Very peaceful and quiet location. Was visiting Young harris College and surrounding area, good access to local restaurants. It was a nice quiet place to get away for the weekend. Willie provided easy check-in procedures, the day of check-in. Great location for one or two people who are visiting area, hiking, or accessing lake chatuge in the summer.

The hot water situation needs more clarity, the host has a small sign up in bathroom that says that the hot and cold are backwards. After we both had cold showers the first night we played around with it to learn that hot only came if the knob was very slightly turned on( so it stays on the cold side- but you don’t turn the knob on and around to cold as the sign suggests. Additionally, there was no access by bed to plug in multiple things- only one side had access and only one plug. Movement of furniture might allow access to the other outlets.

Cute cabin close to everything
This was a very cute cabin up in a quiet mountain neighborhood (so steep road and driveway). Had everything we needed. The sofa was comfortable for sleeping, but my friend who had the bed said the mattress squeaked every time she moved while trying to sleep. The host was nice and answered my questions promptly. I would add that while cute and clean, the interior could use a little TLC and freshening up. Would definitely stay again.

Cozy and friendly
The cottage is beautiful and has everything you could possibly need, including a full kitchen and laundry room. The owner is friendly and charming and cooked a sumptuous breakfast on Saturday and brought it to us. We had a great visit!

Quiet, cozy and quaint
My husband, kids and I took a weekend trip from Florida to Hiawassee- after reading the reviews on willies cabin how could you not want to stay somewhere as perfect as that! Breakfast as every other review states is AMAZING! The cabin is cozy with plenty of room for the four of us! We loved the fire pit and the lake views! We will be back for sure!
