GA on our mind

The house was perfect for our families. In laws, children and grandchild spent some quality time together. We did the local adventures during the day and hung out at the house in the evenings. Bon fire and hot tub were an excellent way to spend quality time together. There was a great view of the lake from the wrap around porch. Each floor offered bedrooms and bathrooms and there were lounging options as well. Great time was spent enjoying our stay at Dragonfly.

Large Comfortable House

Private, beautiful home with a fantastic view - and I believe the best sunset! Open communication with owners. Close to everything in Hiawassee. Very comfortable furniture/beds with endless hot water! A lot of space (in door and out) for everyone to be together or a quite place to be alone too. Lots of extras supplied (appreciated the make up wipes and blow dryers). Our 3 families enjoyed our stay.

Beautiful Home

Honestly, we wish that we had more time to spend at the house. It is beautiful, comfortable, tastefully decorated and with a beautiful view. I don't think that I have ever experienced a better stocked kitchen in a short term rental!! There is lots of room to spread out with rooms spread across three floors.

The house was beautiful, plenty of room for all 10 of us to spread out. Conveniently located within all of the things we got to do during the day and enjoyed that porch at night!

About the host

Hosted by Missy Bowers

Missy and Dave love to travel and explore new places. Hiking and kayaking are what we enjoy most. We recently deciding to share our home with others and are striving to create an incredible, fun space for families and friends to gather.

Why they chose this property

We feel the views at DragonFly Hideaway are the best in the region and you don't have to have 4 wheel drive to get to our home! You can watch the mountains for hours as they change with the clouds and the weather. Close to the AT and other great hiking spots or a quick drive to many fun places to explore.

What makes this property unique

We have stocked Dragonfly with multiple games, cards, puzzles and a guitar. If someone in your group knows how to play, you can have sing alongs around the fire pit or deck.
We have extended the corner railing on the deck and provided bar stools to maximize the view for happy hour!
Each floor has its own bath and we have maximized the number of beds! 1 King, 2 Queens, 2 Full, 2 Twins (trundle), a Futon, and 2 Air Mattresses!
