Great spot. Clean. Great response times from the owner. They have a nice grill, flat top screened patio. No Hills to deal with when parking. I would definitely revisit.

Just what we needed for a quiet relaxing getaway. Home is very comfortable. Great waking up to a lake view no matter what the weather conditions. Scattered rain showers obscured our sunsets during our stay; but, the few sunsets we did see were beautiful. Our host was very responsive.

The house was nice but a bit dated.Good spot on the water. The steps down to the water were a little questionable and the vegetation around them could use some trimming.The kitchen organization in the cabinets was a hodgepodge. Too many food items left over by previous guest that should've been thrown away and the organization of pots and pans, dishes, utensils, etc. could be much better.Ping-pong table was a nice addition and provided some entertainment. All in all it was a good stay.

Amazing stay!

I was in the area for an extended business trip and wanted a relaxing place to lay my head after long days at work. This place was exactly what I was looking for and more. The owners are great to work with and made sure we had everything we needed. I would definitely recommend staying here!

Lovely Weekend Retreat

Our family stayed for an extended weekend together. The accommodations were spacious and the screen porch was a great place to enjoy the lake views. The beautiful sunsets each evening were magnificent! It was our home away from home, and we can’t wait to come back.

Great Spot for a Lake Getaway

This house has plenty of room! It's on a quiet spot on the lake, only 20 minutes from lots of restaurants in Athens. The view from the deck, the screened-in patio, and the kitchen are wonderful. We would definitely stay here again!
