Beautiful, quiet getaway in Harris Young 💚
This was our first stay around Hiawassee area. We loved everything about our stay. Accommodation was clean, quiet, and really nice and new. Although tucked away, we were not far from restaurants, stores etc. we definitely want to stay here again!

Little honeymoon paradise
We stayed here for our honeymoon and it was perfect! A beautiful, very clean home! We will be coming again!
We had a great time, loved the creek, hot tub and pool table. It has a very secluded feel but there is a lot to do within just a few minutes of a drive toward Hiawassee.

Relaxing Stay
We were able to unwind and relax during our getaway. We appreciated the hot tub, pool table and fire pit. The house was clean and comfortable.
We will likely visit again. It was far enough away for privacy but close enough to Hiawassee, Hayesville, and Young Harris to enjoy restaurants and activities.
The house was clean and met expectations.

House and scenery are gorgeous! We loved the pool table and the dart board in the basement and the reading nook is a good place to get some quiet time. Bed was very comfortable and the showers are very nice and updated. House was clean and neat. Will definitely be back!

Quiet Creekside home
Loved this home. The hot tub and screened porch we really enjoyed. Quiet neighborhood, only a few neighbors. Everything we needed
Thoroughly enjoyed this property. It’s located within 35 minutes of any level hiking trail you would want to take on. It is also the perfect spot to come back to after punishing your body on those hikes for eating too much at the local establishments. We will definitely be back.

Perfect!
We absolutely loved our stay! From the rec room to the hot tub, the house had it all! Our kids loved the creek too! My only complaint is the neighbor's dogs were constantly barking and even ran on the property a few times, but that's not the fault of the host. We will definitely rebook if we come back to the area!
Nice, comfy home with outdoor space on a small creek. We only used the hot tub once, but it was hot and appeared very clean. We enjoyed the screened in porch and used the gas grill for burgers. The master bedroom was comfortable and the rainfall shower was very relaxing. The only complaint we really had was that there was nowhere to hang our clothes. The master closet was closed and locked, and the small thing in the other bedroom was more like a towel bar. We ended up just laying our clothes across the extra bed. Not a big deal, just a bit inconvenient. Overall, the house was very clean and private, away from major roads. We enjoyed our stay.
Very relaxing. Awesome man cave. Unfortunately was not able to get into the hot tub but it looked very inviting. Scenery was a plus but saw no wildlife. Location to town was perfect. We went into town everyday and enjoyed that the house far enough away to be private. I was surprised to find that all cooking utensils were provided. We cooked but also went to brothers and papas pizza to go. Would recommend both places. Overall 5 out of 5 stars. Would stay again!!!
I had a fantastic stay at this cabin! The entire place was spotlessly clean, which made settling in super easy and comfortable. One of the highlights was the game room—tons of fun and a great way to wind down in the evenings. I also really enjoyed spending time by the stream, which added such a peaceful and relaxing vibe to the property. The screened-in porch was another favorite spot—perfect for enjoying the outdoors without worrying about bugs. I’d absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a cozy and relaxing retreat!
Everything was good, only real issue was shower for king room was backed up.

Wonderful, restful, peaceful, quiet
This is a delightful cabin. It sits nicely on a creek, with a screened in porch where we can sit and listen to the bubbling creek. There are so many comfortable places to sit and read and talk. The decor is so charming. Everything was comfortable, clean, and restful. We hope to return to this delightful place.

Mountain stay
My family got to go to Helen and tube and to Nanahala to white water raft. My grandchildren loved it.
The only problem we had was the bathroom downstairs was out of order.
We were very close to my sister who was having her 80th birthday. Great celebration.
Property was very clean. Location was accessible to Hiawassee for any grocery or restaurant needs. Overall the property was not well equipped for in house cooking. Teflon pans very well worn and no pyrez type bowls or serving pieces at all. Very sparse in the kitchen. There was only one set of towels per guest and no towels as indicated for the jacuzzi. I do have to add the jacuzzi was fantastic. The beds were super comfortable and the master shower was unbelievable.Could have used a better kitchen set up for sure.
