About this property

Lakefront, private, shaded, large water view, kayaks, boat ramp, FREE CLEANING

Captain Cook's is your home away from home on Lake Wedowee. This home is the kind of place where we love to go, and we hope you like it as well. It is a fully furnished 3 bedroom, 2 bath jewel located on a wooded lot directly on the lake with year round deep water. The house is a family friendly single story with bedrooms on opposite sides of the house, affording privacy between the master and the other bedrooms. It is stocked with books, CDs DVDs, toys, games as well as a portable crib, and children's table and chairs. The walk to the lake is short (64' from house) and easy with a wooden boardwalk all the way to the private covered pier and large covered floating dock. There is even a private boat ramp on the property for launching your boat as well. Enjoy evenings lakeside by the firepit or swinging on the porch.

At Captain Cook's you will find all the towels, linens, dishes, cookware and utensils you will need. We have gone the extra mile to make sure the kitchen is fully equipped. We have both drip coffee maker and Keurig coffee makers, an air fryer, blender, toaster, counter top ice maker, griddle, crockpot and plenty of cookware. Hairdryers, iron and ironing board are also provided as well as for your use. We now have Starlink internet access\WiFi. There is a gas grill for cooking the fish you catch each day. A ping pong table is available for the competitive types as well as a basketball hoop toss and corn hole set up. Enjoy the use of 2 single kayaks, 2 stand up paddle boards as well as a tandem kayak. Lakeside Marina and restaurant are a short boat ride up the lake.

The large master bedroom has a king bed with a Tempurpedic mattress, flat screen TV, DVD player and private porch. Enjoy views of the lake from both the windows or from a rocker on the porch.

A queen bed with deluxe memory foam mattress topper is in another large bedroom as well as a set of built in bunks. This bedroom has a private entrance from the front porch, flat screen TV and DVD player.

2 comfortable full beds are in other guest room and a rollaway bed is also provided for use.

The living room includes a large screen LCD TV, lots of books, games, puzzles, etc. There is plenty of space for reading or relaxing in the cozy living room or on the large porch facing the lake. You can swing, rock or just sit and enjoy the view.

The porch on the other side of the house is also a great place to sit, rock, have a cup of coffee and enjoy the peace and quiet. There is also an awesome flying saucer swing for children.

Lovely views from the porch!

Lisa and Charles were great to work with! They were flexible when we had a last minute change and responded right away when we called. We had everything we needed in the house. The mattresses were great, that’s not always the case with other experiences. We’d highly recommend staying here when you’re in Wedowee!

Double booked

Got to the property to check in and another family was already there. VRBO and AirBB booked on top of each other for holiday weekend. Very uncomfortable situation! Not property owner’s fault. Caused lots of tears until a resolution was found.

Great Lot, Homey and Comfortable

My husband, son, daughter, & son & law stayed here for Labor Day weekend as a last get together before our daughter & her husband were moving out of state and to look at some property we own there. The location and lot for this property is exceptional, not too steep and very close to the water with a beautiful view and dock and a tritoon boat which we also rented. That was the highlight for us! The boat is large enough to seat a group, and the motor runs great. We were able to tour the entire lake including our property which we were anxious to see from the water. They also had kayaks, paddle boards and a peddle boat and swimming off the dock on floats was easy in the cove area where it's located. The house is very homey and comfortable, although the bathrooms could use some updating, it was quite suitable for the price and the owners couldn't have been nicer. The basement, although not finished, hosts a ping pong table and corn hole game which was handy for a rainy day. Overall, very satisfied with our visit!

Hmmm. Great location, needs some updating & maintenance.

