We spent a week at this cottage and was entertained the whole time. The amenities were very accommodating to our family..... We played foosball and games on the rainy day in with the fireplaces blazing. The next day the weather was perfect for using the fire pit out by the lake and swinging. The lake was a bit low but we still did some fishing and saw some very BIG fish. The pathway (stairs) down to the dock was very well lit so this made going up and down easy at night. I would like to thank the owner Joe for letting us do a last minute rental. Found this on a Thursday and checked in on Saturday. When we arrived we felt welcomed. Thanks for sharing such a beautiful place.

Owner response:We make every effort to maintain a clean and attractive cabin. We are constantly updating and adding amenities thanks to the written suggestions we encourage from our visitors. Last minute rentals are encouraged and we make every effort to update the calendar on both our website and on VRBO.

Thank you so much for sharing your cabin wth us. The view was awesome, the privacy was appreciated and the location..perfect. We spent most of our days boating on this beautiful lake and your dock was great. We also took some time to mountain bike at Jackrabbitt State Patk. We highly recommendit as there are nice trails in there. We went whitewater rafting too at the NOC. That was a high point for all of us, especially our 7 year old. The cabin was perfect: secluded & tucked away. The firepit got good use as did your foosball table. Thanks for helping us make this one of our best (relaxing) vacations. Hope to see you next year!

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 GrismerSioux 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)
