Unique One Bedroom Apartment with Dock on Lake Allatoona!

Unwind, relax and re-charge at this private oasis only a block from Lake Allatoona, where you can dock your boat, jet ski and swim during your stay. Enter your completely self-contained 1,000 sq ft bright downstairs suite with many windows through a separate entrance to a dog-friendly fenced yard where you can grill out, enjoy the fire pit, relax on the hammock, or lounge on the covered patio. You’ll love the natural setting of this professionally landscaped sanctuary surrounded by an abundance of birds and wildlife.

This spacious, lower level one-bedroom apartment, with plenty of parking, offers a private bedroom with queen bed and a 46” flat-screen TV, large living area with a 50” flat-screen TV, seating for four on a plush full-size sofa sleeper and a leather chair-and-a-half recliner, and a desk and dinner table for four. Prepare a meal in the fully equipped kitchen, grill out on the patio, or drive to nearby restaurants. Upscale Towne Lake is only ten minutes away with a wide variety of outstanding restaurants and shopping or drive twenty minutes to historic downtown Woodstock with its quaint shops, great cuisine and numerous entertainment options. Many of our quests enjoy shopping at The Outlet Shoppes in Woodstock, only thirty minutes away, featuring 87 stores like Saks Fifth Avenue, Nike, Polo Ralph Lauren and Ghirardelli Chocolate, just to mention a few. Lake Escape is situated in north Metro Atlanta, less than an hour from downtown Atlanta, Hartsfield Jackson International Airport and the lovely North Georgia Mountains. And, we are 17 miles from LakePoint Sports Complex - about a 20 minute drive.

Swim, boat and fish in one of Georgia’s top-ranked lakes from our private two-story dock which can accommodate your boat, jet ski or kayak. Know that the dock is not adjacent to the property. It is five houses down the street and a short work through the woods. Play a game of cornhole in the yard, or on rainy days, play cards or a game of chess/Chinese checkers, watch one of the dozens of movies in our DVD and video library, or cuddle up with a book from the bookcase. A spacious desk allows you to comfortably keep in touch with work or post photos of your trip on Facebook.

This is a very unique lake getaway in a special neighborhood, “The Victoria Cottages,” a secluded golf cart community. Only a couple minutes down the road from Victoria Park is a large sandy beach, picnic area and four boat ramps to launch your boat, or eat at the Sunset Grille overlooking the tranquil water while taking in a beautiful sunset on their large deck. Only a few miles away, you can rent a boat at the Little River Marina. But please drive slowly through the neighborhood because the area is populated with “domestic deer” that roam throughout the community at liberty and with no fear. The Cottages is the first cottage area from the inception of Lake Allatoona in the '50's. It has narrow streets and is safe to walk or bike anytime of day.

Be aware that the water level of the lake is lowered in the winter by the Corps of Engineers, so the dock may or may not be accessible. Lake Escape is a great getaway to share with someone special during the fall and winter months as well, enjoying the firepit, staring up at the stars from the hammock, or just catching up on your favorite TV programs and movies.

Know that we live in the upper level and please note this is NOT a party or large get-together property. This retreat is a great place for a family, couples and a few friends to enjoy the water and outdoors peacefully. We are not looking for large groups whose true intent is to party at the house or for large family or friend get-togethers. This apartment is not suited for more than 4 people. Guests can have a few guests for day visits only. Only two vehicles and a trailer are allowed. Additional vehicles must be approved by us. Even though we have a good natural buffer of mature trees around the property, we want to respect our neighbors, so we enforce an outdoor quiet time after 11:00 PM. We welcome a limit of two well-behaved and crate trained dogs to join you during your stay (flat $75 per week pet fee). Know that dogs are not allowed on the furniture or bed and are not allowed to be left unattended in the apartment or yard while you are away. You either need to crate them or take them with you when you leave. We have found that when dogs are left alone in a new place they can get separation anxiety and do a lot of damage. All dogs must be approved prior to booking.

As proud new owners and gracious hosts of Lake Escape, we want our guests to know we try to provide every possible convenience. As frequent vacation renters we are aware of what is important to our guests. We’re making a special effort to exceed our visitor’s expectations with special touches that we continue to add. Our goal is to create a wonderful, memorable experience, one that you will cherish forever so you’ll want to return year after year! We encourage our guests to make comments and suggestions in the guestbook so we can continue to improve the Lake Escape experience!
