We checked out a day early. This property is not guest ready. All outdoor furniture is stained or molded and some suffers from dry rot. We had someone Fall through a chair. Leaves covered the outdoor wood deck surfaces. Wood rot, dead bugs, stained furniture and pillows. Dryer did not work. Heat went out. No extra blankets or towels were available. Not nearly enough provided for 32 people. The house is in desperate need of repairs and a proper deep cleaning. There are cobwebs everywhere outside. We documented with pictures of the same spaces shown in the pictures. I messaged the host upon check out a day early and still have not heard anything. :( poor

Wonderful place for family gathering

We have stayed at many different vacation rentals as Our family gets together every year. This was a great location with lots to do on the property. From pickle ball and tennis, to swimming, to going out on the lake (bring your own equipment/boat - we planned ahead). This easily accommodated our 15 people. Do plan ahead for flatware. There was not enough for a large contingent. We brought plastic ware so not an issue. The owner was very responsive. We will be back!

Great Family Reunion Property

Our family (27ppl) had a wonderful time at this property over the 4th of July holiday. Our family enjoyed the pool, hot tub, pool table, multiple porches, and taking a (rented) boat out on the lake. The property did feel a bit like a "camp" experience which was fine for our family but maybe not a fit for everyone. The downstairs bathroom was not working, the beds/mattresses were not in great condition, and it was a bit disappointing that they didn't supply pool towels. But, other than those few things, the property was great for our family reunion. The AC worked very well considering how hot it was outside and all of the outdoor seating and activities were a hit with our family!

Lake Jackson Family Reunion Fun.

Our family enjoyed our stay at the large Lake Jackson Compound. Ample room for our 14 adults and 17 children of all ages. Great deck views of lake. Pool and Tennis court were awesome and lake fishing off dock fun. Large house had good amount of Towels, dishes, and cooking utensils, while cottage did not. Cottage had many missing lighbulbs, no towels, no large serving utensils, few pans, and no broom. All beds were very comfortable with ample pillows and linens. Closest grocery store 25 min away. We rented a pontoon boat nearby for a day and kids loved rafting off it. Overall property was nice but could use larger refrigerators, better cuboard cleaning, deck nailing secured better, hot tub directions, and some general updating.

Fun family gathering

After initial distress, we really enjoyed our time together in the pool, on the tennis/Pickleball court, around the table and on the porch! The bunk room bathroom was not functional which could have been a problem but some of our family was unable to come so we moved mattress upstairs to allow easier access to bathrooms. Ronnie was very responsive when we asked questions or needed help. We rented a pontoon boat to take into the lake which was so fun. Kitchen was equipped to handle all of our cooking. The two separate houses worked well as some people are early risers and others not. House could use some TLC - screen repair and more thorough cleaning, but we had a wonderful time being together here.

Great for large groups which include kids.

My family of 18 booked this home for a wedding nearby. The house comfortably fit all of our family. We were able to host a rehearsal lunch on the deck with plenty of room for parking and space for people to hang out. It was nice to have a large kitchen and grill. We enjoyed the tennis quart, playground, and hot tub. It was too early in the season to enjoy the lake and the pool. The view of the lake was just amazing. Even though there were limited bathrooms, but we made it work. The kitchen was not well stocked for how large the house was. We wished we would have had more towels for our large group. Any questions or concerns I had before I booked, the host was willing to resolve. The whole property could use a freshening up and maintenance. Overall, it met all our needs and was a good stay.

Great time - just one or two small issues

We had a great stay and would do so again. Loved the tennis courts and hot tub. Kids rode scooters and ran around enclosed courts which was great for parents We do have a suggestion- owner should review property before we get there to make sure everything is there where instructions say. Example: broom was missing so we had to contact owner who went and bought one, first aid kit wasn’t found and we did end up needing a bandaid which I had in my purse. It smelled like sewer because the downstairs toilet leaked and the problem has been ongoing according to plumber- it couldn’t be fixed so we ended up not having a bathroom downstairs in the bunk room with our little kids.

Great place to make memories

Our family gathering included 19 adults and 8 children ages 5 & under. Our parents once had a home on Lake Jackson, so this was a trip of memories for all of us. This home provided ample gathering space inside, and the pool proved a great place for outside gathering. Beds were comfortable and rooms were clean. The kitchen had plenty of space for cooking and most of the utensils we needed. We noted several previous guests had suggested we bring our own sharp knives and disposable dining utensils which was helpful, and they were needed. Our host, Ronnie, was great to offer suggestions for boat rentals and quick to respond to questions about the homes. When the alarm on an owner's closet began to beep, he came right away to make the repair so we were not inconvenienced. The home has been loved and used well and could use some refreshing, as others have mentioned. The screen porch had a lot of cobwebs and needed a good dusting. But the space for being together more than made up for the shortcomings. Air conditioning worked GREAT! We had plenty of hot water. And the views of the lake were fabulous. We are grateful that Ronnie and his family have made their home available for others to share.

