Fab mountain lake house w/dock, kayaks, fish & stunning views! No Helena Damage!

Considering Mountains? Lake? Why choose??!

THE HAYESVILLE AREA WAS SPARED, NO HURRICANE HELENE STORM DAMAGE OR FLOODING - RESTAURANTS, SHOPS, LAKE OPEN, NO DAMAGE TO HOME

Come relax and unwind and take in some of the most stunning and peaceful views in the entire area. Lakefront Haven is a beautiful ranch with a basement, with gorgeous mountain views w/private dock and great fishing on Lake Chatuge! Known for striped bass!

21-mile view to Brasstown Bald (highest point in GA) on wraparound screen porch. Lakefront Haven has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms w/ 2 levels of entertaining space, wet bar, 2 wine frigs, fire pit & pool table, grills. Telecommuters welcome - we have HIGH SPEED INTERNET! Gas fireplace in living room w/streaming SMART TV and our digital collection of 200+ movies. Two luxurious adjustable king bedrooms on the main floor each with smart TV and desk. Swim/boat/fish on Lake Chatuge, then BBQ and watch the sunset by the firepit. Compare s'mores recipes. 2 kayaks & 2 stand up paddleboards for year-round fun!

There’s grass under this area of the lake, so it’s great for fishing because they like to hide in there (striped bass.) Lots of fishermen frequent in this cove when it is tournament time. When the lake is low (colder months), it’s still pretty, all nice and green and the dock is on a tributary that feeds right into the lake, so there is some moving water year round. From fish to geese and deer, rain and snow there is always something to see. We are literally nestled in the mountains.

From April - August bring your boat! From September -April the lake may be too low for boat at ramp, however we have a long driveway and we are right around the corner from double boat ramps at Ledford Chapel, ramps at Jackrabbit Mountain Recreation Area, and Chatuge Dam so there are many easy nearby lake entry points. Kayaks and SUPs are included with the house and they are great year round! We have life jackets in a variety of sizes. We also have some fishing gear so you can try to get some of those striped bass.

We send you a personal code so you can check in on your own. We leave you alone to enjoy and make those memories. We’re always available by phone, text or messaging.

Our dock is SECOND one down from the house. Please raise the dock ladder before you leave the dock each day.

We love the #lakelife around here as well as the majestic mountains. The north side of the lake has stunning long range mountain views. This home is convenient to many things yet surrounded by the Nantahala National Forest and the Tusquittee valley. So much to do and see right in town. Downtown Hayesville is simply charming with walkability to several shops and dining establishments. Explore the square, take a yoga class, have an espresso or sample wines at Laughing Waters, try a new microbrew at Nocturnal Brewery, have a five star meal at the Copper Door, get a gourmet cookie from the bakery, shop at Tiger's general store or get ice cream at Chinquapins. Pick up tickets at a show at the Peacock. This town is simply lovely.

Hiawassee, Ga. and Murphy, NC are both right around the corner and there are free concerts at the John C. Campbell Folk School in Brasstown, NC in the summers.

We have a handy Welcome Guidebook in the house full of dining options, things to do - shopping, horseback riding, hiking, mountain biking and waterfall trails... Wineries with live music events and tastings. Fantastic spa close by. And a short 25 min drive to Helen for tubing or zip lining, wine and craft brew tastings, local stables, or Murphy, NC for Harrah's casino.

If you don't have a boat, there are several excellent boat rental places in the area! We use Lake Chatuge Marine, Young Harris Water Sports, Boundary Waters... They will set you up, rent by the day or week! They have all kinds of water toys too like jet skis - park the boat at our private dock during your stay when the lake is up (May - August.)

Hike or drive to the apex of Bell Mountain, which overlooks the lake below and provides picturesque mountain views. Go out the main road to the right and you will find the Shooting Creek Overlook which is breathtaking. Visit Brasstown Bald, the highest point in Georgia. Jackrabbit Mountain, Chatuge Dam, Clay County park and beach, Trailheads of the Appalachian Trail, which spans from Georgia to Maine, are less than 10 miles from this home.

You get to enjoy the whole property.

Upstairs has a master king size adjustable twin/twin bed so each side can be set to your personal preference. The master has an ensuite bathroom with standing shower. The second upstairs bedroom is an adjustable King Serta. Second upstairs bath has a luxurious deep soaking tub. Downstairs has 3rd bedroom with 5 twins and a double bed - a twin over twin bunk with trundle, a daybed and a stand alone twin, next to the 3rd bathroom. Washer and dryer are in the garage.

