Cozy Cottage on the Lake

Overall, for the price, our stay was a pleasant one. What bothered me most was that I could not look back at the listing to compare, but I feel the photos were out of date and just HOW steep the grounds were was not well represented. Also, there was only one roll of toilet paper per bathroom, one roll of paper towels, and two garbage bags for a one week stay. I don't mind using dish towels, but there weren't any (plus no extra blankets or towels if someone was cold or wanted to use the hot tub). The hot tub was also in extremely rough shape and dirty. These aren't necessarily deal breakers - heck they might have come to clean the hot tub if I called, but I was on vacation and didn't want to deal with extra - but most rentals provide these minor amenities so it's worth knowing you should come supplied with your own extras.

House was great and views of the lake are amazing. Great house for a pet friendly option. Plan on bringing a couple extra towels, house could use some more. Other than that, great place!

Great view, hot tub was the perfect spot for the cool evenings. Knew it was not handicap accessible but the steps coming down to property were a challenge since there were no lighting on the steps or porch light left on. Overall would have benefited from a good cleaning but thinking the house hadn’t been rented in awhile.

Our stay on the lake was just perfect! We have a 12 year old and a 14 year and we all had the best time! The house was so spacious, a beautiful view of the lake, and perfect location. We went to Snow Island @ Margaritaville (about 15 minutes away) , spent an evening in downtown Dahlonega (about an hour away), and went on a self-directed tour of film locations of Stranger Things (about an hour away). The hot tub was a perfect way to begin our day and end of evening. We would 1 million percent stay here again. Thank you again!

Beautiful house and very clean. Nice view. We had a great time playing golf and hiking. Lots of restaurants nearby for delivery. Hot tub was nice - heated up and ready for us. Read other reviews about the parking and the stairs. It was not a problem for us, but an outdoor light on the back stairs is badly needed. The kitchen has the basics essentials for cooking and eating in. Missing a fewThings that would have made itNicer - salt and pepper, a few coffee pods for the first morning and a corkscrew for wine (we left ours there). Overall a very nice property and stay!!

Very nice view of the lake and quietness. Wish there were less spider webs on the windows and leaves on the stairs to the property. Overall it was a nice place.

Clean and spacious. Steps down to the house full of leaves and tree debris making the stairs very slippery.

Dock was awesome. Parking was terrible

Host not quite receptive to any request.

Beautiful property, excellent communication with property manager.

Lovely home quite neighborhood

Communication from the host was great, loved the location. House would’ve been a fabulous house in its day. Was clean, great facilities, just a little tired in places. Overall though we had a great stay, was able to get dropped off by boat!!! Deer grazing nearby in the mornings and evenings- definitely a magical location.

Our family had an amazing time at this vrbo! It was perfect for our family of 6! Its a quiet and cozy place, and the kids loved having their own dock access for fishing and swimming. Hot tub works well, and we even did some deer watching while out there. We would love to return and stay stay again.

Overall, the house was fine for a few days - the view was nice and the downstairs was spacious. However, there could be an update to the kitchen supplies as some were old and we couldn’t find things like pot holders. The scariest was the parking - especially for two cars - as it was very close to an edge. Also, pack your coolers lightly as there are a lot of stairs to go up and down while loading/unloading your car(s).

We enjoyed our stay at this house! The house is clean and rooms were comfortable! Only complaint is parking and a ton of stairs! But plan accordingly and your trip is well worth it! On a fabulous part of the lake!

Great location and nice house.

Thank you for hosting our wish family!

I have stayed here before and just love the serenity and calmness of the neighborhood. Thank you again for an awesome adventure. Connie

The Cozy Cottage in the lake was as advertised. So comfortable and stress free. A wonderful 3 nights. Close enough for a quick run to the market for supplies, but feels a million miles away. Great view of sunrise. Peaceful cove, nice dock, and comfortable for our group of 5.

We had a comfortable stay at the lake cottage. Could have done without all the rain! Loved the location right on the lake. The surrounding neighborhood is a perfect place to walk. The views of the lake and wildlife are lovely. The house has everything you need. The master bedroom has a very comfortable bed. The bathrooms are also great. Couches and rugs could use some updating to match the rest of the house. Overall, enjoyed staying in the cottage. I loved feeling like we were surrounded by nature!

Definitely needs some owner love. It is not up to par. 1st off when we got there I used the downstairs bathroom and hit was stopped up. The stairs going down to the house have rotten holes in some of them. The upstairs sink does not drain and the kitchen has German roaches.

Too many unstable stairs

The house itself is great, the view is beautiful! We loved seeing deer each day! However, the property needs maintenance, the interior needs upkeep (light bulbs out, remotes need batteries, Master Bathroom sink remains clogged, interior drawers and cabinets need cleaned but the biggest concern was pest control (too many live roaches!)

This is the second time we have stayed here and looking forward to our next trip.

had a good time just alot of steps to dock and house not so good on my body im 62 years old LOL

The house was nice and well kept. As others have said, parking was a little tight but not bad at all. We enjoyed our stay. House was great and had a lot of nice amenities. Neighborhood was quiet and house was close to everything we wanted to.

The property is significantly run down and poses several risk of physical harm. The 30 wooden steps from the road to the back entrance are loose, splintered and steep. the additional 37 steep concrete steps leading to the entrance to the dock are somewhat uneven and crumbly. The wooden walkway leading onto the dock was unsecured on one side, causing about a 20% list and considerable swaying and bouncing. The dock itself is peeling and rotting. The lake view from the house is hampered by the over grown vines and trees. Two of the 3 upstairs bedroom didn't have working air conditioning, The kitchen was ill equipped having only 3 coffee mugs, 1 serving bowl, no useable baking sheets, no kitchen towels, no pot holders. The garbage was not picked up on a regular basis so we made 5 trips ourselves to the compacter site. There were no sealed garbage bins, provided was a plastic box designed to store outdoor cushions. Garbage cannot sit in there for a week in 95 degree heat no matter if it's in a secured garbage bag. This home is a severe accident waiting to happen to an unsuspecting renter. Needs a vrbo employee to go onsite, I don't believe this property meets your standards.

We spent a few relaxing days at the lakehouse. So peaceful. There were deer on the property every day. The lake was fantastic and the water was warm. The house itself is situated on the side of a hill which gradually slopes down to the water. Parking is challenging, but you get used to it after a few times. Yes, it's steep, but not ridiculously steep. Definitely will return.
