Spend a weekend, a week or more in our very fabulous lake home (valued at close to $2MM) with all the amenities; central A/C (only needed on rare occasions up here in the mountains), all electronics including DSL high speed internet service (why would you want them if you're getting away but we have 'em), full sized pool table in it's own room, two dens (one for adults and one could be for the kids) plus a game/reading area in the loft above the kitchen, a fabulous two level boathouse with covered eating/lounging areas, sink, refrigerator, microwave, floating swim platform, covered lower porch and sun deck. Enjoy fishing, sunning, relaxing, reading, water sports, swimming, kayaking and more. We have water toys for your use. Bring your boat or rent from our friends at Interstate Boat Rentals.

***(Note; lake is lowered 8' yearly from Early Dec and back to full by late April. This time is much more serene. There is still plenty to do, explore the shore (stil lots of deep water), kayak, canoe, cozy up to a fire, roast marshmellos in our new fire pit. Nature is spectacular from occasional winter storms to snow once in a while which is magical but you will need a 4 wheel drive if it snows!

We're from Sandy Springs, GA. We bought this property and 2 others as our "Classic Properties" to enjoy when we have time but we need to share them with others to defray expenses. One day they'll be back to levels where we are actually out ahead! All we need is for some really nice people who will enjoy our places and take care of them as if they were the owners.
Be sure to see VRBO #242085, our Highlands, NC mountain property and
HomeAway listing #966553 our Siesta Key, Florida waterfront Villa, You'll love them!
