head down to the lake. Accessible by the main floor porch or by the lower level porch, visitors follow a surprising forest trail that leads down to Lake Cardinal. The trail is actually a path joined by a series of steps that briefly lead guests past age-old moss-covered boulders and lush pines. Please stop to take a mental picture (or a real one) of nature abound. As one reaches the bottom of the trail, the steps open up to a picturesque flag-stoned patio that serves as the berm to the dock and kayak launch, which are tucked in perfectly on the very best part of the lake. The house is outfitted with two kayaks, two SUPs, a canoe, and a “lilypad” for all of the lake fun you can muster. When guests aren’t on the water, they can often be found lounging on the Adirondack chairs that surround the patio’s fire pit, roasting marshmallows, or gazing up at the stars as the day gives way to night. And for those guests not up for the steps leading down to the lake. Optional access to the Lake Toxaway Country Club is available from April - November. *subject to application and usage fees*

Summary: Our group of 4 couples thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful lakefront property. All the bedrooms were lovely and had their own bathroom (a must). The beds were extemely comfortable. The views of lovely Lake Cardinal from all the various porches and balconies were stunning and created a peaceful experience for all. The leaves were at their peak ...so gorgeous. The lakefront patio was amazing and we all sat around the firepit each evening. ( A little bit of a hike to the lake but worth the effort) We used all the toys (2 SUP's, 2 Kayaks and 1 canoe) several of the days. Lake Cardinal is so peaceful snd quiet. The property feels secluded but also close to alot of places. We ate at Greystone Inn one night and Canyon Kitchen. We cooked at the house for 2 nights because we wanted to enjoy the property. Kitchen is well equipped and the dining table seats 8. Property management was very responsive. We would highly recommend this house and hope to return.

Summary: Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The home is beautiful. Great location on North End, a little drive from Club but not bad. There is nothing "wrong" with the property but would suggest a few upgrades. 1) Driveway (paver base did hold), 2) Kitchen Appliance upgrades - especially the cook top and dishwashers. 3) Well water smell in Master Bath upstairs.

Summary: Beautiful home, gorgeous finishes throughout and lovely lake view. Few maintenance issues (one dishwasher and gas fireplace weren’t working) but didn’t detract from our stay overall! Hope to come back.

Summary: Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a five star visit from June 6th thru the 30th. The property was far exceeded the web pictures. The three level home was set on a private lot ( no houses visable) with a much better lake view than expected. Home was very clean and very well appointed. So may decks and fireplaces with a very upscale kitchen. Coffee and evening drinks every day on front deck facing the lake. Used the lakefront boats most days and smores in the firepit was great.Everything needed was supplied! Took a day or so to figure out the TVS and a/c but all worked great. Rachel at the rental office was first class from booking to checkout - made everything so easy - really great. An the one or two very minor issues - fixed on a timely basis. A very special home and would love to come back again!
