Our family gathering included 19 adults and 8 children ages 5 & under. Our parents once had a home on Lake Jackson, so this was a trip of memories for all of us. This home provided ample gathering space inside, and the pool proved a great place for outside gathering. Beds were comfortable and rooms were clean. The kitchen had plenty of space for cooking and most of the utensils we needed. We noted several previous guests had suggested we bring our own sharp knives and disposable dining utensils which was helpful, and they were needed. Our host, Ronnie, was great to offer suggestions for boat rentals and quick to respond to questions about the homes. When the alarm on an owner's closet began to beep, he came right away to make the repair so we were not inconvenienced. The home has been loved and used well and could use some refreshing, as others have mentioned. The screen porch had a lot of cobwebs and needed a good dusting. But the space for being together more than made up for the shortcomings. Air conditioning worked GREAT! We had plenty of hot water. And the views of the lake were fabulous. We are grateful that Ronnie and his family have made their home available for others to share.

Wonderful family time! Large cabin (home) on a lake w/ nice pool/hot tub. Cute second home stairs away. Concern: # of bathrooms. Main house: 1st floor: full bath 2nd floor: 1 bathroom w/ shower; shower w/sink; shower & sink only; sink & toilet only. Little house: 1 bath w/shower (Total: 4 FULL bathrooms) PLUS: Outdoor camp shower house/w 2 shower heads (worked great for littles & teens) Result: NO bathroom problems for us! In talking to the neighbors we were told of the great damage of tornados. We could see progress in repairs. Nice screened in porch. Tennis/basketball courts: very fun & in good shape. Some new decking, new hot tub cover. We rented a pontoon for two days; loved our lake time. Clean & spacious bedrooms at reasonable price in comparison to other houses we have rented over the years. AC worked great in the Georgia heat. Ronnie responded to our requests & worked to make our stay comfortable. (We needed more chairs as we all wanted to sit around the dinning room table & he had them there within an hour.) As to any bugs? -- It is Georgia - in July - on a lake. Think cabin. Bring: games, pool toys, extra towels (1 set/guest supplied), hair dryer. Only kitchen item we needed was a hand mixer, otherwise we found kitchen stocked enough to fix homemade dinners for 26 each night. Kroger delivered groceries. Be aware: Loft: 2 twin beds up steep ladder. Limited privacy. Roomy, private, nature -- loved our family time together.

Great place for large groups!

My family of 18 booked this home for a wedding nearby. The house comfortably fit all of our family. We were able to host a rehearsal lunch on the deck with plenty of room for parking and space for people to hang out. It was nice to have a large kitchen and grill. We enjoyed the tennis quart, playground, and hot tub. It was too early in the season to enjoy the lake and the pool. The view of the lake was just amazing. Even though there were limited bathrooms, but we made it work. The kitchen was not well stocked for how large the house was. We wished we would have had more towels for our large group. Any questions or concerns I had before I booked, the host was willing to resolve. The whole property could use a freshening up and maintenance. Overall, it met all our needs and was a good stay.

The property was just as described and pictured. There were 28 of us in all for a family reunion. The property manager was very kind and responsive to the minor issues we had. In my opinion, the kitchen wasn’t “fully stocked” enough for 28 people with things like serving dishes, sharp/steak knives, plates etc. and was missing minor things like a peeler, and cork screw which we just purchased and left there, so they have them now :) The bathroom in the downstairs room with the bunk beds is not functional and we assume that is what caused the sulfur smell in that room. The kids slept on the couches, of which there were plenty. The upstairs room and loft in the large house were wonderful. Eleven of us sat together on the oversized couch that last night to watch a movie, and it was cozy and lovely. Since we were there in winter, we didn’t spend much time on the porch, but the view was still beautiful from inside and there are very large windows all along the wall and porch to see and enjoy the lake. The sunsets and sunrises were amazing to watch even from inside. I agree with other reviewers that the property itself could really use some TLC and updating. It was nothing that affected our stay though. The cottage is colorful and cute! I think it is set up so kids might be in the bunk bed room, but logistically for us, an adult was in that room, so be aware that to get to the one bathroom from the King bedroom, you have to go through the bunk bed room.

Best lake houe inga hands down

We have stayed at many different vacation rentals as Our family gets together every year. This was a great location with lots to do on the property. From pickle ball and tennis, to swimming, to going out on the lake (bring your own equipment/boat - we planned ahead). This easily accommodated our 15 people. Do plan ahead for flatware. There was not enough for a large contingent. We brought plastic ware so not an issue. The owner was very responsive. We will be back!

After initial distress, we really enjoyed our time together in the pool, on the tennis/Pickleball court, around the table and on the porch! The bunk room bathroom was not functional which could have been a problem but some of our family was unable to come so we moved mattress upstairs to allow easier access to bathrooms. Ronnie was very responsive when we asked questions or needed help. We rented a pontoon boat to take into the lake which was so fun. Kitchen was equipped to handle all of our cooking. The two separate houses worked well as some people are early risers and others not. House could use some TLC - screen repair and more thorough cleaning, but we had a wonderful time being together here.
