Lake Chatuge Lodge,9 bds, Boat, indoor Pickleball court.

Amenities and location were absolute highlights. Never a dull moment with our group of 19. The indoor pickleball and basketball court was a focal point. Kids also hosted game nights in the basement.

The deck next to the jacuzzi is broken and feels unsafe. The stairs leading down to the lake are loose and very unsafe. Inside the house, there is a strong moldy/musty smell. The pool table surface is damaged, and the electronic arcade game does not work. Many items in the backyard are also not usable.I hope the owner can repair and maintain the property better for future guests.

The host was very hospitable and responsive to questions and requests.

Everything was perfect for our group of 17 adults. The pool area was outstanding. we enjoyed the boat and the golf cart was a life saver. David met us on arrival and showed us around the house and property. plentyof supplies.

Thank you for a wonderful stay!

This s property has a lot of potential and the owner has a great vision for what the property could be. The current house use and grounds need a little TLC, but the additions make the property have amazing potential! It is secluded which is so nice. The sleeping arrangements need a little more clarity, but having multiple places to prepare meals is so nice for multiple families. Love Hiawassee and Lake Chatuge!!

Great vacation place for large crowd. Loved having the well equipped outdoor kitchen, the amazing covered pickleball court, lovely pool and waterfall. Having the outdoor tv along with karaoke was lots of fun! The two indoor kitchens made it possible to store food, drinks etc and cook inside if necessary for a large crowd. We also enjoyed the hot tub on the deck. It was great to have the pontoon to enjoy the lake. Golf cart was such a help and definitely necessary. This quiet remote getaway was perfect for our crowd. David was easily available and super easy to work with.

We had 26 people and had plenty of room. The house has 2 complete kitchens which was a plus. The pool and outdoor kitchen were not an easy walk very steep slope but thankfully the owner provided a golf cart to get down to the area. Has quite a bit of construction going on around the pool and outdoor kitchen area but it didn’t interfere much. All in all we had a great time.

We enjoyed our stay. Renovations of the property are ongoing,

So much to do! Host was great

The overall description of the house was accurate. There was plenty of room for 15 adults and 3 children. The outdoor area, pool, pickleball court and kitchen was amazing! It was a wonderful area to hang out all day and night. We also rented the pontoon boat which provided hours of fun along with the paddle boards, water trampoline, paddle boat, kayak, etc. There are so many things to do at the property that you never need to leave the property. The huge porch overlooking the lake was an awesome spot for family gatherings and dinner. Dave, the owner, is nice and friendly and provided us with TP, paper towels, paper plates, plasticware, shampoo, conditioner and body wash, which was nice for a rental property. The inside of the house needs a little bit of TLC, but the overall experience was excellent! We would definitely rent the property again! In 25 years of renting summer homes for an extended family vacation, this is the only property we all agreed is worth renting again!

The first major complaint is the bedrooms. It has five bedrooms. Two open air lofts with bunk beds jam packed in there and WORSE if you go into to the no door, open air loft; go through the bathroom you enter another room called a bedroom, jammed with bunk beds that has no windows and NO EXIT DOOR EXCEPT THROUGH THE BATHROOM AND THEN THROUGH THE OTHER OPEN AIR LOFT! This is called a closet. I highly wonder if this is even legal to have “bedrooms” without windows and the exit door is through a bathroom and then through another “bedroom”!. Some of my family members had to rent a room at the local Holiday Inn because of the horrible arrangement. The cleanliness of the property is less than one star. The pool was filthy so we didn’t use it. There were half submerged kayaks, furniture and trash all in the lake. The putting green was under repair and all the construction debris was partially blocking the path to the lake. The view was ruined because of the trash in the lake.

Wonderful property, nice house, great amenities, and spacious common areas. The property was not cleaned very well prior to our arrival which is why i didn't give it a full 5 stars. Since the propeety is on the older side, it would benefit from having a thorough, professional cleaning(inside and outside the property). For us to have been on vacation, we had to clean before enjoyment of most of the areas. The owner was nice and came out for any issues we had. It was definitely appreciated and overall we had a great stay.

The house worked out great for our multi generation family. The two kitchens were great and met our needs. We enjoyed the wood burning fireplaces. Dave was great to work with and was available to answer any questions. It was a very cold weekend but some of our family used the pickleball court. We would definitely stay again

Our annual work trip and this house was perfect! Each family had their own space and bathroom. Plenty of activities onsite and seating for everyone. This was our second time to the property and Dave has added to the property and making more improvements.

Was nice, has potential.

My wife and I stayed and as always Dave Norris was excellent!!! The property was awesome, and everything was as advertised. We cannot wait for all the new amenities; we will be booking this property again. We have stayed with Dave before at the Bellissimo Castle in Gainesville at his other VRBO property and Dave was the BEST!!!! Lake Chatuge was everything it was on the site. Despite other reviews. We Connot believe the poor review that was posted. We booked the house not the new venue. The pool was beautiful and the venue grounds with new amenities were awesome. Dave was the utmost professional!!!!

Owner was nice ,but place was a construction zone outside many of the amenities listed were not there or were unavailable for use . Owner had an issue with the pool and was there daily working on it , also the house was outdated and needed much work on the inside with plumbing issues and mold in the bathroom ceiling. The property was not ready for rental use
