Wood Haven on the River can be a little hard to find even though the home is less than a ¼ mile from a paved road (Meyers Chapel.) Once you arrive, the only road you see is a sparsely populated dead-end road across the river. Wood Haven sits on the bank of the Hiawassee River, where you will enjoy watching the river flow from the screened in back porch complete with a propane fire pit. If you wish to take advantage of fishing, canoeing or kayaking, pay close attention to the TVA release schedules and be safe.
Please note: the driveway is very steep at the bottom. It is currently gravel but will be paved in the Spring of 2025. We recommend front- wheel drive, 4-wheel drive or all-wheel drive vehicles only at this time. With so much to do, it is hard to believe how peaceful, quiet and tranquil Wood Haven on the River is. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
