Beautiful, clean lake
My husband and I brought our boat with us to enjoy the lake. The boat launch was close by. The boat dock at the house was easy to get in and out of. It was nice to be able to leave the boat docked at the house until we were ready to check out. Great restaurants close by.

Perfect Lake Getaway!
We had a most wonderful week in Hiawassee and at this darling property! The farmhouse is adorably redone but maintains the charm of the original house! The decorations are perfect and the house has everything you need to enjoy your stay! Lake access was easy and we spent a lot of time on the dock reading, drinking coffee and enjoying the lake life! Hiawassee, GA and Haysville, NC were also great towns with fun local spots to enjoy! We rented a boat for the day and stopped at The Marina grill for lunch and visited the local VFW for some bar bingo! There are plenty of yummy places to eat and we just had a most wonderful time overall! Will surely return and stay again at this perfect lake property!

We fell in love with this house!
We loved our stay. Over 100 year old house, but updated with nice comfortable features yet still the old farm house look and feel. The house was very clean, always funny about staying where other folks live and or vacation. A/c worked great, heated bathroom floor was just awesome. Very comfortable beds, newer appliances. Great location, close to town and on the lake. Did not want to leave after a a four night stay. Would love to come back again soon. This house would be nice year round.

Relaxing Stay at the cutest Farmhouse!!
We had a relaxing 2 night stay at The Hersie House. We slept like babies in its comfy bed during the terrible storm that passed through. Its decor & charm is so welcoming and the history takes you back!! Shannon the Host made sure we had everything we needed and gave quick response to any questions. We loved the open space in the back even though it’s located on the main road. It’s close to food & DG if you need something quick. Go a head and just book it!!

Super trip
With three kids and 2 dogs it’s hard to find a place with plenty of room to hang out, a nice stocked kitchen, and nearby activities and this is the spot! Loved the fire pit for s’mores, the lake for fishing, and all the nearby parks and waterfalls. Highly recommend

The house was very nice and was close to everything we wanted to do. We brought our boat and tied it up at their boat dock so we could jump on it and go. There are a couple of wineries that are close to the house that we went to.

Lake stay
The property is beautifully restored and very clean. It has a dock and easy access to the lake. The owners were lovely. The only downside is the road noise from passing trucks.

Great getaway
I wanted to have a nice weekend getaway to Hiawassee, just needing to get away from it all, and the Hersie house is just what I needed! The place was perfect for me. Quaint and simple. but not lacking for anything. It was close to town, and to the amazing views of Bell Mountain. Shannon, the host, was available to answer my questions before and during my stay. I’ll definitely be back.
