We arrived about an hour after check-in time, but had no code to get in. When I attempted to contact the host, the listed phone number was not in service. I had to call VRBO to get in touch with her, but was provided with her direct number. Once we got in, the inside is very nice. A cute cottage with a jetted tub. I was so excited! Stocked with spices, pots & pans, a coffee pot and a sparkling clean fridge. We walked onto the big deck out back and the views were breathtaking. The serenity there is unmatched. Unfortunately, the amount of pine needles and moss spores made it impossible to be barefoot, or to want to hold the hand rail going down the stairs. A few of the blocks making the 2nd half of the stairs are loose, so watch your step.The dock is wonky, but it will hold 500 lbs without worry. We didn't use the boat available as it had 6" of water in the bottom. Alas, we caught a few small fish off the dock, and a big bass broke my line. So there are fish to be caught!We didn't use the fire pit as it was full of spent wood and the area was overgrown and a bit cluttered with other water vessels. Back to the jacuzzi tub...all was well and good until I turned on the jets. The amount of dirt chunks that came out were gross. So were the dead moths on the windowsill. All in all, it was a good stay. The bed was comfortable, coffee was good, and we got the 48 hours of serenity we needed. Crooked lake is beautiful, Atlanta is charming.

Easy to find, quiet place. Clean and welcoming when we arrived. Very easy communication with host and rapid replies. Wish we had more time there to relax! Can’t wait to come back for next years Sno Drift Rally, and spend more time here

No way to plan for this because the listing shows a dock, what looks like a ladder to get into the water, and a fishing boat with a small engine. In reality, the dock had partially collapsed into the water and the motor for the boat was in operative. I wouldn’t have selected this rental had I known that I’d be sitting on the deck both days.
