Lake Chatuge beauty w/private dock, fire pit, pool table, grills and A+ views!

Mountains or lake? Why choose — Lake Chatuge has it all!!

Come relax and unwind with some of the most stunning, peaceful views in the area. Lakefront Haven is a beautiful ranch with a basement, with a double-level rocking-chair porch, and a private dock on Lake Chatuge. From the porch, take in direct views of beautiful Lake Chatuge, plus long-range mountain views of the Blue Ridge Mountains, including Brasstown Bald, the highest point in Georgia.

Remote workers welcome - we have HIGH SPEED INTERNET!

The home
3 bedrooms · 3 bathrooms · sleeps 10 · with two levels of entertaining space. Pets welcome with a fee.

Upstairs, two luxurious adjustable king bedrooms — the master is a split king, so each side adjusts to your own preference — each bedroom upstairs has a smart TV and a desk. The master has an ensuite bathroom with a standing shower and a private balcony. The second upstairs hall bath has a deep soaking tub. Downstairs, the third bedroom has a double bed, two twin beds, and a twin trundle, plus a full bathroom. A standard size washer and dryer are in the garage, two charcoal grills are out back in the fenced in back yard. We have a paved flat driveway. The whole property is yours to enjoy.

Indoor living
Gas fireplace in the upstairs living room with a streaming smart TV, three recliners and a sofa. Downstairs has a second living room area with sleeper sofa, smart TV, wet bar with two wine fridges (one dual-temperature), pool table. We have a very well-equipped kitchen with a Keurig + drip coffee maker, air fryer, large Instant Pot, toaster, blender, and all the cooking essentials, plus serving platters and casserole dishes for a family barbecue or special Holiday meal.

Outdoor living & the lake
Swim, boat, and fish on Lake Chatuge (known for striped bass) then barbecue and watch the sunset by the fire pit — we have some suggested creative s'mores recipes. Two charcoal grills sit in the fenced backyard, and the yard is made for evenings outside.

The dock is the second one down from the house — a wooden pier with an aluminum arch leading to a square dock. We have kayaks and paddleboards for use with your rental, as well as a few inflatables and pool noodles. If you visit during the summer months, please raise the dock ladder before you leave the dock each day.

The fishing here is special: there's grass under the water in this cove, and striped bass love to hide in it — fishermen flock here during tournaments.

From fish to geese and deer, rain and snow, there's always something to see. We're nestled in the mountains on the lake, on the north side with stunning long-range mountain views, surrounded by the Nantahala National Forest and the Tusquittee Valley. No better place to come outside and "touch grass."

A note on lake levels: from April through August, please feel free to bring your boat — the water is up and you can park it at our private dock. From September through April, the TVA lowers lake levels and the lake is too low for boats at the dock, but the view stays stunning and green, and our dock sits on a tributary with moving water. Kayaks and paddleboards are great year round and can be launched from the shore.

If you bring a boat, you can launch at the double boat ramps at Ledford Chapel, Jackrabbit Mountain Recreation Area, or Chatuge Dam. We have also had guests store their boat at the local dealership. No boat? Boundary Waters rents by the day or week — boats, jet skis, and water toys included - and they have boats that matches the cleats on our dock. Tell them you are at Lakefront Haven.

Included with your stay
Use of house and yard, 2 kayaks · 2 stand-up paddleboards · life jackets in a variety of sizes · some fishing gear, so you can try for those striped bass. Fun games like cornhole and life size Jenga, and a variety of board and card games downstairs.

Property had everything we needed. The furniture was comfortable (including the beds), everything was well stocked and the porch with all the rocking chairs was the best. Very well cared for property in the middle of nature but close enough to dining and shopping. Lake was wonderful with lots to do.

The location and view was truly wonderful. The lake view with the mountains in the background was gorgeous! We loved spending time on the porch and around the fire pit admiring it. The dock access and paddle boards were so much fun for our teenagers, as well as the downstairs den room. Easy location to get around to all the different areas of interest, including waterfalls, vineyards, and marinas. The fact that we were able to bring our dog along was icing on the cake.

We loved it here!! Beautiful rental! Beautiful View! Scriptures and God winks all throughout the house was such a neat thing! While staying in this home we did so many things close by. We zip lined an hour away! My step-Father, husband, 6 year old son, and myself enjoyed that sooo much! We fished on the lake and caught some nice ones! We took our 6 year old son to ride his electric bike at a track up the road with beautiful Mountain Views. We did pottery in town! We went for a day in Helen and got yummy treats from a bakery and blown glass trinkets to bring home! It was fun for everyone! Great restaurants all around! We give it 5 stars!! The house was a perfect spot for all of our adventures and a cozy home to spend with your family!

Fabulous Lake Cottage

The cottage was exactly as described. Great location. Clean. Well stocked. Everything you could need in the kitchen is provided. If you have a favorite pan or knife bring it along. Morning coffee on the screened porch. Afternoons on the lake or nearby golf courses. Evenings playing games, or pool, enjoying movies and the fire pit. The cottage layout was great for our group of 5 adults. Kids would definitely enjoy the basement. Remote work was a breeze. Wish we had time for the kayaks and paddle boards. We will definitely be returning.

Enjoyed our Thanksgiving Week with Beautiful Mountains and Water Views!

Overall worked perfectly for our stay. Since it was off season we did not have the pleasure of enjoying the lake but we came for relaxation so it worked out well. We saw deer out by the water a few times during our stay. Located in a quiet area. Dollar General is literally in both directions and Ingles is right down the road. Easy trip into GA as well. Kitchen could use more lighting and upstairs guest bath only has a tub. Neither of those things would prevent me from staying here again. Great communication with owners. Our faves: Rib Country, Underground Coffee (Hayesville); (Young Harris) Mary's Southern Grill and Heavenly Bake Shop; (Hiawassee) Sundance Grill
