About this property

Enjoy Lakeside Living At Its Best On Lake Chatuge!

Come and enjoy both lakefront and mountain living at it's best! Stay a while with us at "The Roost" our luxurious lakeside view! This recently renovated and updated lakefront condominium is just perfect if you are seeking fun, relaxation and solitude.

Our 2 bedroom, 2 bath sits on the lake and sleeps 4. This unit is fully equipped with a full kitchen, linens, bedding, two flat screen TVs, washer/dryer, high speed Internet and central heat and air. Completely renovated from floor to ceiling in 2022. The kitchen has beautiful custom cabinetry and Corian countertops. Dark plank ceramic flooring throughout. The furnishings are earthy with a contemporary feel. The Master Bedroom is beautifully furnished with a view of the lake, queen bed, flat screen TV and ample closet space. The second bedroom has direct access to a spacious stone patio. Both baths have been newly renovated with walk in showers, marble floors and new vanities.

The Roost comes with two outdoor entertaining areas, a lakeside deck with seating and dining options, and a stone patio for grilling, lounging, reading or taking a late afternoon snooze. Walk down a few steps from the lakeside, a great place to take a swim (new swimming dock!) or enjoy the sun. After dinner watch the sun set while enjoying a drink on the deck. Then top off the evening with a nice drink beside the fire pit while you make s'mores.

Please note: the boat dock is for Condominium Owners ONLY. You cannot access the dock nor park your boat there. If you need docking for your boat, please contact us and we can make recommendations. Kayaks and Canoes are no issue.

Enjoy the swimming dock! No diving please, and no boat docking - ever!

Being centrally located only, we are only 10 minutes from downtown Hiawassee, 30 minutes from Murphy NC, 15 minutes or less from Blairsville GA; Helen and Blue Ridge GA are about 45 minutes away. Highlands NC and other quaint mountain towns await your exploration!

Amenities include: Internet, Air Conditioning, heater, Cable TV, Washer/Dryer, parking, No Smoking. Rent only to Adults. 3 Day Minimum stay

Cozy and Clean

"The Roost" is a hidden gem. It was clean and the furnishings were very cozy. It was perfect for my husband and I and our son. We had our own rooms and bathrooms. I would definitely recommend staying at this condo. The view is beautiful!!

Quiet and peaceful condo

Great condo with updated kitchen and baths. Had a little trouble finding the condo in the dark, so recommend getting there before dark if unfamiliar with area. Keep in mind you have steps to get to lower level if you have limitations.

Nicely renovated condo with lake view and access.

The two bedroom condo was perfect for my husband and me. Our adult son joined us for two nights. Kitchen was setup well for cooking if you prefer to eat in. Nice front porch with seating and view of the lake. We would definitely like to stay there again.

Mountain Getaway

We enjoyed our stay. The home was beautiful and very clean. We enjoyed going to Blue Ridge and Ellijay, but the fall leaves were much more vivid in Hiawassee. The sunrise was amazing over the mountains and lake. Everything was perfect for our little weekend getaway. We will be back.

Wonderful place to destress after Hurricane Ian...bed was very high in master bedroom.... 29 steps down to condo. But very clean and comfortable. Good location on the lake! Front and back porches were beautiful.

Peaceful retreat

I spent a few days here by myself and felt safe. The property is clean and the view of the lake is spectacular. I enjoyed coffee on the back porch watching sunrises and sunsets. Easy walk to the pier for kayaking. I hope to return in the future.

Perfect Work-Cation

Overall, this was a fantastic location and well equipped place. Traveling alone with family and friends visiting often, I was worried about being there alone. I always felt safe. I also want those that are choosing to work remotely, there was great internet service for live meetings. Dean was always in contact with me for any issues and resolved then with explanation. The Roost is in close proximity to town, waterfalls, trails and even a winery. Having brought a kayak, paddleboard and Bike, I was able to use both the paddleboard and kayak. However, The area was not the best for casual biking. I often took advantage of walking the neighborhood during my work breaks. I will definitely take advantage of a longer stay next summer to both work and play!! Elizabeth

Not mobility friendly

The condo itself was very nice! It was well equipped with anything you could possibly need or want during your stay. The view of the lake from both the living room and the master bedroom was beautiful. Everything was clean and well furnished. Check in and check out process was flawless, however… As a first time VRBO renter I failed to do my research (that’s on me). There were several flights of stairs down to the condo and more to access the swim platform down at the lake. Which made it very difficult to access the condo coming in and going out (with my arthritic knees and hips). The bed in the master bedroom also had a VERY high antique bed which required a stool to access it for both me and my husband.

About the host

Hosted by Dean

Host profile image
In the early 80's I worked for the SE Research Station for the US Forest Service. We did survey research on Lake Chatuge, and I've always loved that area.

After 12 years of working in Antarctica (McMurdo, Palmer, South Pole and circling the continent of Antarctica on the Nathanial B. Palmer Research Vessel/Ice Breaker). I gave it up and let someone else enjoy the adventure of it all.

Why they chose this property

When my bride said "I found a place on Lake Chatuge" my ears perked up immediately.

Lake Chatuge and Hiawassee GA are special place.

What makes this property unique

Quiet, solitude, lots of outdoor recreation opportunities too!
