Mix Appalachian history with modern convenience, and what do you get? You get a charming cottage with two open, airy decks that nearly double your living space. Both are roofed and screened for carefree entertaining. The interior has been tastefully updated while preserving the original wood floors and echoing the character of a gentler, more peaceful time.

Next you'll admire the updated kitchen and large living area with its big picture windows. It's just a short stroll to the clubhouse, pool, tennis courts and Bear Paw marina, as well as the public boat launch below the Apalachia Lake Dam, which is just across the road from the Bear Paw entrance.
