Adventure awaits! Western NC and North GA abound with opportunities for recreation and relaxation. Set your sights on long-range views with visits to Bell Mountain in Hiawassee (20-minute drive) and Brasstown Bald (highest point in GA, 35-minute drive). Spend the day on Lake Chatuge with a boat or personal watercraft rental from a local marina or launch your own from nearby public access. Want to immerse yourself in nature in the Nantahala National Forest? Bring your mountain bikes and ride the first-class trails at Jackrabbit Mountain (also great for hiking and dog-friendly) less than 5 minutes from the property. Fires Creek Recreation Area (25-minute drive) is another Western NC local favorite for hiking with picturesque views, swimming, and trout fishing. On the GA side, take a 30-minute drive to a waterfall hike via the High Shoals Falls Trail or make the 45-minute drive to Alpine Helen, GA for a taste of Bavaria in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Hungry and thirsty after a day of exploration? Visit the outstanding local restaurants, wineries, and breweries in and around downtown Hayesville and Hiawassee for not-to-be-missed tastes of local flavor.

We love the #lakelife around here as well as the majestic mountains. So much to do and see right in town. We have a handy Welcome Book in the house full of dining options, Things to Do, Shopping, Hiking and Waterfall Trails. Wineries with live events and tastings are plentiful! And just a short 25 min drive to Helen for tubing or zip lining.

There are several excellent boat rental places in the area! We use Lake Chatuge Marine, Young Harris Water Sports, Boundary Waters... The fellas will help you out! All kinds of water toys too like jet skis, standup paddle boards and kayaks.

Hike or drive to the apex of Bell Mountain, which overlooks Lake Chatuge below and provides picturesque mountain views. Shooting Creek Overlook is breathtaking. Visit Brasstown Bald, the highest point in Georgia. Jackrabbit Mountain and Chatuge Dam. Both Towns County (Hiawassee GA) and Clay County (Hayesville NC) have super parks and beaches. Trailheads of the Appalachian Trail, which spans from Georgia to Maine, are less than 10 miles from this home.

Relaxing family time
Really enjoyed this home and the town of Hiawassee. Very relaxing and peaceful. Would definitely stay here again. Convenient to town and other points of interest. Would love to see some more attention paid to outside maintenance and lighting especially if I were planning to stay in warmer weather. Overall a good experience.

Leaf peeping family reunion
Great property with plenty of room for our 9 family members. We enjoyed the woods, water and fellowship. We were able to rent a boat at the local marina. What a beautiful lake with mountains all around! Extremely convenient to town.

Excellent Vacation Destination
This property met and exceeded our expectations! There is plenty of room for the whole family. Having a kitchen on both the first and second floor made it so nice to vacation with extended family. The dock, kayaks, paddle boards, and fire pit made for great memories. The very best part of our experience had to be our host, Priscilla. She was prompt to respond to questions and concerns. She also went WAY above and beyond on the day that AC stopped running due to a clogged drain line. She came over right away and determined the problem while speaking to the AC repairman by phone. Next, she actually climbed into the scorching attic and proceeded to make a temporary fix until the AC repairman could get there the next morning. To say we were pleased with her efforts to ensure our comfort would be an understatement!

Beautiful and cozy
We throughly enjoyed this house. We come up every summer and bring our jet skis and sometimes the boat. We brought both and had the best time out on the water. The house was very roomy and had all the items needed for cooking, even the marshmallow holders for the fire pit. There were more then enough blankets and pillows and plenty of space for everyone to hang out together. I would stay again for sure!
