Lake Oconee lakefront private house, private dock, GORGEOUS views
Welcome to SWAY HOUSE, inspired by the Mandarin word for water, 水. Water represents both calmness and adventure, and fuels both mental and physical needs. Our beloved lake house resides on the waterfront of Lake Oconee on a beautiful residential cove. It is the perfect place to relax, rejuvenate, enjoy nature and the water.
___ OUR HOUSE ___ Private Boat Dock to swim, fish, enjoy our 3 canoes, and, of course, dock a boat. We are just half a mile from the boat ramp and you can park your trailer in our front yard. Boat Rentals are available at the Marina.
::: THREE KING BEDROOMS ::: All equipped with 43" TV and Roku * Upstairs Room: King bed, with ensuite full bath * Map Room: King bed, adjacent to full bath with full sized washer and dryer * Disco Room: King bed with ensuite half bath
::: MAIN AREA ::: The KITCHEN is stocked with modern appliances and all you need to enjoy home cooked meals. The main floor's open concept seamlessly connects the kitchen with the dining area and living room. The DINING TABLE seats 6 comfortably and is a great area to play games or puzzles in the house. With its vaulted ceiling and multiple windows, the LIVING ROOM is bright and airy and is furnished with a sectional sofa and two comfy rockers where you can enjoy a 50" TV and Roku.
While children are welcome, the house is not child-proofed. Please consider this when booking.
::: LINENS AND CARE ::: All of the 3 king-sized beds have high thread count 100% cotton white sheets, white duvets in the winter and white matelassé coverlets in summer. All rooms include hair dryers and thick white towels. Some travel toiletries are also provided, for your convenience.
::: OUTDOOR SPACE ::: Enjoy a great view of the lake from the BACK PORCH with more than 100 feet of eastern facing shoreline. This means you can relax on the loungers, grill on the deck, and eat at the outdoor dinner table without roasting in the afternoon sun. In the BACKYARD overlooking the lake, sit around the custom firepit on Adirondack chairs to make some smores or enjoy the view from the back porch. The SCREENED-IN PORCH has seating for 6, so that you can dine al fresco and the bugs won't dine on you! All on a mini putting green, just for fun.
___ LOCATION ___ Tucked away from the main road, the house is 25 minutes off I-20 without needing to wind through back roads. * Publix grocery store is only 4.5 miles away. * Plenty of restaurants within a 6 mile drive on GREENSBORO Rd, including local favorite Silver Moon.
This location is the perfect blend of quaint quietness of the lake, with the conveniences of being near shops and restaurants.

We really enjoyed the property! It was very clean and comfortable. The host obviously goes to great lengths to provide amenities...nothing was missing! The host recommended lots of good local activities, shops and restaurants.We highly recommend this property as a quiet easy-to-get-to getaway.
Great for families and not far from eating options and grocery stores! We stayed with our 3 children for a family’s wedding in Greensboro and the kids loved the house and being on the lake! Gets very dark at night so don’t forget the flashlights! Owner was very friendly and easy to communicate with. Definitely planning to come back again!

We love when guests use the space, enjoy themselves, and create memories with their loved ones. Thanks for the privilege of hosting your family! We'd love to welcome you again.
Traveled with my husband and daughters (8 and 12) and we all really enjoyed our stay. It was easy to rent jet skis/boats at the nearby watersports spots (about 15 min boat ride away from house, 8 minutes by car) and we used the canoe at the house lots. House had everything we needed including tubes to relax and play in the lake off the dock. Beautiful outdoor setting and views from the house and dock. Close to grocery stores and restaurants. Loved ourstay and the host was wonderful!
My extended family and I rented a couple of properties on lake oconee for our yearly vacation. We had a great time at the lake and enjoyed our stay at this house! It was clean and had everything we needed. The location on the lake was calm and peaceful.

Joy and tranquility - and so beautiful.
This home is so comfortable, simple yet elegant, and in a most wonderful location. We will be back!
We had a great time at this property. Outdoor was a huge highlight that included great space, lots of green, and easy water access. The interior was cozy but it was the outdoor space that made this property delightful. Everything was easy and the property owner was great in all pre-stay correspondence!

