About this property

Heron's Rest is a lakefront house with cabin feel, truly a diamond in the rough!

Our 2,752 sq ft diamond in the rough is located on a cove near Cowan Creek area of Weiss Lake and offers easy access to the lake, private 9 ft wide concrete boat ramp and dock with cleats.

Our quiet neighborhood has both full time residents and weekenders. As you enjoy the peace and quiet, you will also be able to watch the herons, ducks, and geese along with other wildlife. If you look closely, you might even spot a few turtles.

On the main level you will find 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The kitchen and living room are an open concept with access to the sunporch for dining. On the lower level there are 2 bedrooms and 1 shared bathroom. Off of the 4th bedroom is a utility room with washer, dryer and a dehumidifier system (there is a hum when the dehumidifier is running). There are also 2 family rooms that are open to each other, great for the kids to hang out. One room has a TV and 2 recliners, the other room has a foosball table along with access to the lower-level patio.

Enjoy the view of the lake from the deck off of the sunporch. There is also a portion of the deck that is screened.

For your convenience each bedroom along with the main level living room and lower-level family room has a smart TV ready for your personal streaming services.

Having rented VRBO's ourselves, we know how important the kitchen is. Our kitchen is well-equipped for your needs with plenty of cookware, utensils, blender, crock-pot, mixing bowls, etc. Plus there is plenty of storage in the pantry for your stuff.

A week wasn't long enough

Would definitely stay again. Only a short ride to several parks, good restaurants nearby, and the host left so much good information for outings. I only regret not signing the check in journal.

Perfect location for kayakers and bikers

We selected this four bedroom, three full bath waterfront house on Weiss Lake for two main reasons - a boat ramp from which to launch our kayaks into the lake, and its close proximity to the Chief Ladiga Rail Trail. The house is clean and well maintained. It is also very well equipped, especially the kitchen. Example - we counted more than six frying pans of various sizes, all in perfect condition. Five stars.

Perfect lake house during Thanksgiving!

We will definitely stay here again! My family needed a house near my cousin in Centre who was hosting our first family reunion and Thanksgiving. This house was perfect for me, my wife, my 2 adult children, and my soon-to-be-son-in-law. The best features of this house are the kitchen, the outdoor deck, and the view along the lake. Rural, but not remote. Roughly equidistant between Atlanta and Birmingham airports, but closer to Birmingham. Absolutely couldn’t beat the price and location. We’re considering hosting next year’s thanksgiving at this house now! Highly recommended to anyone needing a place in the area, and we’ll be staying here again. Loved our stay!

We had a zen blast

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The kids (35 to 45yo) relaxed immediately on arrival. We made use of both decks extensively. The kitchen was so much better equipped than anything at which we have stayed before; the ladies in the group were beyond amazed! Will we go back? Almost certainly - just need to mesh the schedules of three families.

Lovely lake getaway

This property was exactly as pictured and described-and more! The kitchen was so well appointed, it was a joy to prepare meals there. The beds were very comfortable. The living spaces, both indoors and out were very comfortable, as well. The highlight was the peaceful view of the lake and watching the herons and other birds. So nice! Highly recommend this home!

Lake House getaway

We had a blast. The Lake House was so clean. My wife loved the open kitchen. And me and my grandson loved the foosball table. I was worried about the boat ramp being wide enough for my boat. But it barely fit. I couldn't get the boat lift to work, I don't know if it was in working order. Other than that we had a great stay.the beds were comfortable. It's the best lake house we've stayed in so far. I caught plenty of bass at Weiss lake. We would recommend this lake house to anyone.
