According to VRBO, The Nicklaus Cottage is currently ranked #1 out of 400 properties in the Lake Oconee area based on guest reviews. This is the only 4 bedroom, 4.5 bathroom direct lakefront home located in Great Waters, Reynolds Lake Oconee. This is also the only 4BR VRBO listing in all of Reynolds Lake Oconee that provides access to important amenities like a private neighborhood lakefront pool, tennis court, sand beach, docks and a full service marina.

Entering the property, youare left with the feeling that the cottage is built directly over the water. You will be greeted by stunning views of Lake Oconee and holes number 9 and 18 of the Great Waters golf course, designed by Jack Nicklaus and ranked #46 in Golf Digest's Top 100 Courses You Can Play. This cottage offers the most unique experience in Reynolds Lake Oconee for both golfers and non golfers alike.

The home is situated on a private cul-de-sac, offering the ultimate in privacy. An open floor plan living area includes dining and living seating for 8. A 65 Ultra High Definition television creates the only distraction from the incredible views from every window. High speed, wireless internet access is available from both the indoor and outdoor living spaces. The new kitchen features stainless steel appliances and granite counter tops. The newly expanded lakefront screened porch features what many believe to be the most beautiful and entertaining view on the lake. Covered and screened outdoor dining for 8 was recently added with unobstructed views of the lake, creating the perfect place for a meal with family and friends. A field stone grilling patio was also recently added, adding to the outdoor, lakefront living space.

The home has 3 master bedroom suites and 1 guest suite, each with a private bath. The baths have been recently updated with Italian tile and granite. Each bedroom boasts luxury beds with a King bed in each of the master suites and 2 Twin XL beds in the Guest Suite. The suites are completed with 400 thread count sheets, 40 flat screen HD televisions, incredible lake views and white noise machines for privacy. Each bed has 2 luxury pillow options, firm and soft, to ensure the ultimate night's sleep. We also believe that our guests who expect a 5 Star experience should never have to worry about the sanitation of their linens. With this in mind, you can rest easy with the knowledge that ALL bedding is laundered after each and every guest checkout, including our high thread count duvet covers. A private screened porch was added to one of the main floor master suites providing a private lakefront retreat.

Echo Dots were added to each bedroom and provide access to a limitless music catalog and other features. An Echo was added to the living room providing the same features.

The Nicklaus Cottage is situated in Waterside Village which offers residents and guests access to a private pool (open seasonally), sand beach and tennis court. This is important as unaccompanied guests are not allowed to use Reynolds Lake Oconee member only amenities. There is also a full service marina and a number of private docks reserved for owners and guests only. You will also be steps away from the Great Waters club house with both fine and casual dining available at the Overlook restaurant and the Waterview Pub. (Access to restaurants and other amenities may be limited or prohibited due to ongoing Covid 19 restrictions.)

Minutes away from restaurants, shops and the Ritz Carlton, you can get as far away from it all as you like, or stay at the center of all the activities that Lake Oconee has to offer.

The home has just completed a 6 figure renovation. The home was newly and professionally decorated in transitional, monochromatic tones ensuring that the the lake views remain the star of the show.

The Nicklaus Cottage is intended to provide each of our guests with a 5 Star experience each and every time. We look forward to welcoming you to an incredible experience on Lake Oconee.

    Our family of 4 plus 2 friends (all adults) fit so comfortably in the home. The beds were so comfortable and we had plenty of room to spread out. We enjoyed using the gas grill and the kitchen as we prepared big family meals each night. The close proximity to the marina for boat rentals, and the pool, tennis, and golf added to our entertainment. We even had a private concert across the lake at the clubhouse one evening that we enjoyed from the porch! The house was well stocked and all of the linens were so cozy - including throw blankets on the sofas! The screened-in porch has big soft furniture for lounging in the morning with coffee and a book, plus a large dining table for fun outdoor meals. Kevin was terrific to communicate with and he was able to offer an early check-in and late check-out and that added to our relaxation. It was an overall A weekend and we will definitely return!

    The house is just as described, with nicer amenities and decorations that you'd find at almost any other VRBO. Communication with Kevin was seamless and he always responded promptly. I highly suggest this property for a nice, relaxing lake vacation.

    This home is perfectly laid out for a family gathering, but easily could be used for a couple because it is so cozy. Even so, it is big enough for everybody to have their own spaces to enjoy.It is right on lakefront, which made it easy to dock our pontoon boat every evening after a fun day on the lake. We had so much fun doing lake activities that we were most definitely return. The owner was available. If we needed anything at all, I knew that I could reach out. He checked on us in the middle of our week’s stay there which we really appreciated. We did not lack for anything. Thank you again for sharing your home!

    Property exactly as described. Great location, and amenities (pool, tennis courts, beach access). The host was very responsive to all our needs. Moreover the house was well stocked with everything you would need to cook, grill, and serve a nice meal as well as the basics some properties don’t include like ample trash bags, paper towel, salt, pepper, etc, which makes the trip much smoother. We plan to come back.

    It is a beautiful property with very responsive/communicative owners. So many small touches made our stay lovely. The back screen porch and a large table for dining outside were family favorites, along with the very comfortable beds, sumptuous linens, and even mini shampoo bottles that came in so handy. Thank you Kevin!
