The property was amazing and exceeded our expectations! Perfect location and house was updated nicely. Spent a lot of time on the back porch and swimming off the boat dock. We would definitely book here again!
The Gathering Place is an immaculate vacation style home - even the yard. We like to cook, not grocery shop, while on vacation, so we appreciated the large pantry and other large closets. The amenities gave all ages of our family fun things to do.

Thank you so much for your review. We are so happy you enjoyed your stay and hope that you will come back soon.
The property was great. Nice, quiet cove. Clean, kitchen well stocked. Dock was awesome. We floated on large pad, went kayaking and also rented a pontoon for a few days. We would definitely return.

Thank you! We are so happy to hear you enjoyed your trip & look forward to renting to your family many times in the future!!
Everything about this house was perfect! The owners thought of everything you could possibly need or want! The beds were all perfect. Everyone got a good night's sleep every night. I could not say one bad thing about this house or the property. The owners were very nice. We had a great vacation!
Great newly renovated property, everything set up so you feel welcomed. The owner build steps to the dock, so we had easy access to water. The only recommendation for the owner is to provide a reliable WiFi. We bought an extender and made it work, Mark provided us with information needed.
Thank you Mark, we had a great time!

You are so welcome for the help with the WiFi. We do currently have the strongest WiFi available in our area & understand the frustration when the signal is weak.
I looked for a house with: 3 BR, 2 Baths, master with TV, on lake, covered dock or partly covered, easy slope to dock. This property fit my list. I was overjoyed to find that my drive was pavement all the way.
Super cute and clean lake home with comfy beds. Love the backyard and view. Enjoyed the kayaks, paddleboards, and lake mat in the quiet cove. The home includes everything you need for a great getaway! Very convenient boat ramp a few driveways down (within walking distance) which made it easy to bring our boat. Great communication with owner. Looking forward to returning next summer!! Thank you!
It’s truly a great little house. Owners were great and attentive but not overbearing. The WiFi isn’t strong enough to really work and stream tv - no cable, we really missed sleeping late due to thin curtains. Overall. A Sweet vaca.

Thank you! We’re so glad you enjoyed your stay. The WiFi is the strongest available in our area & both smart TVs show they have excellent signal. I do understand the frustration when signal becomes weak. We hope you were able to enjoy some of the many games inside & outside that we provided for your vacation. The curtains are made from light blocking fabric, but will not black out the sunrise.

Beautiful Property!
The house and grounds are beautiful. Our family had a terrific time! The house is completely newly renovated and the yard/dock area are immaculate. We had asked for an early check-in, but didn't get the door code until 2 hours after the agreed upon time. Kitchen could use more/nicer equipment (everything was plastic and only 1 of most cooking utensils, hard to cook a full meal that way in my opinion). We only had 1 garbage bag for the weekend. Had to use grocery bags once that was full. Overall a wonderful weekend, just some fine tuning that could have made it perfect.
Very clean, well-maintained, nicely-decorated rental home. This was our second stay at this rental & we would definitely like to stay again in the future. The weather was warm for October, so we were able to enjoy our pontoon boat…boat ramp is only 2 doors down which is very convenient. Beds are comfortable. Well-equipped kitchen has everything you need. Our family also enjoyed spending time around the fire pit making s’mores. The dock is also very nice & is located on a quiet cove. Friendly, helpful owners that respond very quickly to any questions that you might have. Very enjoyable, relaxing stay! :-)
This house had everything we needed. We loved sitting on the porch drinking coffee, eating breakfast and taking in the morning view from the lake. The property was in a great neighborhood and the owners were very nice and helpful.
The house is recently remodeled and super cute! We had lots of fun on the kayaks and paddle boards. The fire pit was perfect for s'mores. The cove is quiet with friendly neighbors.
I would definitely recommend staying here!
The house had beautiful views. It was very peaceful and relaxing. We enjoyed the kayaks and fishing off the dock. House was so nice and comfortable. It had everything we needed. Owner great to communicate with.
My family & I had a great time at this property. Easy drive from Atlanta, great location on the lake. The place is nicely decorated & has great outdoor space: front porch with 2 rocking chairs and back porch view of the lake with plenty of sitting area. Peaceful, relaxing and great views of the lake. And an added plus to staying here is the 2 kayaks and paddleboards, which was a lot of fun. We also enjoyed playing corn hole. The owners responded quickly to questions we had. We hope to visit again soon.
We did a lot of fish and the area was super clean and amazing. Will definitely be coming back
