Chatuge Fish Retreat

This is a great house and location for our family looking for lake fun and relaxation. The dock is amazing; the porch was lovely; and the driveway is daunting. Our young adult children loved the privacy of the bedrooms in the basement. We all loved being able to bring our dog. We also loved the easy access to nearby restaurants and breweries, as well as great hiking.

A great place to visit, not far from everything. I needed some much needed peace and quite from home and this place was the solution. Quite, peaceful and so calming. It is a place that you not not need to pick up your phone every 10 minutes. I will going back. I absolutely will be staying there again. Thank you so much for the experience.

Manager's Response

This vacation home was great for our family! We loved the lake and the kids stayed in it from sunrise to sunset. Thank you for letting us stay in your home! We cant wait to come back

Manager's Response

This is our third summer renting here- for over a week each time. It’s always been a fabulous stay for boating, fishing, and swimming. Our twin boys love it and stay entertained catching fish and swimming. We love the cooler weather and huge shaded porch with perfect views!

Manager's Response

Great location with an excellent view of the lake. Only wish I had packed fishing equipment to fish right from the dock!!

Manager's Response

Stay with family (7 adults 1 child). Everyone enjoyed the stay. Had no issues with property. View is great. Area is private and quiet. Didn’t need to contact manager, because we had no issues. Just followed directions and regulations provided. I would highly recommend this property. Thanks guys.

Manager's Response

Just returned from a fantastic stay at this house! It's spacious and just as advertised! We spent every evening on the dock and loved jumping into the lake and even just floating! It's just a few minutes away from Boundary Waters where we rented a boat (easy to get to this house from the boat dock), and just a few minutes from town for dinners. The only snafu is the steep driveway. We had a truck and it was fine - just had to go slow - but may be steep for people who don't have a truck or aren't comfortable manuevering! They had pots and pans, utencils, plates, bowls. cups and also left two dishwasher pods which was great! Only thing I wished they had was salt and pepper! I would go back in a heart beat! We loved it! Thanks for great memories!

The cabin was awesome and the view was spectacular. The driveway was so steep but everything else was awesome.

Manager's Response

The house is spacious and clean. Views are amazing. Had a great time on the lake.

Manager's Response

We had a great time on our trip! The views of the lake & mountains were beautiful! The private dock was fun; we brought a paddleboard & went out on the water (couldn't find any oars for the canoe at the house though). The house had a good layout; rooms & bathrooms were nice, and the back porch was big & enjoyable (the outdoor furniture could use some cleaning/dusting). The hot tub worked great, and there were nice views from there as well. Only a couple things to mention, the driveway was definitely a steep downhill & a bit intimidating, but we made it down & up (a 3rd car would have been a problem). The decking & steps could use some work; you need to watch your step in some areas. Last thing, the wifi password provided in the folder of info is wrong, but it's listed on the router. Thank you for a great time!

Manager's Response

We needed a long weekend to de-tech and relax as a family and this home helped us accomplish that. Thank you for sharing your lake property on VRBO.

Manager's Response

We had a blast on our 5 day getaway to the beautiful mountains! The cabin had everything we needed and the hot top was an extra treat! But the best was definitely the view from the top floor! Breathtaking! We never watched so many sunrises and sunsets in the mountains before! Definitely will be back next year!

Manager's Response

The large glass windows were dirty and had a lot of spider webs all over, as well as the ceilings. There are dead shrubs near the hot tub and some weeds that have grown up around lower deck. Backyard area could use some attention. All and all still a great stay!

Manager's Response

Perfect location and unforgettable experience! Great place to stay.

Manager's Response

We all loved this retreat, lovely spacious home that is set on a scenic lake. Great views, with a private dock that's perfect for all ages.

Manager's Response

We thoroughly enjoyed our time here at this property! It was as described and did not disappoint!

Manager's Response

Great vacation!

Manager's Response

Really enjoyed our stay. AC was out on lower level but Ana quickly attended to the problem and had it repaired the next day. She was very friendly and assisted us when we called.

Manager's Response

We loved this house on beautiful Lake Chatuge. The house is located in a somewhat secluded area away from lake traffic. We were able to kayak and paddle board without interruption. We’re definitely returning!

