We loved staying here!! Everyone had their own space in the two levels upstairs but the bottom level that opened out to the lake was the best. All of the furnishings were very nice and we had plenty of dishes etc for all our meals. The canoe was an added bonus that we fully enjoyed as well. GREAT TIME and GREAT PLACE!!!!

Rosie, thanks for your kind words. I am glad your family had a great time. Using the canoe is a great way to explore the lake. The terrace level is a fantastic area for large groups to socialize, eat meals and just relax. It is my favorite place of the property. I hope to see you again next year. Thanks, Jim
We had an excellent stay at this property! The terrace level was amazing as was the top balcony with the added swing. It was nice to be able to spread out amongst the floors. The beds were comfortable and amenities were very nice! Our kids enjoyed kayaking in the cove. The view of the 4th of July fireworks can’t be beat! We would definitely stay here again!
We had a family reunion, celebration of life event with a large group of all ages. The place was totally awesome. Amazing location, exquisite, beautiful inside and out. I would highly recommend this location to anyone looking for a 1st class home with plenty of space. It has everything you need to have a huge gathering but also offers very private bedrooms and a spectacular view on the lake. We will be back!
What an excellent set up for entertaining a large number of people. We celebrated a 40th birthday party and couldn’t have picked a better location. The pictures don’t do it justice and they are pretty great pictures. Can’t wait to return.

I am thrilled your group had a great birthday celebration. I look forward to hearing from you again and setting you up with a great time next year! -Jim
Awesome stay! From our initial contact and throughout our stay, our host was awesome! We rented the entire villa including the terrace for our Thanksgiving family gathering and everything was perfect! Each unit had those extra special touches and attention to detail with guests in mind. Our group had plenty of room to gather for meals on the terrace level or still away to a quiet sitting area, balcony, or screened in porch to read. Fishing off the dock, canoeing on the lake, playing corn hole—we did it all! Jim was very responsive to the random questions we had (we didn’t have many as he provided so much great information upfront!). Five stars all around!!!

Hi Sherri,
Thanks for the kind words. We work hard to provide a great service when guests stay with us. I am glad you had a great time while staying at our villa. I am thrilled the weather was nice and you were able to use the canoe. For 2020, we plan on adding standup paddle boards and kayaks to our lake toys. I hope you have a chance to visit again in 2020.

A Perfect Place To Stay
Before I can even get to the gorgeous villa at Lake Oconee, I have to express my gratitude to the host/owner of this beautiful place. From the moment I placed my inquiry of renting the villa for the weekend, Jim was right on top of things. I recall having a question when I submitted the inquiry and Jim went out his Sunday way to call me and answer my question. From there it only heighten the expectations for the weekend. Any question or concern I had Jim was there to answer. Jim offered his personal website with pictures of the villa, as well as his Facebook page and information to where I could rent boats & jet skis! I was celebrating my 30th birthday and I wanted to check to see how the place looked in person so I could see how the chef needed to set up. Jim allowed me to take a look at the location before I got down there. Above and beyond people! Needless to say, the villa looked just like the pictures on his website. Cuscowilla was clean, spacious, updated, well decorated, beautiful furniture, soft clean beds, plenty of fresh clean towels, luscious green grass in the back...the pictures do not give you the wrong idea about the place. Its exactly what it shows. Jim understood how important it was for me to celebrate my birthday and he made sure of it. He provided passes for the entire party to get in at the gate to come out and celebrate with me. At the time, he looked for someone to cater food for me. He afford places to eat, places to go out on the boat. I needed more tables and he provided those to me. He even left me a birthday present in the Fridge which I thought was very nice and personal. Jim did not treat me as a client/customer. He treated me like family and that alone goes above and beyond just renting this place. That type of customer service made this villa a great experience than it could have been. I even have to brag about his property manager, Pati. She was there to help by any means possible. The outlet outside on the hospitality suite did not work, she came over to take a look at and provided an extension cord for us to use. Always available at your time of need. We had a great time at this villa and Jim's superb customer service made this happen. We will definitely be returning next summer. Just because of his gracious southern hospitality, I am looking into renting another one of his properties on St. Simons Island. If you are looking for a great time this is the place and Jim is your guy! Thank you again Jim!!

Thank you for your kind words Josh. It was truly a pleasure working with you to celebrate your 30th birthday. I hope to hear from you and your friends next year when you plan your next big event.
We had a gathering of family and friends to enjoy the Thanksgiving holidays and had the entire villa in addition to another property. The lower level was the perfect gathering place for meals and entertainment. The entire villa was very well appointed and the kitchen had everything you could possibly need. We highly recommend the property and would definitely enjoy coming back for another stay.
My party of 8 enjoyed our stay at the property. We loved the balconies and how quiet the property was. Our neighbors were super friendly and we took advantage of the water toys. I would most definitely be booking again in the future.
We couldn’t have loved this property more. The listing is exactly as described. It was roomier than we anticipated. The owner is top notch on communication. We plan to visit here again.

Leslie,
I am thrilled that you had a great time at the lake. Thanks for the kind words. We look forward to seeing you again soon.
Thanks,
Jim
We stayed here with our family that includes kids in teens and twenties. It was perfect. The “D” suite was my haven and the spacious bottom floor was an excellent gathering spot. We loved being able to use the paddle boards. This would be great for a multi family get together as each bedroom can be a
Our three children and their families came to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary. We range in age from 78 to 3. There was something for everyone to do. We spent the majority of our time outdoors. playing with the canoe, paddle boards, kayaks, cornhole or just floating in the river. Young Harris boat rental is only a short ride away and we rented jet skis and a ski boat for a day.
We cooked and ate every meal at the house. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. Instacart delivered our groceries and we had no need to go anywhere.
From the oldest to the youngest everyone asked as they left when we were coming back. Thanks for helping us make such special memories.
The place was fantastic and was perfect for our family trip. We were extremely pleased with the house and location. The basement is incredible and we will try to come back in the future.
I celebrated my 50th birthday at this wonderful getaway at the Lake. The hospitality suite is what made the event special because we could all congregate together and watch the kids play in the lake. The neighbors were very nice and we shared the water toys which were fun. The lake, of course, is beautiful and we were able to enjoy a home cooked French meal in the kitchen. The hosts were helpful.
We had 14 people from age 9-79. The whole place was very nicely furnished and the beds are comfortable. We had lots of fun in the lower terrace level eating, playing games and pool. We also enjoyed the canoe and paddle boards.
Great location on the lake. Close to Publix and restaurants and the marina.
Highly recommend!
This property was perfect for our family getaway. Great location. All 11 of us had plenty of room to spread out and enjoy all the great amenities provided with this property. Jim is fantastic to work with. Would highly recommend staying here.

Stayed here for work while in the area. Enjoyed this place so much I am going to do a family vacation when it gets a little warmer. Would suggest to anyone this place will not disappoint.
We had wonderful communication with the owner before and during the trip. The villa was beautiful and perfect for what we needed for our group for the week.
The perfect lake getaway for a large group! Definitely take advantage of the lower level. We spent the majority of our indoor time down below.

About the host

Why they chose this property
We chose this Lodge Villa because it is in the perfect location within Cuscowilla; it is right in the middle of the gated community and directly overlooking the lake. Lake Oconee provides us with an area to escape from the fast paced Atlanta lifestyle. We go to Cuscowilla on Lake Oconee to relax.
What makes this property unique
At our Lodge Villa we can overlook the lake from any level and any room on property. All rooms have direct access to outside decks and patios that overlook the lake. We have a large grass area in back for the children to play, with docks directly behind the property. In addition, we provide the option for access to the Terrace level, which is a great place for entertaining.
