The cutest!

The house was just adorable and well stocked. My son (9YO) LOVED the loft. I loved that we had everything we needed. The golf cart was an added bonus that we enjoyed.

Relaxing Thanksgiving in Great House

Kids loved the house as soon as we got here. Everything is clean and new. Interior design is perfect for this house. Kitchen has new appliances and great layout. Loft was nice. Fireplace kept the home room warm easily especially loft. Played cards and games, relaxed, cooked dinner and connected with our family. Thanks so much for an enjoyable stay. May come back in summer.

Trip

Clean, nice little house. Didn’t like the lock on front door as didn’t seem to safe. There’s zero cleaning supplies or anything really- so if staying must bring all that. No additional towels or rags or anything. Just not the most equip- the neighborhood wasn’t expected based on skinny roads

GA Mts

This is a great property, but the location doesn't allow access to the lake because of private homes nor can you view the lake from the house. However it is close to the State Park where you can access the public beach. The refrigerator ice maker was not operating because it was frozen. Otherwise, the house was in excellent condition and clean.

Cozy spot for our short stay

The cabin was cute and clean. The loft is extra space that would be perfect for youngsters. The outdoors amenities are fantastic. We were only here a couple of nights for a wedding but I'll check for this when I want a lakeside getaway in the future.

Peaceful Cabin

We loved the cabin. It was nestled in the trees overlooking the lake! The front porch swing was so delightful! Our family enjoyed how the cabin was appointed, it had good quality beds and bedding. We all rested well and enjoyed our visit.

Beautiful and Peaceful

The use of space in this cozy cabin is so impressive! The main bedroom was super comfy, and I am IN LOVE with the shower in the master bath. We never went up to the loft, so I can’t speak to that. Had all the basic amenities. Really appreciated the big yard and being able to bring our dogs on the trip! The hosts are super friendly. They sent instructions ahead of time to find the cabin and checked on us when my partner was working on our car engine in the yard to make sure we didn’t need help, but otherwise left us to our getaway. The neighborhood is so quiet and private. The neighbors we ran into when walking the dogs were friendly.

Great place and better hosts

The place we stayed at was a cute 2 bedroom house with a loft. They supplied a golf cart for riding around the community and going to the dock and lake. Everything was impeccable and the location was peaceful. We took advantage of the fire pit and I did some fishing from the dock. Beautiful view of the lake from the dock. We had an issue with the coffee make and it was replaced in 10 minutes. Great service. I recommend this getaway to anyone.
