About this property

Georgia Lake House Retreat

Come enjoy our 2 bedroom 1 bath lakefront home on Lake Seminole. The house has been remodeled and everything is cozy, stylish and clean. Relax on the elevated deck and enjoy the water and wildlife views or walk out the dock for relaxing or fishing. There is deep water right off the dock and I have caught many 3-6 pound large mouth bass just casting off the dock. We have worked hard to provide a comfortable stay with many amenities including full kitchen, laundry, WiFi, and much more. The kitchen has everything you will need except food/perishables. There are two bedrooms, one with a king bed and the other with a queen. Sleeps 4 comfortably. We absolutely love being here and are now ready to share it with you!

The property was very clean, inviting, and pleasant. The view of Lake Seminole was amazing, and having a dock in the back yard was perfect. We came into town for a guided duck hunting trip, but we were able to utilize the dock for fishing as well! We had such a great trip. Thank you so much for allowing us to make memories!

What a view

Lovely place on the lake. The inside is beautifully decorated and spacious for a small group. The back deck was perfect for enjoying the lake view. The dock is older and could use some repairs but the owner pointed it out before we stayed. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a quiet little getaway.

Honeymoon Hideaway

This was the perfect location for a honeymoon with two fishing fools. The communication with Jim and Sarah is very easy and timely. The views are phenomenal, especially the sunrise. The wildlife around is amazing. It is a very nice house that has updated amenities. We will definitely return.

This was a wonderful home away from home! Me and my brother in law came down for some duck hunting and the place was spectacular. Everything was so clean, wonderfully laid out, and everything we needed supplies for the weekend. Just wish we could have shot more ducks! Haha

Beautiful View

Very relaxing weekend. House was beautiful, and well stocked for our stay. House is on a dead end drive so very limited traffic which is also great. Deep water right off the dock for fishing, landing literally down the road from house for boat. Owners very friendly and easy to communicate with. The view from living room is stunning. Will be a repeat stay for us.

Cozy and tranquil!

We loved our stay. No time to fish but thoroughly enjoyed the captivating view of the lake through the 3 sliding glass doors out to the deck. We met in Donalsonville to take in a football game in Tallahassee. Avoided the crowds & high prices of staying close in. The home was perfectly stocked with everything we needed, ie Hilton could not have done it better. We will plan a fishing guide with a pontoon boat when we can come back for a longer stay. Thanks for your hospitality!

This rental is located in a very peaceful part of Lake Seminole. We watched Osprey and many other bird species and listened to bobwhite quail. We watched many fishermen come and go. We attempted to fish from the dock but were unsuccessful catching anything. The dock and backporch were the perfect spot to sit and relax. The house itself was very clean. The air conditioning was amazing. The beds slept great. The kitchen could use a few more pans for the oven but other than that, it had everything we needed. The check-in and check-out process are super easy. I never had any communication problems with the owners. They even messaged to make sure the house met our expectation.If we are ever back in that area, this house will be considered for another stay.
