We stayed at this house at the end of February. Was very comfortable and centrally located in Hiawassee, close to restaurants and stores. We would definitely recommend this house for your next visit to Hiawassee.
Great property and a great place to visit. We would highly recommend this property to anyone coming to the area. The next time we visit, we will definitely book this property again.
The house was very nice, clean, well stocked, and homey. We enjoyed the lake view, the easy walk to the lake, the fire pit, even the neighbors were nice. The house was close to stores, attractions and even the pickleball courts.
We really enjoyed this property….it was in town and convenient to all things!!! The Best part was being able to bring our dog…she loved the back screened in porch!!! This house has plenty of space and we felt secure with other houses/people around us!! Owners were a phone text/call away which was super nice!!! Would definitely stay here AGAIN 😊
This home is in a perfect location. The host provided a very clean, comfortable home with a great view of the lake and mountains. Every detail was excellent. A five star host and property.
Whenever we are @ 605 Waterview, we feel like we’re home Very friendly neighborhood, great location, beautiful view, clean and nice property! Great Host!

It's a comortable and clean property with a convenient location. Downside, renters not cleaning up after dogs outside.
We stayed in town to be near family and it was nice and convenient to have this house that we all had room to work some in and also relax in. House is in a nice neighborhood with views of the lake and mountains.
The house was nice and comfortable. Especially enjoyed the porch. The house was clean except that the refrigerator was not cleaned and trash was left in trash cans in bathrooms. Outside area was also very nice.
We enjoyed our stay at this property. It was conveniently located to downtown Hiawassee and very close to the Georgia Mountain Fairgrounds. We stayed here specifically to go to the Fall Festival at the fairgrounds. The neighborhood was quiet and we enjoyed walking down by the water. The house was clean and comfortable. We would stay here again and recommend it to others to stay there.
Spring, Summer, and Fall, we love to return to this Waterside Home in Hiawassee. This VRBO is 5 star clean and comfortable, right in the heart of town. The View of Mountains and Lake Chatuge affords relaxation and beauty. The Hosts go out of their way to make us feel welcomed!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The view of the lake from the inside of the house was minimal compared to our expectations, but still, a very nice screened in porch. Everything was clean and well organized.
Only needed more toilet paper, paper towel and shower soap and laundry detergent for a one week stay. We would stay again!
We enjoyed our stay! The house was very clean and comfortable. Super convenient to downtown Hiawassee. Limited view from the back porch. We didn’t use the large side yard with fire pit as there is no seating. It would be nice for dogs and kids. I would defiantly rent this house again!
As advertised, great location close to everything in quiet neighborhood. Kitchen was well stocked. Plenty of seating in living room. Beds were comfortable. Only negative-no cleaning supplies, which was relevant for long stays like ours. Would definitely return and recommend.
The property was very clean and very comfortable. The view was awesome. The weather was not the best so we had to stay inside the whole trip but it was so nice and comfortable. The one thing that I would recommend would be to have more towels and wash cloths and toilet tissue. We had to purchase theses
This was the perfect Thanksgiving vacation spot for our family! It was a beautiful home close to Lake Chatuge & close to stores, restaurants & -finally-a home as advertised! I’m disabled & this home is on1level with a gorgeous handicap accessible huge shower! Elegantly furnished with very comfortable rooms/beds. The kitchen is gorgeous & had everything we needed to cook the Thanksgiving fixings we got at Ingles! The huge lake is beautiful and the Ga, Tn, Nc mountains are close by! Owners are very responsive! We are already planning our next visit on spring break! Thank you, Kevin & Evelyn for sharing your vacation home!
We were meeting to enjoy Christmas together and from time we entered your home it was perfect, we travel Alot an I don't normally leave a review but from the clean comfortable beds all way to the quiet friendly neighborhood this house was beautiful and a Wonderful Memory of a great family holiday. We really could not find a thing wrong with it but aLot wonderful about it. Thank you to the host who was patient with every question I had an was gracious with a few my mistakes. God bless you❤️ if you want a restful beautiful get away book
this home!
We love the house and the location. 1 block from the lake. 5 minutes to the boat ramp. The owners are really nice and accommodating. We where able to check in early. The bedroom/bed is comfortable and roomy. My only gripe is, they need to upgrade there sofa’s , they are old and tend to slip when you sit. We had bad back pain, but we stayed in the house for over a month. Overall the neighborhood and location is great. This was our second year staying there. Would love to see new sofa’s if I am to return next year
We’ve been coming to Hiawassee to visit our grandchildren for several years and have stayed in many different types of cabins and homes. But never like the home of Kevin and Evelyn. It was perfect! Beautifully furnished, and well kept. It was so much larger than the pictures show, a great yard with a phenomenal view of the lake and so privately situated.
The housekeeping was immaculate and stocked with all of the essentials. The AC and heating system was great and so efficient which could really ruin your vacation quick! I have to say, we have finally found our home away from home. Thank You so much for the love and care you have put in to you lovely home. It truly shows and blessed us with the best stay ever…
With much Respect and Appreciation.
