About this property

7 Min To Lake! DON'T MISS THIS INCREDIBLE HOME THIS FALL!!

THIS IS NOT YOUR AVERAGE CABIN!!! Perched high on a hillside, with endless mountaintop views, you’ll wonder if you’ve climbed a stairway to Heaven or has Heaven come down to meet you. Perhaps the answer, my friend, is blowin’ in the wind. Located just 10 minutes from town, the lavishly appointed, cedar sided, lodge style home is convenient to shopping, dining, churches, medical facilities and entertainment, but if it’s privacy you seek, you’ll be on your own like a rolling stone. It’s the perfect place to experience cool autumn nights, crisp sunny days and all the splendor of fall colors. You’ll enjoy brisk evenings out on the covered porch, sipping a warm beverage, snuggled up in comfy rockers by the huge outdoor wood-burning fireplace, where you’ll be making precious memories to last a lifetime. It’s hurricane season in the south anyway, so don’t be a sad-eyed lady of the lowlands, come on up and let us give you shelter from the storm. A Family Friendly Floor Plan!: This luxury 7 bedroom, 3 ½ bath home comfortably sleeps up to 16 with a King Sized Master Suite on the main level as well as a smaller bedroom with a full bed and full bath. ***N0TE***Area over Garage, door connects to the loft area, with 3 separate bedrooms and bath. All bedrooms are very spacious with ample closets and a view from every room. Beds are very comfortable. Huge master bath with jacuzzi tub and walk-in shower. Travertine tile. 2 Separate vanities for guests. Full bath upstairs with tub and shower. The great room has cathedral ceilings with windows all around to enjoy the view and an inviting seating area centered around a massive stone gas log fireplace, flanked by a 65" flat screen HD/TV. The dining area with antique farm table seats eight and the enviable, fully equipped kitchen is offset by a large stone island which seats another 2 or 3 guests. Upstairs, there’s an open loft area with game table, seating and plenty of games, perfect for rainy day people of all ages. Down the hall is another Queen sized bedroom, full bath and a huge “Bunk room” with two traditional bunk beds and a Queen sized bed as well. This bedroom sleeps up to 6 comfortably. Kick Back & Relax or Get Out & Have Some Fun!: Professionally decorated and embellished throughout with tasteful rustic antiques, folk art, furnishings and memorabilia, you’ll find the home lacking nothing in comfort and convenience. All too soon, however, you’ll have to hit that endless highway and be on the road again, but don’t think twice; it’s alright – we’ll be here for you when you return, so never say goodbye. Just 10 minutes from pristine Lake Chatuge, it's just a short drive to either of 3 local marinas where you can rent boats, canoes, kayaks, Pontoons or jet skis for a day of fun on the water. Families with small children will love the little white sandy beach area with playground, tennis courts, boat launch and picnic area. And of course, there's the Georgia Mountain Fall Festival at the fairgrounds, located just minutes from town and your cabin. Check out their website to see which of your favorite performers will be appearing in concert while you're here as well. Places To Go - Things To See & Lots To Do!: Within a relatively short driving distance you'll find all kinds of activities and attractions with something for everyone. There are hiking trails and at least 5 waterfalls that are well worth going out of your way to see. There's Horseback Riding at the new Brasstown Stables, Fishing, White Water Rafting, 'Grubbing for Gems' & Panning for Gold in nearby Dahlonega, and if you have little ones, be sure to visit the Birthplace of the Cabbage Patch Dolls, just outside of Cleveland. Of course you wouldn't want to miss a visit to the Alpine village of Helen, just 25 minutes away, where you can find something for everyone. There are street performers, dancing, fun and activities for the whole family, along with an interesting array of little shops and great restaurants. Go tubing on the river that goes right through the heart of town or take a ride in the tram for a truly unique tour of the village.

This property would be great for any small or large family. Checking in was very easy. The kitchen was spacious with all small and large appliances as well as many pots, pans, mixing/serving bowls and utensils. We had lots of room and seating options inside and on the deck. The mountain view was great and we spent much time on the deck. We were all very comfortable and will be happy to stay at this property again.

Family Getaway

The house held our 12 easily for sleeping/eating/cooking. There were different areas for games and visiting to spread out or the large common area to visit together. The views and activities in the Hiawasse/Helen area were great. Go see Blue Hole. Golf at Brasstown Valley.

Golf Trip

This property was just as advertised. We had 16 guys who came from various parts of the US to play golf in the mountains. 10 stayed at this house and six at another. There was plenty of room for all 10 of us. The views from this house are spectacular. All in all we had a great time the house was very comfortable and we would stay there again.

Great Family Vacation

This cabin was amazing and perfect for our group of 13. There was plenty of room for everyone and not once did we feel crowded. The owner was great and even reached out during our stay to let us know of a storm shelter nearby as we experienced some rough weather during our stay. I would highly recommend this property.

Church group stay

The view was absolutely amazing. The house accommodated what we needed. The house was labeled everywhere which was a little overwhelming. We were afraid to even use the towels after we showered. And the listing said there is a hot tub which is one of the biggest reasons we rented this house BUT there was no hot tub. And the jetted tub in the master didn’t work. The size of some of the rooms were slightly smaller than what they seemed in the pictures. And in order to get to the back bedrooms, you had to walk through another bedroom which was not private and could be uncomfortable for adults sleeping there. The kitchen was very nice and the huge pantry was needed for our large group! The location is great and again the view is one of the bests!We would stay here again if we were staying in the area!

Gorgeous fuse from this cabin. Steep driveways but if you can get over that it's worth it. Sitting out on the porch and the outside fireplace gathered with family was an excellent getaway.

About the host

Hosted by Carolyn Jordan Insley

Host profile image
We are a couple that loves traveling ourselves. We think Hiawassee is probably on of the best values left in having a vacation of this quality. I grew up in this town and went to school here.
I took the beauty for granted until I moved to the city later in life. We are local business owners and have antiques & jewelry and gift shops inside Hiawassee Antique Mall and
most people in these shops will know us. We are there a lot of the time working on our space.

Why they chose this property

This is the most private property you could find. No houses around usk. We have rented this property for 11 years. It is an exceptional property to
be on the rental program. There are so many details in this property you do not find in other rentals. To rent here is an experience, just a few days away.

What makes this property unique

The mountains are so close to you, they are in your face and surround you with their beauty.
Our porch, oh my our porch! The huge wood burning fireplace and the huge covered porch are unsurpassed. To be out there perched on a mountain top in nature while being with your family or friends is an amazing experience.
