The Gathering Place is an immaculate vacation style home - even the yard. We like to cook, not grocery shop, while on vacation, so we appreciated the large pantry and other large closets. The amenities gave all ages of our family fun things to do.

Our stay

Great newly renovated property, everything set up so you feel welcomed. The owner build steps to the dock, so we had easy access to water. The only recommendation for the owner is to provide a reliable WiFi. We bought an extender and made it work, Mark provided us with information needed. Thank you Mark, we had a great time!

Super cute and clean lake home with comfy beds. Love the backyard and view. Enjoyed the kayaks, paddleboards, and lake mat in the quiet cove. The home includes everything you need for a great getaway! Very convenient boat ramp a few driveways down (within walking distance) which made it easy to bring our boat. Great communication with owner. Looking forward to returning next summer!! Thank you!

Forced family fun.

It’s truly a great little house. Owners were great and attentive but not overbearing. The WiFi isn’t strong enough to really work and stream tv - no cable, we really missed sleeping late due to thin curtains. Overall. A Sweet vaca.

Beautiful Property!

The house and grounds are beautiful. Our family had a terrific time! The house is completely newly renovated and the yard/dock area are immaculate. We had asked for an early check-in, but didn't get the door code until 2 hours after the agreed upon time. Kitchen could use more/nicer equipment (everything was plastic and only 1 of most cooking utensils, hard to cook a full meal that way in my opinion). We only had 1 garbage bag for the weekend. Had to use grocery bags once that was full. Overall a wonderful weekend, just some fine tuning that could have made it perfect.

A Fun Fall Break

Very clean, well-maintained, nicely-decorated rental home. This was our second stay at this rental & we would definitely like to stay again in the future. The weather was warm for October, so we were able to enjoy our pontoon boat…boat ramp is only 2 doors down which is very convenient. Beds are comfortable. Well-equipped kitchen has everything you need. Our family also enjoyed spending time around the fire pit making s’mores. The dock is also very nice & is located on a quiet cove. Friendly, helpful owners that respond very quickly to any questions that you might have. Very enjoyable, relaxing stay! :-)

Relaxing Lake Time

My family & I had a great time at this property. Easy drive from Atlanta, great location on the lake. The place is nicely decorated & has great outdoor space: front porch with 2 rocking chairs and back porch view of the lake with plenty of sitting area. Peaceful, relaxing and great views of the lake. And an added plus to staying here is the 2 kayaks and paddleboards, which was a lot of fun. We also enjoyed playing corn hole. The owners responded quickly to questions we had. We hope to visit again soon.
