Mountains or lake? Why choose — Lake Chatuge has it all!!

Come relax and unwind with some of the most stunning, peaceful views in the area. Lakefront Haven is a beautiful ranch with a basement, with a double-level rocking-chair porch, and a private dock on Lake Chatuge. From the porch, take in direct views of beautiful Lake Chatuge, plus long-range mountain views of the Blue Ridge Mountains, including Brasstown Bald, the highest point in Georgia.

Remote workers welcome - we have HIGH SPEED INTERNET!

The home
3 bedrooms · 3 bathrooms · sleeps 10 · with two levels of entertaining space. Pets welcome with a fee.

Upstairs, two luxurious adjustable king bedrooms — the master is a split king, so each side adjusts to your own preference — each bedroom upstairs has a smart TV and a desk. The master has an ensuite bathroom with a standing shower and a private balcony. The second upstairs hall bath has a deep soaking tub. Downstairs, the third bedroom has a double bed, two twin beds, and a twin trundle, plus a full bathroom. A standard size washer and dryer are in the garage, two charcoal grills are out back in the fenced in back yard. We have a paved flat driveway. The whole property is yours to enjoy.

Indoor living
Gas fireplace in the upstairs living room with a streaming smart TV, three recliners and a sofa. Downstairs has a second living room area with sleeper sofa, smart TV, wet bar with two wine fridges (one dual-temperature), pool table. We have a very well-equipped kitchen with a Keurig + drip coffee maker, air fryer, large Instant Pot, toaster, blender, and all the cooking essentials, plus serving platters and casserole dishes for a family barbecue or special Holiday meal.

Outdoor living & the lake
Swim, boat, and fish on Lake Chatuge (known for striped bass) then barbecue and watch the sunset by the fire pit — we have some suggested creative s'mores recipes. Two charcoal grills sit in the fenced backyard, and the yard is made for evenings outside.

The dock is the second one down from the house — a wooden pier with an aluminum arch leading to a square dock. We have kayaks and paddleboards for use with your rental, as well as a few inflatables and pool noodles. If you visit during the summer months, please raise the dock ladder before you leave the dock each day.

The fishing here is special: there's grass under the water in this cove, and striped bass love to hide in it — fishermen flock here during tournaments.

From fish to geese and deer, rain and snow, there's always something to see. We're nestled in the mountains on the lake, on the north side with stunning long-range mountain views, surrounded by the Nantahala National Forest and the Tusquittee Valley. No better place to come outside and "touch grass."

A note on lake levels: from April through August, please feel free to bring your boat — the water is up and you can park it at our private dock. From September through April, the TVA lowers lake levels and the lake is too low for boats at the dock, but the view stays stunning and green, and our dock sits on a tributary with moving water. Kayaks and paddleboards are great year round and can be launched from the shore.

If you bring a boat, you can launch at the double boat ramps at Ledford Chapel, Jackrabbit Mountain Recreation Area, or Chatuge Dam. We have also had guests store their boat at the local dealership. No boat? Boundary Waters rents by the day or week — boats, jet skis, and water toys included - and they have boats that matches the cleats on our dock. Tell them you are at Lakefront Haven.

Included with your stay
Use of house and yard, 2 kayaks · 2 stand-up paddleboards · life jackets in a variety of sizes · some fishing gear, so you can try for those striped bass. Fun games like cornhole and life size Jenga, and a variety of board and card games downstairs.
