Perfect relaxing lake retreat for hosting a gathering. Quiet with no neighbors.
There is a peaceful easy feeling about this secluded point lot along the corridor of Lake Hartwell and Tugaloo river. Relax on one of multiple decks, or in the gazebo, and enjoy the scenery and abundant wildlife. Watch the fish leap as you sit on the upper or lower deck drinking your morning coffee. In the summer months launch the kayaks from the floating platform and paddle up the lake or to Longnose Waterfall. Take your fishing rods and put your boat in at the boat slip at Stephens county recreation area and glide through the water back to the house and tie up at the floating walkway with your fresh catch.
Beautiful hiking and bike trails, wineries and waterfalls are all within easy access. There’s even a 9 hole golf course not far away. For you to enjoy we have 2 bikes, fishing rods, games of corn hole, jenga, or wooden ladder toss. There is also a large 15X6X6 inflatable dock platform that can be blown up and attached to our floating platform when water levels allow. Surrounded by the sounds of nature, see how many different species of birds you can spot and admire the many constellations of stars that appear in the clear night skies. Enjoy eating your meals, perhaps grilled on the gas grill, while sitting on the deck, or in the gazebo, enjoying the natural beauty with s’mores cooked around the fire pit for dessert.
This divine lakeside location has capacity to sleep 14, featuring 4 full bathrooms and 4 bedrooms with queen bed in each. In addition one of the rooms includes a bunk bed with twin bed on bottom bunk and and a further single bed with a large flat screen SMART TV.

As well as a large flat screen SMART TV, we have internet so you can download your apps, and there is a desk with monitor and printer for those that need to keep up with the office while relaxing. There’s a large sliding glass door that leads out to the split level deck so you can enjoy breathtaking views of the lake from inside or out. If you choose to eat indoors, there’s a beautiful long dining table with plenty of seating, again with exceptional lake views for you to enjoy.
The games room has a full size pool table, with a flat screen SMART TV, so you can have your favorite show on while shooting pool. Off of the games room is one of the four full bathrooms and a second kitchen that leads into the laundry room that accommodates a washer and dryer.
This jewel of a lake home is located one and a half hours north of Atlanta, 15 minutes from Toccoa where you can find a well stocked Ingles grocery store and a wide diverse choice of all the eating options you could need from fast food to fine dining.

House was huge, had plenty of room with 11 people 6 adults and 5 kids, lake was nice, kayaking was fun to the waterfall! Thank you for allowing us in your home.
Andrew responded quickly to questions and eager to help in anyway. This beautiful place is perfect for a large group. There are some steps, but it is accommodating for any age.
My family was in town for my daughters wedding. We choose this property for the ability to house 11 of us. The house was just as described by the host. My family had a wi detail weekend.

Thanks for the review Lisa. Glad everything went well.
The house is huge! It met all of our needs… plenty of space for multi families and mixed genders of teens! We enjoyed hanging out out the house on Friday night and again Saturday night after the Clemson game! We will definitely look to book again in the future!
What an amazing, well-furnished, thoughtfully-setup place. We had 3 couples stay for the long weekend. Had tons of space, enjoyed kayaks, sat in various peaceful places on the deck, gazebo, fire pit….. Had a couple hikes to the waterfalls.
Beautiful place, large enough for a giant group of people and super private: no neighbors to interrupt your restful stay. Loved it!!!

Thanks for the review Jimmy. You were perfect guests. Very communicative and left the place in great shape. Glad you enjoyed your stay.
There were 10 people in our group and we had plenty of room. House is well stocked and the host is very responsive and accommodating.
The kids enjoyed fishing from the shore and from the kayaks. Everyone loved the floating dock, young and old alike.
Gorgeous views of the lake from the house and from the decks.
Nice place....thanks for your hospitality, Andy!

Thank you for the review. You and your family were great guests. Very communicative and treated our house with respect and left everything perfect and even washed some of the towels for us. Would recommend you to anyone looking to rent. Thanks again.
Our experience at the lake house was perfect for our annual Thanksgiving gathering. The house is SO spacious and had plenty of large living areas for our party of 10 to hang out together, but also lots of little nooks and seating areas for people to have moments to themselves too. The kitchen was awesome for cooking a big dinner and we had everything we needed- the hosts provided tons of cookware and plenty of dishes. The rooms were beautiful and clean, and the house was well-stocked with fun games and puzzles. The house has such a nice view of the lake on one side and the mountains on the other. Andrew was an incredible, communicative host and bent over backwards to make sure our stay was comfortable. Thank you for a wonderful stay!
