Very quiet community. Yard is very secure for dogs. Property is in the back of a cove. Safe for the kids to kayak. House was clean and comfortable. The only problem we had is the boat lift was up and did not work. So I couldn’t park my boat under the cover. Just tied it to the dock. Would definitely go back again.

Hello Doug, we appreciate your feedback and definitely ask a professional to come inspect and check the boat lift as it has not been used since last boating season. We usually do not allow our guests to use our boat house and lift for liability purposes. Thank you, Ela

Nice property

Good location for us to stay with our dog. Lots of room for her to roam. We were there for a reunion and it was close which made our stay easy. Host was great at communicating with us.

The place was great! The owners were very friendly! Only complaint is about the neighbors. She complained the whole time we were there. But other than that the place is great and back up in a quiet cove.

Peace & Quiet on the lake

What a beautiful experience on a unique property. Everything on the listing is accurate. The kayaking was beautiful getting out there and watching the boats causing a bit of wake with a beer in hand. The "Chapel" was a fun experience whether sauna or get in the hot tub. Still close enough to Milledgeville for dinner and drinks, but I recommend just bringing everything you need and take advantage of all the amenities.

Thank you for your review! That’s what we always do, stock before heading to the lake, have all food and drinks at home, then relaxing and enjoying the lake! We are so glad you enjoyed your getaway and looking forward to hosting you again! Ela

The listing doesn’t do this place justice. My family and I had a wonderful getaway on the lake. There’s a lil store on the corner 3 mins up the road which had any and all of our forgotten things. The house was so comfortable and elegant. The house was clean, well stocked for any cooking.we just had to bring the food. Every time I contacted host she replied immediately. We brought our own boat and had plenty of room to dock our boat plus the host had many things we used in the lake. There was enough kayaks for us all to go out together and tow floats as well as regular floats. The jacuzzi hot tub was very relaxing at the end of each day, we plan on getting one for our home. The fenced in yard was great for our dog. There are dog owners in each side of the property but they are lil dogs and my dog didn’t pay much attention because of the fence, we just had to be careful at the dock area my dog got into the next yard before I knew it through the docking area. All in all it was wonderful and I am definitely booking our next stay here again.

New Years Getaway

The star was the hot tub ‘chapel’ room. Large and completely private. Check in and host response excellent. Overall cleanliness was excellent, including bathrooms. The kitchen is tight and some appliances were stored on top of fridge. When retrieved we noticed some dust/grease on the top of microwave. Minor, but it was there. Unfortunately, weather not that great but host provides lots in support of outside activities. I could tell the host spent time on the details in and out to provide for guest comfort. Our disappointment was it was more remote than we expected in regard to shops and restaurants. Have to drive into town. Not a super long drive, but with the density of houses on the lake we expected more. I would highly recommend for those wanting privacy with a love of lake living.

Margaret, thank you so much for your review. We will definitely address the concerns with the kitchen appliances that are on top of the fridge with our cleaning team to make sure they check after every guest :) Thank you for letting us know! I am so glad you enjoyed the chapel as much as we do! Please come back to visit us~ Thank you, Ela
