Thank you so much for the incredible 10/10 review! We are absolutely thrilled to hear that you had a great stay and found communication with our team so seamless. Providing a five-star, stress-free experience from start to finish is always our top priority.
We love that you were able to take full advantage of the lake floats and the convenience of our on-site pontoon boat rental! We designed this Lake Oconee lakefront rental to make getting out on the water as effortless as possible for our guests.
You were fantastic guests to host, and we would love to welcome you back to our waterfront vacation home next year for another memorable getaway!

Thank you so much for staying with us! We are thrilled to hear that your group of seven had plenty of space to relax and enjoyed your time at the lake house. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we would love to welcome you back for another lakefront getaway anytime!
We stayed at Lake Forest Shores for 3 nights in May! Veronica was so wonderful to work with on getting everything ready for our visit. The home is absolutely beautiful! There are 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms on each floor, with a 5th bedroom and bathroom detached from the main house. This was the perfect amount of space for our family! The house has a great view of the lake and is positioned so that you don't have fast boat traffic coming right in front of the house! The kitchen was so big and spacious!! And the views from the kitchen were incredible too!! The island had 6 bar stools around it which was nice!! Lots of room for everyone!! We rented the pontoon boat as well. Thomas was very helpful with the boat orientation! A group of previous renters had an accident in the boat and had ripped off the fold up top for the pontoon so there was no shade on the boat, but other than that, the pontoon was great and accommodated our large family! We enjoyed our stay at Lake Forest Shores and would stay again! We do hope to visit Lake Oconee again soon!! :-)
Amazing time. Beautiful home. Will definitely stay in this home again.

We are so happy to hear you had an amazing time and enjoyed our home! It was a pleasure hosting you, and we would love to have you back at Lake Forest Shores soon.
For your next stay, we hope you’ll get to enjoy even more of the Lake Oconee views from the waterfront hot tub or take out the on-site pontoon boat rental for another sunset cruise. Thank you for the 10/10 recommendation!
The owner, Veronica, couldn't have been more attentive to our needs. We were at the property for a girls' Mahjong trip and I didn't see a table that would work for this when I was initially reviewing the photos. I sent a message to Veronica and received an immediate reply that they would provide the table and chairs we needed at no additional charge. When we arrived, she had even purchased a great Mahjong table pad for the table and left some cute cards with Mahjong rules. I think details are so important and Veronica understands this. The house is terrific with a superbly outfitted kitchen. Leading up to our visit, we had questions periodically and Veronica responded to every message within minutes - you don't have to wait long to hear from her. It's a great house with four bedrooms in the main house and 2 kitchens plus a separate detached guest suite - perfect for several generations or several couples to have their own space. It obviously worked great for our Mahjong girls' trip - Our group highly recommends it!

Thank you so much for the wonderful 10/10 review, Annice! It was an absolute pleasure hosting your girls' Mahjong trip at Lake Forest Shores. We love focusing on the little details, so preparing the special Mahjong table pad and rules cards for your group was our absolute pleasure!
We designed this Lake Oconee lakefront rental to offer the perfect balance of spacious together-time and privacy. It is wonderful to hear that your group loved the large, fully equipped kitchen.
You were fantastic guests, and we would love to welcome you and the girls back anytime.
I came with 5 brothers for a reunion, so 6 of us total. The location was excellent, only 10 minutes to the village for groceries, etc. We rented the Pontoon boat with the house, which was worth every penny. We caught more than 25 fish over the 5 days, many from the dock, and some quite big. I didn’t realize until we got there that one of the bedrooms was attached to the garage which is separate from the house. The garage also has the putting green, etc. It wasn’t a big deal, though. Host was very responsive, kitchen was big and perfect for us, because we mostly ate in. The home also had 2 kayaks and two paddle boards, and more than a few fishing rods kicking around. All around good time, highly recommended.

Thank you so much for the detailed feedback! We are thrilled that your brothers' reunion was a success and that you were able to make the most of the lake with the pontoon boat, kayaks, and paddleboards. 25 fish is quite the haul!
It's great to hear the kitchen and location worked well for your group’s needs. We would love to host your next getaway again soon!
We enjoyed a wonderful week in this beautiful lake house.All was just as described and photographed. The rooms were spacious and allowed for our group of 12 to have lots of together time while the five bedrooms and separate bathrooms provided privacy when preferred. The onsite boat rental was an extra bonus. We look forward to visiting again.

Thank you for the wonderful 10/10 review! We are so glad to hear that Lake Forest Shores was the perfect fit for your group of 12. Providing that balance of large communal spaces for 'together time' and five private bedrooms with separate bathrooms is exactly what we aimed for when designing the home.
We’re also thrilled you enjoyed the convenience of the onsite pontoon boat rental! There’s nothing like having your boat waiting at the private dock for a full week on Lake Oconee. We look forward to hosting your group again for another memorable waterfront getaway!
Perfect house for a girls weekend! The host was incredibly responsive to questions and made it a breeze!

The house was amazing with a great location on the lake. It had enough room for the whole family and pet friendly. The boat rental was perfect right on the dock for easy access. It allowed us to explore the great Lake Oconee and have fun with the family. We will definitely be renting the home again.

My friends and I loved staying here for the weekend. The home was bigger than the pictures and were so thankful for the easy access to the main road and waterfront. You're not too long of a walk from the water and the hot tub had breathtaking views of the water. Plenty of food and fridge storage, seating, and beds for everyone to have their own space. Veronica made it extremely easy to check in and was communicative. Would absolutely stay here again.
