Stay on the lake

I thoroughly enjoyed the house. Everything you need for a family to spread out and relax. One thing to keep in mind is there are only 2 tv's. Depending on the group size, you might want to plan for that on inside days. Great house no complaints noon check out was much appreciated.

A beautiful home with a wonderful view, we had all our children, their spouses and our grandchildren together for Thanksgiving. The home is huge and comfortable. If you’re looking for home near many activities in North Ga this is a great spot. We were very happy with our stay.

Beautiful property for family Christmas

The home was beautiful and there was plenty of space for our family. The location was perfect for our plans. The driveway as stated is very steep, I believe it is a 14% grade. I would not want to have to traverse it if it were to get icy either by car or on foot. There were a few issues, but the property manager responded quickly. We did not expect the issues to be resolved while we were there, but hopefully they were fixed as soon as possible.

Great Lake House

This lake house has so much room. It fit our family of 5 with plenty of room to spare. It could sleep a lot more people. It was very clean and well furnished. We did not need anything while we were there. We really enjoyed our time on the lake. I highly recommend this lake house.

Nice house on quiet cove

Great place for a weekend getaway with family/friends. Owner is very responsive and easy to work with. House is nice and the teens really enjoyed the game room. Dock is a little dated and if you're traveling with little kids or seniors just be aware that the house has lots of stairs. Access to the lake is very close, but steep and uneven footing. Overall, highly recommend.

Family friendly

Excellent house for a family to spend a relaxing time together. Sherri the house manager was attentive and helpful. If you bring kayaks with you there is a boat ramp not far away, only took us about 15 minutes to paddle them back to the dock. There is only one regular sized refrigerator and a dorm size mini- fridge on the lower level, plan accordingly.

Wonderful girls getaway!

The house was even prettier and better than the listing claims! This was a perfect place for our group of 9, although it would sleep many more! We loved just relaxing on the dock in the sunshine. The Walmart is only 10 minutes away, making a grocery pick up super convenient. I highly recommend!

Great family reunion

Property was perfect for 10 adults and 1 5 yeqr old. Amenities were well used as was the kitchen. Being right on the lake was great, several people bought fishing poles and went fishing. Only complaint i would have is the path to the dock is treacherous for older people. Overall, though, everyone had a great time!

Great house for multiple family

This house was an excellent vacation for my friends and my family. Several of us have children now and the layout was good for families. There were enough floors and spaces that allowed for groups to be louder without disturbing early sleepers. The place was clean and nicely decorated for the holidays. We stayed in winter so didn't get to enjoy the lake but sat on upper dock for a bit and it was nice foggy morning.
