We had a wonderful stay here. The kids fished non stop off the dock and caught plenty of fish. We rented a boat from aqua sports adventures and really enjoyed the lake. The home had everything we needed and we truly relaxed and made memories. Thank you!

Exactly what I want in a lake house getaway. Appropriately priced, can fit an entire family. Wouldn’t say it’s great for kids under 10 or the elderly though, very steep property from house to lake. Incredible for young adults 10/10. Do recommend

Great view, hot tub was the perfect spot for the cool evenings. Knew it was not handicap accessible but the steps coming down to property were a challenge since there were no lighting on the steps or porch light left on. Overall would have benefited from a good cleaning but thinking the house hadn’t been rented in awhile.

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.

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!

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.

Overall, for the price, our stay was a pleasant one. What bothered me most was that I could not look back at the listing to compare, but I feel the photos were out of date and just HOW steep the grounds were was not well represented. Also, there was only one roll of toilet paper per bathroom, one roll of paper towels, and two garbage bags for a one week stay. I don't mind using dish towels, but there weren't any (plus no extra blankets or towels if someone was cold or wanted to use the hot tub). The hot tub was also in extremely rough shape and dirty. These aren't necessarily deal breakers - heck they might have come to clean the hot tub if I called, but I was on vacation and didn't want to deal with extra - but most rentals provide these minor amenities so it's worth knowing you should come supplied with your own extras.