I’ll start with the positives: Comfortable beds (we did not use bunks, only private bedrooms) good space for large groupPlenty of bath towels provided & lots of entertainment on propertyThis place has SO MUCH potential. Really needs major overhaul. The place was barely surface level clean. if you looked under anything there was trash/filth under all of it. PinkMold on shower curtains, walls needed a good clean-there was splatters everywhere and lots of torn couch pillows. The kitchen needs a refresh of items. We made do with our 15 but lots of stuff was broken/missing.The property overall just needs to be tended to. Broken boards on decks (foot went through a dock board) outdoor seating broken, overgrown landscaping, nails sticking up all over decks, large cracks and holes in the tennis court. Pictures/descriptions are outdated. There is not 3 piers, only a dock (boat slips occupied by owner) and water is very shallow everywhere.There was exposed wires in the yard near the lake. The pool had been damaged by other renters (not disclosed till check in) so we didn’t get to use it our first two days & had to request it not be drained the day before we left for repairs. The water remained cloudy the whole stay. Cottage could sleep large group but share 1 TINY bathroom. Strong sewage smell present as well. Gas grill didn’t workOverall super disappointed

EXPECT MORE RUSTIC!

We stayed at this property a few weeks ago for a large annual family reunion “Lake Week”. We had been gathering in VA for the past 6 years, but since many of us now live in the south, we decided to try this property in GA given the number of amenities. Overall, our experience was positive. The sunsets were beautiful, the main house was large and both houses were clean and the linen fresh. The pool was the biggest hit and the pool deck has been enlarged since the pictures on their site were posted. Some of the amenities were not operational (the hot tub was green and smelled fishy, the tennis court net crank was broken so the net was only a foot tall and there were no operational lights). The overgrown landscaping could use some work and the shoreline needs some cleaning up (visible metal chairs in the water and no ladder to get out). The kitchens could be better stocked (cookie sheets, serving platters, wine opener, etc.) Despite large tears in the screens on the side porch, the bugs were not bad at all. The pictures need to be updated and the bed count needs to be accurate (Bathroom in the basement is permanently closed, no fold-out sofa in the cottage and no beds in the loft). Overall, I feel the property could use some TLC for the money being charged but I will say the owners were easy to work with when we needed something.

Family Reunion 2023/24

The property was just as described and pictured. There were 28 of us in all for a family reunion. The property manager was very kind and responsive to the minor issues we had. In my opinion, the kitchen wasn’t “fully stocked” enough for 28 people with things like serving dishes, sharp/steak knives, plates etc. and was missing minor things like a peeler, and cork screw which we just purchased and left there, so they have them now :) The bathroom in the downstairs room with the bunk beds is not functional and we assume that is what caused the sulfur smell in that room. The kids slept on the couches, of which there were plenty. The upstairs room and loft in the large house were wonderful. Eleven of us sat together on the oversized couch that last night to watch a movie, and it was cozy and lovely. Since we were there in winter, we didn’t spend much time on the porch, but the view was still beautiful from inside and there are very large windows all along the wall and porch to see and enjoy the lake. The sunsets and sunrises were amazing to watch even from inside. I agree with other reviewers that the property itself could really use some TLC and updating. It was nothing that affected our stay though. The cottage is colorful and cute! I think it is set up so kids might be in the bunk bed room, but logistically for us, an adult was in that room, so be aware that to get to the one bathroom from the King bedroom, you have to go through the bunk bed room.

Loved Our Family Getaway

Wonderful family time! Large cabin (home) on a lake w/ nice pool/hot tub. Cute second home stairs away. Concern: # of bathrooms. Main house: 1st floor: full bath 2nd floor: 1 bathroom w/ shower; shower w/sink; shower & sink only; sink & toilet only. Little house: 1 bath w/shower (Total: 4 FULL bathrooms) PLUS: Outdoor camp shower house/w 2 shower heads (worked great for littles & teens) Result: NO bathroom problems for us! In talking to the neighbors we were told of the great damage of tornados. We could see progress in repairs. Nice screened in porch. Tennis/basketball courts: very fun & in good shape. Some new decking, new hot tub cover. We rented a pontoon for two days; loved our lake time. Clean & spacious bedrooms at reasonable price in comparison to other houses we have rented over the years. AC worked great in the Georgia heat. Ronnie responded to our requests & worked to make our stay comfortable. (We needed more chairs as we all wanted to sit around the dinning room table & he had them there within an hour.) As to any bugs? -- It is Georgia - in July - on a lake. Think cabin. Bring: games, pool toys, extra towels (1 set/guest supplied), hair dryer. Only kitchen item we needed was a hand mixer, otherwise we found kitchen stocked enough to fix homemade dinners for 26 each night. Kroger delivered groceries. Be aware: Loft: 2 twin beds up steep ladder. Limited privacy. Roomy, private, nature -- loved our family time together.