Manager's Response

I have rented the Lake Chatuge Fish Retreat house twice now this summer and have had a wonderful experience with Enchanted Mountain Retreats! The house itself was great - clean, comfortable, updated, with a lot of comforts of home. AnaLuisa at Enchanted helped me get everything situated before we came. I emailed her after the first trip with a few small things that needed to be fixed in the house and the next time we came 3 weeks later, everything had been fixed! She called me after the trip to make sure everything was satisfactory too. Great experience and I wouldn't hesitate to rent from them again!

Manager's Response

Wow, this place was heaven! The views the water. The comfort of the cabin. I had an emergency and had to leave towards the end, the owner was SO understanding about me having A ton of gear there to the side. She was so kind about it all. We were able to bring my sweet dog as well. He had a blast!! There's a great road to walk on with woods all around. The dog smiled the whole time when he wasn't zonked out. I hope I'm able to come back. So wonderful

Manager's Response

Its was amazing !!!

Manager's Response

The location was perfect. However, the condition of the deck and dock left a lot to be desired. There were several safety hazards present. Luckily, we don’t have small children. While the inside was redone, some of the work was not what I would consider “complete”. There are areas where painting seems to have been forgotten. It was still a great location and nice weekend get away!

Manager's Response

We have stayed here 3 summers in a row for over a week each time. We love it! Our kids love the swimming and fishing. We love the giant shaded porch, cooler temps, and perfect views.

Manager's Response

Had a wonderful relaxing long weekend The house was beautiful, and the views spectacular

Manager's Response

The owners went out of their way to make us feel welcome and informed. Have you from the deck is amazing. You can see the lake in all its glory.

Manager's Response

Excellent view! The adult beds were extremely comfortable. Had everything we needed.

Manager's Response

Beautiful property and lovely location. The home was perfect for our stay.

Manager's Response

Cons:
The house was nice on the inside but needs repairs on the outside.
The Internet worked for 1 day out of 5.
The TV only had option for steaming, could not get a football game on during Thanksgiving.
No trash bags, were supplied
The washer machine had mold in the drum ring.
Couch was old and needs to be replaced. Horrible to sit in.
Icemaker had black particles that would stick to the ice cubes. Needs to be cleaned.
Driveway was extremely steep, not suitable for cars. I was luck I had a 4Runner with good clearance.

Pros:
BBQ grill was clean and worked great.
Hot tub was clean and worked great.
Fishing was AWESOME.
Bedrooms were clean and updated.
Bathrooms were clean and updated.

We had a wonderful family trip staying in this home for my son's 30th birthday. Beds were very comfortable, kitchen was a nice size we made several family dinners. Overall, we had a great trip!

Manager's Response

Very easy process, owners were very responsive and helpful. We had a wonderful stay!

Manager's Response

Location is just unreal! We enjoy ourselves every year here.

Manager's Response

Over all we had a great time. The house was not as clean as expected, No extra towels or sheets.the house needs more attention to maintenance.The drive way was very steep and parking was limited. The view was great over looking the lake

Manager's Response

Second vacation here and had another amazing time.
Anna Louise, the property manager worked magic to get one of the ac units
Back up and running within hours. Thank you for that!
The fish camp cabin is roomy, but could use some up grades and a little TLC? All in all, good times.

Manager's Response

This was a beautiful property and great location. We brought our jet skis up and had a great time playing on the lake. The only downfall would be if you have more then one car I would not recommend trying to pull the trailer down into the driveway. The views from the back patio are breath taking. The house was well stocked with all of your needs.

Manager's Response

We throughly enjoyed our stay here, upon arrival, the owner contacted to check on us due to weather- that was very sweet of her. When we got there, the driveway was a little intimidating lol but all was good! The house was clean, as far ad surface clean, and was very spacious, comfy furniture and smelled fine. It could have definitely used a deep clean (mop, dust, wipe down stained blinds) but overall was good. The deck chairs were dry rotted & one of our guys fell when sat, but wasn’t hurt. I think the outside could have been hosed down, there was plenty of spider webs, funk/dust, just as suggestions, but we really enjoyed our time here. Beds were clean & comfy - & house had all amenities needed! :) We would stay here again!

