So, my wife usually ribs me for being a "workaholic" because I tend to work even when I'm at play. We had SUCH a FUN time here that my smartphone and laptop were hardly a distraction. The home is spacious and well-stocked for a vacation, the boat and equipment all worked great, and we absolutely loved our time there. Not to mention, we know the owners, and they are some of the best people this planet has to offer. 10 thumbs up!

This property was was everything and much more. This was our yearly family spring break retreat. The owner was very helpful in the reservation process. Transaction went smooth and stress free. There was all of the outside amenties needed to enjoy the lake durnig the day. We enjoyed the fire pit in the evening for smores and story telling. The men enjoyed the pontoon boat for fishing and relaxing. The ladies enjoyed the nearby shopping center for a day of shopping therapy. Look forward to returning in the future. The Todd Family

We love going here! We try to go every year and have been blessed to actually go more than that. The view is amazing, the location is amazing and the house is amazing! Weve had 10 adults there at a time to only having my little family of 5 there. Its perfect for adults and perfect for kids! The lake is wonderful too, its never crowded! We highly reccommend this lake house!!!

Owner response:Hoping to add kayaks to the armada, so get working on your cardio; I can see kayak races in your future!

The Girls Art Retreat

Let me start by stating that the property owner was very responsive from our first inquiry about renting the house. We are 4 women who work, volunteer extensively, and maintain our families. We usually travel at least once a year however due to life's circumstances we hadn't traveled in 2 years. Our thoughts after each hitting high stress moments were to spend a weekend in the mountains so we decided to rent "A Peace of Paradise" for a girls weekend. Upon arrival we were greeted with a welcome note from the owner on the fridge. The house is so cute and each room is framed with inspirational art, which were perfect for helping us to unwind. The bedrooms were all spacious and super comfy including the lofted sleeping area. The dock was very spacious (bigger than what we expected) and the amenities (grill, hydro bikes, kitchen etc.) were plentiful and accessible. Everything from glasses to dishware to even spices for cooking were in the house. We had a blast relaxing and creating art. We painted wine glasses and canvasses on the deck. To wake up each morning to a beautiful lake/mountain view was absolutely incredible. We will be back soon! Thanks!!

Owner response:Thank you for sharing your art work with us, especially your drawing in our guest book! We look forward to your return visit!

We have been holding family reunions at this house for years. I would not think of going anywhere else and the grandkids ask every year as they are leaving if we are coming back next year. The listing and pictures do not do it justice and the owners have been great. This is like a mini resort with waterfront views. I would recommend this to anyone who wants have a great time. The fact that it is close to Atlanta is just icing on the cake.

Owner response:It wouldn't be September at Lake Arrowhead without your family! Hoping to update the pontoon with new seats this year! See you in the fall~

Family gathering

We had such a fun time at this lake house. With our grown children and young grandchildren the water trampoline was a big hit. We also enjoyed the water bicycles and the paddle boat. The house was clean, and had everything we needed. We were even able to enjoy adult and child TV at the same time with all the TV's around. The generous supply of games gave us fun nights and the children's books delighted the kids. The owners were very accomodating to us and we would really recommend this house for a family getaway. We enjoyed dinner at the nice clubhouse one night and the kids took advantage of the pool one day (There are two there). The house was comfortable and well stocked for whatever we needed. It is a great place on the lake, secluded yet on a wonderful, deep water section.

Owner response:Love knowing that your family time was so wonderful and memorable... please come again, you were wonderful guests.

Our family of 5 stayed in this wonderful home over September break. What a fantastic time we had! The kids LOVED all the water toys (trampoline, boat, water bikes) as well as roasting marshmellows on the deck. They even caught several fish with the fishing gear provided. The house was beautiful, very clean, and extremely comfortable. The owners were so accommodating and helpful. We cannot wait to go back!

Owner response:Love it when children get to come to the lake. Watching them sail off the trampoline/launcher makes for the best pictures and fondest memories.... we are getting a new fire pit for the dock this year, so bring on the smores!

In October of 2009, we received a request from the Tori and Dean Show to rent our home during their season 5 filming of "Tori and Dean across America". They were touring in a motor home and had plans to stop at Lake Arrowhead to surprise "Patsy" (episode 2) with a home make-over. Tori and Dean with their two children, stayed in our home. Liam stayed in the "Blue room" and Stella stayed in the "green and pink room ". They were super guests and left a nice note in the guestbook.

To The Brocks, Thank you so very much for allowing us to use your home! It is a lovely place to stay. This is the most well stocked house I have ever stayed in. The view is excellent and the dock is nice. We appreciated all the extras (card tables, rec equipment). I hope you find that we left the place exactly as we found it! Thanks again!

My mother's birthday would not have been so wonderful without our weekend in this warm and beautiful lake home. We all enjoyed having our own rooms, the pontoon boat, the fishing rods, the wildlife, the comfy couches and the gorgeous view. In addition the owner was a very gracious host and made our reservation very smooth. We look forward to returning!
