Holiday rentals with a fireplace in Hiawassee

The home was very clean and comfortable and anything we needed was provided. It is quite spacious yet sitting in the living room at night with the gas fireplace turned on was so cozy. Sitting on the back porch was peaceful and serene - total bliss. Gloria is a wonderful host and I would recommend staying here and hope to again.

Very nice place and hosts were very responsive and helpful with everything. Enjoyed our stay very much.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!! We loved it so much, this was our 2nd stay. Group of 13 friends just hanging out for the weekend. Things that stand out include the absolutely pristine bathrooms and the fully stocked kitchen. All the pans, utensils, cutting boards, baking pans, etc. you need. Lots of places I've been to don't have things like measuring cups but they have everything. When we had questions, response was fast. Nice common area for everyone to hang out in. Just a great place.

We loved staying in this Airbnb! It was extremely clean & had everything you will need from pots and pans to basic seasonings. Beds are super comfortable and everything was what we expected plus more! Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for the cozy right at home feeling! Hot tub was a huge plus.

Josh was a very friendly, responsive host and made sure we had everything we needed for our stay. The location of the property was beautiful and close to downtown Helen while still feeling like you’re out in nature. Also the place is huge so had more than enough room for everyone on our trip!

I have never stayed at a more well stocked rental. If you forgot anything, no worries, she probably has it in the house! Joan left some very thoughtful, personal touches like having the heated blanket turned on for me when I arrived, a bowl of treats, etc. My favorite part is a tie between the gorgeous claw foot soaking tub which I used every night, and the beautiful view of the mountains from a large picture window. The location was really beautiful, and had a grocery store and multiple gas stations within a few miles of the house. The only thing that kept it from being perfect, was the spotty wifi, which is understandable in the mountains, but all the lighting was hooked to Google, so Google either didn't understand, or the wifi kept failing for the commands. It just seemed it took 5x as long to turn on a lamp, than simply turning the switch. I ended up unhooking the one in the bedroom during my stay. I would highly recommend this rental, and Joan is an amazing host.

Really enjoyed the home. Our trip was cut short due to anticipated weather to travel 11-12 hrs home. Would love to come back and enjoy the porches during different seasons. During our stay it was cold and rainy. Place was as described- clean, comfortable, and relaxing. Rodney was very responsive and understanding when it came to checking out earlier than planned. Would definitely stay again.

The location was unique and amazing. It was remote and very peaceful, away from all the fast paced norms of life but still close enough to have the amenities of a small town with shops and restaurants. Close to the river where it was great for fishing and seeing wildlife and just a general walk in the evening. Lauren was incredibly responsive and the house itself was great with a great layout for the family and many places to enjoy. If you are looking to get away from the stresses of everyday life (still have wifi if you need to check your emails etc.) this is the place for you, you won't regret it.

I had a great stay. The place is very easy to find and in a great location. Was very impressed with how clean and organized everything was. Would highly recommend staying at river romance.

Mike and Karen were gracious hosts! Their Airbnb was cute and had a beautiful front lawn. Would recommend to anyone needing a place in the area!

This place was the calm and relaxing we needed! It was gorgeous, cozy and comfortable! There was tons to do locally and lots of outdoor activities. The best part was the hot tub after a day of hiking! 10/10 Will be back on our next trip. Host Scott was responsive and attentive.

We enjoyed our three night stay very much. We love to walk, but yet being just a few short blocks away from Main St meant we could walk everywhere yet have a quiet place to sleep at night. The parking, while not a dedicated spot, was never an issue - always right out front. The kitchen had just what we needed since we only planned to have breakfast each morning.

Great location, we were able to walk everywhere. Very clean and enough room for 2 of us.

Excellent stay. The apartment is very comfortable and has everything needed for a pleasant visit. Stephen is a great host and very easy to reach. The location is wonderful, walking distance to downtown and there’s a supermarket around the corner.

Beautiful get away tucked away in the mountains. We gadw a great time exploring the nearby downtown. Very peaceful stay.

George and Deborah were awesome hosts. George even came down the hill to get us when we were lost. He also helped me try to find a motorcycle shop to get a tire after I got a nail in my back tire! They really are great people. And Deborah’s blueberry muffins were off the chart! Definitely coming back next year God willing and the creek don’t rise! 😀

I work remote and rented Damien's home for a month to disconnect and get away from big city life for a little, and it was the best decision I've ever made. This airbnb was perfect for me and my pup. It has a creek and hiking trail on the massive property which makes for extremely pleasant dog walks. I never had an issue with the Starlink wifi (and I had a lot of devices connected and take zoom meetings all day) while the home is super private and secluded, the town of Franklin with everything you need is less than 10mins away. No complaints about this house or homeowner, one of my favorite Airbnb stays ever and I will definitely be returning in the future. 10/10 would recommend!

This place was great! It was nice to plan a surprise trip for some of my family and they all really enjoyed this private castle in the woods. The hosts were great and responsive to any questions or concerns that we had. We were able to conveniently go to a few smaller towns nearby and we would definitely return.

Our stay at Encore on Nantahala Lake was nothing short of spectacular. The views were stunning, and the accommodations were exceptional. The owners paid remarkable attention to detail, ensuring that every aspect of our stay was comfortable and enjoyable. We rented a boat from Lake End Boat Rentals and Marina, which made the experience even smoother as they handled both delivery and pickup for us. We spent a peaceful evening on the lake, exploring beautiful hiking trails in the area, which made our return to the lake even more delightful as the sun set. Visiting during spring break meant that some activities were limited due to the cooler water temperatures, but we actually appreciated the quieter atmosphere compared to the bustling summer months. Overall, our week was filled with wonderful experiences, and the excellent communication with our host made it all more enjoyable. We were truly blessed to find this gem on Lake Nantahala it certainly lived up to its name. Thank You!

Beautiful home on the river that was nicely secluded. The walk down to the river is a bit steep but my 85 year old mom did it just fine. The house was clean, with excellent instructions for check-in and an easy check-out process.

The home was very clean and comfortable. Many thoughtful amenities and supplies were here helpful.
