Modern Cottage on Lake Chatuge • Lakefront • Private Dock • Hiawassee • Sleeps 8

Waterfront home on gorgeous Lake Chatuge!

Our 4 bedroom, 3 bath home offers plenty of space for gatherings of family and friends. With two bedrooms on the main level and two additional bedrooms in the spacious walk out basement, the house sleeps up to 8 people. Fresh, modern decor, new furnishings (including Tuft & Needle mattresses) and a fully stocked kitchen are just a few of the amenities you will enjoy. The master bedroom overlooks the lake and features a king sized bed, luxurious bedding, a flat screen television and a private bathroom with walk in shower and freestanding tub. Bedrooms 2 & 3 feature queen sized beds and shared bathrooms, while lakeside bedroom 4 is home to two twin sized beds. All bedrooms are designed with maximum comfort in mind and feature 400 thread count sheets, down comforters and linen or organic duvets.

The vaulted main living area centers around a wood burning fireplace and is a perfect spot to get cozy with a book, cup of tea or loved one. Dawn and dusk are best enjoyed from the covered back deck, which overlooks the lake and is home to a gas grill for outdoor feasts. An open kitchen with huge island offers additional seating for dining and is an inviting space in which to cook, gather and relax. The spacious dining room is perfect for family style suppers and breakfasts and offers plenty of space to spread out and work - if you must - while you are here. The basement family room is where the indoor entertainment reigns... A large screen TV, ping pong table and spacious sectional sofa beckon leisure time after a day on the lake or exploring north Georgia; pull out a board game, borrow a book -- or sign in & enjoy your Netflix account - for a cozy evening in. Cable TV and WiFi are available throughout the home. Wake up to coffee on the back deck, and spend your days swimming, boating, kayaking or fishing on the lake. And bring your marshmallows and enjoy cool evenings by the outdoor fire pit overlooking the lake!

Our home is located within minutes of Hiawassee, so groceries and gas are always close by. The small established neighborhood is quiet, and most of our neighbors are part-time residents, so if you are looking for peace and quiet, you have found it. Have a boat? Tie up to our private boat dock! No boat? Enjoy one of our kayaks or the Bellyak or just throw a line in the water from the swim deck. Boat rentals are available near by for the day and half-day - we encourage you to rent one and explore all the nooks and crannies of beautiful Lake Chatuge.

Miscellaneous details: Parking is provided for two to three cars. The home is fully heated & air conditioned and linens/towels are provided. There are fans in the main family rooms and the upstairs bedrooms for your comfort. For additional photos & information, please find us on Instagram @moderncottagelakechatuge.

About us: We are a family of four and are full time residents of Asheville, NC. We fell in love with Lake Chatuge over the course of several years of camping and vacation rental stays. We took the leap to create a property of our own in 2017 with the dream of building something beautiful, functional and comfortable for us to enjoy with our young daughters, extended family and friends now and for years to come. We are delighted to share it with you.

Hiawassee & N. Georgia:
This area of Georgia is known for its mountains and lakes. Opportunities to hike, fish, swim and mountain bike are abundant. The Appalachian Trail passes through Hiawassee, which is a quaint town with sweet local shops and restaurants. We love this area for it's scenic natural beauty, slower pace of life and multitude of outdoor opportunities. It's truly a wonderful place to get away from it all!

Our stay at the Modern Cottage was great! Wonderful home and.beautiful scenery! We loved the dock!
We had a great experience and the property was very nice! The home was very nicely decorated and the beds were so comfortable. The view from the back deck was beautiful and having a dock was a plus!

A wonderful place to relax
The property was clean and actually nicer in person than the photos on VRBO. We loved the house layout, the peaceful dock, comfortable beds, and the fire pit. Location is a quick few minutes into Hiawassee where we grabbed groceries to grill on the very nice deck at the lake house.

Beautiful home
Beautiful, comfortable home to spend a few days with our college-age kids on their fall break. It was a bit chilly out, so we didn’t really take advantage of the lake unfortunately. The house was very clean and all the beds were super comfy! We will definitely consider staying here again if we find ourselves in the area.

Perfect cottage lake house
This house and property were exactly as promised! Everything was so beautiful and well kept. We absolutely loved the back patio area and also the fire pit we used most nights. The dock was perfect for the boat we rented and Lake Chatuge is stunning! We will definitely be back to this wonderful modern cottage!

The house was perfect - open, airy, clean, well-stocked, beautifully decorated, comfortable. Such easy access to the lake. My son said that he "wants to leave there"! Just be careful to not lock yourselves out on the upstairs balcony/deck!

Super Lake Home
This is the second time we are here and just love the house and location. House has great amenities with lots of space for everyone to sleep and enjoy their stay. This home has a boat dock so we were able to rent a boat at Boundary Waters Marina and were able to bring the boat to the house. Quiet cove to hang out on the dock. We would rent here again!!

