### Living The Dream lovely 5/4 with fireplace, dock, firepit with 9 rockers
LIVING THE DREAM –That’s life on Lake Chatuge in the North Georgia Mountains This wonderful home is back on the rental market after a remodeling of the kitchen, master bath, and other areas of the house. With a mixture of rustic and modern charm, this home features four bedrooms and three and a half baths. Inside amenities include a pool table, ping pong, foosball, high speed internet, fireplace, games, and books. There are five smart TVs…one in each of the upstairs bedrooms, one in the main living room, and one in the terrace level living area. TVs in both living areas have DVD players. Be sure to bring your favorite online streaming app, stick, or casting device. Feast your eyes on the gourmet kitchen equipped with an oversized island that seats eight. The dining table in the adjoining sunroom also seats eight. This kitchen is built for gathering with a six-burner gas stove, double oven, large farmhouse sink, and wet bar with beverage cooler. The pool table is just off the kitchen so it’s easy to sit at the island and watch the action. The main living room has a gas fireplace and furniture made to lounge in. Upstairs is the master bedroom with king bed, ensuite bathroom, and private balcony overlooking the lake. The second bedroom has a king bed and a private balcony overlooking the front yard. The third bedroom has a King bed and a comfy window seat. There is a shared hall bath. The terrace level of the house has a bunkroom with four XL twin bunks, a queen bedroom, and a living area, and a full bathroom. There is also a ping pong room and a foosball table. Outside amenities begin with the porch where you will find a large Webber grill and 2 tables which each seat six. Grab a rocker or lounge chair to hang out and breathe the fresh mountain air or supervise the kids while they play in the yard. The gently sloping yard leads to the owners’ “favorite room in the house”, the oversized fire pit with nine rockers. Anytime of the year, the fire pit is cozy and lends itself to conversation, a hot cup of coffee, the perfect cocktail, stargazing, or a delectable s’more. Continue to the sundeck and dock where you can jump right in or bring a fishing pole to while away the afternoon casting a line. There is ample parking for cars and trailers in the driveway for you and your guests. Although you will feel like you are far from civilization, the town of Hiawassee is less than one mile away. In town, you will find grocery shopping, Starbucks, and many quaint specialty shops and restaurants including a local coffee house and ice cream shop. If you’ve never been to this area, there’s something for everyone. Just a few of things to consider are: • 3 golf courses within a 30-minute drive. • If you like walking or hiking, you have plenty of choices. You can access the Appalachian Trail just outside of town. Other hiking opportunities include Jackrabbit Mountain Rec Area right up the road in North Carolina. The park offers trails for hiking and mountain biking. Another option is a stroll across the Chatuge Dam to enjoy the amazing scenery. Take time to visit Brasstown Bald Visitor Center to see if the day is clear enough to see the Atlanta skyline! Then drive up Bell Mountain (the mountain you can see from the front yard). It gives you a great view of some of the 132 miles of shoreline on Lake Chatuge. If waterfalls are your thing, they are all over the place in north Georgia. Plan to see several while you are here! • For something less strenuous, visit one of the local wineries. Both Crane Creek and Hightower Creek Vineyards are within 20 minutes of the house. Hiawassee Brewery downtown has a great view of the lake and a good selection of craft beers, food and games! Whether you spend time inside, outside, or exploring the area, this home is the perfect place to make memories with family and friends.

#### 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!

#### 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.

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.

#### Great Lake front view
The good: the fire pit was enjoyed several times.There was ample wood supply & fun was had by all. The pool table was quite enjoyable, games were played nightly. The beds were comfortable. The view of the lake is beautiful. The difficult. The high top fire pit table on the porch & BBQ were not usable, because of no propane gas or even an empty to fill. The basement was very nice, but the musty smell kept us from using it. The kitchen is very well equipped but dated. Use the lower over, the top oven door is sprung & never gets real hot.

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.

