Very clean cabin and somewhat remote location
It was better than average but still had a few things that could have been better! The claim that yard dogs are welcome is not what was claimed when renting. The dogs could be indoors and limited to 2 with maximum weight of 25 lbs. each. We had 1 dog at 15 lbs and we would never let her stay outside, particularly at this location.

Cute and clean
The cabin was cute and clean but lacked a working tv in the bedrooms. The view was pretty but the yard was a little rougher terrain than described and muddy. The clay was everywhere. We brought our dogs with us- BUT due to the many unleashed roaming neighborhood dogs, we could not walk them safely in the neighborhood, which was very disappointing. We had to drive into Hiawassee to take them to the parks in order for them to get any exercise. There was pet friendly dining in town and down in Helen.

Hiking the AT
The location for hiking the Appalachian trail was perfect. The house had a large living area, and the kitchen had everything you need. Unfortunately, we were unable to add apps to the TV as a code was required and the host was unable to give us the code or add the app, even though we would use our credentials. Also, the code to enter the house is 10 digits long and it took several times to get it to work and it had to be changed twice. The host was very responsive to the issue, so we didn't have to stay outside for more than 15 minutes.

Wonderful and peaceful stay on Hiawassee
Our stay was too short. It was so peaceful and comfortable here, that we wished we could have stayed longer. The house has everything you need and we loved the decor. Super clean too!

Pictures don't do it justice.
Was lovely sitting on the porch watching the leaves fall. Beautiful home and property. Highly recommend. May need 4 wheel drive in winter, weather depending.
