About this property

'Eye Candy' Breathtaking Mountain and Lake Views! Hot Tub

Get ready to find your inner self and enjoy the peaceful tranquility that the North GA Mountains have to offer. Just come as you are and leave your stress behind for a couple of days or a couple of weeks.

Don’t be surprised when strangers wave and say hello, this is hard to find in today’s big cities, but that same easy going and wondrous lifestyle still exist in these mountains.

Be sure to check your old baggage at the Mountain’s footstep- pollution, traffic jams, loud planes, running late, confusion, crime, and stress; the bears, beavers, deer, eagles, wild turkeys and all the other wildlife want to keep it Simple, Clean, Fresh, and Peaceful.

We invite you and your family to our home, “Eye Candy” a.k.a. 'The Overlook' at Lake Chatuge; nestled in Ramey Mountain, high above the trees with Breathtaking Million Dollar Views Year Round!!! Just a few hundred feet from the protected United States National Forest, experience the Peace and Tranquility that the North Georgia Mountains have to offer.

Our guests can best describe 'The Overlook' at Lake Chatuge:

'A marvelous view, almost beyond words. You just have to see it. This mountain getaway has it all. It is quiet and relaxing, yet not too far from food and fun. Many excellent places to eat and shop nearby.'

'The atmosphere is charming and the home has all the necessary amenities. The wrap around deck is accessible from each bedroom. Take advantage of the grill on the deck or just spend some quiet time there. You must experience the hot tub at night and the sunrise in the morning. One of the better places we've stayed in some time.'

'What more can I say than AWESOME! This vacation rental is by far the best rental property I have stayed at in the North Georgia Mountains. The view of Lake Chatuge is breath-taking!'

'The rooms are spacious and the Great Room and all bedrooms have a wonderful view of the lake. This home away from home is warm, inviting, meticulously clean and decorated with a cozy mountain flair.'

'My family of 6 was more than comfortable with all the amenities provided. We only wish we could have stayed longer as the hot tub and spectacular view were delightful and so relaxing - the highlight of our trip! We cannot wait to go back and are planning our next visit this summer.'

'Very relaxing 3 days! I still can't get over the views. I could sit in that hot tub forever enjoying that scenery.'

'The split living plan was perfect for our peace of mind - kept the kids quietly separate. Place was spotless - and to answer an early question from you - I think all the kitchen provisions were perfect - nothing else I could think to add.'

'I liked the central location to all the surrounding attractions. The variety of quality restaurants up there is very good - I can't remember the name, but when you exit the community onto the main lakeside road, there is a great seafood place about 200 yards to the left on the lakefront, by the marina.'

'Good prices - GREAT Food! Can't wait to come back up this summer to do some boating!'

'Great place overall! Good luck with your new rental venture - I'm sure you won't have much problem keeping it filled up'

Perfect get a way with a view

The view of the lake and mountains from the porch is awesome. We loved staying at this house for a week. Hot tub on the deck was great after hiking all day. Had some great meals at the marina which was right across the street when we come down the mountain. So much stuff to do in the area.

Awesome View!

This house is situated in a quiet spot with a beautiful view of Lake Chatuge. The house is nice and clean(except the musty smell when it is closed up for a couple hours.) This is all about the views. The Hot tub was nice. Had everything we needed in the kitchen.

Great Place to Get Snowed In!

I brought my kids up for a forecasted snow weekend, & it was just what we wanted! We had plenty of snow, we enjoyed the hot tub and deep tub in the main bathroom, the WiFi was exceptional, and the beds were very comfortable. Just a note for those braving the winter weather - we did get snowed in, but only because the municipality didn't plow these specific roads. So just FYI to anyone who might wish to do the same. However, the owner was very communicative and helpful. Overall, I loved staying here and making these memories with my family!

Breathtaking views and great location

Eye candy is the perfect name for this cabin as the views were breathtaking and the cabin was cute and well furnished. We had a small hiccup with no soap or shampoo as the cleaner must have forgotten to restock, but Doug was quick to communicate. Highly recommend this cabin to anyone wanting a relaxing getaway! The location was also very convenient to several activities and grocery stores.

Simply Amazing!

Our family of 4 enjoyed every second at this mountai home. The home is clean and the views are so incredible. We enjoyed sitting in the hot tub each night taking it all in. The drive up the mountain is not bad at all either, our sedan handled it just fine. Lots of great parks and things to do near there as well. Highly recommend this home to anyone that is looking for a beautiful home in the mountains of Georgia!!

Weekend getaway

My boyfriend and I live in Atlanta and he's never been to GA mountains and decided we wanted to getaway for the weekend. My only requirement was that the view was breathtaking and there was a hot tube, Eye Candy exceeded both requirements. The house is a little outdated but the beds are comfortable and the view can't be beat. The fireplace didn't work though which was a little disappointing but we got over it. Would definitely stay here again for the view and hot tub!

