Beautiful property with great access to the lake. The owners were very responsive and helpful with any questions.My family enoyed their stay! Definitely would recommend this rental to others.
This house was very thoughtfully designed and equipped. It is literally beautiful inside. I have also never stayed anywhere that has been so stocked with everything we needed!
Beautifully decorated and on a Great Lake lot! It has all the extras like coffee and kitchen supplies. Located near wineries and restaurants and the Georgia Mountain Fair.
House was beautifully appointed and clean. We enjoyed lake access and use of the kayak, as well as the fire pit and grill. Would definitely stay here again!
Absolutely charming property! The decor is rustic sophistication and they have made it a delightful place to stay. Everything you need for cooking in, pots, pans, utensils and an abundance of spices. For downtime there are books glore, puzzles, games and flat screen tvs. And of course the lake!
Cozy and clean. Scenery is beautiful with access to the lake. Great fishing spot. Caught lots of fish. Quiet, relaxing and calm waters. Would definitely visit again. Shannon was great!!!
The home itself was perfect for our family. Great layout and comfortable kitchen, living area, and bedrooms. We spent time on the dock and swimming in the lake and everything was easy and views were spectacular.

So glad your family enjoyed your stay at the Hersie House!
Completely adorable! Cleaned spotlessly! The owners are extra thoughtful! The lake was amazing! It Wasn't over crowded even on a holiday weekend! I honestly cant say enough about how awesome our stay was! Thank you! Tammy Holdcraft
We really enjoyed our stay here on Lake Chatuge. This house is conveniently located 5 minutes from downtown. It was easy to run to the grocery store, restaurants, and the marina to pick up the boat we rented. Very clean inside and the renovations were done well. We will definitely be back for another lake weekend.
The property is beautifully restored and very clean. It has a dock and easy access to the lake. The owners were lovely. The only downside is the road noise from passing trucks.
We just spent a couple nights in Hiawassee and loved this property. It was clean and the updates are great. It’s a good location with water access. It is convenient to everything in Hiawassee.
We had a very relaxing and comfortable 3 night stay at this cute little house. Refurbished and delightfully decorated. Fully adjustable and easy climate control and even heated bathroom floor.
Quite fun!
House was exactly as described….it is right on a busy road but that was in the description…..other than that it’s right on the lake and was well stocked and comfortable…..very convenient to lots or hiking and walking trails which was what we were looking for!
Since moving to the area 10 years ago, we have had our eye on this farmhouse. We jumped at the opportunity to purchase it in 2019 and spent most of 2020 renovating the inside. It was a labor of love and we hope you fall in love with it as much as we have.
Why they chose this property
Stay in a piece of history while enjoying modern amenities. Hersie House was built before the lake was created. Come enjoy all that Towns County has to offer or just relax by the lake. Either way we hope you will enjoy our little home away from home.
What makes this property unique
Charm of staying in a house that is older than the lake while also enjoying modern amenities.
