The space
A Home, Not Just a Rental

This is our personal vacation home, not just another rental—and we’re excited to share it with you! Every season brings something special, and once you visit, you’ll want to come back again and again.

Lake Hiwassee – A Hidden Gem

Nestled in the Smoky Mountains of North Carolina, Lake Hiwassee is 93% U.S. Forest Service land, making it one of the region's most private and pristine lakes. Known for record-breaking fishing (a state-record 66-pound striped bass was caught here!), this lake is perfect for:
✔ Boating, skiing & wakeboarding
✔ Fishing & canoeing
✔ Kayaking, paddleboarding & rafting

The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) controls the lake levels—it’s full in summer and lower in fall, winter, and early spring. No worries! Our dock floats year-round on deep water frontage—it’s just a longer walk when the water is lower.
