Hightower House
Hiawassee, Georgia

Hightower House is a modern family home in a quiet wooded area just outside the town of Hiawassee, in an acre of gently sloping woodland garden, and at an altitude of just over 2000 ft. It is right on the edge of the Chattahoochee National Forest and only a few minutes from the 155-mile shoreline of Lake Chatuge. Hightower House will comfortably accommodate six guests in 2600 square feet of spacious air-conditioned luxury on three levels. There are three bedrooms, one on each level, each with its own en-suite facilities. Two separate living areas, a fully equipped large gourmet kitchen, a relaxing dining area and a full laundry make this the perfect base for a great family vacation. The large wrap-around porch with rocking chairs is the ideal spot to unwind at the end of the day, or enjoy a family barbecue on the garden deck. Both Hightower Creek and Swallow Creek are well stocked with rainbow trout each year, and are great for both serious fishing and for kids to learn the sport. There is an easy walk through deep woods and alongside the creek in the Swallow Creek Wildlife Management Area just a minute's drive away. Hightower House is at the hub of an area with extensive activities and places to visit. Close by are: boating on Lake Chatuge, river tube riding, white water rafting, the Foxfire center, alpine Helen, horse riding, the Fieldstone Fun Center and movie theater, Brasstown Bald (Georgia's highest mountain), scenic drives through the Smokey Mountains and wildlife reserves, golf, hiking and nature trails (including the Appalachian Trail), trout fishing, antique shopping galore, and winter snow-tubing.
