Our stay on the lake was just perfect! We have a 12 year old and a 14 year and we all had the best time! The house was so spacious, a beautiful view of the lake, and perfect location. We went to Snow Island @ Margaritaville (about 15 minutes away) , spent an evening in downtown Dahlonega (about an hour away), and went on a self-directed tour of film locations of Stranger Things (about an hour away). The hot tub was a perfect way to begin our day and end of evening. We would 1 million percent stay here again. Thank you again!

Our family had an amazing time at this vrbo! It was perfect for our family of 6! Its a quiet and cozy place, and the kids loved having their own dock access for fishing and swimming. Hot tub works well, and we even did some deer watching while out there. We would love to return and stay stay again.

Beautiful house and very clean. Nice view. We had a great time playing golf and hiking. Lots of restaurants nearby for delivery. Hot tub was nice - heated up and ready for us. Read other reviews about the parking and the stairs. It was not a problem for us, but an outdoor light on the back stairs is badly needed. The kitchen has the basics essentials for cooking and eating in. Missing a fewThings that would have made itNicer - salt and pepper, a few coffee pods for the first morning and a corkscrew for wine (we left ours there). Overall a very nice property and stay!!

Communication from the host was great, loved the location. House would’ve been a fabulous house in its day. Was clean, great facilities, just a little tired in places. Overall though we had a great stay, was able to get dropped off by boat!!! Deer grazing nearby in the mornings and evenings- definitely a magical location.

The Cozy Cottage in the lake was as advertised. So comfortable and stress free. A wonderful 3 nights. Close enough for a quick run to the market for supplies, but feels a million miles away. Great view of sunrise. Peaceful cove, nice dock, and comfortable for our group of 5.
