There’s grass under this area of the lake, so it’s great for fishing because they like to hide in there (striped bass.) Lots of fishermen frequent in this cove when it is tournament time. When the lake is low, the view is still stunning, all nice and green and the dock is on a tributary that feeds right into the lake, so there is some moving water year round. From fish to geese and deer, rain and snow there is always something to see. We are literally nestled in the mountains on the lake.
From April - August bring your boat! From September-April water is too low for boat at dock. To access the lake, use the double boat ramps at Ledford Chapel, Jackrabbit Mountain Recreation Area or Chatuge Dam. There are many easy nearby lake entry points. 2 Kayaks, 2 SUPs are included with the house and they are great year round! We have life jackets in a variety of sizes. We also have some fishing gear so you can try to get some of those striped bass.
We send you a personal code so you can check in on your own. We leave you alone to enjoy and make those memories. We’re always available by phone, text or messaging.

Our dock is SECOND one down from the house. It has a wooden pier and an aluminum arch to a square dock. Please raise the dock ladder before you leave the dock each day.
We love the #lakelife around here as well as the majestic mountains. The north side of the lake has stunning long range mountain views. This home is convenient to many things yet surrounded by the Nantahala National Forest and the Tusquittee valley. So much to do and see right in town.
Downtown Hayesville is simply charming with walkability to several shops and dining establishments. Explore the square, take a yoga class, try a new microbrew at Nocturnal Brewery, have a five star meal at the Copper Door, get a gourmet cookie from the bakery, shop at Tiger's general store or get ice cream at Chinquapins. Pick up tickets at a show at the Peacock. This town is simply lovely.
Hiawassee, Ga. and Murphy, NC are both right around the corner and there are weekly free concerts at the John C. Campbell Folk School in Brasstown, NC in the summers.
We have a handy Welcome Guidebook in the house FULL of dining options, things to do - shopping, horseback riding, hiking, mountain biking and waterfall trails, dog friendly wineries with live music events and tastings. Fantastic spa close by. And a short 25 min drive to Helen for tubing or zip lining, wine and craft brew tastings, local stables, or Murphy, NC for Harrah's casino.
If you don't have a boat, there are several excellent boat rental places in the area! We use Lake Chatuge Marine, Young Harris Water Sports, Boundary Waters... They will set you up, rent by the day or week! They have all kinds of water toys too like jet skis - park the boat at our private dock during your stay when the lake is up (May - August.)
