In addition to stainless appliances, the open kitchen features granite countertops and everything you'll need - whether fixing something simple or a holiday feast. There is enough room for the entire family at our harvest table with seating for 8.

Lake Oconee is an ideal spot for family vacations. Renowned for its natural beauty and serenity, it has more than 80 miles of shoreline available for outdoor recreation.

The lake is a popular place for fishing, boating, jet skiing, canoeing, kayaking and swimming.

If you like cycling, you will enjoy exploring the area's gently rolling hills and fragrant pine forests. If you're feeling a little more adventurous, the Oconee National Forest, with miles of mountain biking and hiking trails, is just a short distance away.

Loved our stay!
Very clean, simple, and adorable cabin. Great views of the river and lots of amenities that come with the place. Located in a small town (closest store is a dollar general and abt a 20 min drive to get to a grocery store + be aware of lots of steep hills/no street lights) We absolutely loved the fire pit, open kitchen concept, and family area. Wifi was spotty at times but we are on vacation so it was great to disconnect a bit! TV came with multiple platforms to watch movies/shows. Kitchen was stocked as well. Beds were very comfy and there is the perfect amount of space. Pet friendly and accessible! Def booking again!

Great location but needs some work
This was a much needed mental and physical break for myself and husband along with our son and my elderly mom. The location on the water is beautiful and the dock is excellent. The fishing is also really good in the location just fishing off of the dock. The home needs quite a bit of updating. We had no remote and no way to watch the TV in the livingroom. The upstairs bedroom TV was also without any kind of remote. The only TV that worked was in the downstairs bedroom. The hot water heater was somehow messed up. The water in the only shower was incredibly difficult to regulate. It would be scalding hot one second and with the tiniest correction in the other direction it would be freezing. This made for difficult and quick showers, for sure. The wifi would not work at all. The PIN we were provided didn’t work and when i inquired about it to the management they couldn’t find out any further information to correct the issue. There was a very limited amount of cooking utensils and pots and pans. One of the shelves inside the cabinet had collapsed . The house really just needs some updating and some attention.

Relaxation vacation
This was our 3rd time staying at this cabin in the last year. My husband has family close by, so we love renting this cabin. It’s sound a beautiful area and it’s nice and peaceful. If you have our own boat you want to bring you can use long shoal boat ramp which is just a mile or 2 away. Super convent.

Perfect place for a family stay on the lake !
We booked this property a day in advance and were pleasantly surprised about the location of this property and also the comfort and interior upgrades of the cabin. The cabin is located on the water with a dock, where you can fish, pull up a boat, or use their kayaks. We ended up renting a speedboat from one of the local rental facilities, and it was very easy to drive the boat down the lake to our dock to provide convenient access to the lake and the boat. The home is technically a two bedroom, one and a half bath home, but they have made a good use of space by including appropriately sized furniture, open concept, living, and adding beds and bunks into bonus areas. The home is probably too small to host two families comfortably, but worked perfect for our family of five. My only complaint would be that we had a couple questions and left messages for the rental company but they never got back to us. Luckily we w were able to navigate. The issues are cells, and it did not cause too much of a problem. We will definitely be back!

Nice quiet cabin
We enjoyed our time there. It’s was a beautiful area. The only negative thing was there were hundreds of gnats in the house in the evening. And in the morning there were dead gnats throughout the bathrooms and kitchen. . I’m not sure if it’s just the time of year or maybe being on the lake but there was a ton of them. But I’ll take gnats over mosquitoes so it could have been worse. Overall we really enjoyed our stay.

We had a great time and the cabin was very cozy! They have everything you could have possibly forgotten and plenty of space. One of the kayaks seemed to be damaged was the only issue, but other than that everything was perfect! Will definitely be back.

Quiet, relaxing and perfect!
Our family throughly enjoyed our stay!! The cabin was clean and homey! The upstairs king bed was ridiculously comfortable!! The secluded nature of the dock allowed for the family to me off and on rafts all day in the water, jumping off the sock, fishing and relaxing on the water mat we brought. The lake was beautiful out on the boat. Night time bought fireflies and the peaceful sounds of nature - so quiet and relaxing. The hosts were responsive, kind and accommodating! A perfect stay!

Lovely location on inlet of Lake Oconee.
We had a wonderful time sitting on the deck overlooking an inlet of the lake. We especially liked it because it wasn't directly on the lake. Very private and great AC. However, there were little things like lamps that didn't work and one really huge problem. Imagine driving for 8 hours, getting to the house and not a shed of toilet paper anywhere. Not good and not acceptable.

Cabin retreat at the lake
The cabin was well kept and clean. The cabin was big enough for six of us. The 1 1/2 bath was a stretch for us, but we made it work. The property is located between Greensboro and Earonton so we had plenty of options for dining. We played on the lake. We all had a great time The only problem with the house was th dock it needs a little work

Awesome weekend get away...
The lakehouse everything and more that we had expected and hoped. The property was clean as can be, well-stocked with plenty of towels and sheets and everything worked great. The deck outside provides and great view of the lake, which we enjoyed a good bit. We used the kayaks quite a bit and certainly enjoyed fishing off the dock with the kids (catfish and bass). ALSO, the dock is well-shaded; there are a few hours of direct sunlight, but a good portion of the day you can sit on the dock and enjoy and nice breeze in the shade :) A couple "big ones" got away, so we'll be back to get 'em!

Nice Covid 19 Break
Beautiful and refreshing place to get away. If you don’t mind stairs and a smaller doc, you will love it. The house itself was spotless and cozy. Our kids loved it! Beautiful big back porch. Loved drinking coffee and relaxing with our little Family listening to all of the sounds of nature. Perfect weather. Loved the afternoon shade at the dock! Beautiful sunset views. Very easy check in and check out. Would definitely recommend this place!

Cabin was clean and well appointed. Could have used a second full bath, but it wasn't a major issue. Nice porch, lake access and view from private dock. Two kayaks were a plus for our teenagers.
