Hiawassee House | The best of Lake Chatuge - Stunning lake & mountain views!

3 Bedroom House in Hiawassee

Waterside Cottage is your next perfect vacation getaway. Not a cabin, not a castle...a lakeside cottage, light and clean with all the comforts of home.
Waterside Cottage offers lovely views of the mountains and Lake Chatuge. There are plenty of outdoor spaces to enjoy the amazing scenery with a private upstairs balcony, rocking chairs on your front porch, and picnic tables on the front lawn.
The home is close to town, quaint shops, restaurants and vineyards and is the perfect retreat for small families, seniors, and couples. Sorry, we do not accept requests from parties or groups.
We are pet friendly with a two dog maximum. We require a $150 dog fee for your fur baby to accompany you. If you are bringing a dog, please be sure to select the pet indicator when you submit your booking request. You must notify in advance of your stay to bring a dog.
Surrounded by the lake and mountains, this home faces Lake Chatuge.
Lake Chatuge has something for everyone to enjoy and is a perfect lake for swimming, boating, fishing and water sports.
Located in Hiawassee, GA, you’re close to hiking trails, waterfalls, antique malls, boutiques, golf, and fine and casual dining. We are also very close to three marinas.
Waterside Cottage is walking distance to downtown Hiawassee and in a lakeside neighborhood with no steep mountain roads. Access to the home is via a paved, level road with gentle terrain. It is not remote and there are neighbors close by. It is approximately one mile to HWY 76, a main road that takes you to the entire surrounding area.
Watch the sunset over the lake and roast marshmallows around the firepit while the kids catch fireflies. Enjoy the picturesque views from the front porch and balcony or take a relaxing dip in hot tub. For laid back nights, have a night in watching Netflix from your comfortable living room with a bowl of popcorn!
Waterside Cottage offers the use of our Boat Shed which contains 4 kayaks, and bicycles for added family fun.
There is a preserve area across the quiet road with a grassy path access to the lake. The water front is a gradual slope where you can wade out or drop in kayaks, paddle boards, etc. Lake Chatuge, like all lakes in this area, are generally muddy bottoms with red GA clay. The front porch or lakefront is the perfect place to watch the the boats go by, enjoy a good book or relax in the sun. There is a public lake swimming beach with splash pad, playground and pickle ball courts about a 5 min drive from this home.
Please note: There is not a boat dock available with this rental.
The master bedroom is upstairs with a king sized bed, TV, and a spacious balcony with great views. Also upstairs is the guest bedroom with two twin beds and trundles underneath.
There is one bathroom upstairs, with double sinks, a tub/shower and commode.
Downstairs there is a second master bedroom with a queen bed and new 32” smart TV.
There is one bathroom downstairs with a tub/shower combo. All mattresses were replaced in late 2023.
The kitchen is fully equipped for cooking with pots/pans, dishware, utensils, Keurig single serve coffee maker as well as standard coffee pot.
Nearby towns include Clayton, Helen, Blue Ridge, Hayesville, and Franklin and are about a 30 minute drive. Take a trip over the great smoky mountains and visit Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, Asheville or Chattanooga, all about a 2 1/2 hour drive away. There is a new casino in Murphy, NC also nearby.
Walk or bike to town (or take the 3 min drive), where you will find a wonderful grocery store, fine restaurants and fast food along with upscale shops and old fashioned general stores.
Waterside Cottage is a 5 minute drive away from the Georgia Mountain fairgrounds and Music Hall where there are festivals and concerts all year long.
You can catch a movie, play golf or visit the spa at Brasstown Valley Resort.
In Blue Ridge you can ride the train though the mountains, or head to the Bavarian town of Helen where you can tube down the river or enjoy the longest Oktoberfest in the US. You can also Visit Brasstown Bald, Georgia's highest mountain where the views will take your breath away. Hike the Appalachian trail - there is an entrance just a few miles away.
Waterside Cottage: not an isolated cabin in the woods, but a lakeside retreat close to town and all that it offers.

Summary: Our family had an amazing time at this house. The host was very responsive and accommodating. The view of the lake is amazing at sunset and the easy access to it made daily water activities a must. Definitely make use of those kayaks! The home was well cared for and very cozy. We found that we needed to grab things like hand soap and TP at the grocery store, but that was no biggie. Would absolutely stay here again.
