Cozy Retreat Cottage by the Creek

We've enjoyed Hightower Cottage numerous times because of its peaceful setting. The house is very comfortable and we love the front and back porch to relax and listen to the creek. The house is beautifully decorated and reasonably priced. This will be our regular place to stay in the north GA mountains.

The Best Around

Hightower Haven and Lisa are the Best! It's like a VRBO commercial, when we stay there, it's like our home. We are so comfortable there. Beside a creek, nature, inside decor, outside wonderful flora and fauna! Love the design of the garden outside. Could not ask for a more accommodating venue or hosts! The best!

Romantic Mountain Getaway

This cottage is adorable and so clean. A peaceful, relaxing haven for sure! So comfy inside with a cozy electric fireplace. Very enjoyable just sitting outside on the front or back porch, with the creek running along the back and the firepit. Even had skewers for roasting marshmallows & outdoor games (played cornhole)! Great location too! We will definitely stay there again!

Perfect romantic getaway!!

We spent our anniversary weekend at Hightower Haven. We really enjoyed our stay here, it was extremely clean and felt like home. The gift basket with a personalized anniversary card was super cute and made my day!! The only complaint we have is that we didn’t have more time to stay and enjoy everything this super cute cottage has to offer! We will definitely be back when can stay longer and take advantage of this wonderful cottage, location, hosts, and amazing views!!!!!

Hikers love soft beds, hot showers and clean laundry. This place delivers all…

This is a cute and cozy cottage, tucked away on a quiet country lane. We had such a relaxing time and the property exceeded our needs in every way. We were in the area to complete the Georgia section of the Appalachian trail and our final day of hiking ended just a couple miles up the road. The shower had great pressure and plenty of hot water. Bed were super comfy and the laundry room was perfect. So happy to have found such a nice place to stay and would recommend to fellow hikers as well as anyone looking for a peaceful place to stay in Hiawassee.

About the host

Hosted by Lisa Garrett

Host profile image
I grew up on Upper Hightower, so it has always been home to me. When we had first dibs on buying this little house, I jumped on the chance to own a little piece of Hightower again. Family and neighbors are still close by so I still feel like I'm home each time I go to what we now call, The Cottage~Hightower Haven
Randy and I did all the work ourselves and keep adding to the outdoors to make it more special with all our guest in mind

Why they chose this property

The cottage has recently been completely remodeled, we think you will enjoy the way it is decorated inside and out. You can sit on the porch, sit at the outdoor table or fire pit and listen to the small creek that runs beside the house. We think you will enjoy the way it's nestled in the valley with mountains surrounding it. We really want it to be a little haven for all our guest to enjoy.
