A PERFECT SETTING FOR YOUR GET-AWAY!

Peaking out from among tall timbers that line the lazy Hiawassee River, just as it yawns and empties out into the sparkling waters of Lake Chatuge, you'll find one of Hiawassee's most welcoming getaways; fittingly named "Bend of the River".  Bring your boat or rent from one of the nearby marinas and tie up to the dock just down the steps from your back porch.  There's a rustic little fire pit where you can grill your catch of the day, or you may wish to use one of the gas grills provided for your convenience.  Relax on the deck each morning and watch the sunrise over the lake and return to observe as it comes to rest behind the lavender mountains in the cool evening hours.  Enjoy end -of-the-road privacy with ample parking, gently rolling lawns, gardens, wooded trails and wildflowers, and the gentle whisper of the wind through the pines, lulling you to sleep at night.  Just imagine, all of this and still only 10 minutes from town, shopping, churches, restaurants and entertainment. 

FLEXIBLE FLOOR PLANS

Careful thought and planning went into the complete remodel of this sprawling lakefront chalet; providing several options to accommodate couples or groups of up to 19.  Each side of the chalet opens out to a common entry foyer on the main level and has a complete & separate upper and lower unit.  On one side, there are 3 bedrooms and 2 baths above, with 1 queen on the main and another queen and a double bed on the upper loft.  The lower level on this side has 2 bedrooms, one with a queen and one with a twin bed, a full bath and kitchen.  There's a wood burning fireplace in the upper unit and a gas log fireplace in the lower unit.

 The other side of the chalet has 3 bedrooms and 2 baths in the upper unit, with a queen and double/ full, plus bunkroom with a full bed on the bottom and twin above.  The lower unit has one bedroom with a queen and a full bath, kitchen and a pool table / game area.  There's a wood-burning fireplace in the upper unit and a gas log fireplace in the lower unit as well.

AMENITIES, FURNISHINGS & DECOR:

Professional decorators spared no expense in designing and outfitting the chalet.  Skillful attention to every detail has produced the polished look and feel of a grand old hunting lodge with furnishings and decor in keeping with the theme.  Distressed leather couches, heavy woven tapestries, trophy mounts and plush, over-stuffed chairs, natural hardwood or slate flooring, stone fireplaces, carved stairways and valences and rustic touches everywhere complete the ambiance.  "Rustic", yes, but not "rough": comfy linens and towels, tasteful amenities, fully stocked kitchens, satellite TV, wireless DSL, free local phone calls, and all the comforts of home, complete the seduction.  Plan in advance for peak season and holidays so you won't miss out.  "Bend of the River" - where ordinary takes a turn toward extraordinary!

MORE THAN THE SUM OF ALL ITS PARTS:

In all, there are a total of 9 bedrooms and 6 baths, 4 kitchens, 4 fireplaces and the chalet sleeps up to 18 persons.  Rent either side or the whole chalet.  Perfectly suited for corporate or church retreats, planning seminars, reunions or family get-togethers for any occasion (but especially for the holidays), "Bend of the River" caters to adults but responsible families with well-behaved children are most welcomed.  Guests are welcomed to use the paddle boat free of charge if arrangements are made with manager.  Some pets allowed, please call to inquire.  This property is strictly "Non-smoking" throughout.
