Cozy stay

We spent a long weekend at this cozy lake house. We love it as it is well located in a secluded neighborhood with a secluded dock. Beautifully appointed and a great living space. Our only comment is that they should provide lake towels but other than that amazing experience!

Lake Life

We had a great stay. The lake was awesome and we were able to go boating, tubing, kayaking, ping pong tournaments, fishing and more. The house had everything you would need. Although it would have been nice if they provided lake towels. Highly recommend this listing and location.

House was great! Kitchen had what we needed to prepare and serve Thanksgiving dinner. Sleeping accommodations were perfect for our needs. We enjoyed the fire pit, game room, and upper deck to the boat house as well. We were a little closer to neighbors than the pictures led us to believe. We would probably choose something a bit more secluded next time, but host and house were all wonderful for an extended Thanksgiving vacation.

Summer vacation

Welcome basket was a sweet personal touch! Cute house and adorable lake vibes, great and easy communication with property manager, you have to take a trail to lake not lakefront property. Kids LOVED the loft!

Amazing family vacation.

We had an incredible stay! The house was absolutely perfect for our group—the layout was spacious and comfortable, making it easy for everyone to relax and enjoy. The welcome basket was such a thoughtful touch and made us feel right at home from the start.Hen was very communicative and helpful throughout our stay, which made everything seamless. The location was fantastic—close enough to everything we wanted to do. We went white water rafting and zip lining, both within an hour’s drive, and had an absolute blast.Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for a fun, easy getaway in the area!

Loved this lake house. The kids are even asking to go back! It’s great for families and the kids will especially love the loft or “eagles nest” that my boys re named it. Lots of places to explore and the property felt private. We used the dock and loved using the included kayak. There was an amenity that wasn’t available during our stay, but the host was very responsive and worked with us. Overall, we enjoyed the lake house and had a great experience. Beautiful in the fall.

Our five night stay was wonderful with the house location perfect for our agenda to explore northern GA visiting several vineyards, cool small towns, antique shopping and of course having fun with lake activities. The overall relaxed atmosphere of this wooded lakefront home was perfect for us ! The house and amenities were very nice, neat and clean with everything in good working order. We enjoyed cooking out on the open deck, spending mornings and evenings in the large screened in porch, sitting on top of the two story dock to have evening cocktails and more. We also used the double kayak to explore the waters around the house and enjoyed watching the various animal life. Our hosts were great throughout our stay and we plan to return for another visit in the near future.

What a great little house on the lake! Everything was easy from check-in to any questions while we were there. Very clean and had everything we needed. We did need to buy more paper towels and trash bags; we left the extra for the next guest, not a complaint, just something to keep in mind. Highly recommend!

The cabin was absolutely perfect. From the beautiful drive up its road to the great view in the back yard we really had a good time there. Worth every penny. Perfect place to be in piece.