We used to own a lake home on Lake Wedowee. As such, we’re very familiar not only with this lake in particular, but lake living in general. We sold that home & now rent lake homes throughout the SE to see where we want to retire. A last-minute vacation hiccup led us to renting this place on our “home lake” where we keep our boat. Communication with the owner was pretty good. He responded that the property was available, & that the covered boat slip would be available for us to use. Check in was easy. First off, we have to say that the location is good. It’s right at the entrance to Wedowee Creek & the view of the lake from the house is excellent. It’s right inside a small cove, so you don’t get beat up by waves from passing boats. The deck has a wonderful view. There are steps, & a wooden walkway, down to a covered area, & then the dock. The covered area has an outdoor furniture set, which is nice. A fire pit & a couple of swing chairs in the backyard were fun. Overall, though, this house needs some SERIOUS TLC. The deck, doors, paint, windows, etc. are all weathered and worn. Inside, most of the house is rather dated. The 2 bedrooms on the left, which share a Jack & Jill bath, seem to have been updated. One of them has a cute bunk bed style arrangement, built into the wall. These bunk beds are part of the bedroom, which has a normal sized bed, so the space is shared. The bathroom on that side is nice. The kitchen is dated. Cupboards, counters & furnishings have seen better days. The “nautical theme” is carried out throughout the entire place. Cute, albeit way overdone. Knobs have been replaced with various boat and waterski parts, etc. The master bathroom is….well, we didn’t fully use it. The shower area is actually a large older style tub that has a shower curtain hung around it, hanging by ropes/pulleys. It appeared to be “barely hanging in there” (literally). The toilet rocked. And the back side of the door was heavily stained/dirty from use. Netting/lures hanging in the window. Master bedroom was ok. The beds throughout were comfortable! Furnishings were very dated. Don’t come expecting to have internet! If you have it, is the speed of dial-up. Resetting modem was no help. PAINFUL. Be forewarned! Overall, we so wanted to LOVE this home but couldn’t. Wonderful location & views yet dated &…..dirty/used. If that makes sense. Some TLC and cleaning, and this home will be a gem!

Great stay at the lake!

We had never been to Lake Wedowee but what a wonderful time we had! The property is in a quiet cove and we had everything we needed. We spent most of our time down on the dock and enjoyed using the kayak and floats. The deck off the house was great too! We enjoyed mornings there. The kitchen was well stocked and the bedrooms were large. We slept well and had all the pots and pans and utensils we needed for a long weekend. It's a very quiet area, or at least it was when we were there. We enjoyed the new Boondocks BBQ restaurant in town, too. The house was very clean and comfortable. Thanks for a great stay!

We stayed at Captain Cooks for a long weekend, Friday-Tuesday. Great location on the lake, beautiful view and water deep and very clean! Home had everything we could have needed and was better than pictured! Clean, comfortable and plenty of room! Very short easy walk to the dock and we enjoyed the fire pit for roasting marshmallows and making s’mores. Working with Charles was simple and a pleasure. We would love to rent again next summer!

Great Vacation at Captain Cook's

We loved this property! It was even better than advertised. We stayed with another couple and had plenty of room. We liked the layout where the bedrooms were on opposite sides of the house. The covered boat dock was a big plus! We caught a lot of fish, enjoyed sunning on the deck, the paddle boards, swimming and tubing. It was our first time at Wedowee and we loved the lake. I can't say enough good things about our stay. It was a fabulous vacation.

About the host

Hosted by Charles and Lisa Cook

Host profile image
Charles and Lisa Cook live in Chattahoochee Hills, Georgia. We are the parents of five incredible children and four grandchildren. We absolutely love to get away to the lake every chance we can. It is our desire that others experience the rejuvenation and peace that time in this place brings.

Why they chose this property

We enjoy entertaining people and have always wanted to have the opportunity to own a place to share with others. This is our 'bucket list' dream and we hope others enjoy Lake Wedowee as much as we do. We love having a place where our family can get away and want other people to have that chance as well.

What makes this property unique

One of our favorite things about this house is the view of the lake and the privacy it affords. We knew when we first saw it that we could make it into a home in which others would feel welcome and not want to leave. We have decorated each room with care and filled it with everything one would need to call it home. The kitchen is even equipped with staple items like sugar, flour, coffee, spices, oil etc. The bathrooms even have q-tips and cotton swabs.
