Once you arrive, the only road you see is a sparsely populated dead-end road across the river. Wood Haven sits on the bank of the Hiawassee River, where you will enjoy watching the river flow from the screened in back porch complete with a propane fire pit. If you wish to take advantage of fishing, canoeing or kayaking, pay close attention to the TVA release schedules and be safe. With so much to do, it is hard to believe how peaceful, quiet and tranquil Wood Haven on the River is. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

The place surpassed our expectations. The location is perfect with nearby restaurants and grocery stores. It was very clean and the size of the house was perfect for the four of us. We would definitely recommend this property and will absolutely return.
very relaxing. Nice cool temperature, convenient to downtown Haysville and most of the other small towns in the community. Had a great time will be back!
It was wonderful. We loved the house and where it was. Loved the back screened porch by the river. We saw deer in front of the house. Would definitely stay there again!
This beautiful cottage is perfect for a peaceful getaway. The screened in back porch provides a beautiful view of the river. We saw many birds and bunnies during our stay. The house was very clean and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. There is a nice grocery store very close by as well. I plan to stay again next time I am in the area.
This is perfect cabin for a long weekend getaway. We visit this area often and It is close to all our favorites places. The property is located on the river making for perfect views from the screened in porch. The cabin is clean and comfortable. My only suggestion would be to add a seating area around the outside fire pit but there is a gas fire pit on the back porch. It was a great property and we will definitely be back.
We had a wonderful time. The cottage is so cute.Always clean. Our girls trip was awesome. We spent days and evenings sitting on the back porch listening to the river and playing card games.Looking forward to next time.
The house is very clean and comfortable. The owner responds to questions very quickly. Will be staying there my next visit to Clay county and I highly recommend you stay there also.

Thank you Jonathan! Please come back again and visit us soon.
My husband and I found this cottage a charming little treasure! Lovely attention to detail! Subtle accents of Native American history found in this area. Peaceful and private! We will return for sure!!
This is a beautiful rental, right on a river. It is very private and quiet. We enjoyed our stay in this well on comfortably decorated cottage. We certainly will return if our travels bring us again to the very western part of NC.
