About this house rental

Begin your lake days sipping a hot cup of coffee on the spacious deck overlooking Lake Oconee and its beautiful backdrop of green trees. Stroll down the deck and across the grassy yard where you find 2 extra large Adirondack-style chairs and fire pit before you reach the dock. At your private dock, where you can tie up your boat. If you don’t have a boat, 2 adult kayaks are included for a day out on the lake!

After your water adventures, make your way back up to the cottage featuring central air conditioning to help beat the Georgia heat. Make yourself at home on the comfortable couches in the living area and turn on the smart flatscreen TV to find a good show to watch.

As soon as you walk in the door, the wide open floor plan in the main living space makes it easy to maneuver around the 1,700-square-foot high ceiling cottage. Easily step from the couch to the kitchen, a complete breakfast bar with bar stools, brand-new stainless steel appliances, a fully equipped with all of the necessary cookware. Prepare delectable meals and serve them to the group at the dining table adjacent to the kitchen.

If you prefer to dine al fresco, head out onto the deck with ample outdoor seating and lake views. For dessert, roast marshmallows around the fire pit in the yard.

Before calling it a night, have a movie night. If you’re still wide awake, challenge your travel companions to a Nintendo Switch Smash Bros Ultimate game, board games, cards or foosball in the game room!

Once each exciting day comes to an end, you’ll rest easy in any of the plush memory foam beds in the inviting bedrooms.

Nice place that really fit our needs. However, I had trouble getting check-in information from the host, the property had no written instructions for checking out, and the thermostat was haywire, with air conditioning running all night despite supposed setting at 75.

The host was kind and communicated well. The marina is extremely close—you can see it from the deck—which was very convenient. We also enjoyed the kayaks, and the master bed was comfortable.However, the property needs cleaning and maintenance. The exterior had a lot of algae, mold, or both on the siding and deck, making the deck slippery. Some of the railing also appeared rotten. Inside, the vaulted ceiling was noticeably dusty, and much of the furniture was worn.The nearest grocery store is more than 20 minutes away, which would have been helpful to know beforehand.Most importantly, I wish the host had provided boating safety information for Lake Oconee. We were visiting from out of town and did not know the lake contains extensive areas of submerged timber. We only learned this after seeing a sign at the marina and asking people at the boat slip. We were told to stay far from the buoys, but unfortunately stayed far away on the wrong side and hit an underwater tree, causing major damage to our boat. There is an online map showing hazardous areas, but it takes some effort to find. For a rental with a dock, a link to that map and clear warnings should be included in the check-in information.Guests are also asked not to flush toilet paper, which we found awkward and unpleasant. Overall, the location and lake access were great, but the property needs maintenance and clearer information for guests bringing boats.

This house was perfect for what we wanted to do. We wanted to stay on a lake, while being close enough to Atlanta so we could spend a couple of days in the city. Btw-the aquarium is amazing. The cove was perfect for kayaking and fishing without having to cross paths with some of the bigger boats and the jet skis in the larger part of the lake. The house had everything we needed to make meals at the house. The covered part of the porch was a great place to read or eat outside without getting too much sun. We grilled some nights and sat out by the fire pit most nights while my son fished from the dock after being in the kayak all day fishing. The host was very quick to respond to all of my questions.

I was a little worried about the size - 1200 sq ft - for 6 people, but it was really open and provided plenty space. The house was located convenient to get to grocery store and restaurants; but we cooked in and used the grill for the most part. The dock was great for our rental boat and the lake is wonderful. It is furnished as a rental - everything is very basic / low-end. The bedding was sparse - if you like thicker blankets or quality sheets, you'll want to bring. And there are no extras. One blanket per bed. The outside really needs some upkeep - the bushes are overgrown and block the steps to the house; the house is covered with mildew and needs a good pressure wash. Some minor upkeep and upgrades and this place would be amazing.
