About this property

Cheerful 3 Bdrm Lakefront Cottage on Lake Oconee

Our lakefront cottage sits on a quiet and peaceful cove on beautiful Lake Oconee. The setting is in bucolic Putnam county amid pastures and farms, yet still close to lots of amenities. The dock is the perfect place to slip into the water and cool off during a hot summer day, or just to hang out and relax by the water. Take out the kayaks early in the morning and watch the sun rise for the most peaceful and serene bonding time with nature. There are several marinas close by to rent a boat for the day as well.

Enjoy the large, grassy backyard, play cornhole, or relax on the hammock swings overlooking the water. The main living space is an open floor plan where the whole family or group can hang out together or watch a movie on the big screen tv. There’s a large table for 8 to play board games as well as enjoy meals together. At night, hang out on the expansive deck, grill your favorite meal and watch the sun set over the lake. There is a large Master Bedroom and private ensuite with a whirlpool tub, body sprays in the shower and a king bed. The second bedroom has a queen bed overlooking the lake and a third bedroom with two sets of bunk beds. The home has a very relaxed and comfortable vibe, which we hope will make you feel at home right away!

Karen, Thanks for your feedback. We realize that there were heavy thunder storms in the area during your stay, which could have brought down sticks and branches. We have already reached out to our landscape company, who professionally maintains the property every two weeks, to swing swing by and make sure everything is neat and tidy.

Family Vacation

We loved everything about this beautiful home and property. Situated in a small cove with a dock. We loved using the kayaks that come with the rental. The view is beautiful and the home is exactly as described. Comfortable beds, lots of seating inside and outside on the deck and a great fire pit. Check in and check out very easy. Communication with the property owner was always prompt. We hope to return.

Property was fabulous! Enjoyed fireworks on the lake! The issues we encountered last year were definitely taken care of! No cobwebs in the garage, and my granddaughter enjoyed the garage games this year without fear of bugs lol. House was well stocked with toiletries, linens, towels and soaps! Rick and Stacey allowed us an early check-in as well, which was greatly appreciated after a long drive to Georgia. Thanks for a wonderful place to stay!

Perfect Thanksgiving stay

My family and I stayed here over the Thanksgiving Holiday! We had a lovely stay! The game room kept my husband and nephew entertained! We used the kayaks multiple times and enjoyed the fire pit in the evenings. Communication with the host was super easy!! Perfect kitchen to prepare and eat our thanksgiving meal! We had more than enough space for the amount of people staying with us! The distance between the house and lake is perfect especially if you have littles and don’t want to worry about any accidents with the water. We really enjoyed our time!

Nice House is Very Small Cove

The house is so nice and super clean! The location on the lake is tucked back in a super small cove with a super small dock, so we should have rented a boat, but overall a good experience!

About the host

Hosted by Rick and Stacey Goldstein

Host profile image
Stacey and I moved to Atlanta from Washington DC since 1992 and have always wanted a lakefront home. These past 18 months of dealing with the Covid-19 pandemic allowed us to make this a priority and we finally embarked on this new adventure together. Our "almost" grown kids love coming to the house and are enjoying the relaxed lake life this provides. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

Why they chose this property

This is a perfect property tucked into a small, private cove with a lakefront dock. The cove is perfect for swimming, floating and enjoying your favorite beverage. It has a large backyard for kids to play, and a fire pit to enjoy making s'mores in the evenings. Our large deck overlooks the lake and is one of our favorite spots for enjoying a cocktail before dinner as the sun sets overthe lake.
