Vacation rentals with a fireplace in Hiawassee

We loved the location.We came up for my 50th class reunion at YHC and it was within walking distance. My sister and her husband came up as well and it was their 57th. The kitchen had everything you needed. They left a nice welcoming note. Easy to check in door was unlocked and ready. Loved the Master Bath. It had a very warm home feeling. Nancy and David are very nice and wonderful to work with. We would definitely book again.

This was the best rental that my family has ever booked. My husband was very impressed with the decor and the cleanliness of the rental. I contacted the host to ask for an extra day after finding out that our games had been scheduled for a later time. The host responded within minutes and fortunately the place was available for another night. We will most definitely stay here again.

We enjoyed a relaxing 3 night stay in Bobby and Dina’s beautiful, river house and they were the perfect hosts! They were very responsive to questions and even offered area suggestions including a wonderful local butcher, for our BBQ night on the deck, listening to the peaceful sounds of the river. This home had everything we needed to prepare meals, very clean and tastefully decorated. We highly recommend this home for your trip to the Murphy area and would love to return when we have more time to fish & kayak!

Mario's place is a true mountain hideaway. Rustic and comfy with enough bathrooms for a large family. Big living room to gather in, and spacey enough to get some time to yourself if needed. The place is well-stocked and clean. The vibe is clutter free and relaxed, homey and spacious. Woodsy with lots of birdsong and no neighbors within sight of the house except way down the mountain far away. There wasn't really anything we needed that we didn't find...extra blankets and pillows, toilet paper, paper towels, shampoo, etc. There was even a chalk marker to mark our initials on our water bottles. Really can't say enough great things about this stay, and don't have anything negative to say. Mario is an excellent host and really flexible, with very few rules other than to respect his property. Highly recommend all the way around!

Beautiful, amazing and perfect for a getaway with friends or romantic stay. Architecturally stunning. Great example of mid-century modern with lots of cut outs, glass and details. Not for the mobile challenged (stairs and a bit of a walk from the car parking) and lots of glass (you give some privacy with other house mates) so if that is not your thing, I wouldn't recommend it. Very quiet except when you open the doors to the waterfall. First day, some water cascading over but after a rain it was all white and mesmerizing. Beds are small but very comfortable. I was able to cook some great meals and they had a lot of items you don't always have, like aluminum foil. Took the hosts recommendation for a vineyard (distillery was the highlight) and a stop in Toccoa, GA. Just book it and enjoy.

A last minute get away with the kids to do some kayaking and paddle boarding. Beautiful and peaceful clean lake. House very homey and comfortable. And we had no issues, but carrying kayaks and gear down that full stretch of steep stairs could be daunting. Definitely got a lot of stair steps in! The dock was awesome and well worth it.

Great stay. Yvette and Luis thought of everything! Clean and well equipped with everything one could need. So many great and well thought out amenities. Highly recommend.

We had such a great vacation at Olga’s place! She’s a great host ever, who provided with clear instruction how to get to property without any hassles and time consuming process. Check in was super easy. Once we entered the house we loved it from the very first step. Also liked convenient two-ways get in to the second floor, one from inside stairs, another -from outside steps. Everything was ready to welcoming us and so convenient to stay. Ideally working TV and internet. Comfortable rooms, beds and bathrooms. Some indoor playful amenities like pool table, mini soccer and even a basketball for kids. Washer and dryer, toiletries, hair dryer and iron are provided. Great outdoor area including gas grill, fire pit and chairs for relaxing and enjoying natural forest silence. Clean kitchen well-equipped with all necessary utensils, pots, pans, dishes, cutting boards. We just enjoyed every day staying in this nice cozy cabin. Olga also provided with list of must see places. Thank you!

Would definitely recommend this cabin. Super convenient to Helen, easy access, not too far up the slopes, and easy exit with the lower driveway. This is not a luxury cabin. It is compact and enough for a couple and a pet. But the value for the stay is spot on, Roy is super awesome, and I would stay again.

It was an easy walk to downtown, but still felt like you were away enough from the downtown. We enjoyed sitting at the river reading with our books and having a fire. She left us some sweet treats and firewood. Very relaxing and enjoyable. Highly reccommend

Don and the rental were fantastic. I can only wish that every Air BnB was done this well. Water on every table. The bathroom had everything you might have forgotten. The fridge had soda and water in it. Even had a Smores setup for the firepit outside. I will be back here regularly and Don's place will always be my first choice. Dons hospitality was world class. It is very hard to find genuine hospitality and Don hit it off the mountain.