Manager's Response

We had a wonderful stay. Ana was fantastic and very responsive to our questions/needs.

Was a great place for a relaxing weekend

Manager's Response

We stayed for our Thanksgiving break and absolutely loved this home. The lake was so peaceful even though we had no luck catching any fish. The home had absolutely everything we needed for our perfect Thanksgiving stay.

Manager's Response

We love visiting Hiawasee and this was our second stay at this awesome cabin. We’ll be back again soon!

Manager's Response

Great spot and location. Lovely deck views and well appointed home.

Manager's Response

We had no issues. Great stay. Property is quiet and private. We all enjoyed our stay. Loved the lake and view. Highly recommended. Book this property.

Manager's Response

Amazing location on the lake. House could and should be taken care of better. Simple fixes and updates should be done. One being the dock and walkway. Overall cleanliness of home was not great. Windows need cleaning, floors turned our feet black, and showers were dirty. Overall it’s still a great stay and the layout is perfect for multiple families to enjoy a vacation together. We had a wonderful time.

Quiet cove with a beautiful view, can’t beat it! Overall cleanliness.. not great but doable. Not all amenities listed were available, an example would be the canoe. Otherwise great stay and lay out for family getaway!

Manager's Response

Serene setting, great porch and comfortable home

Manager's Response

A wonderful location, on a beautiful clean lake. Short runs to different picturesque waterfalls. The pups had as good of time as we did. The rental accommodated nine of us plus the pups and we still had ample room to relax play games and mingle. With four bathrooms that accommodated all quite easily

Manager's Response

This was our 3rd time staying at this cabin. We always enjoy the location and the layout of the rooms, the large covered deck, and excellent dock for fishing and swimming are highlights. This year we noticed a couple of broken chairs (folding ones for outside), the kitchen trash can lid was broken, and a little less "spring cleaning" had been done to the deck and outside areas. However, these things do not diminish our overall experience and we look forward to returning again in the future.

House was beautifully renovated and perfect for our family of five. Kids enjoyed having their own space downstairs. Our puppy enjoyed running around the property and down to the lake to see the ducks. We enjoyed the serene views of the lake and mountains.

Manager's Response

We stayed there for 4 night, we had a blast with a perfect weather for the holidays season. location was great only 30 min from Helen and one hour from blue ridge. Looking forward to come back during summer time.

Manager's Response

beautiful view and access to the lake. Very convenient location. Really need to warn non mountain individuals of the driveway access as this could be a real turnoff for some folks. cleaning an upkeep of the place is lacking in general.

Overall we had a wonderful weekend at the home - it has gorgeous views, big windows to look out and the view from the hot tub can’t be beat! We had one issue with cleanliness of sheets but Ana was quick to assist.Layout of the home was great though and open kitchen allowed for socializing.

Manager's Response

We loved the lake and playing with the kids and dogs on the water was fabulous. We have excellent experience and be back soon.

Manager's Response

The location of the home is great but the driveway is very steep. Its doable but scary. Everything was clean and working properly, however. Need very careful on the walkway going to the house. There is a step that blends in with the boards and hard to see. I fell down the step and hurt my knee. It is camouflaged and hard to see. Other than that, this is a nice getaway home. The views are gorgeous.

Booked this sweet cabin on Lake Chatuge for a family weekend with daughters & their husbands. This cabin was perfect fir us. Beds are so comfortable. Lovely soft sheets & plush towels. Evenings on the huge porch enjoying the great view we’re amazing. Highly recommend this property. Only suggestion fir improvement would be a new set of sharp knives

Manager's Response

Had a wonderful family visit to this cabin. Owners were very communicative, and location (only about 2 hours from Brookhaven) was ideal. Great spot.

Manager's Response

It was Ok. Beds had hair.We had to wash sheets. Shower rugs dirty. Outside porch need washing and cleaning. Wrap around porch dirty.

Rustic cottage. Good views. We had fun.

Loved this cabin! Beautiful views and loved the cabin! Great for family and kids l.

Manager's Response

This home is wonderful! The bedding is fabulous, the space of the home is more than enough. We had 6 adults and were very comfortable. The view is magnificent! I would suggest a car with 4-wheel drive just because of the steep driveway. We can’t wait to stay here again. We’ve been coming to the area for 30 years and this is the best property we have stayed.

