Lake house for a crowd
We had a family reunion, and the house was a great place for a crowd to gather and the lake provided a lovely place to kayak and paddleboard.

Short of expectations
Had many concerning issues.The place did not seem cleaned properly.As we first walked in I noticed a dead roach in the floor.We try not to be those people who complain so since it was just the one looked over it. But as we were there more we noticed other things. We found many more roaches as well as live ones.Too many to have kept count. There were several yellow stains on the master comforter and looks like they have not been washed in a very long time, cob webs strung in multiple areas, paper towels were all half used with food stains on them, toilet paper half used, some sinks were dirty and the master sinks and shower has a super slow drain causing it to backup anytime we used them.Pool table and light was caked in cob webs and spiders.Basement smelled musty and tons of bugs and cob webs.Basement door lock would not work all the time. Trash left in fridge downstairs and was not clean. Trouble with the washing machine leading to needed laundry not being able to be done.Hand soap on sinks almost empty, back porch very messy and broken items laying around.I read about the five minute walk to the dock but the terrain and elevation makes it harder and feel those things should be stayed better for guests especially for those who would struggle even more so with those conditions.While we intended on spending a lot of time outdoors, yesterday we were rained in and also in the evening like to relax.Furniture is so outdated,uncomfortable,and dirty.No tv inberoom. Not worth price.

Beautiful lake
The lake is spectacular. We spent all day on the water. Beds were comfortable. My teen girls loved having their own downstairs apartment. House and boat need some updating but for the price this is a great deal. And again, the lake is huge and beautiful!

Wonderful Family Vacation at the Lake
We had a wonderful family vacation at Jacquelyn’s place with our adult children and grandsons! It’s in a great location on Lake Allatoona. The two-story dock is fantastic! We brought our own boat, and we had plenty of room to tie up at the dock. When we weren’t out skiing, wakeboarding, and tubing, the whole family spent hours down at the dock swimming, kayaking, and just relaxing! It is a rather long walk down to the lake, but we actually all enjoyed the woodland trail and saw a lot of beautiful deer and other wildlife throughout the week. The house is comfortable and had plenty of space for our family of seven. The kitchen is well stocked, but still had ample pantry space for us to put all our own food. The 2nd refrigerator downstairs came in handy for extra drinks and fruit, etc. We ate in several nights and took a short boat ride to “JD’s on the Lake” two times for dinner. Jacquelyn is a great host - thorough, responsive, and helpful. We highly recommend “The Lakehouse”!!

We had a fantastic spring break spent at the Lake House. It was an easy drive into Atlanta to visit all the things there. It was a peaceful retreat and coffee on the dock in the morning was a highlight. Jaci was very responsive and kind. We would love to come back again.

Great place for teens quiet and private
This house was perfect for our group we had family and a few teens staying. We were in town for a nationals wake boarding competition over at terminus wake park. It was close enough to go back and forth for the comp but far enough away that we didn’t have to worry about visitors. The house is set in a quiet neighborhood with a relaxing walk to the docks. We enjoyed the grounds, rented a boat for the day to enjoy the lake. This house has everything you would need it was so nice not to have to drag loads of supplies. Plenty of toilet paper, paper towels cleaning supplies laundry supplies etc. the teens stayed down stairs and enjoyed having their own private space while the adults enjoyed the upstairs area. We would rent again and had a great time.

Excellent property and location
The house had plenty of comfortable beds, clean linens, towels and TV's. The laundry was well stocked with cleaning supplies. The kitchen had all the utensils, pots and pans, and a coffee maker. We were also able to rent a jet ski from the owner who brought it over to the dock for us. The teens in our group really enjoyed the lake and the dock provided. Highly recommend this property.

Warning: Cockroaches at this house
This was a nice place in a good neighborhood. Not too bad of a walk to the lake. The dock was spider infested, took my husband awhile to clean off the cobwebs and spiders. But from day one we found cockroaches inside the house upon our arrival. We should have just left and asked for a refund day one. We had received a text from the owner that the house was just cleaned prior to our arrival. So the first cockroach we found was dead and we tried to justify why it was there. But we kept finding them, then a live one ran across our daughter’s leg. We texted the owner about it. He didn’t seem too concerned, said sorry and that he would send a pest control person out. We were only in Woodstock a couple of days, but we should have just left the first day we saw a cockroach. After the second time alerting the owner we found more cockroaches, he should have compensated us or something. We had to wash everything we had just to make sure we didn’t carry any cockroaches or eggs with us when we left. It was a terrible disgusting feeling. We just wish the owner would have done something more then just to say sorry. We stay at vrbo’s all over the US and always return to the same ones and make friends with the owners. Not this time. Just feel like more could have been done in response and a warning that there were cockroaches would have kept us from booking this place. We won’t even go into the kayak with no plugs, jet skis not working and we couldn’t find adult life jackets. Wish this would have been a better stay.
