About this property

FISH Lake Russell and Strom Thurmond Lake at Angler's Retreat

Cozy 2 bedroom, 1 bath vacation house located close to TWO Lakes. The home is located just minutes from either Lake Russell or Strom Thurmond Lake, located in northeast Elbert County, GA. Bring your boat, water toys and all your fishing gear and choose which lake to visit each day. If fishing isn't your favorite, visit the Elbert County Wildlife Management Areas to hunt for deer, turkey & other small game. Check out their site for all hunting information. https://georgiawildlife.com/elbert-county-wma

The property features a fish cleaning station on site and even a chest freezer to preserve all the meat you catch/hunt while you stay! The yard is big enough to store your boat & trailer and features a small fenced area of the yard to keep your fur baby safe and secure. When you get back from your fishing or hunting trip, relax around the fire pit in the yard or inside with your feet propped up!

The home features two bedrooms and one full bathroom with a tub and shower. One bedroom features a queen size bed with an attached entry/outdoor view of the back yard. Bedroom 2 has three twin size beds in the room with all linens provided. The kitchen and laundry area are fully stocked with everything you need to enjoy your stay.

The home has a Great location. It's 5 minutes from Jodi's Bait shop. There are 5 boat ramps less than 10 minutes away that serve Lake Russell and Clarks Hill (Strom Thurmond Lake). Numerous wildlife management areas are within a short driving distance for the hunters.

Have a larger group than 5? Book our sister property on the same grounds..."This Boat Don't Float", property ID 4477916

This Property is NOT directly on the lake as there are NO homes allowed directly on the lake according to Corp of Engineers property policies.

THIS NOT A PARTY DESTINATION. Only registered guest allowed on property. No outside speakers allowed so our neighbors are not disturbed. Fully furnished with wifi and TV. Plenty of parking for boats and vehicles.

Lake Russell is approximately 26,500 acres in size with 540 miles of shoreline and is one of the few lakes in the Southeast that remains undeveloped, pristine and naturally picturesque. The area provides a wide variety of recreational activities including water sports, boating, hunting, fishing and hiking. Largemouth base and Striper fishing on Lake Russell is so popular that numerous fishing tournaments are held throughout the year.
