Nice home with a great view
The house had a very large open living area. It was in a beautiful location. Perfect for a family of four. Close to Athens.

Nice views
Overall it was a nice place. Some spots where the sheetrock was damaged..big holes where the towel rack for the hall bath fell off. Also, no bath mats. So be REALLY careful trying to get out of the shower onto the tile. Also, the master bath has no door between it and the bedroom. So from the bed you can see and talk to your mate who is trying to poop in peace. And all sounds and smells have no way to be contained. But the fire pit was nice. We did use the paddle boat some. The views off the back of the house are of woods and lake. The views from the side of the house look over some not so great views of the neighborhood. We just left the blinds closed. But there's no blinds on the doors or the master bath window (which looks out onto the driveway at head level of the people walking by). So bring some way to hang a towel or something over that bath window. And there's no extra linens, but there is a washer and dryer to renew your towels.

Only real issue was receiving the code for the key and the phone number listed for the contact was out of the country. But once we had access the location was clean and comfortable. Would stay again

Absolutely peaceful comfortable and Lake Life
Everything was awesome! A cozy home clean quiet by the lake! Out in the country but close to my family, stores, and anything I needed and close to everything. I had to do on my trip! My youngest son got married! Terry the host and owner of the property was an absolute attentive gem with any concern or questions I needed answering! A good ole country guy with manners care and a great sense of humor! He was such a blessing due to another arbnb horror story.
I give Terry a rating of 10 as a human being and a very cool spot to stay at when in Statham Georgia.

Pleasant stay
A beautiful view of the water with great sunrises. The house was renovated and was nicely decorated and comfortable. The beds were soft and comfortable and the linens and towels were very nice and soft. Nice touches like complimentary soaps and water/snacks were welcome.
Some small things like a slight odor when we first arrived, maybe a couple more frying pans would have been nice. We did not have dishwasher pods and starting the dishwasher was required on check out. The road in also had some less pleasant homes but no issues getting to the house. However, these things didn’t not detract from our stay, we really enjoyed the views, kayaking and relaxing.
The drive to Athens was an easy 20 minutes via nice country roads which was a big plus for us.

Short stay. Will be back!
We were visiting my sister for her 70th just 15 min away so was perfect, close proximity to Athens and a beautiful view to Bear Creek Reservoir and if you like boating, kayaking or canoing, we didnt do, but even better for those that do. Long lane to house has some mobile homes that were sketchy, but evidentally the area is all getting updated to be a little mini resort
