Lake Life!

Our family of 5 (with 2 teenagers) had a great time over Easter Weekend. It was lovely waking up to lake views every morning, hanging out at the dock during the day, and sitting around the fire pit at night. Great setting. Great location. Great views. Great house!

Fantastic

I chose the property for its proximity to Atlanta. Just needed a getaway and wasn't expecting much. Laura's home was phenomenal. It was immaculate, the kitchen made me want to cook a Sunday dinner. It has all the best cookware. The bathrooms have all been renovated and there's a game for everyone in the group. The outside just gets better. The firepit was great and the dock was even better. It was equipped with kayaks, stand up boards and a jet ski dock. We can't wait to return.

Wonderful Lake House

Was excited to spend a long weekend with family at the lake and this home did not disappoint!!! It was exactly how it was described! Beautiful home with breathtaking views of the lake on all levels. Easy instructions for checking in and out. The home was equipped with everything you could possibly need to feel right at home. Definitely will be making a reservation again at this lake house.

Peaceful and quiet

We enjoyed our stay at the lake house. We have 3 active boys and the paddle boards and kayaks kept them entertained most of the time. The house is located close to stores and restaurants. We saw lots of deer in a neighborhood close to the house. The house is clean and has a well stocked kitchen. The host is quick to reply and answered all questions promptly. I highly recommend!

Could be our favorite!

This home and property is just wonderful. The location on the lake is great. 15 minute boat ride to the marina where were were able to rent a boat and dock right here at the property. The home is beautifully decorated and clean. The bed was so comfortable. View from the patio was unbelievable. Spent so much time out there. This certainly exceeded out expectations.

Wonderful Family Getaway!

Beautiful and comfortable home inside and out! Our host provided so many nice touches to welcome all of us, dogs included! We enjoyed the beautiful view, kayaks, porch swing, outdoor games, fire pit, and comfortable outdoor seating. Kitchen was well stocked for cooking all sorts of meals. Appreciated the little labels everywhere so we didn’t have to hunt for things or figure out light switches! Bedrooms were comfortable, extra blankets were great. Bathrooms had everything needed, including robes! So much thought went into making this home a relaxing place for all of us to enjoy!

Beautiful property with an amazing view and lots of room to gather outside comfortably.

We had fantastic family time with lots of comfortable seating to gather together and relax. The porch and veranda are awesome and had lots of room with amazing views. We enjoyed the fire pit and outdoor grill & large dining table. The dock was perfect for fishing and sitting to get some sun and enjoy. Everyone slept great and commented on how soft and comfortable all the beds and linens were. The house was well cared for and decorated beautifully. Laura is an amazing host and didn’t forget a thing! The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare our meals and feel like home. We will definitely be back!

Amazing home

The view from this house is amazing! Every morning I enjoyed it on the back patio with my husband while our two teenage kids slept in. When they finally woke up (and we didn't encourage them!) we all enjoyed the lake via the dock. There were more lake toys then we could enjoy, and we used the the kayak, the SUP, and the floats. In the evening there is an amazing fire pit that overlooks the view. Some days we explored local excursions including an Alpaca farm, river tubing, zip lines and a pontoon rental at Nottely Marina to explore the whole lake. This house delivered everything we wanted and more.

Lakeside Paradise

Absolutely gorgeous property and a beautiful community. It was just my husband and I with our pup but there was plenty of room for families or other couples to stay. We had so much fun paddle boarding on the lake and lounging on the huge raft. Tons of water toys and the house had anything you could need. We had morning coffee on the porch and wine by the fire pit at night. Perfect getaway!!

Lake Life

This home and property is absolutely beautiful! The house is so warm and cozy, and looks just like a model. The kids stayed downstairs and loved having their own space. We started our day with coffee and conversation on the porch while enjoying the million dollar view! Our days were spent fishing and swimming! It was a perfect experience for all! Thank you, Laura!
