The house was wonderful, we had a tremendous time and can't wait to go back. The only problem was that our stay was too short to really enjoy all the amenities as well as the beautiful surrounding areas.
The overall experience of our stay was awesome! Everyone enjoyed the property from the lake to the hot tub to the projector. Well stocked, it had everything we needed for making great memories and great food!
My family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful vacation home! There was the perfect amount of space for everyone to spend time together. The pictures do not do this home justice!

Great stay!
Our group of 9 had a wonderful time at this home!! The spaces were big enough for everyone to enjoy time together, but also many options to break off into smaller groups or have some quiet time alone. The home is beautifully remodeled and had great amenities for us to enjoy! Would definitely book this home again!
Absolutely beautiful property with plenty of privacy. Family of 9 fit comfortably and house was clean with beautiful decor. 100% would recommend as we are planning to come back in summer.
The owner was great with communication. The house was clean and the beds were comfy. The outdoor projector was a nice addition. We had a great time and loved the house!
We loved this property from the moment that we walked in! Our favorite part was all the outdoor living space, which is primarily where we were the entire day. The home was so beautifully decorated and there was nothing that was missing for our stay! The furniture and beds were all so comfortable. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home with us, we can't wait to come back!
We visited here to celebrate a birthday. We had the best time. The house is beautiful and they have thought about everything. The kitchen is very well stocked and there so many areas of the house you won't feel cramped at all. Great time and highly recommend!
The host was very accommodating unfortunately the house had some plumbing issues which had to be addressed immediately which caused us to leave 1 day early.

Host thought of everything! Spacious home with many cozy spots to gather and have fun! Three large porches, family dinners, coffee by fire pit table, hot tub, movies, games. Lake access was perfect for swimming and ski boat dock. Rented ski/wake boat from Boundary Water nearby and had a blast with water sports!

Fantastic House
These owners paid attention to every detail: Yeti coolers available (very handy since we forgot ours); an ice machine for the perfect boating companion; a new boat slip; beautiful landscaping with eye catching lighting throughout the terraced yard; a large grill; a fire pit on the deck; remote controlled lighting on the screened in porch, where we spent the majority of our in-house time; and hotel quality beds and bedding.
Most of our time was spent out on the screened in porch playing games, relaxing, and eating. The home was beautiful and there was plenty of space for our family without getting in the way of each other. We would definitely come back again!
Our family gathered in for a graduation celebration. This fabulous home has every amenity. It is truly comfortable and cozy. We so enjoyed the hot tub, games, and terrific surrounding area. What a lake ! We hiked and went tubing. The screened in large living porch is such a treat. Early risers with a cup of coffee will enjoy the peace listening to all of the birds Thank you for sharing your home with us. The Oregon Jones’s

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in
Property was nicely landscaped although the driveway was extremely steep. The downstairs outdoor shower did not work. The hot tub was set to 104 which was too hot! House was very clean and came with all necessary amenities. The stairs to the lake were fairly hard and dangerous as well as getting on the dock. Overall we still enjoyed our stay and all the kids had a blast! The beds were comfortable!

We’re thrilled to hear that your family had a blast, found the home very clean, and enjoyed the comfortable beds and provided amenities! We appreciate your feedback regarding the outdoor shower and can confirm it has been fully repaired for future stays. Since our home is located in the North Georgia mountains, features like a steep driveway and stairs to the lake are common for lakefront properties in this terrain, and we display these throughout our listing photos so travelers can plan accordingly. Additionally, while the hot tub defaults to a standard maximum of 104 degrees, guests are always welcome to adjust the thermostat to their personal comfort level. Thank you for sharing your experience as we continue to maintain a wonderful stay for our guests.
Thank you, Michele, for your 5-star review! We are so happy you enjoyed your stay and found the home beautiful. We take great pride in creating a comfortable and welcoming getaway for our guests, and it means a lot to hear that you had a wonderful experience. We truly appreciate you choosing Wenzel’s Whimsical Cottage and hope to welcome you back again in the future!
The house and property were very clean and enjoyable to stay at for our nine adult family during the Thanksgiving holidays. We had family gather from across NC and stayed for three nights. The house has a lot of amenities to entertain everyone as we rented off season when the lake levels were low and it rained for two days. House has plenty of space to move around and parking was good for our adult family. You are close to town if you need to run to pick up something but you definitely feel you are away and can enjoy the scenic area of the mountains and lake area. We enjoyed getting away to see Helen Georgia one afternoon. Fenced in area was a plus for our dog. Everyone enjoyed the sunroom overlooking the lake, hot tub, fire pit and hanging out on the porches each night. Plenty of kitchen ware on hand. We fed 13 people (more family that came for the day) Thanksgiving dinner with ease..
We would recommend booking this property.

Lovely Home
We loved staying at this home while visiting Hiawassee for a family reunion. The accomodations were comfortable and clean. The decor was tasteful and interesting. Everything worked as it should. The screened porches about double the living space for this home. The driveway takes your breath away the first time up and down, but we were able to traverse it with a 15-passenger van; so I figure if we could make it up, anyone else should be able to also. Thank you for accomodating our family.
