About the host
Hosted by Debbi Hammond
My husband and I live in Southwest Florida. We purchased our home in 2013. We first visited Bear Paw about 24 years ago when my husband's parents bought their home here. We immediately fell in love with Bear Paw and knew we also wanted to own a vacation/retirement home here. We love spending our vacations here with our children and grandchildren. We have made so many memories here and look forward to many more. We also are glad we can give our guest the opportunity to do the same.
Why they chose this property
Bear Paw is a very family oriented community with plenty of activities around. We love boating and water sports and the close and easy access to Lake Hiwassee. It is peaceful and quiet and everyone you meet is friendly. It is just a great community to be part of. We hope you enjoy it as much as we have and make tons of memories with your family and friends. We want to make it a place that you will want to return to year after year and recommend to your family and friends.
What makes this property unique
Our home is situated just across the street (about 100 yards) from the pavilion, clubhouse, pool, tennis court, playground and catch and release fishpond. Just a short walk down the driveway and you are there.
