Great stay. Beautiful lake, cottage was clean and well maintained. Cliff met us the day we checked in and answered all of our questions. His restaurant recommendations were good. We enjoyed Kabobalicious and Bangkok Bistro. Great rental for pet owners. We enjoyed Clarkesville.
Everything was great, easy to comunicate with Cliff. Enjoyed our break, very relaxing. The lake was wonderful, as the ownber provided kayaks and paddle boards, plenty of seats on the dock. Didn't get to fish, however did feed them.The cottage was very clean, plenty of space, and our dog enjoyed the fenced yard.Hope todo it again
My Wife and I spent a long weekend at this off the beaten path for R&R and celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary. We were able to visit some areas we hadn’t seen before while also enjoying the private lake with our Golden Retriever who also enjoyed the lake and room to roam. We all accomplished our goal.
Had everything we needed and central to the places we wanted to go. Cliff was very kind and helped us quickly with one item. Told us about the local area and places to see. The house was cozy and the property & lake were beautiful.
We very much enjoyed our stay and the propery is beautiful. The cottage had everything that was needed. We were there for a thanksgiving getaway but would love to return in the summer and emjoy their private lake.
We had so much fun swimming in the lake! The cottage was extremely comfortable and it was perfect for bringing the dogs. We will try to visit again soon.
We had a wonderful stay. The property is beautiful and we enjoyed the large property walking trail and lake. Host was very nice and we were very comfortable throughout our stay. What a wonderful place to relax.
This Was our second time staying at this location and it is a fantastic place to stay. The host is amazing and our dogs love the lake and the trails behind the lake. The home is clean and very well stocked. We will be back.

We're so glad you enjoyed your stay! Please come again!
Property is in a great location with respect to Taccoa falls, Helen and Clarksville. All great places to visit. It is very clean and quite accommodating. Would definitely stay at this location in the future.
Brought our dogs and we all had a relaxing weekend at this great cottage. We were able to walk around the lake with the dogs and enjoyed the cows in the back of the house. I recommend this cottage for a lowkey weekend getaway.
This place was perfect for our family while we stayed in town for a college graduation. The house had everything we needed. The lake was most relaxing. Great location and centrally located to do fun things in the area.
We loved our stay at Palm Lake. The location was close to town and shopping. The house was great and fit our needs. My son enjoyed hanging by the lake fishing and paddle boarding with my husband. We enjoyed walking the property with our 14 year old spaniel. I will definitely book this cottage again!
