"Knockin' On Heaven's Door" in Hiawassee

Perched high on a hillside, with endless mountaintop views, you’ll wonder if you’ve climbed a stairway to Heaven or has Heaven come down to meet you.  Perhaps the answer, my friend, is blowin’ in the wind.  Located just 10 minutes from town, the lavishly appointed, cedar sided, lodge style home is convenient to shopping, dining, churches, medical facilities and entertainment, but if it’s privacy you seek, you’ll be on your own like a rolling stone. 

It’s the perfect place to experience cool autumn nights, crisp sunny days and all the splendor of fall colors. You’ll enjoy brisk evenings out on the covered porch, sipping a warm beverage, snuggled up in comfy rockers by the huge outdoor wood-burning fireplace, where you’ll be making precious memories to last a lifetime.  It’s hurricane season in the south anyway, so don’t be a sad-eyed lady of the lowlands, come on up and let us give you shelter from the storm.

This luxurious 4 bedroom, 2½ bath home comfortably sleeps up to 10 with a King sized master suite on the main level as well as a smaller bedroom with a twin bed and full bath.  The great room has cathedral ceilings with paladian windows to enjoy the view and an inviting seating area centered around a massive stone gas log fireplace, flanked by a 42” flat screen HD/TV.  The dining area with antique farm table seats eight and the enviable, fully equipped kitchen is offset by a large stone island which seats another 2 or 3 guests.  Upstairs, there’s an open loft area with game table, seating and plenty of games, perfect for rainy day people of all ages.  Down the hall is another Queen sized bedroom, full bath and a huge “Bunk room” with two traditional bunk beds and a Queen sized bed as well.  This bedroom sleeps up to 6 comfortably.

Professionally decorated and embellished throughout with tasteful rustic antiques, folk art, furnishings and memorabilia, you’ll find the home lacking nothing in comfort and convenience.  All too soon, however, you’ll have to hit that endless highway and be on the road again, but don’t think twice; it’s alright – we’ll be happy to welcome you back.    

Within a relatively short driving distance you'll find all kinds of activities and attractions with something for everyone.  There are wonderful hiking trails, including the famous Appalachian Trail, and at least 5 waterfalls that are well worth going out of your way to see.  There's Horseback Riding at the new Brasstown Stables, Fishing, White Water Rafting, "Grubbing for Gems" & Panning for Gold in nearby Dahlonega, and if you have little ones, be sure to visit the Birthplace of the Cabbage Patch Dolls, just outside of Cleveland.  Of course you wouldn't want to miss a visit to the Alpine village of Helen, just 25 minutes away, where "Octoberfest" will be in full swing this time of year.  There are street performers, dancing, fun and activities for the whole family, along with an interesting array of little shops and great restaurants.  Go tubing on the river that goes right through the heart of town or take a ride in one of the horse drawn carriages for a truly unique tour of the village. 

Just 10 minutes from pristine Lake Chatuge, it's just a short drive to either of 3 local marinas where you can rent boats, canoes, kayaks, Pontoons or jet skis for a day of fun on the water.  Families with small children will love the little white sandy beach area with playground, tennis courts, boat launch and picnic area.  And of course, there's the Georgia Mountain Fall Festival at the fairgrounds, located just minutes from town and your cabin.  Check out their website to see which of your favorite performers will be appearing in concert while you're here as well.  With so much to do, you'll run out of vacation before you run out of things to do!