I have been staying with Ana for 5 years now she is a super nice lady she makes booking and check in super easy.I can't brag enough about the lake house Chatuge the house is on the lake and has its own dock we love staying here ! It has a GREAT master shower. If you have kids its perfect the master is on the main and there are 3 bedrooms and 2baths downstairs. The house is always spotless and the hot tub is always perfect!!!

Manager's Response

We enjoyed family time together at the cabin which was well stocked and clean. We appreciated the fire wood which was supplied for cozy fires. Beds were all comfortable. ( bunk beds were not as comfortable according to our guest). Towels were soft and luxurious and the kitchen ware was beautiful. There was a steep driveway to get down to the cabin which was a little scary due to the heavy rain we were having. The water was down due to the season but the view was still good. We appreciated the 2 king bedroom suites

Manager's Response

Perfect

Manager's Response

We, ourselves and son and DIL, had a wonderful 4 day stay at this property! The dog had the best time swimming and chasing the Canada geese, who pretty much laughed at his attempts! The house was beautifully updated, clean, the bedrooms where very large, and the views were breathtaking!
Two cautions: If you are elderly or incapacitated, the climb to the lake dock is very long (as the pictures illustrate), and tough coming back up, and the land around the property is very steep, so bear that in mind. Also, there is only seating for 5 on the couch and love seat, so if more are in your party, bring lawn chairs!
Ana Luisa was always ready to answer your call. All in all, a spectacular stay!!

Manager's Response

Our group of 7 (2 families) enjoyed our stay. Nice welcome basket upon arrival. Well equipped kitchen with everything you need to prepare a meal. Linens we're of good quality and the beds were comfortable. Kids parents alike enjoyed the hot tub. The only negative is that the driveway is VERY steep. Fortunately we had trucks, but if I had driven my Civic I don't believe it would have made it down the driveway and you cannot park on the road as it is one lane.

Manager's Response

We all really enjoyed our stay

The home was perfect to gather with friends. The only suggestion I would have would be for more lighting in the kitchen area, but not a big deal.

We've rented this house 2 years in a row. It's a great house, the process was easy, and the lake access is awesome. Just one tiny suggestion to add a small TV in the master bedroom upstairs. That's all.

Manager's Response

We had an amazing vacation on Lake Chatuge with boating the entire 31 miles of shoreline from Georgia to North Carolina. We also enjoyed a tour up the mountain on horseback at the Chunky gal stable in Hayesville, NC and the grand finale was Ocoee river white water rafting in Tennessee. We could not have asked for a better trip. The house has perfect views of the mountain and lakeside, Perfect water for swimming. The driveway is steep downward!!!

Manager's Response

We had a blast at the cabin, very quite and relaxing. Only problem was the AC on the top floor was very poor, hard to sleep at night with it 80 in the room, otherwise very pleased with our stay.

Manager's Response

we had a only gonna stay for 2 days and ended up staying from Friday to Friday. They were a great company to rent your escape from.

Manager's Response

We really liked the home. It was pretty, clean, and well stocked with essentials. Big Issue: DRIVEWAY! 2017 Buick Enclave barely made it up-took several attempts and no ice or snow. Small issues: poor lighting in living area and no TV in living area-maybe these are not issues in summertime, but in winter, something to consider.

Manager's Response

Wasn't our first choice, but turned out to be very nice. The house is very spacious and kept us warm on some chilly nights. Only downside is no television in a common area only in two of the bedrooms.

Manager's Response

We absolutely loved our vacation at Chatuge Retreat. Perfect location, beautiful home, very clean and spacious. We are already planning our return!

Manager's Response

We had such a great time at this house. Beautiful views and the house was nicely furnished and updated. The beds were very comfortable as well. We had a lot of kids with us and they loved it also. Would definitely come back to stay at this house!

Manager's Response

This was one of the easiest rental experiences I've had. The staff was responsive and thorough. The home was exactly as described. The interior was a complete upgrade in every room. The only tiny suggestion I'd add is to put a TV in the family room. There are 2 in the bedrooms but none in the gathering area where we would have used it more! Everything else was perfect!!

Manager's Response

Excellent home. Would love to go back
