The Interior is reasonably nice, however, there is an insect problem in the kitchen, the air-conditioning worked well if you’re there in the summer, that was a high point, the exterior is in rough shape, but there is a beautiful view of the lake.If you will have more than two vehicles in your party, it is quite a nuisance for parking. Overall, the property has seen better days.

Very comfortable place. Lots of room. Renter a pontoon boat and they delivered it to the dock. Lots of stairs. Baths and kitchen seem to be remolded.

We had a wonderful stay here. The kids fished non stop off the dock and caught plenty of fish. We rented a boat from aqua sports adventures and really enjoyed the lake. The home had everything we needed and we truly relaxed and made memories. Thank you!

Exactly what I want in a lake house getaway. Appropriately priced, can fit an entire family. Wouldn’t say it’s great for kids under 10 or the elderly though, very steep property from house to lake. Incredible for young adults 10/10. Do recommend

House was great and views of the lake are amazing. Great house for a pet friendly option. Plan on bringing a couple extra towels, house could use some more. Other than that, great place!

House was fine, lots of room, perfect for three guests and could’ve accommodated more, pretty comfortable, propane hookup to grill was cool. Wish we had used the hot tub, looked cool. Bug issue in kitchen, outside needs maintenance, decks and dock in a bit of disrepair. Pretty well stocked, but tiny things like no whisk or grill tongs were annoying but we made due. But overall the place is priced well and was good for a guys fishing trip.

Great view, hot tub was the perfect spot for the cool evenings. Knew it was not handicap accessible but the steps coming down to property were a challenge since there were no lighting on the steps or porch light left on. Overall would have benefited from a good cleaning but thinking the house hadn’t been rented in awhile.

Our family had an amazing time at this vrbo! It was perfect for our family of 6! Its a quiet and cozy place, and the kids loved having their own dock access for fishing and swimming. Hot tub works well, and we even did some deer watching while out there. We would love to return and stay stay again.

Our stay on the lake was just perfect! We have a 12 year old and a 14 year and we all had the best time! The house was so spacious, a beautiful view of the lake, and perfect location. We went to Snow Island @ Margaritaville (about 15 minutes away) , spent an evening in downtown Dahlonega (about an hour away), and went on a self-directed tour of film locations of Stranger Things (about an hour away). The hot tub was a perfect way to begin our day and end of evening. We would 1 million percent stay here again. Thank you again!
