The perfect place for our multigenerational family vacation. Having three separate living areas meant we could spread out and do different activities when we wanted. The kitchen island is huge, so much seating. The kitchen is well stocked with appliances and gadgets. We took turns cooking each night and always had all the equipment we needed. There is a very large grill on the deck that’s connected to the gas line. We enjoyed the large fire pit with plenty of chairs surrounding it. We had an amazing time out on the beautiful lake… highly recommend Lake Chatuge Marina for boat rental! The area has several outstanding hiking trails which lead to waterfalls… The house location is very convenient to the grocery store!We were very happy with this rental!

Family vacation

We had a wonderful week at Living the Dream. The inside perfect for our family of 9. We were able to gather as a group or break off into smaller groups for catching up . The bunk room with the sunroom/porch was perfect for our 3 teens/tweens. The dock was a huge hit. We would definitely stay here again!

Mountain Lake Getaway

Location was great easy access to both Hayesville and Hiawassee. Scenic surrounds, wildlife and of course the lake was great to relax and enjoy nature, or sit around the fire pit with family and caught up while the kids chase lightning bugs. The house had plenty of space to sleep and entertain all generations with a massive kitchen island, pool table, ping pong, plenty of board games and much more!!! Internet WiFi worked great to stay connected if needed too.

Great Location

The property is in a great location. The space was fantastic. It was obviously an older property that is in need of some care and maintenance. The outdoor areas specifically appeared to have not be maintained throughout winter months, very haphazard in appearance.Overall the size was great with many different spaces to enjoy. The amenities were good (i.e. pool table, ping pong table, foosball table, gas grill, gas fireplace and dock on the lake). All in all we would return to this property especially if the maintenance was kept up.

2025 Summer Vacation

Had a fantastic time! The house was beautiful and had literally every thing we needed. The kitchen was more stocked than any other VRBO we’ve stayed in, and was perfect with the wide open space and pool table right in the same big room. We rented a boat from Lake Chatuge Marina, and the boat fit perfectly on the floating dock, no problems whatsoever. The fire pit is as beautiful as the pictures show. We had one small glitch with the internet, but apparently a storm had knocked several other houses internet out as well, and the property management quickly had someone to the house to replace the bad modem and all was good in the WiFi world :-). The house is spacious and all in our party (8 of us total) said their respective beds were super comfy and slept great each night. The house is also super convenient to grocery, restaurants, local attractions, and obviously you can’t beat Lake Chatuge itself. We absolutely loved our stay and would highly recommend as a great choice!

The oven door did not close tight and the front screen door closure needs repaired. The chairs in living room were a little uncomfortable. Overall was pretty good. Fire pit was beautiful and enjoyed by all of us. Lake and dockside were very relaxing. We rented a boat from local company. Inside space was very accommodating. Great location close to everything.

Thanksgiving 2021

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved Living the Dream. It had lots of space, well equipped, and had everything you would want. Of course, things happen and the heating motor went out during very cold night. Once reported to Greg, it was taken care of right away. My only suggestion would be to leave instructions for TVs. The one in living room and master bedroom never worked. We enjoyed the tv in rec room downstairs. The outside fire pit was awesome and we spent a lot of time out there. We are already thinking of a return visit in warmer weather. Thanks for having us.

Living the dream review

Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Had a great time with our family. Communication was nearly non existent. I tried for two days to contact the management company with no response. I needed to know if someone was going to inspect the property after the tropical storm and let me know if the power was on and if there was any damage before we traveled 2 plus hours to get there. I finally called Little Bear Management and they advised the manager of our property was out of town on vacation. He apparently failed to have anyone in place to handle calls etc. Little Bear was kind enough to send someone out and did let us know everything was ok.

Things that that needs attention

There are an enormous amount of stairs at this house both insude and outside. There are 6 different levels on the inside of the house. Lots and lots of stairs. Not good for elderly people or folks with mobility challenges. There areits and lots of stairs outside and those stairs are not built to code , they are mildewy and slippery, and are not level. Outside stairs are a problem as well. The dock has no steps to get on it. That is a major hazard try to get on and off the dick from the yard. The outdoor fireplace area was a mess and the fire place tools were laying on the ground rusting. The exterior of the house including the hand rails was very dirty, with lots of visible mildew, cobwebs, leaves, mold, ex..The master shower pan did not drain and filled up with water immediately. One of the primary beds in its own bedroom was not make up at all and looked like someone had just slept in it. re are lots and lots
