We had a great family trip with our adult children and their significant others. We loved the view from the cabin. We enjoyed a few fires in the evening and the town of Hiawassee and surrounding area with so much to do including kayaking on the lake, a hike to the waterfall at Vogel State Park, Brasstown Bald (even though it was not a clear day), a trip to Helen and music bingo at the Hiawassee Brewery a few minutes down the road was fun. My personal favorite was the Living Waters Winery in Blairsville with gorgeous views and, of course, the Travis Tritt concert at the Hiawassee Fairgrounds!! Some other favorites were the Sand Bar and Marine Station for adult beverages and apps. The neighborhood was peaceful, and we liked that you could not see the neighbors next to us (although sometimes we could hear dogs barking in the distance). I would love to come back again. A gas/propane grill on the outside upper deck would be an added bonus in addition to the charcoal grill by the firepit.
