Beautiful area with mountains and Lake Chatuge. Don’t miss Brasstown Valley Resort restaurant. Nice hiking trails in the area. Quaint Helen is only about 30 min away. We love this area with the small town feel.

I was raised in Hayesville Nc and would travel to Hiawassee quite often. Area has grown since my childhood. Just love the lake. Was raised in Elf community. Spent a lot of time on lake fishing.
