About this property

Happy Top Hideaway with Gorgeous Views!

Hiawassee’s remarkable mountains and unabashed beauty welcome all outdoor enthusiasts at this 3-bedroom, 3-bath vacation rental cabin. With 2,000 square feet of living space, three spacious decks, mountain and lake views, and room for up to 6 guests, this home is truly a mountain paradise. Enjoy a day at Lake Chatuge, hike the Appalachian Mountains, or swim underneath gorgeous waterfalls. If the outdoor adventures have worn you out, head back home to enjoy the fire pit on the luxurious back porch or enjoy an afternoon grilling out on the master BBQ grill!
Bedroom 1: King Bed | Bedroom 2: Queen Bed | Bedroom 3: Queen Bed
Enjoy the serenity and seclusion of this rustic mountain cabin, set amidst mountain views and forested surroundings. As soon as you step inside, unpack and make yourself right at home amidst the vaulted ceilings, hardwood floors, and rustic decor.
If you can’t keep your eyes off the mountains, the best view is on the back deck. On those warm summer days, you’ll love grilling up a barbecue feast for your loved ones before dining under the stars.
When the weather isn’t fairing, you’ll have everything you need amidst the cabin’s 2,000 square feet of living space. Curl up in the front of one of the 2 fireplaces with a new book or watch a favorite movie on one of the flat-screen satellite TVs.
Whenever hungers strikes, whip up a quick snack or a hearty meal in the fully equipped kitchen. While you’ll want to enjoy most of your meals out on the deck, you’ll also find a small 2-person table and 6-person dining table right off the kitchen.
Come nighttime, settle into one of 3 well-appointed bedrooms. When you wake up ready to seize the day, step back onto the deck to sip a morning coffee as the sunrise paints the mountains in golden hues.

Great rustic decor through out.

This is a beautiful home! Decorated very tastefully throughout. Very private basement area. Not the best set up for small children or elderly. Stairs are steep. No yard space to play. There is a good bit of road noise when sitting on porch but the lake view is very relaxing! Overall a great place!!

Excellent location and beautiful cabin

Lovely view of the lake but the highway noise is really loud, making outdoor time very limited. The cabin was perfect for our needs, although had I known that only 1 bedroom was on the main level and the other 2 required stairs, I might have passed. Some of our elderly friends had a very hard time navigating this many stairs. We loved that it was so close to town, accessible to everything we wanted. Decorated and maintained beautifully. I would not hesitate to rent this again with my family. If you have a group of seniors who have difficulty with stairs, then this may not be the place for you but it is perfect for younger couples, families, and other groups without mobility issues. The downstairs was like having another home altogether with a dining and living room in addition to the bedroom and bath- what a wonderful bonus!