Well equipped kitchen with Keurig and drip combo coffee maker, and all cooking essentials including air fryer, InstaPot, toaster and blender. Two charcoal grills are located in the backyard fenced in area, out the garage door to the backyard on left, and we have serving platters to accommodate a nice Thanksgiving meal or family BBQ.

No 4-wheel Drive needed!

Nearest Commercial Airport: Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (~approximately 110 miles away)

Fabulous Lake Cottage
The cottage was exactly as described. Great location. Clean. Well stocked. Everything you could need in the kitchen is provided. If you have a favorite pan or knife bring it along. Morning coffee on the screened porch. Afternoons on the lake or nearby golf courses. Evenings playing games, or pool, enjoying movies and the fire pit. The cottage layout was great for our group of 5 adults. Kids would definitely enjoy the basement. Remote work was a breeze. Wish we had time for the kayaks and paddle boards. We will definitely be returning.

Fun at Lake Chatuge
We have stayed in a lot of VRBO's and this would be at the top of the list. Our group consisted of 2 grandparents, 2 parents and 3 fifteen year old boys. We all enjoyed ourselves and I think the boys and the Daddy had the most fun. Kayaks and paddle boards were a big hit. We rented a pontoon for a day and pulled them on a giant tube. They loved it. When in the house they played lots of card games well into the night. The sleeping accomodations were great. Fun was had by all and we hope to come back again. Nana and Mom really enjoyed floating in the water and soaking up the sun. Papa and Dad also went fishing and took the boys too. We had a glorious sunny week after weeks of rain and cool. We welcomed summer on the lake.

JUST BEAUTIFUL!!!
We had everything we needed to enjoy a week long vacation on Lake Chatuge. The house was just perfect for our Teen boys to hangout, play pool, fish off the dock, kayak, paddle board, we did everything!! We even enjoyed sitting around the fire pit at night. We used our boat club membership from Florida to get a boat and we had a boat. The dock was perfect for us to load and unload the boat. The grocery store is just a short distance away. The beds were super super comfortable!!! The host provides everything and anything that you could possibly wish for in a home while you are away from home!! Plenty of charging stations! Something, the kids always forget to bring. Just awesome can’t wait to go back!!

Had a great time at the house, perfect for our visit from CA with local family. The house had everything we needed, it was cozy, yet big enough for all of us. Mornings and evenings were wonderful on the balcony and the pool table was perfect for times we had rain. I would definitely stay here again.

Enjoyed our Thanksgiving Week with Beautiful Mountains and Water Views!
Overall worked perfectly for our stay. Since it was off season we did not have the pleasure of enjoying the lake but we came for relaxation so it worked out well. We saw deer out by the water a few times during our stay. Located in a quiet area. Dollar General is literally in both directions and Ingles is right down the road. Easy trip into GA as well. Kitchen could use more lighting and upstairs guest bath only has a tub. Neither of those things would prevent me from staying here again. Great communication with owners. Our faves: Rib Country, Underground Coffee (Hayesville); (Young Harris) Mary's Southern Grill and Heavenly Bake Shop; (Hiawassee) Sundance Grill

Spent a little less than a week in this great house by lake Chatuge. They had kayaks and fishing gear and enough space for everyone. We had a great time at the Fair and an even better time just hanging out with each other. Thanks for giving us a home away from home to do that in!

We stayed last year and it was so fun and relaxing we came back!! Feels so much like home! Love the area, short drives to all the “touristy” places, yet wonderfully peaceful with our coffee on the porch watching the bunnies 😊. This house is permanently tagged on my favorites 😁.

Perfect Lake
The home was so cozy and comfortable. The boat dock was perfect for our pontoon rental and for just swimming and floating. Having kayaks and paddle boards available allowed everyone to have something to do! I loved sitting on the screen porch and watch the rabbits and ducks roam around. We are already thinking about coming back next year!!

Quietly beautiful property
This property was exactly how it was listed…but better! The view was so beautiful and the entire property was incredibly peaceful. There was plenty of space for our group and the kids loved the pool table and kayaks (yes they took them in the water even though it was 40 degrees!). The beds were SO COMFORTABLE as were the couches. The wrap around porch was so cute and the walking path to the water was a nice after dinner activity. Highly recommend this property! We have family in the area and will definitely be renting again!
