Hiawassee GA Real Estate & Lake Chatuge Living

This is one charming little town!  The views from just about anywhere are absolutely stunning.  The lake is surrounded by tall mountains the oversee the gigantic Lake Chatuge.  This is one of my favorite areas to go camping.  The views from the campground over the lake and looking at the hills are so wonderful to take in.  The photo below is from one of my favorite spots to camp.
