Spend the day on Lake Chatuge with a boat or personal watercraft rental from a local marina or launch your own from nearby public access.

On the GA side, take a 30-minute drive to a waterfall hike via the High Shoals Falls Trail or make the 45-minute drive to Alpine Helen, GA for a taste of Bavaria in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Hungry and thirsty after a day of exploration? Visit the outstanding local restaurants, wineries, and breweries in and around downtown Hayesville and Hiawassee for not-to-be-missed tastes of local flavor.

We love the #lakelife around here as well as the majestic mountains. So much to do and see right in town. We have a handy Welcome Book in the house full of dining options, things to do, shopping, hiking and waterfall trails. Wineries with live music events and tastings are plentiful. And a short 25 min drive to Helen for tubing or zip lining.

There are several excellent boat rental places in the area! We use Lake Chatuge Marine, Young Harris Water Sports, Boundary Waters... The fellas will help you out! All kinds of water toys too like jet skis, stand up paddle boards and kayaks.

Hike or drive to the apex of Bell Mountain, which overlooks Lake Chatuge below and provides picturesque mountain views. Shooting Creek Overlook is breathtaking.

Septic System 101:
Never pour grease down the drain. Pour grease into a container and dispose of it as solid waste.
Scrape food waste into the garbage, not down the drain. Nothing that doesn’t come out of a human goes into the toilet, except toilet paper. Place baby wipes in the garbage.
Avoid long showers.
Washing Machine: Washing more than one full load daily — or perhaps two if the loads are spaced by about 12 hours — is the limit for the drain field.
Cleaning Needs: No Bleach! Anything labeled “antiseptic” is out — these products kill the “good” bacteria necessary for the septic to function.
The tenant is responsible for plumbing repairs if they flushed items such as sanitary napkins or diapers down the toilet.
The rental agreement is ONLY for the stated amount of people in the AirBnB agreement. The septic system can/will not handle a large volume of people and will overflow if too many people use it.
