Adventure awaits! Western NC and North GA abound with opportunities for recreation and relaxation. Set your sights on long-range views with visits to Bell Mountain in Hiawassee (20-minute drive) and Brasstown Bald (highest point in GA, 35-minute drive). Spend the day on Lake Chatuge with a boat or personal watercraft rental from a local marina or launch your own from nearby public access. Want to immerse yourself in nature in the Nantahala National Forest? Bring your mountain bikes and ride the first-class trails at Jackrabbit Mountain (also great for hiking and dog-friendly) less than 5 minutes from the property. Fires Creek Recreation Area (25-minute drive) is another Western NC local favorite for hiking with picturesque views, swimming, and trout fishing. On the GA side, take a 30-minute drive to a waterfall hike via the High Shoals Falls Trail or make the 45-minute drive to Alpine Helen, GA for a taste of Bavaria in the Blue Ridge Mountains. 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. Trailheads of the Appalachian Trail, which spans from Georgia to Maine, are less than 10 miles from this home.

Another great stay

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.

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.

Great property with plenty of room for our 9 family members. We enjoyed the woods, water and fellowship. We were able to rent a boat at the local marina. What a beautiful lake with mountains all around! Extremely convenient to town.

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.

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!!!

quiet retreat

My family enjoyed a pleasant week at this rental. The lake is beautiful and the kids utilized the Kayaks which they enjoyed. While the weather wasn't always cooperating, I enjoyed sitting on the covered porch viewing the lake and catching up on some much needed reading.

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.

Family Christmas in the mountains

This was a lovely decorated house with a spacious kitchen that allowed for a lot of cooking with the family of 7 for the holidays. The view of the lake and mountains was beautiful and relaxing. We enjoyed the location as we visited several small mountain towns including Helen, Haysville, Hiawassee, Blairsville and Blue Ridge during our stay. Highly recommend!

Great Lake Visit

What a hidden Gem. While it was a small walk down to the lake it was well worth it. We enjoyed the kayaks and paddle boards along with fishing off of the dock. Our kids really enjoyed swimming in the lake and fires at night. Couldn't have asked for a better location or accommodations. We will definitely be back
