Thank you very much for the great review Monique as so happy you enjoyed our place. We also really appreciated how clean you left it as you were fantastic guests & would love to have you back sometime!
Turned out to be the perfect family getaway for our Thanksgiving! The lovely home was immaculate, the beds comfy, and kitchen well-stocked with basic essentials for our meals. Plenty of activities for the kids to do. Although too chillly for the kayaks, they had fun playing games inside & outside and roasting hot dogs around the bonfire. Great location, with Publix and restaurants a short, 15-minute drive away. This is a home we would return to.
We were in town for a wedding and the house was great and just as described. The property owner was super responsive with any questions during the weekend. We will definitely be back!
We enjoyed our stay very much and I was impressed and appreciative of Mark's thorough communication and timely responses to my texts. Highly recommend.
This was a picture perfect lakefront property. My daughter her husband and their baby stayed in the apartment above the garage and it was so nice for them to have their own space, while the rest of the adults could stay up and visit. We were all very comfortable and really enjoyed our time there. Could not have asked for anything better.
Our stay was wonderful! Host is accommodating and communicative. The beds were very comfortable. We had everything we needed and more for a relaxing girls weekend.
This was a great home with a great location. Close to great restaurants and shopping. The home is in a quiet location and is one of the best stocked homes that we have stayed in. The host was incredibly fast and friendly in his response to any questions I had. Overall, it was fantastic and we are already planning to stay here again!
Definitely a beautiful location.

Overdue Relaxing Time With Family
Even though it was rainy one day and very cold the next, the house was very comfortable for our party of seven. The owner was very kind and attentive. We would definitely go back for another stay.
This was by far the most relaxing vacation we have had! The home was just as expected (very clean), stocked with necessities and games for the whole family. Use of the kayaks, lily pad and fishing pole.We rented a boat and had a place to park it, the boat dock was perfect size & the lake was clean (we felt comfortable swimming in it).We had great family time and only left the property to go to the grocery store and get the boat rental. Highly recommend this place. The owners were so friendly and easy to contact. You won’t be disappointed!
Property was just as listed, clean, accessible with lots of amenities. The host was exceptional with communicating and anticipating our needs. We were a group of 6 and the accommodation felt spacious and comfortable. I would return in a heartbeat! Thank you again for a wonderful stay!!!
There was nothing we needed that wasn't provided. Home was clean and well appointed in the kitchen and baths, laundry, and the dock provided rest and relaxation while watching our grandchildren swim. Family of 6 enjoyed our stay very much and made memories while attending a weekend of wedding fun in the area. Will return if in the area again!
Great home on the lake with all the amenities. Took a boat ride on the Oconee Lake, sat by the fire pit, had some holiday refreshments, did some grilling on the open porch, saw some fireworks and Christmas decorations on the boat docks. Great home owner contact. Thanks for a wonderful time.
