Hungry and thirsty after a day of exploration? Visit the outstanding local restaurants, wineries, and breweries in and around downtown Hayesville and Hiawassee for not-to-be-missed tastes of local flavor.

We love the #lakelife around here as well as the majestic mountains. So much to do and see right in town. We have a handy Welcome Book in the house full of dining options, Things to Do, Shopping, Hiking and Waterfall Trails. Wineries with live events and tastings are plentiful! And just a short 25 min drive to Helen for tubing or zip lining.

There are several excellent boat rental places in the area! We use Lake Chatuge Marine, Young Harris Water Sports, Boundary Waters... The fellas will help you out! All kinds of water toys too like jet skis, standup paddle boards and kayaks.

Hike or drive to the apex of Bell Mountain, which overlooks Lake Chatuge below and provides picturesque mountain views. Shooting Creek Overlook is breathtaking. Visit Brasstown Bald, the highest point in Georgia. Jackrabbit Mountain and Chatuge Dam. Both Towns County (Hiawassee GA) and Clay County (Hayesville NC) have super parks and beaches.

Splendid!

What a lovely stay we had. It was just a long weekend, but this home was perfect for a quick family get-a-way. It’s in a fantastic location with convenient access to everything you need! The views are amazing. The property manager was an excellent communicator and very responsive. This home is tastefully decorated, well appointed with nice furnishings, well maintained and cared for…a definite “would absolutely stay here again”!!

Birthday getaway

This house was a nice central location for my siblings to celebrate my brother’s 70th birthday. We really enjoyed the lake access and dock. The kitchen was nicely set up for cooking which was important to us. The house was just a short drive from town but was very private and quiet.

Great location by grocery and marina. We were able to keep our boat rental overnight because of the dock that is in good condition. 3 bedrooms are large. Great to have 2 living room areas. No complaints.

This was our second stay at the property. We love the location and the view from the dock is amazing. The house is well stocked and has plenty of room for all. We rented a boat from Lake Chatuge Marina and had a blast tubing and exploring the lake.

Crouch/Hancher

We were a family group of 9. Age range 77 to 8 yrs. Everyone enjoyed the week. We were able to rent a boat for the younger kids to go tubing, and as it turned out, they had a hard time getting enough time on the tube as they were having to share with their parents. Lol. Lots of swimming off the dock and lots of early morning coffee on porch listening to the birds. Having the extra downstairs Living area and extra kitchen for the teenagers and younger kids was great. Overall, great trip. Wouldn’t hesitate to rent again.

Beautiful Lakehouse

We had a great time at the Crane Lakehouse. House is well kept and appointed, surrounded by trees, while having a good view of Lake Chatuge from the primary living area. We used the dock for a boat rental and enjoyed swimming from it and using the paddle boards stored at the house. Only criticism is the mattress in the master bedroom is very hard. With 3 bedrooms this was not an issue for us.

Amazing

This has to be the best house with the best owners. I have never been to that lake before and OMG is was amazing. Also the owners were absolutely amazing. I was up there with 3 teenagers and 2 other dads. They loaned us life jackets for the boat we rented, and also let us use their personal fishing net. Can’t wait to book this house again!!!

Relaxing family time

Really enjoyed this home and the town of Hiawassee. Very relaxing and peaceful. Would definitely stay here again. Convenient to town and other points of interest. Would love to see some more attention paid to outside maintenance and lighting especially if I were planning to stay in warmer weather. Overall a good experience.

Excellent Vacation Destination

This property met and exceeded our expectations! There is plenty of room for the whole family. Having a kitchen on both the first and second floor made it so nice to vacation with extended family. The dock, kayaks, paddle boards, and fire pit made for great memories. The very best part of our experience had to be our host, Priscilla. She was prompt to respond to questions and concerns. She also went WAY above and beyond on the day that AC stopped running due to a clogged drain line. She came over right away and determined the problem while speaking to the AC repairman by phone. Next, she actually climbed into the scorching attic and proceeded to make a temporary fix until the AC repairman could get there the next morning. To say we were pleased with her efforts to ensure our comfort would be an understatement!

Beautiful and cozy

We throughly enjoyed this house. We come up every summer and bring our jet skis and sometimes the boat. We brought both and had the best time out on the water. The house was very roomy and had all the items needed for cooking, even the marshmallow holders for the fire pit. There were more then enough blankets and pillows and plenty of space for everyone to hang out together. I would stay again for sure!

Perfect Celebration!

I treated myself and my family for two weeks to celebrate my 70th birthday. I could not have chosen a better property in which to do so. The amount of space, variety of activities, and just the beauty of the place could not have been any better! The icing on the cake was its proximity to Atlanta. This allowed everyone who needed to go home for a bit, to do so, and easily come right back. Priscilla helped us throughout our stay if we had any questions and could not have been any nicer. Can’t wait to return!

The lake is very peaceful. Owner was very good at communicating with us and friendly. The inside kitchen was beautiful. There were a lot of extras as far as kayaks and canoe and paddle boards and fire pit that were a lot of fun. The things that could be improved are a deep clean as far as inside cabinets and rugs. The toilets also kept plugging up. Had a great time!
