About this property

Modern Cottage on Lake Chatuge • Private Dock • Minutes to Hiawassee • Sleeps 8

Waterfront home on gorgeous Lake Chatuge!

Our 4 bedroom, 3 bath home offers plenty of space for gatherings of family and friends. With two bedrooms on the main level and two additional in the spacious walk out basement, the house sleeps up to 8 people. Fresh, modern decor, brand new furnishings (including Tuft & Needle mattresses) and a fully stocked kitchen are just a few of the amenities you will enjoy. The master bedroom overlooks the lake and features a king sized bed, luxurious bedding, a flat screen television and a private bathroom with walk in shower and freestanding tub. Bedrooms 2 & 3 feature queen sized beds and shared bathrooms, while lakeside bedroom 4 is home to two twin sized beds. All bedrooms are designed with maximum comfort in mind and feature 400 thread count sheets, down comforters and linen or organic duvets.

The vaulted main living area centers around a wood burning fireplace and is a perfect spot to get cozy with a book, cup of tea or loved one. Dawn and dusk are best enjoyed from the covered back deck, which overlooks the lake and is home to a gas grill for outdoor feasts. An open kitchen with huge island offers additional seating for dining and is an inviting space in which to cook, gather and relax. The spacious dining room is perfect for family style suppers and breakfasts and offers plenty of space to spread out and work - if you must - while you are here. The basement family room is where the indoor entertainment reigns... A large screen TV, ping pong table and spacious sectional sofa beckon leisure time after a day on the lake or exploring north Georgia; pull out a board game, borrow a book -- or sign in & enjoy your Netflix account - for a cozy evening in. Cable TV and WiFi are available throughout the home. Wake up to coffee on the back deck, and spend your days swimming, boating, kayaking or fishing on the lake, or reading in the hammock. And bring your marshmallows and enjoy cool evenings by the outdoor fire pit overlooking the lake!

Our home is located within minutes of Hiawassee, so groceries and gas are always close by. The small established neighborhood is quiet, and most of our neighbors are part-time residents, so if you are looking for peace and quiet, you have found it. Have a boat? Tie up to our private boat dock! No boat? Enjoy one of our kayaks or the Bellyak or just throw a line in the water from the swim deck. Boat rentals are available near by for the day and half-day - we encourage you to rent one and explore all the nooks and crannies of beautiful Lake Chatuge.

Miscellaneous details: Parking is provided for two to three cars. The home is fully heated & air conditioned and linens/towels are provided. There are fans in the main family rooms and the upstairs bedrooms for your comfort. For additional photos & information, please find us on Instagram @moderncottagelakechatuge.

About us: We are a family of four and are full time residents of Asheville, NC. We fell in love with Lake Chatuge over the course of several years of camping and vacation rental stays. We took the leap to create a property of our own in 2017 with the dream of building something beautiful, functional and comfortable for us to enjoy with our young daughters, extended family and friends now and for years to come. We are delighted to share it with you.

Hiawassee & N. Georgia:
This area of Georgia is known for its mountains and lakes. Opportunities to hike, fish, swim and mountain bike are abundant. The Appalachian Trail passes through Hiawassee, which is a quaint town with sweet local shops and restaurants. We love this area for it's scenic natural beauty, slower pace of life and multitude of outdoor opportunities. It's truly a wonderful place to get away from it all!

Beautiful home
Beautiful, comfortable home to spend a few days with our college-age kids on their fall break. It was a bit chilly out, so we didn’t really take advantage of the lake unfortunately. The house was very clean and all the beds were super comfy! We will definitely consider staying here again if we find ourselves in the area.

Girls Trip
We are a group of 7 retired ladies from Florida looking for an escape from the Florida’s summer heat. This beautiful home was the perfect base for our hikes, wine tastings, lake activities, board games, etc. Everyone in the group loved the house and its beautiful decor. We enjoyed the easy access to the lake via the home’s private dock. The dock also made a fun spot for the group’s morning Pilates workout.

Perfect family vacation
Our family can usually find something to complain about at any of the lake houses we stay at, but we are at a loss this time! This house was perfect for us! We had concerns about the dock being across the road, but we rarely saw a vehicle on it and it was a quick walk from the house. Even though there's no TV in the main living area, there is a speaker you can connect to to play your favorite playlists and we spent mornings singing along to songs while cooking breakfast and our evenings playing games. There is a tv downstairs with a big couch so you can still have family movie night. The dock is in a nice cove so you can swim and kayak right next to it, but also close to open lake for boating and tubing. All in all, this was one of our best vacating yet!

Super Lake Home
This is the second time we are here and just love the house and location. House has great amenities with lots of space for everyone to sleep and enjoy their stay. This home has a boat dock so we were able to rent a boat at Boundary Waters Marina and were able to bring the boat to the house. Quiet cove to hang out on the dock. We would rent here again!!

Perfect cottage lake house
This house and property were exactly as promised! Everything was so beautiful and well kept. We absolutely loved the back patio area and also the fire pit we used most nights. The dock was perfect for the boat we rented and Lake Chatuge is stunning! We will definitely be back to this wonderful modern cottage!

About the host

Hosted by Tanya Triber

Host profile image
We are a family of four and are full time residents of Asheville, NC. We fell in love with Lake Chatuge over the course of several years of camping and vacation rental stays. We purchased the lot on Schaefer Circle in the fall of 2017 with the dream of building something beautiful, functional and comfortable for us to enjoy with our young daughters, extended family and friends now and for years to come. We are delighted to share it with you.

Why they chose this property

We love the serene quietude of Lake Chatuge. We are mountain and lake people and feel more centered and happy surrounded by trees, mountains and natural beauty. The slower pace of life in Hiawassee and the natural beauty and abundant outdoor options of N. Georgia drew us to this area and have us coming back year after year.

What makes this property unique

This home was custom built by local builders, Brown Haven Homes, and as such we were able to pick the perfect floor plan, size and finishes to suit our taste and provide a timeless, beautiful space for ourselves and our guests. Charles is a real estate agent, and Tanya works in interior design and home furnishings, so homes and decor are woven into the fabric of our lives. This is the second custom home we have built together. Every aspect of this home was thought out for maximum comfort, enjoyment and relaxation at the lake. Our goal was to make it serene and lovely inside, durable and functional outside, and allow the gorgeous lake to steal the show. We plan to enjoy it for many years to come.
