  Lake ChatugeFishing  This scenic lake amid the Appalachian Mountains has 130 miles of shoreline and 7,000 surface acres at normal summer pool levels. Chatuge Reservoir, located on the Hiwassee River in western North Carolina, is 13 miles long and extends southeast from the dam into North Georgia. The reservoir is named after a nearby Cherokee settlement. Chatuge Lake is frequently visited by thousands each year who take advantage of all the adventures the lake has to offer. Many visitors are drawn to the Chatuge Reservoir for its fishing, and thirty-two fish species can be found in the lake. Chatuge has a fair amount of stumps, logs, and brush in places but is not rife with cover. Tournament fishing is common, and several state-record fish have been pulled from the lake's waters. The water is deep, and fishing in depths of 25 feet or more is common on Chatuge. Bass is predominant, with varieties including spotted bass, smallmouth bass, largemouth bass, hybrid striped bass, and white bass found in the lake. In addition, Lake Chatuge is home to crappie, sunfish, and channel catfish, as well as walleye and bluegill. Wade fishing for trout is also popular in the Hiawassee River, just below Chatuge Dam. Concrete weirs, installed to increase oxygen levels and water flow, provide the trout with an ideal habitat. |  The Memories This is a wonderful cabin that has given us many warm memories that we will cherish for years to come.

This is a wonderful cabin that has given us many warm memories that we will cherish for years to come. There were so many times that we sat and lounged and thought what a perfect place this is, and how we could imagine calling it home. This was the romantic getaway that they make movies out of. While here, we played games, cuddled, had a personal massage at the cabin, and endless times staring adoringly into each other's eyes while in the hot tub. Thank you for this wonderful cabin and great experience. There was no better place to celebrate our first anniversary! The only complaint I have about staying at Serendipity is that we did not stay long enough! We were not at all ready to leave. The cabin is just as it seems in the photos.

We were not at all ready to leave. The cabin is just as it seems in the photos. The view is breathtaking, everything from the kitchen to the hot tub to the outdoor fireplace was perfection. Very well stocked kitchen, spectacular view, comfortable beds, and plenty of room to spread out. The staff at Cabins Rentals was very helpful and easy to work with. I will definitely will return for another stay. |
