About this property

Lakefront cottage on rustic setting in cove

This is my beautiful home on Lake Oconee. The 0.6 acre wooded lot magnifies the great outdoors surrounding this 2 bedroom, 2 bath retreat from the world. Tucked away in a private cove it features a big water view just right around the point from Sugar Creek Marina. Relax by the fire pit on the hill or take off from your dock to enjoy the great water of Lake Oconee. Canoe available or dock your own boat. Electricity available on the dock. You will be surrounded by nature and woods. Three friendly outdoor neighborhood cats may come to visit. Your own pet is also welcome. The open floor plan has the great room attached to the kitchen filled with new appliances and plenty of cabinet space. Beyond the great room is an outdoor porch with ceiling and open deck overlooking the water. Bathe leisurely in the antique claw foot tub upstairs or choose the downstairs shower. Two bedrooms sleep four and you can climb the ladder to the bonus room to sleep two more. TVs with Roku are ready to watch in the living room and queen bedroom. Fire TV in the full bedroom. Get ready to spend your time on the lake!

We have stayed here before. What is always so wonderful. Is the warm welcoming touches that she has. The place is so nicely done and comfortable. It is also very clean and safe. With any luck will be able to return before the end of fall.

It was wonderful! Cozy, comfortable, beautifully decorated, and peaceful. Great location. Great dock and porch! Stayed outside the entire time. House was stocked with everything and then some. We've stayed at several rentals over the years at Oconee, but this was my absolute favorite- hands down!! Already planning another stay!

Great Stay

The house was perfect for our stay. Everything we needed was there and the house has great views of the lake. The back deck is huge and is an awesome spot for everyone to hang out and relax. We are already making plans to visit Lake Oconee and stay with Karen again.

Amazing View!

The pictures really don't do it justice. The view from the living room, kitchen, and back porch are amazing. The house is clean and cute. My daughter loved jumping off the dock into the lake. My son loved being able to walk out and fish whenever he wanted. We took the canoe out a couple times which was nice. We actually rented a jet ski as well and were able to drive it right up to the dock. The owners left such a nice little set up with some snacks and coffee supplies. I highly recommend this spot!
