  We just got back from spending Thanksgiving in Hummingbird Hill –it is truly a magical place! From the moment you enter Jane’s magnificent house you feel at home; as if a wonderful friend had left for a week and left you their home to enjoy. All you need to bring are your clothes-everything else is provided for you. If you love to cook, the house has all the amenities and then some for a wonderful meal which you could eat outside in one of her two tables which overlook the spectacular mountains or the lake, or indoors, still providing the outside view from all the picture windows. Hiawassee provides that quaint small town feeling with all the country ambiance-the people are friendly and very warm. For the nature lovers the wrap-around porch on both levels allows you to linger on one of the many rocking chairs and observe the hummingbirds come and feed along with other feathered friends. I just loved sitting outside mid-day to read one of my favorite books while the leaves sing their music beckoning you to a little nap. Jane taste in every corner of her home is impeccable; she provides little perks throughout her house. I have been to Jane’s home twice now and plan on returning this summer. Once you stay here, it will be hard to equal any other home anywhere you may stay. Hiawassee is a place you will want to return again and again and staying in Jane’s home will make your experience unforgettable.

  This home was beyond our expectations; it was well appointed in the furnishings with an eye to comfort. The owners had thought of every necessity for the traveler and wants all who enter to feel at home and welcomed. We have stayed in many rentals in the past however this one far exceeded its description. The kitchen was very well stocked and the cook felt right at home. We both enjoyed the wifi ability, the theatre room (with a library of movies that you would not believe), the views from the porch in early morning and late evening, and especially the birds and hummers....what a show!!! The Copper Door in downtown Hayesville provided a wonderful Birthday celebration for Mrs.,but the list provided by the owners were visited and enjoyed as well. We recommend this loving house to anyone and look forward to returning. Thanks, Ms. Jayne for the beautiful flowers and Bill thanks you for the bowls of candy so lovely provided.

  The house was amazing!! We loved the wrap around porch, and the beautiful views of the mountains. My husband and I ate breakfast out there every morning of our stay. It was also great going down the the bottom floor of the house to watch movies (they had a great selection to choose from, and surround sound). We also enjoyed walking further into the neighborhood for more beautiful views of the mountains. I would definitely recommend Hummingbird Hill, and will most definitely be coming back with friends or family!!

  Wow! What a great place to stay! The listing description is accurate but the photos cannot depict the beauty of this rental. Jayne has created an amazing retreat at Lake Chatuge and it's chock full of tons of great amenities. The house and grounds are well maintained and we recommend you give it a try. You can't beat the price! We didn't even use the three floors with three separate living spaces (only the main level) because it was just my husband and me, but there's everything one could want. Big screen TV, games for kids and big kids, coffee and flavored creamers, laundry supplies, baby provisions, a kitchen with every imaginable gadget, including tons of cookout and eat-out-on-the-porches supplies. 2 gas tanks for plenty of grilling, a great view of the woods and lake, and a super-clean, lovely home. We did a lot of nothing on most days and boy, what a peaceful, quiet place to do that, just sitting on the porch for meals, coffee, dessert, reading, and conversation. We spent 1/2 day jet skiing on Lake Chatuge and what a blast that was! Jayne has thought of everything and was very helpful in recommending eating places and a jet ski rental venue. We had great meals and service at Brothers restaurant and The Chophouse, both in Young Harris, the Old Bavarian Inn in Helen, GA, and Big Al's Pizza Buffet in Hiawasse just a few miles from the house. Local folks were very friendly and cordial. Thanks so much, Jayne, for a super first wedding anniversary! Most sincerely, Walt and Ann.

  My family of 14 spent NY weekend in this house and the one next door. It worked out perfectly! The home was well stocked with everything you could possibly need, which helped as we did a lot of cooking. Everything was neat and clean, but most of all, very homey and inviting. The owner was very helpful in answering all of my questions and making me feel comfortable about my upcoming stay - she was a very nice person. Everyone in my family said they liked these two homes together better than the one last year, because they felt more like home. The view was (as my husband called it) "a million dollar view." Thank you so much for giving my family a wonderful holiday together.

  We recently stayed at Hummingbird for the week of Thanksgiving. The cabin is absolutely beautiful. Very tastefully decorated. Every last detail thought of including fresh flowers. Stunning views of Lake Chatuge from the wrap-around deck complete with rockers and a lower deck. The cleanest cabin we've ever rented. Great layout for privacy. Well-furnished kitchen and stocked pantry. We wouldn't hestitate to recommend to friends. Well-situated to enjoy the mountains. We will definitely come back!

  To say that everything was perfect, is an understatement, but so very accurate. Every single detail was covered: upscale, spotlessly clean, well supplied, cozy, spacious home, all with gorgeous mountain and lake views. The owners have decorated, stocked and organized this beautiful home so well, you don't want to ever leave. From the Halloween candy, thoughtfully placed throughout the house for our enjoyment, to the mums by the fireplace, to the sheer beauty of the home and surrounding views, we felt royally welcomed the moment we stepped through the front door. The location is ideal for those who want to be off the beaten path without having to drive far to enjoy good restaurants, shopping, gorgeous mountain drives, hikes and waterfalls. Truly, this was our family's best VRBO mountain getaway to date! We will definitely return.

  You won't find a more peaceful, relaxing place to stay. With bedrooms and bathrooms on three floors, everyone has privacy and the owners have furnished everything you need to be comfortable. This was our second visit and we enjoyed every minute of it; from the beautiful sunsets to the hungry birds at the bird feeders. There is plenty of room for family or friends. We felt like we were staying in a first class hotel in the woods. There is always something to do or see in the mountains.
