This large family home is a hidden gem in the southern Blue Ridge Mountains with mountain views to the north and west above the lake. Nestled on the western shore of Chattooga Lake, this quaint home is a private compound for your family retreat or getaway with a group of small families or friends! This 6-bedroom, 3-bath house in a private, gated community, has a living room, family room, fully-equipped large kitchen, a long deck overlooking the lake with several small seating areas, and a sprawling screened porch large enough for everyone to sit down for meals or to enjoy your downtime after hiking, fishing, or playing in the pristine lake. Three bedrooms are upstairs and three are downstairs, making it convenient to have the adults upstairs and the kids downstairs or for one or two families to inhabit each floor.

The home easily sleeps 16 people; 14 in beds and two on a sofa sleeper with a 4-inch memory foam mattress (new in April 2019 and rarely used). We provide many items for your stay, including plenty of bath towels, sheets, lake/beach towels, propane for the grill, flashlights, kayaks, three standup paddleboards, numerous lake floats, and five 2-person hammocks. Also provided are typical baking essentials, many common spices, basic kitchen condiments, and all of the ingredients needed to make s'mores.

Enjoy the new two-story dock with a jumping platform on the upper level for the adventuresome. There's plenty of space to sit and relax on the dock in the sun or shade and watch or join in water activities. Come sit by the fire, roast marshmallows and gaze at the stars after an enjoyable day on the lake! Chattooga Lake is home to an abundant number of birds, ducks, bass, and carp fish. No fishing license is required since we are a private lake.

Enjoy plenty of local hiking right out the front door. Isaqueena Falls and the Stumphouse Tunnel are only 7.4 miles down the mountain It's just a short drive to numerous other hiking areas and waterfalls. Day trips to Highlands, NC, or even rafting on the Chattooga River await you! Come enjoy all that the lower Blue Ridge Mountains have to offer in this mountain home on a private lake that is definitely a break from city life. The nearest grocery store is about 25 minutes away, so come prepared with a day or two of food, because the isolation of our home in the mountains is what we think makes it such a wonderful vacation getaway! We look forward to welcoming you to your home away from home!
