The Perfect Setting For Your Get-Away!

Set in the scenic Blue Ridge Mountains, on the shores of the beautiful Lake Chatuge, you'll find one of Hiawassee's most welcoming getaways with spectacular lake and mountain views! Careful thought and planning went into the complete remodel of this sprawling lakefront resort with separate upper and lower units, providing several options to accommodate couples or groups of up to 19. Bend of the River is designed for reunions, retreats, and family vacations while enjoying your own privacy.
 Bring your boat or rent from one of the nearby marinas and tie up to your own your private dock.  Guests may soak in the hot tub, use the pedal boat, relax by the fire pit or on our arbor swing that overlooks the new pavilion, complete with a grilling area. Activities on the grounds include  bocce ball, horse shoes, corn hole, kayaking, a miniature putting green, or billiards in the game room. Enjoy end-of-the-road privacy with ample parking. Just imagine, all of this and still only 10 minutes from shopping, churches, restaurants and entertainment. 'Bend of the River' - where ordinary takes a turn toward extraordinary!

More Than The Sum Of All Its Parts:

In all, there are a total of 9 bedrooms and 6 baths, 3 kitchens, 1 kitchentte, 4 fireplaces and the chalet sleeps up to 19 persons.  Perfectly suited for corporate or church retreats, planning seminars, reunions or family get-togethers for any occasion (especially for the holidays), Bend of the River caters to adults, but responsible families with well-behaved children are most welcomed.  Sorry, but no pets, no exceptions. The property is strictly "Non-smoking" throughout.

Professional decorators spared no expense in designing and outfitting the chalet.  Skillful attention to every detail has produced the polished look and feel of an elegant lodge with furnishings and decor in keeping with the theme.  Distressed leather couches, heavy woven tapestries, trophy mounts, plush, over-stuffed chairs, natural hardwood or slate flooring, stone fireplaces, carved stairways and valences and rustic touches everywhere complete the ambiance.  "Rustic", yes, but not "rough": comfy linens and towels, tasteful amenities, fully stocked kitchens, satellite TV, wireless DSL, free local phone calls, and all the comforts of home complete the seduction.  Plan in advance for peak season and holidays so you won't miss out.  Relax, Refresh, and Renew at Bend of the River.

This private, lakefront location with its own dock provides boat owners with the convenience of "door to dock" right in your own backyard.  Guests are welcomed torents the oaddke boat abd kayaks for a small fee.  Bend of the River is  just a short drive to 3 local marinas where you can rent ski boats, canoes, Pontoons or jet skis for a day of fun on the water. 

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 fall offers "Octoberfest" and spring and summer offers tubing adventures and horse-drawn carriage rides.
