Sitting at a cool 2,000-foot elevation, you’ll love the mild summer weather—ideal for fishing, hiking, mountain biking, and spotting wildlife (keep your eyes peeled for majestic American Bald Eagles!).
Take a short trip to nearby towns like Blue Ridge or Dahlonega for charming shops and delicious dining. Looking for bigger adventures? The Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Gatlinburg, Dollywood, and the Alpine town of Helen are all just a scenic drive away.
No matter the season, there’s something for everyone—stunning waterfall hikes, winery tours, whitewater rafting, world-class golf courses, and lively seasonal festivals all await!
Step Inside our Home
Step inside to a bright and airy space filled with natural light and floor-to-ceiling picture windows showcasing breathtaking lake and mountain views.
The open-concept design seamlessly connects the living room, kitchen, and dining area that seats 10, so no one ever misses a moment. Cozy up by the grand stone fireplace for movie nights or the big game on the 85-inch TV or gather around a table for any of the 25 board games with the family.
The chef in your group will love the fully equipped kitchen, complete with stainless steel appliances, wine fridge, quartzite countertops, and plenty of storage space. A second refrigerator and a commercial ice maker are conveniently located in the laundry room near the lake entrance.
Sip your morning coffee in a rocker on the expansive upper deck, grill and dine alfresco, or simply unwind on the covered patio while the kids swing in the hammock or lounge on deck chairs. Don’t forget the coffee bar to start your mornings off right!
Outdoor Fun & Relaxation
The covered dock is perfect for enjoying peaceful mornings with a book or an evening cocktail while watching the sun dip below the horizon.
Take advantage of two paddle boards, two kayaks, and 3 canoes — all provided—plus life vests, fishing poles, and paddles found in the boat shed. After a day on the water, relax under the stars in the spacious hot tub or gather around the fire pit to share stories and roast marshmallows.
There are 5 bedrooms and 4.5 baths : the two primary master king bedroom suites offer private balconies with floor-to-ceiling lake views, while the queen guest and 2 bunk rooms also boast stunning views. Every detail is thoughtfully designed to ensure your stay is comfortable, relaxing, and truly unforgettable.

"This is our second time renting here and it was just as magical as the first time we stayed. Amazing views from the endless porches and decks. The inside was clean and stocked with all you would need. We spent all day on the dock and lake and ended our nights relaxing in the hot tub. We used the life vest and lake toys the entire weekends . If you are thinking about staying here just book it! "

Everything you need is available at the home, all you'll need to do is grocery shop. The lake and lake toys were incredible. Paddle boards, floats, a wonderful dock. It was such a beautiful home, I hated to leave. The downstairs game room was perfect for entertaining. The kids had fun playing on the many available games while the adults enjoyed the hot tub and TV. My family and I will most definitely be back."

"This home checks all the boxes for an extended family vacation! From grandparents to adult grandchildren, we had a wonderful stay. The home is well equipped with comfort measures and supplies to make your stay comfortable. The gathering and gaming areas kept everyone entertained and the dock and lake supplies were a nice touch. In addition to the kayaks, canoe and paddles boards, we rented a pontoon boat from the marina nearby. The larger lake is gorgeous and not too crowded for tubing or wakeboarding. There were also plenty of floats and a hot tub for those who preferred to relax with a view of the lake. The path from the house to the lake is only a slight slope and easy to maneuver which was important for the grandparents. We prepared all our meals in the kitchen and utilized the grill daily. The large dining room table was a great gathering spot and can seat 10 comfortably. We would love to return next year!"