Relaxing in the midst of Gods beautiful mountains

3rd time staying here. Spacious with bedrooms on opposite ends. Road is paved. Nice decor. Close to the lake. Wakie up to the mist on the mountain and then watching the at the end of the day see the sunset play shadows on the ridges. Owners are very nice. One of our fav VRBO rentals.

A night on mount Olympus

What a gorgeous view from the sunrise as it peaks over the mountain tops to reveal you r higher than the clouds that settle in the valley over the lake. To sitting in a clean hot tub that heats up nicely. Then of course the beautiful sunset while you barbeque. And have a glass of wine with plenty of room for friends

God's Beauty

This place definitely has the right name...Eye Candy! The views are absolutely breathtaking. The home was very clean and organized. I loved the labeling in the kitchen because I am a stickler for items to be returned to where they belong. My only suggestion would be more cookware as I love to cook. My family would love to return here and highly recommend staying at this beautiful home!

Stunning views and great hiking areas close by

The pictures for this one really do not do it justice! The views from the decks are absolutely stunning. We spent every morning and evening relaxing our sore hiking muscles in the fabulous hot tub. There is so much to do for nature lovers like us - waterfalls abound and really beautiful and fun drives! The only thing that needs improvement is the cookware and cooking utensils need replacing. Otherwise, everything was perfect for us. The property owner was really friendly and on the ball with instructions and communication. Highly recommend! We will be back!

Breathtaking Views Close to It All

This property isn't far from the main highway and is in a mountain community, but it has amazing views of the surrounding mountains and Lake Chatuge and nearby houses are so well placed that you really don't notice they are there. The house has a nice layout with access to the wraparound deck from the living room and every bedroom The hot tub is in a great spot on the deck for amazing views in every direction. The host is very familiar with the area and shares his knowledge freely prior to your arrival. We had a wonderful long weekend in the area thanks to the host and this perfectly placed house. We look forward to coming back soon.

Beautiful view!

The property's online description was accurate and the view was breathtaking! There are sliding doors from every room to access the deck.There were plenty of towels and the necessities to cook a meal. The hot tub was amazing! I would like to lovingly say that the main bedroom mattress was too hard for us (to each his own preference) and we ended up sleeping in the other two beds which were very comfortable. If I had been there longer, I would have gifted the owner's a memory foam mattress topper for the main bedroom. We loved the cabin that much! ❤️ We would definitely go back. It was our first trip to stay in Hiawassee

Words cannot describe!

Well, how nice can a vacation home be? As I said, I feel words do not come close to descibe this home. The location, the view, the furnishings, the nature, the peace, the cleanlines, and on and on and on.... We loved this home in every way possible. Even though most all the reviews say the same thing, Still this home was well above our expectations. Trust me, it really is that "over the top". The owners, Doug & Beckie went well out of the way to make sure everything was up their expectations, This was unexpected as I tend to have high expectations about the "Best Bang for the Buck". We will return, even though this is many mile from our home in PA.

The Great Get Away

We have stayed in many cabins in the North Georgia mountains, but none had the view that “Eye Candy” had. We also had snow which was a great plus! The weather was extremely cold, so we just decided to stay at the cabin our entire trip and enjoyed the majestic view of the snowcapped mountains! It was absolutely breathtaking! The cabin has a pretty unique layout and was in clean condition. The kitchen was well stocked with the basics, except a crockpot would be a great addition to the cookware. Enjoyed the gas logs in the main area. There was a good supply of nice, fluffy towels for use in updated shower. Doug, the owner, was extremely informative and helpful to provide tips that would make our trip as pleasurable as possible. If you wish to go to the mountains to stay in a cabin with gorgeous views, this is the place to go!

About the host

Hosted by Doug

Host profile image
I am a Georgia native, lived most of my life just North of Atlanta, enjoying the simple life, hate complexity and drama, so the mountains is where I want to spend my time relaxing. My wife is from Southern California she appreciates all the greenery that the North GA area has to offer.

Why they chose this property

Our Family visited the area for the first time in 2004. It was love at first sight, when we found this unique property, with a select few trees removed, this opened up incredible breathtaking views. The people were so friendly and air is so fresh, we knew right then this would be our final destination, where we would love to spend our vacations for years to come, and create many positive memories for our Family. I can't wait until the we can move up to the mountains and make our vacation home our permanent home.

What makes this property unique

There is something about waking up every morning and admiring the breathtaking landscape, year-round lake and long-range mountain views. The fresh air and the serenity of what nature has to offer. We love the wraparound deck that has great views from every spot. Our hot tub is so relaxing and also has million-dollar views day or night. Nights on the deck with the lights off is a lot of fun, gazing at the stars on a clear night. Sometimes we have to pinch ourselves just to make sure we are not dreaming!
