Another great stay here for us. It’s a high quality property and Tera is a great host. We loved seeing the deer in our yard and we had fun in the kayaks. It’s big enough for a large family gathering, nice open plan living room and kitchen and four good bedrooms. Highly recommended.

Renovated Lake House with Gorgeous Decor + All the amenities

We loved staying in this chicly renovated lake house with plenty of space for our friends & family to relax. The bedrooms are perfectly placed away from each other to provide privacy, but with easy access to the main rooms. The dock gets morning shade which allowed for quiet reflection time & Yoga, while the afternoons & evenings were filled with sun. This property is just a short 1hr drive from Atlanta and the perfect "stay cation" away from the city. Will definitely consider booking this property again!
