Hiawassee House for Rent: Luxury pet-friendly home in the heart of Georgia's Blue Ridge Mountains - Property 128797

Trout fishing in adjacent creeks: There are accessible creeks close by the property, great for both serious fishing and for kids to learn the sport. There is an easy walk through deep woods and alongside the creek in the Swallow Creek Wildlife Management Area just a minute's drive away.

So much to do, so little time!: Hightower House is at the hub of an area with extensive activities and places to visit. We are still discovering new things to do each time we stay. Many places are within a 15 to 20 minute drive, while less than an hour will take you to three more States (Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina), the Foxfire center, white water rafting and plenty more. Just to whet your appetite, close by are boating on Lake Chatuge, river tube riding, alpine Helen, the Fieldstone Fun Center and movie theater, Brasstown Bald (Georgia's highest mountain), scenic drives through the Smokey Mountains and wildlife preserves, golf, nature trails (including the Appalachian Trail), trout fishing, antique shopping galore, and winter snow-tubing. For a few hours at home, we have a pool table, air hockey and PS2.

The town of Hiawassee - eating out: Hiawassee town, just five minutes by car from Hightower House, has everything you need to complete your perfect vacation. A large Ingles supermarket will provide you with everything to stock the kitchen for meals at home, while there is a range of places to eat out. Daniels Steak House, The Rose, and the Mountain Kitchen offer great casual evening dining, and there are also good Italian and Mexican restaurants, while Watercrest at the Fieldstone Center is a more formal restaurant. There are several great local places for breakfast and lunch, including the very popular Mossy Bottoms cafe. There are also all the main fast food outlets - Macdonalds, Dairy Queen, Taco Bell, KFC, etc.
