Lodging Near
Young Harris College
Skip the chain hotels. Stay at a lakefront resort on Lake Chatuge — just 10 minutes from Young Harris College in Hiawassee, GA.
A Better Stay
More Than a Hotel Room
Graduation weekend is an occasion worth celebrating properly. Instead of a cramped hotel room split between grandparents, siblings, and the graduate, book a private lakefront cabin where everyone has space to breathe — and a view worth waking up to.
Tranquille Resort sits on nearly 3 acres of shoreline on Lake Chatuge, just 10 minutes from the Young Harris College campus. We offer 7 private cabins, a shared dock, kayaks, paddleboards, bonfire pits, and Amelia's Cafe on-site. It's the kind of place that turns a campus visit into a trip the whole family looks forward to.
Multiple families can book adjacent cabins and share the grounds — making Tranquille a natural gathering spot for graduation parties, Family Weekends, and move-in weekends.
