Recent Reviews in Hiawassee

The Ridges Resort on Lake Chatuge

10/10 Excellent

"This is a lovely, small resort on Lake Chatuge in north Georgia. We had a lakeview, king room which was clean and spacious. Excellent shower and coffee maker. The only drawback was some mold in the shower due, probably, to fan not working. We had a small deck overlooking the lake. There is a beautiful pool on property, but it needs repair on tiles. Clean with lots of umbrellas and comfortable seating. There is an excellent restaurant that serves only dinner during the week and a pricey coffee kiosk in the main lobby. They had fire put with s’more offerings each evening. No real breakfast options on site during our stay. The resort is well located near restaurants, boating and swimming areas as well as golf courses. About 7 minutes outside of downtown Hiawassee. We’ll be back."
