We had a wonderful stay, the kids had plenty to do and the fishing was great. I would recommend this house and Carol could not have been more honest and up front and we got exactly what she told us we would!! We would go again.

A home away from home. Seriously, so welcoming and comfortable. Kids were delighted with the outside fire and making smores. Rented a boat and had a blast. Traveled to the Highlands, hiked and did some fishing....only disappointment - no luck! Plan to return.

Classic lake cabin retreat

Review Submitted 07/17/12

Finding a lakefront cabin that has 4 separate bedrooms to actually accommodate 8 people (6 adults and 2 teenagers) that has real cabin ambiance and is also pet friendly was a tall order to fill, but this cabin house did exactly that! Secluded but not isolated, the lake boathouse with canoe and kayaks made for many relaxing afternoons cooling off in the lake. Plenty of room inside the cabin not to feel cramped but amenable for gatherings. Biking on the lakefront road was a fun, vigorous way to get some healthy exercise and a great way to sightsee all the vistas on the lake road. Also enjoyed the hot tub and firepit making s'mores. The only "surprise" was that the boathouse was across the street, but it's a very short walk of only 50 yards, so not a concern. We also enjoyed going in to the little town of Helen to sightsee, float the river, pick up groceries and supplies at the old-style grocery store and go to the old mill store to purchase some genuine milled southern food. Also, all the hiking you can ask for at the nearby gorge. The owners are excellent at communicating and answering any and all questions. Just try to make sure you get as many questions answered ahead of time since for the most part you'll be out of cellphone range, which is actually a blessing of sorts. Have already recommended this property to a very good friend who is also a cabin afficianado and he's really looking forward to scheduling a stay there, too. We fully intend to go back again since we enjoyed ouselves so much and got that laid-back, relaxed vacation you envision anytime you create a mental picture of the perfect mountain getaway retreat!

We had a good time. Seed Lake is a small and quiet lake. The owners were helpful, honest and accommodating.

Owner response: We are very glad you all had a good time. We love that our lake is quiet which makes it fun for water skiing, wakeboarding, tubing, canoeing, kayaking and of course great fishing. Thanks again for choosing our place for your vacation.

Spent the long weekend with friends and kids aged 9-18. Everyone found something to love about the place. Between the creek, the lake, the hot tub, and the great kitchen that held a crowd, a fun time was had by all.

Lake and Mountain Home all in one

Review Submitted 07/02/12

My wife and 2 dogs rented this house for a week and all 4 of us enjoyed our stay. The back and side of the house sit at the base of the mountain range and has a creek running along the side of the house. We brought our dogs and they loved the backyard (flat area for them to run), creek and lake. The house itself had all the creature comforts of home and well decorated. We used this house as a base camp and explored the surrounding area doing hikes and eating great food. We will go back.

Even Better Than It's Described!!

We spent our 6th wedding anniversary at this cabin and will definitely stay here again. The setting is quite private, the creek next to the house is stunningly beautiful, and the cove on Lake Seed where the boathouse is located is very quiet, beautiful and brimming with fish. The house is awesome - wood everywhere inside, with lots of personal touches and artwork to enjoy. It is beautifully decorated and better equipped than the houses most folks live in - there were two of just about every item you would need or want in the kitchen. The owners have lots of info on things to see & do in the area, restaurant info, maps, etc. If you stayed there a month you still couldn't go through all of the games, books, DVD's, etc., provided. We've stayed in a lot of vacation rentals all over the country for a lot of years, and this is one of the best yet. We will be back, probably with family in tow - it would make a great family reunion venue. Our kitten, Josie, who accompanied us, also gives it 2-paws up :>))

A Great Time....

We had such a wonderful time at Seal Creek Lake House. There was plenty of room in this beautiful lake home for nine adults. The kitchen was well stocked and had everything we needed and more. We enjoyed grilling and eating together at the table that was large enough for all of us to have plenty of elbow room. Evening found us around the table again playing cards and board games. The bedrooms were comfortable as well. Family room was great also for TV viewing, hanging out or reading. We also enjoyed fishing and swimming at the boat house, a perfect place to tie up our boat. The boat ramp was within sight of the boat house. The surrounding area is beautiful also. We hiked the trails and road our bikes. Plenty of sight seeing areas in the vicinity also. Wish we had been able to stay longer and hope to return again. The owner was quick to respond to all inquiries and sent addtional info and pictures when contacted about the house.

Best Vacation Ever

My family of 4 and my best friends family of 5 stayed very comfortably in this gorgeous retreat. This vacation was exactly what we all needed. The home is beautiful, the lake is breathtaking, the public boat dock is very convenient (we took our jetski), and the views are phenomenal. The area provided us a chance to hike the Tallulah Falls Gorge and Angel Falls. It's the perfect place to do nothing or do just about everything. Loved it.

Perfect Mountain Home

Review Submitted 07/25/11

My family and I spent the 4th of July at this wonderful home and it couldn't have been more perfect. The lake is the perfect temperature and the boat house has everything you need. If you rent a boat from the local marina or bring your own the boat ramp is 100 ft from the dock. The house has so much mountain charm and spacious enough to escape young kids. The covered porch has great oversized chairs to relax in while you watch a rain storm and there is a fire pit to roast some marshmallows on. The kitchen is gorgeous and we were able to cook every meal and have every utensil we made need which made our trip even more enjoyable. The running stream along the side of the house is so peaceful...what a wonderful oasis.

My family choose this incrediable lake house for our holiday get together. It couldn't have been better. The hot tub was great, the fire pit was fun for the kids and even though it was too cold for the lake we loved staying inside. They had tons of movies, books and games for everyone. We can't wait to come back in the summer! thanks for a great time!!!

We had a wonderful week in your home! Loved the view of the creek from the kitchen window ... so peaceful. Great kitchen ... had everything we needed. Loved the master shower. The boys loved fishing off the boathouse dock daily and the dogs had a great time too. Lake was beautiful and secluded. Didn't want to go back to reality ...

Our family had stayed in this wonderful home last year. This time we brought my brother's family with us. The home is so lovely and decorated in such a welcoming manner. We felt we were staying at a friends home! Lake Seed is just beautiful and perfect for our boat. The kids had so much fun tubeing and water sking and we adults really enjoyed our evening cocktail cruises! The evenings were so clear and cool that we really enjoyed the hot tub too. We would recommend this home to anyone and can't wait for our next summer visit. Right now we are trying to arrange a Fall visit for the leaf color. We can't wait to come back!!

Had a great weekend stay at this home. Flowing stream out back provided hours of play for the kids. Also, good hiking/exploring opportunity on the property. A swim dock and boat house with good swim area were real attractions for the whole family. Cottage is cozy and what you may be looking for in a mountain get a way.
