    This updated cottage was perfect for us and our dogs! The kitchen was well-equipped, bed was comfy and the screened porch was awesome! Everything was super clean throughout. Nice lake view, beach and dock. Owner was very responsive and helpful. Great location that felt like a private getaway, but close to anything we needed. The floor plan would work well for two couples or a family with kids. Thanks for a wonderful week!

    We absolutely loved this rental. The beach area was great for family activities. Plenty of space to run around, swim, toss a ball around and have the fire pit going. The dock was great for fishing and older kids. The communication was easy and reply’s were prompt. Wish we had more days there.

    We have stayed in 2 of the 3 Hayes lake/beach properties over the years and this home more than once. The added beach is wonderful, the location is great, house is clean, check in is easy. We have now added a daughter in law to our family and this home accomodated 4 adults and our dog well. Look forward to our next stay.

    The house was in a perfect location with excellent view of the lake and passing boats. It was equipped with everything you needed from the kitchen to the bathrooms. The upstairs screened in deck was perfect for our nights of gameplay, and our dogs could sit out there with us without fear of them going astray. The host/manager was the best. I have come across yet. quickly replying to my every question and concern, id say she went above and beyond. Although it did rain every day of our vacation, we did manage to get in the lake every day in between the rain. The outside had a very cute beach that the kids enjoyed and it was equipped with canoes and kayaks and lifejackets. I managed to catch the beautiful sunset from the dock our last night there. it was beautiful to watch. There are no cons to this rental property or host and I highly recommend and will be back.

    We loved our stay at sweetwater. The house was very clean and had everything we needed for our stay. They had pots, pans, knives silverwear, utensils, towels paper products and even some fishing poles. We enjoyed renting the boat a few days. The boat is older but did the trick and the kids loved being able to use the tube!

My dad really enjoyed having the screened in porch and sitting out there while sipping his morning coffee.

    The Lake House was accurately listed, and a Wonderful relaxing vacation home. The small beach area was great along with the fire pit, canoes and dock. Inside was very comfortable and well stocked with all the essentials. The neighborhood was safe and quiet. the hosts were easy to get in contact with. If we get an opportunity, we will definitely stay here again. It was everything you would imagine a Lake Cottage would be like.

    What a beautiful getaway! The cabin was spacious, cozy, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The views of the lake were absolutely stunning, and we loved spending evenings by the fireplace—it added such a warm and relaxing touch. The beds were incredibly comfortable, ensuring a great night’s sleep after our days of exploring. We were also so grateful that the cabin is pet-friendly! It was wonderful to bring our furry companion along to enjoy the trip with us. This place truly felt like a home away from home, and we can’t wait to visit again. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a peaceful and scenic retreat!

    The property was exactly as advertised; clean, comfortable, and spacious. Initially, there was no problem with any of the amenities, but eventually there were a few speed bumps. In each case, our host was immediately responsive and worked to resolve each issue as best that could be done. There was no indication of neglect, only poor timing/luck. Only one issue remained unresolvable, and we were graciously compensated for the inconvienence. I would recommend this property and would stay there again should we visit the area in the future.

    We spent most of our time on the spacious and beautiful screened-in porch. The views are lovely, and Georgia's (the owner) listing accurately describes and depicts her welcoming home. Fishing from the property's dock was a highlight. Georgia is a treasure and highly responsive. Thank you for being so kind.
