About this property

5* Lakefront Luxury - Relax At Jack Nicklaus' Former Reynolds Lake Oconee Home

According to VRBO, The Nicklaus Cottage is currently ranked #1 out of 400 properties in the Lake Oconee area based on guest reviews. This is the only 4 bedroom, 4.5 bathroom direct lakefront home located in Great Waters, Reynolds Lake Oconee. This is also the only 4BR VRBO listing in all of Reynolds Lake Oconee that provides access to important amenities like a private neighborhood lakefront pool, tennis court, sand beach, docks and a full service marina.

Entering the property, you are left with the feeling that the cottage is built directly over the water. You will be greeted by stunning views of Lake Oconee and holes number 9 and 18 of the Great Waters golf course, designed by Jack Nicklaus and ranked #46 in Golf Digest's "Top 100 Courses You Can Play". This cottage offers the most unique experience in Reynolds Lake Oconee for both golfers and non golfers alike.

The home is situated on a private cul-de-sac, offering the ultimate in privacy. An open floor plan living area includes dining and living seating for 8. A 65" Ultra High Definition television creates the only distraction from the incredible views from every window. High speed, wireless internet access is available from both the indoor and outdoor living spaces. The new kitchen features stainless steel appliances and granite counter tops. The newly expanded lakefront screened porch features what many believe to be the most beautiful and entertaining view on the lake. Covered and screened outdoor dining for 8 was recently added with unobstructed views of the lake, creating the perfect place for a meal with family and friends. A field stone grilling patio was also recently added, adding to the outdoor, lakefront living space.

The home has 3 master bedroom suites and 1 guest suite, each with a private bath. The baths have been recently updated with Italian tile and granite. Each bedroom boasts luxury beds with a King bed in each of the master suites and 2 Twin XL beds in the Guest Suite. The suites are completed with 400 thread count sheets, 40" flat screen HD televisions, incredible lake views and white noise machines for privacy. Each bed has 2 luxury pillow options, firm and soft, to ensure the ultimate night's sleep. We also believe that our guests who expect a 5 Star experience should never have to worry about the sanitation of their linens. With this in mind, you can rest easy with the knowledge that ALL bedding is laundered after each and every guest checkout, including our high thread count duvet covers. A private screened porch was added to one of the main floor master suites providing a private lakefront retreat.

Echo Dots were added to each bedroom and provide access to a limitless music catalog and other features. An Echo was added to the living room providing the same features.

The Nicklaus Cottage is situated in Waterside Village which offers residents and guests access to a private pool (open seasonally), sand beach and tennis court. This is important as unaccompanied guests are not allowed to use Reynolds Lake Oconee member only amenities. There is also a full service marina and a number of private docks reserved for owners and guests only. You will also be steps away from the Great Waters club house with both fine and casual dining available at the Overlook restaurant and the Waterview Pub. (Access to restaurants and other amenities may be limited or prohibited due to ongoing Covid 19 restrictions.)

Minutes away from restaurants, shops and the Ritz Carlton, you can get as far away from it all as you like, or stay at the center of all the activities that Lake Oconee has to offer.

The home has just completed a 6 figure renovation. The home was newly and professionally decorated in transitional, monochromatic tones ensuring that the the lake views remain the star of the show.

The Nicklaus Cottage is intended to provide each of our guests with a 5 Star experience each and every time. We look forward to welcoming you to an incredible experience on Lake Oconee.

Please watch the 5 minute video overview of the Nicklaus Cottage to get a first hand view of this exceptional property.

Because the Nicklaus Cottage is part of a cottage community, the maximum number of individuals at the property at any given time is limited to 8 and the maximum number of automobiles parked at or near the property is limited to 4. The Nicklaus Cottage may not be used for parties or events.

3 awesome master suites with additional twin bedroom So well appointed too!
This rental was perfect for our party of six (3 couples). So easy as we all had private suites. The bedding is luxurious the kitchen is full of William Sonoma and ever single thing we needed was there. Location is perfect, furnishings are spot on and comfortable. Huge screened in porch with dining table too. We love it and can’t recommend highly enough. Hopefully, we will return to this area and if we do, I’d rebook this place 100%. Really, every facet of this VRBO experience was top notch!A+ for sure.

Fabulous rental experience! The owners thought of everything to make our stay wonderful. We have rented many times but this property and these owners were just extra special. The property itself is stunning with panoramic views of the water and an amazing screened in porch. Treat yourself to this rental-you won’t be disappointed!
