Tara Lane at Lake Oconee. This 3+ bedroom house directly on a beautiful cove of Lake Oconee offers a great getaway vacation for families that like to vacation with friends, or just couples looking for a great place to fish, swim, boat or just enjoy some quality time at the lake.
Located south of I-20 and Greensboro (exit 130) about 75 minutes east of I-285, our Tara Lane house is a 2-story home surrounded by shaded hardwoods with a full-size private dock and boat slip. Our dock is set about halfway into a deep water cove, conveniently off the main channel of Lake Oconee, across from Reynolds Plantation and just around the bend from Cuscowilla and Great Waters.
You do not have to leave the property to enjoy a multitude of activities. The dock sits on 8 feet of water and great fishing can be had without even getting in a boat.
Crappie, catfish and bass are routinely caught by a cast from our dock. Swimming and other water fun is also an opportunity in this quiet cove.
The large, almost 1-acre shaded yard is great for those family lawn games. Bring your balls and gloves and play pitch and catch. Or, take advantage of our badminton and volleyball set. Or, throw some horseshoes. When you tire of physical activity, read a book or take a nap in the wooden swing. Or just sit on the covered porch and enjoy the great view of the lake.
The house is set up for all the amenities of a year-round home at the lake.
The house has 3 queen beds and a sleep area with a full bed. We officially can sleep eight, but with two sofas and several pallet/sleeping bag areas, two families can easily sleep up to 10. The oversized family room includes a 50” plasma cable television and fireplace, a sofa, love seat, and 2 recliners. There is a fully stocked kitchen, including brand new stove top and granite counters. But most of the time, we prefer to eat out on the large covered porch, which has a gas grill and equipment for a good old-fashioned fish fry.
The house also has three full baths, a washer and dryer and a whirlpool bath in the master bedroom.
Tara Lane is less than 2 miles to Publix, a variety of restaurants, a movie theater and plenty of bait shops. While we do not offer a boat for use, there are several opportunities in the immediate area and our dock has a boat slip available.
To maintain the quality of our retreat, it is being offered by referral of our family and friends only to discriminating and select guests. This will ensure that each guest to our lake house will have a rejuvenating visit. We personally employ a local housekeeper to ensure the highest standards of cleanliness and comfort details are met.

Why the Owner Chose Other Lake Oconee Properties
Unlike many lake properties, our lake house has a relatively level and grassy yard. Lawn games are not something from the past, here. We have had great wiffle ball games. Horseshoes, volleyball and croquet are also pastimes when you get tired of floating in the lake cove.
The Unique Benefits at this House
Finally, this long has been a second home that could handle all of the extended family. We officially have beds for 8, but kids have found lots of other fun places to sleep, as well. The updated kitchen is stocked to handle any crowd, including all the equipment for a fish fry out on the covered porch.
We have many great memories and are pleased to share our lake home with discerning guests.
Owner's Map of Other Lake Oconee Properties
Welcome to our Lake House at Tara Lane. Our family is the first and only owners of this fine getaway.
Our father had a lifelong love of fresh water fishing and has had homes at different times on three lakes. He found Lake Oconee to simply be the best lake in all of Georgia. This lake and our cove are a fisherman’s delight. Sizable fish can be caught off the dock. Of course, get in a boat and there are great fishing holes to be found just around the bend.
As our Dad fought through a protracted illness, Tara Lane became a place of rest and peace … and reflection. Our entire family has enjoyed very warm times sitting on the dock, talking, fishing and more than occasionally snagging a nice catfish, bass, crappie or even a carp.
