Why the Owner Chose Hiawassee

On our first Appalachian vacation many years ago we found the getaway we (then as Mid-Westerners) had always dreamt of: mountains, lakes, temperate weather, sweeping views, and welcoming all-American neighbors. This lake house has all of these and everything else we love about North Carolina living. It gives us a way to share with our family and with guests from all over America what we love about our chosen home. It is our family’s pride to pass on this experience on to you.

The Unique Benefits at this Cottage

Unparalled relaxation, and one of the best docks on Lake Chatuge. Championship level fishing, 180 feet of private lakeshore / beach. Amazing mountain vistas and sunset views from the elevated private lakeside firepit and covered porch. Really fast wifi! This lake gave us the best of what the area had to offer: full access to a world class fishing lake with the privacy and tranquility of being in a cove. Great views of the mountains framed by trees. Family owned and operated with pride.

 

Owner's Map of Hiawassee

Hi, we are Joe and Lin. Until seven years ago, we lived in Iowa dreaming of a southerly retreat during the long Mid-Western winters. We dreamt of a place that would offer us a climate we could actively enjoy year round, that our grown children would love to visit, yet also a place that would create great memories for our very young grandchildren. For us that means hiking, fishing, lakes, more fishing, relaxing views, community festivals and plenty to do outdoors – like fishing! Murphy, North Carolina is now our adopted home and we are pleased to say, our kids and grandkids all love it here!

    • My husband and I have stayed in many different cabins in the North Georgia/Western North Carolina area, some very nice, some less than nice. I would definitely rate this cabin among the very top in regard to a luxurious, self-indulgent experience. While it is beautifully decorated, it is also family friendly, its surroundings making you feel like you can sit back and feel comfortable instead of afraid that you may tousle something. The view of the lake is breathtaking, and while you are peacefully located in the pristine, country atmosphere, there are distant, quiet houses around the lake that make you feel safe and not isolated in unfamiliar territory. In other words, you won't have any type of "Deliverance" fears in this cabin. The only negative experience that I had was that I could never master the dartboard game in the basement; my husband beat me at the game so repeatedly that I did not even feel up to trying the foozeball table though I am sure any guest's children or grownup would love it. About ten minutes nearby, in case of a rainy day, there is a lovely place on a hill named Funland that shows family-friendly movies and also houses an arcade for the youngsters. Also, try the Scarlet O' Hara-themed Daniel's Steakhouse nearby in Hiawassee; it is a delightful treat and offers a very reasonably-priced buffet. As you can tell, we hope to return to this cabin soon. My husband picked a good one this time for our anniversary, even if he did beat me at darts!

    • I throughly enjoyed Hidden Cove Cabin. The cabin is utilized very well and clean and confortable. I especially loved the porches and outdoor spaces. The boat dock was great and my family enjoyed spending alot of time on the dock fishing and swimming. I enjoyed quiet mornings on the dock while watching the ducks and geese wake up. I definately recommend Hidden Cove Cabin for an enjoyable weekend or family vacation.

    • I loved this place. I went alone to get away and relax. The views are great and it is very quiet. Nice covered dock - helped me in the rain one day. They have everything you might need. The dish TV is a great plus. The final touch, which actually happened when I arrived, was milk, bread, fruit, and cereal for the next morning with a note from the owners. Don't know if they do that all the time, but it was a very nice touch.

    • A great weekend! Excellent dock for fishing, swimming, or just relaxing in the sun (or shade!). My 4-year old son caught his first fish (unassisted) as they are plentiful around the dock. And, we all loved the foosball table. Highly recommended for a getaway.

    • Had a great time at the cabin- the boys and I went fishing at the dock and caught several fish - drove over to Nantahala Outdoor Center for white water rafting which was a blast. The folks up at Lee's country store were great! Enjoyed the cabin and scenery. I appreciate you accomodating my family and I at the last minute too!

    • I love this place! I would move in permanently if I could. I love the ability to go out the back door, walk down to the lake and go fishing anytime of the day. I caught a beautiful trout right off the awesome dock. We have two small kids who were 5 and 2 this spring when we were there and they spent hours on the sandy beach. We could fish off the dock while they played safely on what felt like our own private beach. While fishing in the bay, I caught largemouth bass, perch, bluegill and trout. FUN! The house is beautiful and very accommodating for a family. I enjoyed the full kitchen and we had everything we needed. It was such a tranquil and serene place to be inside and out. Although we can’t move in permanently, we definitely plan to take our next vacation there to Hidden Cove cabin. Sherry and David Grismer Sioux Falls, SD

    • This was my first VRBO rental so I was a bit apprehensive. But let me say first and foremost that the owners of this property are very great to deal with. From beginning to end they were available for any and all questions I had (and I had plenty!). So if you're a first time renter, and looking for a trustworthy place to stay this is definately it, Kudo's to the owner. This place has the best of both worlds, a quiet hidden location away from all the hassles of everyday life. But yet with all the amenities you've grown used to. Its a two story building (the main area is on the first floor) and then there's a decked out basement area. Place has DirectTV for those who need to stay tuned, it has wireless internet access (which was a must-have for me) and it is directly on a beautiful cove quiet of Lake Chatuge. Spent every evening on the lake fishing, and with a brand new dual slip dock, covered, it was great to fish or just feed the hords of little fish at the end of the dock. Cabin has washer and dryer and the AC works great for those warm summer days. And what was a great plus for us is its right in the middle of the gem/mining community so we visited all the great gem/bead shows in Franklin, NC and sorrounding areas. Location is mid way between Helen, Ga (replica Bavarian villiage) and Gatlinburg, Tn (Great tourist stop, including home of Dollywood in Pigeon Forge). Close to Rapids, Directly on the lake for Fishing, close to Mineral Mines, and QUIET! (with the exception of an occasional MOO from the cows 1/8 mile away)