Enjoyable relaxing vacation
We stayed as a family of 5 and had an enjoyable and relaxing time. The home is exactly as pictured with all amenities needed. There was plenty of room to spread out. We played games, went kayaking, baked cookies and brownies and most of our meals. The home was located in an area with a short drive to town We will definitely be back for a future visit.

Girls Trip
We are a group of 7 retired ladies from Florida looking for an escape from the Florida’s summer heat. This beautiful home was the perfect base for our hikes, wine tastings, lake activities, board games, etc. Everyone in the group loved the house and its beautiful decor. We enjoyed the easy access to the lake via the home’s private dock. The dock also made a fun spot for the group’s morning Pilates workout.

We had a blast!
Your home is gorgeous and we loved every minute! It’s so close to everything - steps from the lake and kayaking, minutes from boat rentals, tubing, ziplining, ropes courses, etc. Yet, it’s so quiet and peaceful. Our kids were sufficiently worn out from the lake every day, but they still managed to play table tennis each night! The kitchen was great and rooms were so spacious! We will definitely be back!

Beautiful Bare-minimum lake house
The house is gorgeous, the location is great and the lake cove beautiful. However we nicknamed the house bare-minimum, none of the 4 bedrooms have dressers (having to live out of our luggage of the floor giving it the feel of hostel stay) all the furniture and decor is very bare-minimum, giving the stay a cold vague vibe, not cozy or homey at all.

Amazing views. Magical memories.
Eternally grateful for the pleasure of staying at your cabin. Indescribably beautiful; perfect for our Christmas/New Year with the family. Tanya has thought of everything! The mattresses were so comfortable, soft sheets, everyone slept so well. Cabin decor was perfect, everything as pictured. Nothing will beat the view of the lake.... gorgeous! Gas grill worked perfect. Fire lakeside to roast marshmallows. Thank you again. Such a lovely place.

Wonderful house! Highly recommend!
We loved staying at this house. We booked it for my boyfriend’s birthday. We planned to have a lake weekend and rent a boat. Unfortunately the weather did not cooperate for the boat but the house more than made up for not being able to get out on the water. The house is beautifully decorated and has a great layout. We especially enjoyed the downstairs living room and ping pong table. Tanya was wonderful to work with and very quick to respond. We loved it so much we wanted to book it again for Memorial Day but it’s already booked. Would highly recommend renting this house if you are planning a lake weekend at Chatuge Lake!

Perfect
This lake house was perfect. Our “framily” of 8 stayed here for 5 nights. The homeowner was quick to respond and was very helpful. There was plenty of room for all of us. Everything was spotless and clean for our arrival. It is a very convenient location to many towns and different attractions. We stuck to hanging out at the house and hiking the many trails that were near by. The road has easy access and the house was welcoming and felt very safe. The downstairs area was the perfect hangout spot for the kids. The adults enjoyed our evenings either around the bonfire or inside around the fireplace. Many great memories were made here and we hope to return again.

Perfect family vacation
Our family can usually find something to complain about at any of the lake houses we stay at, but we are at a loss this time! This house was perfect for us! We had concerns about the dock being across the road, but we rarely saw a vehicle on it and it was a quick walk from the house. Even though there's no TV in the main living area, there is a speaker you can connect to to play your favorite playlists and we spent mornings singing along to songs while cooking breakfast and our evenings playing games. There is a tv downstairs with a big couch so you can still have family movie night. The dock is in a nice cove so you can swim and kayak right next to it, but also close to open lake for boating and tubing. All in all, this was one of our best vacating yet!

Perfect for family weekend getaway
Very spacious house, well laid out and very comfortable. We made several meals in the well equipped kitchen which was great, even had a large dining room table to enjoy. Ping-pong table in the basement was a big hit! Weather was also good enough to still enjoy the lake, (paddle boarding and kayaking) and even though the lake level is down for the winter, you could still easily access it from the end of the dock.

Fantastic Family Vacation!
We called it Lake Escape 2024, but we also could call it Fantastic! This rental provided everything we needed for grandparents, kids and toddler grandkids. We’ve stayed in a lot of vacation rentals, but never one so thoughtfully and thoroughly stocked—dish liquid, laundry supplies, all linens including lake towels, hand soaps, toilet tissue, paper towels, etc.—and not just sample or starter sizes! Although we brought kayaks and lake toys/floats from home, the house offers that too! Roomy, tastefully decorated spaces inside gave us areas to be together, but also areas to chill out and nap. We made good use of the fire pit and daily use of the dock. We all had such a good time. One of the grandsons said it best—“We come back here soon?”

Great house with great dock and beautiful lake
The house was perfect for what we needed, a weekend getaway for my husband and our two kids and another family and their one boy. The kids all had the downstairs area and the four adults had the upstairs. The house is beautiful and very clean. The lake access was perfect, not too many steps. The dock was great, and the owners were super responsive and very nice. The only thing we were missing was a boat, which we will likely look into renting next time! Thank you for having us!

The house is in great condition and with all modern amenities. The dock which is not directly on the property is a great place for watching sunset!
