The only problem we encountered while at this home was with the electronic front door lock, which MOL did not work multiple times we tried to enter the house. The Owner quickly told us how to retrieve the manual key from the lockbox provided next to the front door and all was well for the rest of our 8 day trip. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend this home to anyone caring to stay here without hesitation to anyone considering Hiawassee as their destination!

Great Experience!!!

The property was very clean and very comfortable. The view was awesome. The weather was not the best so we had to stay inside the whole trip but it was so nice and comfortable. The one thing that I would recommend would be to have more towels and wash cloths and toilet tissue. We had to purchase theses

Great value!

As advertised, great location close to everything in quiet neighborhood. Kitchen was well stocked. Plenty of seating in living room. Beds were comfortable. Only negative-no cleaning supplies, which was relevant for long stays like ours. Would definitely return and recommend.

great location, great hosts

If there could be a six star rating for responsive hosts, I would give it. The young couple who own this property are just wonderful with getting back to you if you have a concern/problem while staying there. The house is in a great location with all modern appliances, furniture etc. And it was fabulous for our dog who loved the big yard. You won't be disappointed if you book this home and stay in Hiawassee.

Our new favorite vacation home

This was the perfect Thanksgiving vacation spot for our family! It was a beautiful home close to Lake Chatuge & close to stores, restaurants & -finally-a home as advertised! I’m disabled & this home is on1level with a gorgeous handicap accessible huge shower! Elegantly furnished with very comfortable rooms/beds. The kitchen is gorgeous & had everything we needed to cook the Thanksgiving fixings we got at Ingles! The huge lake is beautiful and the Ga, Tn, Nc mountains are close by! Owners are very responsive! We are already planning our next visit on spring break! Thank you, Kevin & Evelyn for sharing your vacation home!

Clean home was easy to live in. Very good floor plan. Excellent location that was very close to shopping and restaurants. We brought our small dog and a big bonus was that the neighborhood is very walkable, no big hills or blind turns.

House was clean and in an excellent location for going all over North Georgia and parts of North Carolina. Traveled to several waterfalls and to Fields of Wood just outside of Murphy, NC.Does need a little bush trimming and trees trimmed to see the lake view better.
