Growing up in a quiet mountain rural town in Pennsylvania with one traffic light, I moved to Atlanta twenty years ago. Needless to say, I missed the mountains. They kept calling and we found Lake Chatuge and Hiawassee. Every time I make the drive from Atlanta, I feel a calmness set in as I get closer to the lake. It's a magical place where I love to spend time with family and friends. Whether it's drinking a cup of coffee early morning sitting by the lake, boating, or hiking one of the many mountain trails in the area, Hiawassee is an amazing place to unwind and soak in life.

We love this property for several reasons. Sitting on a gently sloped double lot on a point at the south side of the lake with incredible mountain views, it's easy to come and go to the lake without climbing a bunch of stairs. It was built in 1984 with lots of thought put into the floorplan with each of the four bedrooms having its own bathroom, which is ideal when sharing with guests. We've made some updates since the 80s, but we tried to do it in a way to keep its original charm. Even on rainy days, our kids never get bored since the house is stocked with boardgames, books, and a large basement recently converted to a game room.