#### 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

#### Nice-Could Be Great
Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was more than happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: First let me say that this is a great house. I am aware that the owners have been putting money into the house. We could tell that new carpet had just been laid through most of the home. That being said, there are some major issues inside the house. Upon entering the home we were immediately met with the strong odor of mold. In the downstairs basement area where the bunkbeds are the smell was extremely strong. My oldest son was asking if we could leave for home before our time was up because he was so miserable from sneezing. The yard was great, especially if you bring a dog. Also, the dock was very nice and I actually caught a couple of fish from it. We rented a boat from Boundary Waters boat rental, and were able to attach it to the dock. We arrived at the house at 3 o'clock, our scheduled check in time, but the cleaning crew was still there. We pulled into the empty lot across the street from the house to wait for them to finish. We found approximately 20+ towels shoved into the dryer that were not dry. Also we took photographs of cobwebs throughout the house. We made great use of ping-pong and pool tables and over all, we had a nice time. Unfortunately the mold/mildew issues detracted a great deal from our stay. Until the mold issues are addressed, I would not recommend this home to a friend.

#### Living the Nightmare
Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was more than happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I had read previous reviews, which were not favorable. Unfortunately I ignored them. We experienced several of the same situations as other renters. The floors hadn't seen a broom, vacuum or mop in a long long time! The bath towels are badly stained, obviously bleach has never been considered there. The amount of dead bugs and crumbs and spilt liquids all over the place was bizarre considering the cleaning people had supposedly just been there.The porches were covered with weeks, months, of heavy debris and we spent several hours using brooms and blowers making it possible to use and enjoy.We even found balloons covered in confetti rolling around and under furniture. The refrigerator was not clean so we needed to remove shelves and wash everything before we could load our groceries. We placed all dishes, utensils and glasses that we would be using immediately in the dishwasher for a cleaning cycle because they too were filthy, in the cabinets! Pots and pans were hand washed and set aside for future use during our stay.The general filth that had to be cleaned from our first steps on the porch and then throughout the house was both unexpected and time consuming! Cleaning fees are added and included with the rental fees. I resent paying for a service that was not provided. Not to mention all the supposed Covid protocols the rental company claims to adhere to in the booklet!Be warned!! We have been in contact with Greg at Majestic Mountain Getaways, with assurance of partial refund, yet NO refund has been received!I would never, ever recommend Living the Dream rental to anyone!In fact we will never use Majestic Mountain Getaway for any future rentals. There's just no excuse for such conditions to be acceptable to any business.Phone calls to the rental company have been met with excuses but NO actions

#### 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.

#### Big house on the lake
Big house, lots of room to hang out. First impression, 3 bags of dog poop right in front of the garage door that had clearly been there a while. Not so nice neighbors… within 10 minutes of having our boat delivered to the said dock(which is half falling apart and the rental guy said it’s the worst one on the lake) the neighbors complained that it was in their way?? It was on the end of the dock? We were “watched” all week… didnt care! House def needs some TLC and cleaning up. Only half of the grill worked so that was challenging cooking on it. We washed all pots and pans and plates before using… Loved the fire pit and rocking chairs area. Great for s’mores! Need more bath towels and lake towels. Great location , nice restaurants around. Would I stay here again ? Yes and hope they clean it up a lot!

#### Spring break 2022
We had a wonderful spring break with extended family. Backyard whiffle ball with a beautiful backdrop, hiking the trails, boating on lake Chatuge, games and family dinners. Memories were made and will be treasured.

#### Beautiful Views
We loved the house and the location. Also really enjoyed the fire pit. A little disappointed that the lake was so low. We wanted to fish but water was to low for that. The people of town were super friendly and stores were close by.

#### Great house and location
The house was very clean and had plenty of room for our big group. The kitchen was well stocked with all of the pots/pans/small appliances that we needed in order to keep our group fed and happy! The kids loved all of the gaming tables that the property offers. Thanks for a great stay!
