We had a wonderful stay at this cottage. The property is very nice, peaceful, and extremely well cared for. Everything was clean and thoughtfully prepared for our arrival. The cabin had everything we needed, including fresh linens, plush towels, full kitchen supplies, and even games for entertainment. There was also a pool table, which added a fun touch to our stay.The layout was spacious with ample room to relax, and the décor was lovely and welcoming. We appreciated having Chromecast, cable, and reliable Wi-Fi, which made it easy to unwind in the evenings. The atmosphere was serene and perfect for a quiet getaway.The owner provided helpful information before our trip and was available if we needed anything, which made the experience smooth and stress-free. Overall, it was a comfortable and enjoyable stay, and we are already planning another visit.

About the host

Hosted by Doug Moore

Host profile image
A retired Georgia Tech grad, I have the good fortune of living in the wonderful new modern-style home next door to the property where you will be staying. Together, my partner of 30+ yrs (and also a Tech grad) and I own and maintain the 10-acre tract that we call Meadmoor. Over the past 20 years we have made this our homestead, first as weekend visitors and then as permanent Hart County residents starting in 2015. We have adopted (and been adopted by) the Hart County community and intend to stay here for the remainder of our years. "The Cottage" served us well as our primary residence while we built the new house which we call the Holly Hill House.

Why they chose this property

"The Cottage" is located in a small and close-knit neighborhood of lakefront homes in the sought-after Reed Creek area, and offers more privacy than most lake homes. While it's not a large home, it is big in heart and just right for a weekend getaway. The open plan layout, with its vaulted ceiling and lots of glass, invites the outdoors in. And the large lakeside deck offers plenty of extra gathering space.

What makes this property unique

The Cottage features a beautiful perennial garden and a short walk to the dock. The large basement playroom has a full-size pool table and 48-in. LCD TV with surround sound, and a good selection of CDs and DVDs.
