Our family of 5 (with 2 teenagers) had a great time over Easter Weekend. It was lovely waking up to lake views every morning, hanging out at the dock during the day, and sitting around the fire pit at night. Great setting. Great location. Great views. Great house!

Good Trip!

We had a great time here, and really enjoyed the lake and the view. We also enjoyed the paddle boards, and the plenty of board games they had. A previous review had stated something about the overall cleanliness of the place, and I was concerned. Unfortunately I would have to agree with that review, as the cleanliness of the place was subpar in my opinion. The communication with the host was great, and overall was a good trip!

We enjoyed our stay at the lake house. We have 3 active boys and the paddle boards and kayaks kept them entertained most of the time. The house is located close to stores and restaurants. We saw lots of deer in a neighborhood close to the house. The house is clean and has a well stocked kitchen. The host is quick to reply and answered all questions promptly. I highly recommend!

Fantastic

I chose the property for its proximity to Atlanta. Just needed a getaway and wasn't expecting much. Laura's home was phenomenal. It was immaculate, the kitchen made me want to cook a Sunday dinner. It has all the best cookware. The bathrooms have all been renovated and there's a game for everyone in the group. The outside just gets better. The firepit was great and the dock was even better. It was equipped with kayaks, stand up boards and a jet ski dock. We can't wait to return.
