Living The Dream lovely 5/4 with fireplace, dock, firepit with 9 rockers

LIVING THE DREAM –That’s life on Lake Chatuge in the North Georgia Mountains This wonderful home is back on the rental market after a remodeling of the kitchen, master bath, and other areas of the house. With a mixture of rustic and modern charm, this home features four bedrooms and three and a half baths. Inside amenities include a pool table, ping pong, foosball, high speed internet, fireplace, games, and books. There are five smart TVs…one in each of the upstairs bedrooms, one in the main living room, and one in the terrace level living area. TVs in both living areas have DVD players. Be sure to bring your favorite online streaming app, stick, or casting device. Feast your eyes on the gourmet kitchen equipped with an oversized island that seats eight. The dining table in the adjoining sunroom also seats eight. This kitchen is built for gathering with a six-burner gas stove, double oven, large farmhouse sink, and wet bar with beverage cooler. The pool table is just off the kitchen so it’s easy to sit at the island and watch the action. The main living room has a gas fireplace and furniture made to lounge in. Upstairs is the master bedroom with king bed, ensuite bathroom, and private balcony overlooking the lake. The second bedroom has a king bed and a private balcony overlooking the front yard. The third bedroom has a King bed and a comfy window seat. There is a shared hall bath. The terrace level of the house has a bunkroom with four XL twin bunks, a queen bedroom, and a living area, and a full bathroom. There is also a ping pong room and a foosball table. Outside amenities begin with the porch where you will find a large Webber grill and 2 tables which each seat six. Grab a rocker or lounge chair to hang out and breathe the fresh mountain air or supervise the kids while they play in the yard. The gently sloping yard leads to the owners’ “favorite room in the house”, the oversized fire pit with nine rockers. Anytime of the year, the fire pit is cozy and lends itself to conversation, a hot cup of coffee, the perfect cocktail, stargazing, or a delectable s’more. Continue to the sundeck and dock where you can jump right in or bring a fishing pole to while away the afternoon casting a line. There is ample parking for cars and trailers in the driveway for you and your guests. Although you will feel like you are far from civilization, the town of Hiawassee is less than one mile away. In town, you will find grocery shopping, Starbucks, and many quaint specialty shops and restaurants including a local coffee house and ice cream shop. If you’ve never been to this area, there’s something for everyone. Just a few of things to consider are: • 3 golf courses within a 30-minute drive. • If you like walking or hiking, you have plenty of choices. You can access the Appalachian Trail just outside of town. Other hiking opportunities include Jackrabbit Mountain Rec Area right up the road in North Carolina. The park offers trails for hiking and mountain biking. Another option is a stroll across the Chatuge Dam to enjoy the amazing scenery. Take time to visit Brasstown Bald Visitor Center to see if the day is clear enough to see the Atlanta skyline! Then drive up Bell Mountain (the mountain you can see from the front yard). It gives you a great view of some of the 132 miles of shoreline on Lake Chatuge. If waterfalls are your thing, they are all over the place in north Georgia. Plan to see several while you are here! • For something less strenuous, visit one of the local wineries. Both Crane Creek and Hightower Creek Vineyards are within 20 minutes of the house. Hiawassee Brewery downtown has a great view of the lake and a good selection of craft beers, food and games! Whether you spend time inside, outside, or exploring the area, this home is the perfect place to make memories with family and friends.

2025 Summer Vacation

Had a fantastic time! The house was beautiful and had literally every thing we needed. The kitchen was more stocked than any other VRBO we’ve stayed in, and was perfect with the wide open space and pool table right in the same big room. We rented a boat from Lake Chatuge Marina, and the boat fit perfectly on the floating dock, no problems whatsoever. The fire pit is as beautiful as the pictures show. We had one small glitch with the internet, but apparently a storm had knocked several other houses internet out as well, and the property management quickly had someone to the house to replace the bad modem and all was good in the WiFi world :-). The house is spacious and all in our party (8 of us total) said their respective beds were super comfy and slept great each night. The house is also super convenient to grocery, restaurants, local attractions, and obviously you can’t beat Lake Chatuge itself. We absolutely loved our stay and would highly recommend as a great choice!

Family vacation

We had a wonderful week at Living the Dream. The inside perfect for our family of 9. We were able to gather as a group or break off into smaller groups for catching up . The bunk room with the sunroom/porch was perfect for our 3 teens/tweens. The dock was a huge hit. We would definitely stay here again!

Things that that needs attention

There are an enormous amount of stairs at this house both insude and outside. There are 6 different levels on the inside of the house. Lots and lots of stairs. Not good for elderly people or folks with mobility challenges. There areits and lots of stairs outside and those stairs are not built to code , they are mildewy and slippery, and are not level. Outside stairs are a problem as well. The dock has no steps to get on it. That is a major hazard try to get on and off the dick from the yard. The outdoor fireplace area was a mess and the fire place tools were laying on the ground rusting. The exterior of the house including the hand rails was very dirty, with lots of visible mildew, cobwebs, leaves, mold, ex..The master shower pan did not drain and filled up with water immediately. One of the primary beds in its own bedroom was not make up at all and looked like someone had just slept in it. re are lots and lots

Mountain Lake Getaway

Location was great easy access to both Hayesville and Hiawassee. Scenic surrounds, wildlife and of course the lake was great to relax and enjoy nature, or sit around the fire pit with family and caught up while the kids chase lightning bugs. The house had plenty of space to sleep and entertain all generations with a massive kitchen island, pool table, ping pong, plenty of board games and much more!!! Internet WiFi worked great to stay connected if needed too.

Big house on the lake

Big house, lots of room to hang out. First impression, 3 bags of dog poop right in front of the garage door that had clearly been there a while. Not so nice neighbors… within 10 minutes of having our boat delivered to the said dock(which is half falling apart and the rental guy said it’s the worst one on the lake) the neighbors complained that it was in their way?? It was on the end of the dock? We were “watched” all week… didnt care! House def needs some TLC and cleaning up. Only half of the grill worked so that was challenging cooking on it. We washed all pots and pans and plates before using… Loved the fire pit and rocking chairs area. Great for s’mores! Need more bath towels and lake towels. Great location , nice restaurants around. Would I stay here again ? Yes and hope they clean it up a lot!

Very nice

My family enjoyed this home over Christmas. Although my wife was hoping to travel to the mountains from middle Georgia to see snow, the 75 degree weather suited me just fine. The home was comfortable with room for the nine of us. Greg was a pleasure to work with and we hope to return in the future.

Everything was good except there was no where to put the trash. They had one small can under the deck that was already full when we arrived. Other than that, it was fantastic.

Great house, great backyard, great location! We enjoyed our week stay with our 2 girls and 2 dogs! House had everything we needed and the back deck and backyard are incredible for enjoying the lake. We spent many afternoons floating on tubes off the dock and rented a boat for 3 days to explore the lake and enjoy some tubing. Highly recommend this property.

Second time staying here

This was our second time going to the living the dream home. And the second time was even better than the first. The location is amazing in Hiawassee close to town and grocery stores. Also extremely close to fun activities. Only 30 minutes from Helen and there is a great tubing Place only 15 minutes from the house in North Carolina. Greg the property manager also went above and beyond again. There was a small issue with our ladder at the pier but he was there right away to fix it so we could all go swimming. The water is crystal clear the kids were able to swim and fish all day. If you are considering staying here consider no more because this will be one of your best family vacations you will ever have.
