About this property

SPRING IS WONDERFUL IN THE MOUNTAINS DON'T MISS THIS INCREDIBLE HOME!

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.

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.

Breathtaking Stay

This property is amazing! We are a group of six couples who love to travel together so this house was perfect for us and there was plenty of room for everyone!! The pictures do it no justice! This home is beautiful and the view from the massive porch was absolutely breathtaking!! We spent every night around the fireplace, laughing talking and having a great time! The kitchen was stocked so well with EVERYTHING you will need to cook for a group! This home is perfect for large families or groups! The owner was very responsive and made sure we had everything we needed for a perfect couples trip! The owner left no detail out when trying to create a wonderful cabin experience!

Beautiful Comfy & Large Home

First, communication with the owner was easy and open - she was very responsive and helpful. The home itself is large, comfortable, and even better in person. The photos don't do it justice! The surrounding view is absolutely picturesque and serene. I hope other guests will be responsible pet owners and clean up after their dogs, as we collected a large amount of waste left in the yard by previous guests when we first arrived. (That is a reflection of irresponsible pet parents, though, and not of the home owner.) Clear instructions and reminders are posted in the house, and we felt completely at home for our post-Christmas weekend. We had 7 adults and 2 children and never felt cramped or crowded. Would definitely stay again!

Christmas/New Years

House was very nice and accommodated all 15 of us well. This was our family Christmas gathering and it was very nice that the house was still decorated for Christmas. Lots of dishes and appliances needed were provided. WiFi is a little spotty which made it difficult to get the code to check in and get the code to the house. Driveway is very steep. Price advertised is not for the number of people listing advertises it will sleep. Overall a very nice stay.

Great October weekend

This property was amazing. Lots of space, well furnished, nicely decorated. Loved the outdoor fireplace and deck. Only complaint is that Owner sent a rental agreement with special terms and conditions 5 days before arrival. Should have received this at initial rental or at least before the free cancellation date so there was an option to decline.

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.

FALL FAMILY ESCAPE

Our little family of 11 gathered for some much needed down time. The home was welcoming and room for us all! We love cooking so many meals were enjoyed. Nights on the porch were awesome. Helene the Hurricaine tried to dampen our spirits. However not a problem to be had. Thank you for such a wonderful space to enjoy family time!

Peaceful Stay

Wonderful space to relax and spend time with friends! We had most of what we needed to cook our meals in the expansive kitchen! Three of us worked comfortably to prepare our big meal. Comfy beds, good water pressure, incredible view! Our host was very responsive and helpful with any concerns or questions we had. The only suggestion for improvement I have is to secure the rug corners better. Several people tripped up on them in different rooms because the corners flip over very easily. Thank you for a great stay!

Big House for a Crowd

We enjoyed this property very much! It was very spacious and well-stocked for all our needs. Everyone in our party got their own room. There was also wonderful places for us to gather together and watch a movie or play games. It is conveniently located near Lake Chatuge, where we spent most of our time, as there’s plenty to do there. Our only disappointment was that I had told my teens that the place where we were staying had a pool table and a hot tub. The pool table was a miniature one, so my teens didn’t really play it. And the hot tub ended up being a misprint. The addition of those two things would’ve made it all the better, but we had a great time around Hiawasee. We hiked Anna Ruby Falls, and I highly recommend that. We also drove over to Helen and walked the Alpine Village. And we rented jet skis and had fun on the lake. It was a great trip!

Magnificent Mountain Retreat

This cabin was absolutely perfect. Spacious yet cozy with plenty of open common space and lots of rooms for private space. We traveled with 10 adults, 5 kids, and 1 dog and had plenty of room. The cabin was in a secluded location but still close to amenities, sites, and entertainment. The views from the massive porch were breathtaking. We had such a wonderful and relaxing time.

Family getaway

Our family of 6 adults and 5 children (14, 12, 10, 9, 4) loved the space and the beauty of the surroundings. The huge wrap around porch with plenty of seating for enjoying the view across the valley and the wood-burning fireplace on the porch was great for reading and cooking s'mores. The inside kitchen was roomy and well equipped to permit cooking for 11 with a huge pantry area for storage of coolers and boxes -- we nicknamed it the Narnia cupboard. Internet access was superb and allowed everyone to do things on their devices without issue. Within 30 minutes of multiple great attractions and 10 minutes to a full size supermarket. The host was very responsive and answered all question.

Reunion of old friends

Our group of 8 old friends held our annual reunion weekend at this property in March. It was a very pleasant stay, the highlight being sitting on the covered deck in front of the outdoor fireplace and taking in the excellent views. The furniture inside of the house was comfortable, and the interior was decorated in an interesting mountain theme manner with lots of antiques. The kitchen was spacious and well-equipped. Wi-fi worked well. Our cell phones worked OK after we connected them through the wi-fi. (Note, cell phone coverage is spotty in the whole area around Hiawassee.) In general, we liked the property, although we have a few suggestions for improvement: Some of the bedrooms lacked curtains or blinds. We could not find the major networks on the TV, it looked like there was no cable service, only a Samsung service and some streaming apps. Not a big deal to us, but maybe to others. (Consider posting a guide the TV services). The bedroom situation in the loft over the garage was a bit unusual, you had to go through the twin-beds bedroom to get to the other 2 queen bedrooms in the loft. The portable electric tower heater was not working. Some other reviews have commented on the steep driveway. Yes it's steep, but we found it to be no problem, even though it was raining when we first arrived. Just shift into low and put your foot down! All in all, we found it to be a nice property and we had a great weekend there.

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.