Thank you for the kind words and for being a great guest! So glad you enjoyed your stay and made good use of the outdoor space and water access.
The backyard is full of shade from many magnificent hardwoods. The lake, dock and canoes made us feel as if at a camp retreat. We enjoyed it all. The house was clean and comfortable but felt like we were in a rustic cabin. Our family and friends rented larger and newer homes nearby but after hours hanging out at their homes and yards and pool, we loved returning to our rustic, quiet oasis.
Beautiful property the home was clean and comfortable. We really did not want to leave the property,. we cooked wonderful meals together. sat around the fire pit, enjoyed a glass of wine on the dock and watched the sun set. Swan with the assorted tubes, took our the canoes, and watched the sunrise with a cup of coffee on the deck. We will rent again.
House was clean and as advertised. Owner knew we were arriving late and turned interior and exterior lights on for us. Which was much appreciated as the area is very dark.
Can’t say much more about the house as we arrived late and left early each day. House was used primarily for sleeping.
This home is adorable!! Jennifer and Erica were fabulous to work with and answered all of our questions with very quick responses! We stepped inside when we arrived to an immaculate home with lovely music playing and the temperature were perfect for a very hot summer day. The beds were so comfortable and the kitchen has anything one could possibly need to cook. The dock is awesome and the view is beautiful!! We were very pleased and cannot wait to go back. It is our favorite rental on Lake Oconee and we have rented several different homes there in the past. This one is definitely #1 for us! Thank you so much for sharing your lake home with us!

We are so glad you chose Three Kings!! We are so pleased that everything was what you hoped. Thank you for the beautiful review, we look forward to having you again!!
I have been to this lake many times and am familiar with the area. Needing something on short notice, this gem was available. I knew exactly where it was, checked out all the photos and read every review..... This place is PERFECT. It is BY FAR the best value in the area. We used the dock and kept the boat we rented there during our stay. We spent HOURS just floating in the lake right off the dock, which is an easy walk, just steps from the house. PERFECT location to just chill and float!! Coffee every morning on the back deck overlooking the lake was the best way to start the day. You are minutes from Publix, shops and restaurants. Angela was amazing and easy to contact (which I only did to tell her how impressed I was with her place), and the house itself is the perfect lakehouse for a quick get away. Already looking forward to the next trip back. If you are considering this place, DO NOT HESITATE.... you wont be disappointed.

Thank you, Brian for the generous review. It was my pleasure to welcome you in the home. You are a fantastic guest (and you sure did make me laugh as well). Come back again!
Location- Stunning sunrise’s with extensive water views! This property faces due East which is not only great for sunrises, but also having the sun in the west in the afternoon makes it much cooler on the property. The property is minutes away from grocery stores, pharmacies and wonderful restaurants. However, you would never know you were that close to town based on the property location nestled on a hill surrounded lots of trees and very quiet. The screened in patio even has a canal that runs along the side of it which makes you feel like you’re surrounded by water.
Boating - The property is located in the cove off the main thorough fare between two bridges, which reduces a lot of the boat traffic and wake action at the pier. The bridges had an 8 foot clearance, which was plenty for our Deep V 18 foot center console to pass under that we brought with us from the coast. The dock had ample cleats, and we were able to secure our boat in the middle of the slip so any waves did not affect the boat. We didn’t even need to put fenders out. This is a huge benefit as a Boater because it protects your boat from rubbing at the pier. Plenty of deep water to enjoy the dock. Nice open Bay Area for tubing, again with limited boat traffic. The boat landing is literally 1 minutes away. Trailer parking on premises! The Property - as advertised and promised! Thoughtfully provisioned house with extremely comfortable beds and bedding. 3 king beds! Great Host! We’ll be back…

Thank you so much for this thoughtful review. Glad you enjoyed the lake and the house. Happy to welcome you back anytime!
This house was very clean and organized. The owner had plenty of kitchen supplies that I normally have to bring from home.
Thank you for such a nice experience!
We rented this lake house for the Labor Day weekend. The house and property was exactly as expected. We also enjoyed the location. The owner communication was great.
We had such a great time at the Sway House. The canoes are a nice touch. We paddled around the lake for a few hours and took in the beautiful setting. It’s set in a nice quiet cove and was very relaxing and peaceful. The house itself is perfect. All the comfort creatures of home with games to play, comfortable places to sit and read a book, and a fireplace out back. It offered a true escape from our busy lives.
Our family has stayed at this property multiple times and we always enjoy our annual lake trip. The location is so convenient to fish tale marina , restaurants and Publix. We cook all of our meals there and the kitchen is very well stocked with all the necessary items to prepare meals. The dock is great for a boat and jet skis. The neighbors are super nice and always chat with us when we’re outside. Angela ( the owner) is so quick to answer any questions that we had before or during our stay. I highly recommend this home if you are planning a trip to beautiful Lake Oconee
Second summer weekend at Sway House and we again absolutely loved it. Perfect location and the house is so well appointed. We will be back.
