Hightower Haven, Romantic Getaway, Creek, Mountain View, Cozy Cottage, Fire pit

You will love the romantic charm of Hightower Haven. It is the perfect mountain getaway! Slip away from reality with a trip to our cottage located in a valley with beautiful views of the Blue Ridge Mountains. You will be reminded of a simpler time when life was lived at a slower pace while enjoying all of today's amenities.

The cottage sleeps 4 adults comfortably with queen beds in both bedrooms and 1 full bath. Relax in the rocking chairs on the front porch or listen to the mountain stream while you unwind on the back deck. You will find the kitchen fully equipped, as well as a gas grill outside, outdoor dining area and fire pit. Enjoy all the conveniences of home including high-speed wifi, 2 satellite televisions and washer/dryer.

Hightower Haven is approximately 15 minutes from downtown Hiawassee, 25 minutes to Clayton, and 30 minutes to Helen. Nearby attractions include Lake Chatuge, Lake Burton, hiking (5 minutes from the Appalachian Trail), biking, waterfalls, fishing, wine tasting at local vineyards (Hightower Creek Vineyards 2.6mi), antique shopping, Georgia Mountain Fairgrounds, Bell Mountain, Bald Mountain, and a short drive to Harrah's Cherokee Valley River Casino (35mi) in Murphy, NC.

Romantic Mountain Getaway

This cottage is adorable and so clean. A peaceful, relaxing haven for sure! So comfy inside with a cozy electric fireplace. Very enjoyable just sitting outside on the front or back porch, with the creek running along the back and the firepit. Even had skewers for roasting marshmallows & outdoor games (played cornhole)! Great location too! We will definitely stay there again!

The Best Around

Hightower Haven and Lisa are the Best! It's like a VRBO commercial, when we stay there, it's like our home. We are so comfortable there. Beside a creek, nature, inside decor, outside wonderful flora and fauna! Love the design of the garden outside. Could not ask for a more accommodating venue or hosts! The best!

Perfect romantic getaway!!

We spent our anniversary weekend at Hightower Haven. We really enjoyed our stay here, it was extremely clean and felt like home. The gift basket with a personalized anniversary card was super cute and made my day!! The only complaint we have is that we didn’t have more time to stay and enjoy everything this super cute cottage has to offer! We will definitely be back when can stay longer and take advantage of this wonderful cottage, location, hosts, and amazing views!!!!!

Hikers love soft beds, hot showers and clean laundry. This place delivers all…

This is a cute and cozy cottage, tucked away on a quiet country lane. We had such a relaxing time and the property exceeded our needs in every way. We were in the area to complete the Georgia section of the Appalachian trail and our final day of hiking ended just a couple miles up the road. The shower had great pressure and plenty of hot water. Bed were super comfy and the laundry room was perfect. So happy to have found such a nice place to stay and would recommend to fellow hikers as well as anyone looking for a peaceful place to stay in Hiawassee.

Hightower was perfect

Every little detail was taken care of by Lisa and Randall. The listing is accurate and the setting of the cottage is ideal for someone looking for relaxing out of the noise of the city. The stream running in the back is another great feature. We enjoyed the fire pit (made some s'mores) and had everything we needed in hand.

Great cottage and perfect location

We love this area is Hiawassee so much! The house was very clean, super cute and had all the conveniences of home!! House is 15 min to the town of Hiawassee and 30 min to Helen. Lake Chatuge is our favorite lake, we spent lots of time there. Rent a boat at Boundary’s, awesome people. We saw several deer on property. Owners were quick to respond. Wi-Fi worked great. Cellular in the area is spotty which is expected.

Perfection

My brother and I enjoyed this home so much! It reminded us of much simpler, slower times. The home is decorated so nice! May sound strange to some but one of our favorite features was the back screened door. Made us think of our grandparents. The brook is magical. We had coffee on the porch each morning and enjoyed the sounds of the water flowing. The flowers in the front are so beautiful. Thought I'd mention there are not ceiling fans in the bedrooms. I know alot of people sleep with fans on. There was a small desk fan in the smaller bedroom but not the larger bedroom. I recommend this home 1,000%. Thank you to the owners for allowing others to enjoy.