This cute little downstairs apartment was perfect for our anniversary trip! It’s a great space for two people to relax and enjoy each other’s company. We spent our mornings on the porch swing drinking coffee and at night would head into town to eat at the recommended restaurants. The place was cute, homey, and had amazing views of the mountains!

The resort is lovely! It’s a nice get away. Just keep in mind cell service is limited in this area! It’s beautiful. 😍

I’ve been coming to Helen for twenty years. In that time, I have stayed in many places - some good, some great, some I make a note of not staying at again. Usually I am there just a few days, but at the end of a long school year (I am a teacher), I settled on a whole week. I saw Russ’ place and was familiar with the area. I know it’s ideally-situated when it comes to Helen to Hardman (I am a runner), as well as to the town of Helen itself. Close enough, but also far enough away to not feel touristy. So I tried somewhere new. I am so glad I did. My husband works remotely; so we needed reliable WiFi. Prior to arriving, I reached out to confirm we’d be okay, and Russ was responsive. And quickly. When we arrived, instructions were easy to follow - and checking in was a breeze. The place had everything we needed - and if we wondered about anything else, Russ was there to help. From recommendations to just checking in to see how we were, I knew we found somewhere special. Grateful to Russ!

It's a great place. Clean on the inside. you can leave and walk anywhere you want it's close to everything. l would stay there again.

The place was honestly a bit smaller than I had expected, but it was my first time ever renting Airbnb so I didn’t even read descriptions before renting, so that’s on me. Everything felt pretty comfy and my favorite part was definitely the sound of the river at night, gives an extremely peaceful vibe to the stay. It’s also a great location to find waterfalls for those wanting to hike. Excellent location, would definitely rent again.

Great stay great host beautiful location.

Great place, good management, and reasonable prices. Barely interacted with the owners, which was ideal for my group. You are trusted to check in and out without supervision. The location is beautiful, and there are PLENTY of beds.

We highly enjoyed our stay. The kitchen is well stocked for cooking. We enjoyed the covered screened in porch, as it rained for much of our stay. The property is beautiful and in a great location. Damien is helpful and friendly and responded quickly. Overall this is one of the nicer Air Bnb's we have stayed in. We will definitely be back and stay at one of his properties in the future.

The Villa was located in a beautiful, gated community with lots to do: hiking, swimming, tennis, golf, pickle ball, etc. The decor upstairs was fun travel memorabilia, and downstairs in the bedrooms, it was serene and relaxing. The Villa was very comfy, and we felt right at home!

My family enjoyed a long, relaxing weekend at Craig's Encore at the end of Lake Nantahala. We have stayed in many places, and this home was truly exceptional with every detail considered. We enjoyed watching Lake Nantahala change throughout the day, paddled in the kayaks, swam, soaked in the hot tub, relaxed and had fun outings renting a boat one day and tubing down the Nantahala River the next. It was truly memorable, and the only drawback was the long drive in over gravel, but that's what makes it so peaceful and remote. The lake was never busy and such a big change from so many crowded and touristed spots. We hope we made a good impression and will be welcomed back. This is truly a loved and cherished family home, and we appreciate Craig sharing it with us.

We had 14 women for a weekend getaway. The property is just as the photos indicate., stunning! The river is a distance away but you can hear the rush of the river clearly. The walk down to the river is not “ a walk in the park” it is a nicely cleared path down a mountainside with ropes at the steepest parts with a nice layer of gravel which helps. They provide walking sticks for 10, and I found the one I used to be very helpful ( 64 y.o.) The kitchen was well equipped and made it easy to prepare for 14 people. The living areas were very comfortable and the dining area was spectacular. The sofa beds were, well sofa beds. I probably wouldn’t plan for us to use those for adults again, but that is literally the only “con” I could find because everything else was just perfect!

Great stay at Joseph's place, as always. Thank you!

We will definitely be back. Love, Love, Love Jeanna’s Place! It was beautiful and very clean! The yard was peaceful and had total retreat vibes. We were in town for work and it was so great coming back to such a restful sanctuary in the evening. The only thing to keep in mind is you do have to take your trash bags to the local recycling center so you have to be sure to plan your schedule around their operating hours.
