Cozy spot for our short stay

The cabin was cute and clean. The loft is extra space that would be perfect for youngsters. The outdoors amenities are fantastic. We were only here a couple of nights for a wedding but I'll check for this when I want a lakeside getaway in the future.

Peaceful Cabin

We loved the cabin. It was nestled in the trees overlooking the lake! The front porch swing was so delightful! Our family enjoyed how the cabin was appointed, it had good quality beds and bedding. We all rested well and enjoyed our visit.

Trip

Clean, nice little house. Didn’t like the lock on front door as didn’t seem to safe. There’s zero cleaning supplies or anything really- so if staying must bring all that. No additional towels or rags or anything. Just not the most equip- the neighborhood wasn’t expected based on skinny roads

My husband, myself and our two pups spend a long weekend here and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We took advantage of the cabins proximity to Tugaloo State Park and Toccoa Falls. Definitely recommend for a quiet weekend in nature.

GA Mts

This is a great property, but the location doesn't allow access to the lake because of private homes nor can you view the lake from the house. However it is close to the State Park where you can access the public beach. The refrigerator ice maker was not operating because it was frozen. Otherwise, the house was in excellent condition and clean.

Great stay!

We enjoyed the quaint, cozy, and comfortable cabin nestled up in the woods. Our friends rented the house next door and it was convenient to go back and forth on the little trail between the two houses. The house was very comfortable and clean, and a lot of attention was given to the comfort of guests in their stay.

Wonderful lake stay

The house was clean and new and exactly as listed/pictured. It is a short walk from their shared dock and very nice that they provide a golf cart for you that you can drive and park at their dock. Appreciated that it is pet friendly. House is well stocked with everything we needed for cooking meals and having a comfortable stay.

We throughly enjoyed our four day stay in this immaculate, cozy home. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed to prepare meals. The beds were very comfortable. We were able to walk the neighborhood with our dog safely with very little traffic! A delightful getaway! We would definitely stay in this beautiful and comfortable home again!
