Turned out to be the perfect family getaway for our Thanksgiving! The lovely home was immaculate, the beds comfy, and kitchen well-stocked with basic essentials for our meals. Plenty of activities for the kids to do. Although too chillly for the kayaks, they had fun playing games inside & outside and roasting hot dogs around the bonfire. Great location, with Publix and restaurants a short, 15-minute drive away. This is a home we would return to.
This was a great home with a great location. Close to great restaurants and shopping. The home is in a quiet location and is one of the best stocked homes that we have stayed in. The host was incredibly fast and friendly in his response to any questions I had. Overall, it was fantastic and we are already planning to stay here again!
Property was just as listed, clean, accessible with lots of amenities. The host was exceptional with communicating and anticipating our needs. We were a group of 6 and the accommodation felt spacious and comfortable. I would return in a heartbeat! Thank you again for a wonderful stay!!!
There was nothing we needed that wasn't provided. Home was clean and well appointed in the kitchen and baths, laundry, and the dock provided rest and relaxation while watching our grandchildren swim. Family of 6 enjoyed our stay very much and made memories while attending a weekend of wedding fun in the area. Will return if in the area again!
Great home on the lake with all the amenities. Took a boat ride on the Oconee Lake, sat by the fire pit, had some holiday refreshments, did some grilling on the open porch, saw some fireworks and Christmas decorations on the boat docks. Great home owner contact. Thanks for a wonderful time.
We greatly enjoyed our stay at this rental. The house was very clean and had all the accommodations needed. The dock was nice to be able to leave the boat in the water the entire stay. Mark was a great host. My daughter damaged a screen door and he was very polite in regards to the damage. I will definitely be staying here again next year!
We absolutely loved this vacation home! It was located right on the lake at Lake Oconee. The location was easy to find and an easy drive to shopping and restaurants. The home was spotless and loaded with everything you could possibly need. We loved the screened porch, the fire pit, the lily pad, and the dock. We cooked on the grill two times. Check in was easy. Mark was wonderful to work with also!

Great Family Lake House
The lake house was everything our family needed. We had plenty of space for us to spread out. It has a Great view of the lake. Our family loved swimming off the dock. We were able to bring our own boat which was nice to have right there at the house. The house was very clean and we had everything we needed to cook and grill out for a large family. We will definitely be booking another family vacation there for next year.
Of all the properties I’ve booked on VRBO, this is the best. We had a party of 7 who came from Florida, South Carolina and Georgia for a Fraternity reunion and Fall gathering. Each of the guests was amazed by the cleanliness and amenities. (Think perfectly equipped kitchen, ample linens, stocked bathrooms, wood for the fire pit, two cofee makers, plenty of bar glasses, comfortable beds and more). The host was so communicative and texted to ensure our arrival went smoothly and was accessible throughout our visit.
We hated to leave and will be back.
We had an absolutely fantastic stay at this lake house! The property is beautifully maintained and offers everything you could possibly need for a relaxing getaway. The house is spacious, clean, and well-appointed with modern amenities. The kitchen is fully stocked, making meal prep a breeze, and the living areas are cozy and inviting. (The only one thing I would love to have on the kitchen is a small saucepan to cook hard boiled eggs).
The highlight, of course, is the stunning lake view. Waking up to the serene water and enjoying sunsets from the deck was an unforgettable experience. The private dock was perfect for fishing and swimming, and we loved using the kayaks and water mat provided.
The owner was incredibly responsive and helpful, providing clear instructions and great local recommendations. They truly went above and beyond to ensure we had a wonderful stay.
We can't wait to come back and would highly recommend this lake house to anyone looking for a peaceful and scenic retreat. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us!
This is the second time we've stayed in this house. It fit our needs and that is the reason we chose it again. Perfect location, nice and quiet and close to our venue. Our host was very nice and professional through the whole stay. We've enjoyed the layout of the house. It just worked for us.
We were in town for a wedding and the house was great and just as described. The property owner was super responsive with any questions during the weekend. We will definitely be back!
We enjoyed our stay very much and I was impressed and appreciative of Mark's thorough communication and timely responses to my texts. Highly recommend.
Our stay was wonderful! Host is accommodating and communicative. The beds were very comfortable. We had everything we needed and more for a relaxing girls weekend.
This was a picture perfect lakefront property. My daughter her husband and their baby stayed in the apartment above the garage and it was so nice for them to have their own space, while the rest of the adults could stay up and visit. We were all very comfortable and really enjoyed our time there. Could not have asked for anything better.
