The home is beautifully furnished and welcoming for couples and families alike. The location is located near the local marina and several restaurants. However, we chose to stay on property and enjoyed grilling out and taking advantage of the waterfront property by renting a pontoon (a connection made through owner).

My buddies and I stayed here for a fishing trip, and the setup is unbeatable. Being right on the main channel made it so easy to get on the water early. Great TV on the back porch and awesome fire pit down by the lake!

Love this Lake Tillery property. James made the check in process easy. Home is very spacious (1 suite on main, other suite & bunk room on lower level), very clean, stocked kitchen (drink options were spot on) and amazing water views. We loved the wrap around porch offering another place to dine and relax. Easy walk to the dock and fire pit, where we throughly enjoy our time in the sun and at night! Great location right off 24/27, close to grocery stores and shopping. Dock delivery of tritoon boat was super convenient. We will be back!

Beautiful home inside and outside. The view of the lake was so stunning. Beautiful landscaping. We loved Seating on the porch and listening to birds. They had fishing poles for us to use and life jackets for swimming. Easy access walkway to go from house to boat dock. Inside is a lovely decorated home. Very clean they had all the amenities coffee, creamer, paper towels, soaps. Plenty of clean towels, Also, comfy beds. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay as a family. We hated to leave but we will definitely be back.
