Accommodations: Vacation Cottage, 2 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 2 Baths (Sleeps 4-6)
Just 2 hours from Atlanta, Chattanooga and Greenville, our home “Bella Vista” (Beautiful View) is the perfect destination to get away from it all. Overlooking the Great Smoky Mountains and nestled among 3.5 quiet acres, our private cottage also has views of Lake Chatuge – known as the Lake Tahoe of the East.
With a 128 miles of shoreline, Lake Chatuge is beautiful and clean and ideal for swimming, boating and fishing. Boat and jet-ski rental is available just a half-mile away, and the cottage is located less than 5 minutes from two marinas on the shores of Lake Chatuge. Nearby Jackrabbit Campground offers a public boat launch, picnic areas and a beach swimming area.
For the land lover, there are local wineries, antique stores, horseback riding, restaurants, shopping, plenty of hiking trails, and two 18-hole golf courses nearby. Enjoy events, concerts and festivals year round in downtown Hiawassee, the surrounding areas, and the GA Mountain Fairgrounds. However, the real appeal of Bella Vista is the peace and relaxation you’ll experience just absorbing the view from the comfort of this luxurious cottage.
Bella Vista is for couples and friends who appreciate all the creature comforts of home while spending a relaxing time in the mountains. Enjoy a mountain rain shower under the covered porch, a breezy afternoon on the open deck, or take a short drive to Brasstown, the highest peak in Georgia - where you can take in breathtaking views of four states.
By day, explore the spectacular Blue Ridge Mountains, the city of Helen, and many other activities in the area. By night curl up with your favorite book, movie or board game. Bella Vista truly has something for everyone. Reserve your getaway now!

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2008
We are a professional couple who love getting away to the peace and serenity of the mountains, and spending time with friends.
Why the Owner Chose Hiawassee
We looked at properties on other lakes in the Carolinas but when we saw the Lake Chatuge area, we immediately knew this was the lake for us! Surrounded by mountains, it was the most beautiful lake we had seen and there is so much to do in the immediate area. Our home is located on 3.5 private (mostly wooded) acres in a nice, quiet, high-end community, which we appreciate. We enjoy sharing our fabulous find with others and hope you'll love it as much as we do!
The Unique Benefits of this Vacation Cottage
Our home is located on 3.5 very wooded acres, has gorgeous views and no visible neighboring houses. It's incredibly private, yet still very easy to access with any kind of vehicle.
