Group & Corporate Retreats on Lake Chatuge

A private nine-bedroom lodge on Lake Chatuge in the Blue Ridge foothills — sleeps 22, with three family rooms across three levels for a team offsite or a multi-family group retreat. Hosted in person by David.

Built for the whole group

The Lodge holds nine bedrooms and room for 22, with three family rooms spread across three levels — built for multi-family stays and group retreats. Two full kitchens plus a kitchenette mean more than one team can cook at once, so a large group never bottlenecks around a single stove.

A retreat setting in the Blue Ridge foothills

The home sits at the end of a wooded road with no close neighbors, on Lake Chatuge with its own dock. There’s a 20×50 pool with attached waterfalls and a hot tub, court sports — pickleball, volleyball, bocce, and basketball — and a long porch with views of the lake and the Blue Ridge foothills. A Luxury Tri-toon and paddlecraft wait at the dock from May through mid-September.

Hosted in person

You book direct with the owner-host — no property manager. David typically replies within an hour during daytime ET. Downtown Hiawassee is ten minutes away, and Brasstown Bald is twenty.

What fits here

The gatherings this home is made for

Team offsites

Three family rooms across three levels let a team break into working groups and regroup — two full kitchens keep a large group fed.

Corporate retreats

A private lodge at the end of a wooded road, ten minutes from town — focus without distraction, then unwind on the lake.

Multi-family group retreats

Nine bedrooms and room for sixteen make it easy for several families to gather without anyone feeling on top of each other.

Friends' weekends

A tri-toon at the dock, a big pool, and court sports — a lake weekend the whole group will want to repeat.

Holiday gatherings

A private mountain-lake setting for the gatherings that want room to breathe.

We're honest about what we're not: ticketed events and weddings aren't permitted. The Lodge is set up for team offsites, corporate retreats, and multi-family group stays.

How a celebration weekend flows

A sample weekend on the lake

An illustrative rhythm — shape it around your team's agenda.

  1. Day one · arrival

    Settle in and gather

    David greets the group on arrival for a walkthrough, then everyone claims a room across the three levels and regroups for a first dinner on the porch.

  2. Day two · work & water

    Break out, then unwind

    Split into working groups across the three family rooms through the day, cook lunch in either kitchen, and head to the dock, pool, and courts once the agenda's done.

  3. Day three · departure

    A relaxed close

    A final session over coffee with the lake in view, a last turn on the tri-toon, and an unhurried checkout.