Family Holiday Getaway

The house is big, accommodated about 25 of us, is in need of lots of TLC. Pictures outdated. Finding the property was difficult, we arrived at night and it was dark and difficult to find if you arrive late. However, the host was responsive with helping us find it. Getting into the home was easy, host was available to answer questions. The home could use an intense cleaning. The floors were very dirty making our feet black, you could see the dust in every room. No mop. We found lots of items from previous renters in the couches, even someone's garter. There were holes in the walls from door knobs, the beds were very uncomfortable and in both homes they were all sinking in. Lots of knobs and items either missing or broken. Two TVs in the main house and you had to use the same remotes for each which was annoying. Kitchen stocked. In other reviews, I saw there were issues with the bathroom in the basement. We were never told that the bathroom was no longer usable, it was gutted out so we were surprised to see when we got there that we were short a bathroom. The listing states there's wifi in the small house but we were then told it did not have wifi. Wifi overall was horrible. The hot tub was not the cleanest, used by the kids. The docks were very unsafe, it looks like a hurricane or something tore them down but we were also not informed of this prior to our stay. The home is very spacious, with some TLC it could really be a great property. Stores close by, Walmart 30 mins.

2/10 experience

I give the whole experience a 2/10. 1. Because my family and I had a blast by just being able to spend time together and 2. Because the property itself is beautiful and it has so much potential. However the description of the property does not meet the reality. The dinning table does not sit 20, but 12. The house is dirty if not filthy. The “toilet” area is under construction and a hazard for kids, why is it open to public is beyond me. The kitchen does not work properly and the pots and pans are old and damaged, so no, you’re not able to cook for 40 people like the description says. The host ghosted us from the very first night when I informed him that there was a stench in the cottage, we had killed a few roaches already, the tv wasn’t working (never did) and we would need more towels. We progressively continued to find damaged stuff, most bed sheets were dirty, but we realized too late into the night, so next day I contacted Vrbo about switching to a different property, but the host conveniently ghosted them too, and apparently “Vrbo couldn’t do anything until they (or us) talk to the host first” which never happened. So, if you’re ready to spend 100 in cleaning supplies and spend the first two days of your stay cleaning a house that was supposed to be clean, go ahead. Oh, we bought detergent to wash THEIR bed sheets, only to find that the washer machine does not work properly either. We bought our own trash bags, towels, kitchen towels, mop.. not worth the price.

Just Okay

Little communication and inaccuracies in property description / photos. Look at the photos then add 10 years without sufficient cleaning or maintenance. House: you can squeeze 16 at table, not 20; "screen porch" screens torn up; refrigerator / washer / dryer very small; towels motel quality/size/quantity & no pool towels; beds in basement are rickety and that floor is (literally) crawling with bugs -- not unexpected when basement level includes boulders and poor interface between indoors & out; visible dirt on stairs; moved sofa cushions to find a phone and instead found pretzels and toy pieces from previous guests. Cottage: you go through "third bedroom" to get to king room; kitchen is barren of supplies. Outdoors: tennis & pool nets are tattered; tennis court cracked; canvas tarp held down with rocks covering hot tub; decking in various states of disrepair with yellow tape marking (some) transitions; no ladder out of pool; trash strewn around property (not blown there in wind; left there); fire pit on wooden deck (???). Broken: multiple chairs, sofa surface, sprayer on sink, screens, blinds, pool gate, most of pool cues. Couldn't find: more than 1 broom, fire extinguisher. Sure we had fun but that was just being together. We can rough it with the best of them; would just like to have an accurate idea of the place we are going to. Windstorm came through, large tree fell across road & power out about 15 hours; owner minimally helpful.

One for the books

This was an awesome home for our family, there were 16 of us. It had the perfect lay out of bedrooms, kitchen had pretty much anything you needed to cook. I believe we used every amenity on the property. The tennis matches we had day or night (lights) !! Boys loved playing basketball and my grandkids had fun on the play ground. After sports or sight seeing the pool was our designation to cool off and get in a couple volleyball games. Let's not forget the pool table in the basement. Just so much right at your finger tips. Being able to watch the most beautiful sunsets from the deck, or the dear that played around the grounds made this trip even better. Can't say enough about the host Ronnie!! When he says "he is there to serve" that's exactly what he does. Our family will defiantly be back.... Helpful hints: for boaters we were unable to use the covered boat house. We docked one on the side and kept one on the trailer. (Maybe see if owner can remove his boats) For the grills, the Green Egg doesn't work, the other needs cleaning (we put foil dwn) Even with these few small things, I can't say enough good things about this house, you truly won't go wrong!

Family get together

House was clean and had everything we needed. Pool was nice and heavily utilized. Owner was very responsive. Play set, tennis courts, and basketball hoop were great. Saw many deer. Lots of stairs between main house and pool area- those with mobility concerns should discuss with the owner. Rented a pontoon boat to go out to the main lake- much cleaner than the river. We brought our own kayaks and stand-up paddle boards though and took them out on the river quite a bit.
