Nice retreat for Thanksgiving, although most of the local shops and restaurants were pretty much closed for the holiday weekend.

Couldn't Have Picked A Better Place Everyone Loved it ❤️ 💕 💖 ♥️

e: Booking ID# HA-GQBL35 This family vacation had been booked months in advance of our arrival, with 12 guests traveling in from 3 different states. Check in was fine but on Monday (7/11) we were informed that we had to vacate the premises. First we were told that there had been a noise ordinance issue that had nothing to do with us, but once we dug deeper and talked to the code enforcement officer ourselves we learned that the property did not have proper clearance from the fire marshall for their STR certificate. Obviously this was something they were aware of prior to our check in date. When the property manager contacted us on Monday morning to tell us to vacate the property it put a major damper on the family vacation we had planned on. We were told to call VRBO and ask for the rebooking department to get us into another property. There were zero properties on VRBO that were available and large enough to sleep 12 people. After being on hold with them for 3 hours we learned that their solution was to put us up in hotel rooms. There is no hotel on Lake Sinclair and hotel rooms would clearly not have worked for us because we had $1,000 worth of groceries in our refrigerator and a non-refundable pontoon rental parked at our dock. At this point we had no choice but to take matters into our own hands and find a place to stay that would actually work for us, We were able to find a home on neighboring Lake Oconee. it was the ONLY property available. VRBO told us that this property was not available but clearly it was since we checked into it on that same day. Before moving to the new house we had to return our pontoon boat - we were hopeful that they would refund our unused days but had no luck on that. We had to rent a different boat on Lake Oconee for an additional fee. Not only did this fiasco cause a lot of stress and time for us and cost us a full day of vacation but it also cost us a lot of money as detailed below… Non-refundable pontoon boat on Lake Sinclair = $2451.00 New pontoon boat rental on Lake Oconee = $3470.00 house rental - $7949.00 We know that you can’t make up for all of the stress and confusion and frustration but we certainly shouldn’t suffer financially. The fair solution is to reimburse us for all of our extra expenses. Martha Ingram

This property was not only beautiful and spacious but the perfect place to gather long distance friends! There were so many spaces for us to gather and spend time together from the living room to the bonfire to the dock! Every aspect was clean, thoughtfully planned, and beyond expectations!! We already can’t wait to find a reason to come back!

We absolutely loved our stay at this property. So many unforgettable memories were made with the family. The house was Very spacious and the hosts were extremely accommodating. The location was great and the lake was gorgeous. We would definitely stay here again!

Perfect location in a great house. Room for everyone.

The house was very clean, peaceful and exceptionally welcoming. There was even a little sign out front welcoming us to the property followed up by a basket of snacks and balloons when you walk in. Hands-down the house manager Robert is what made our experience so wonderful. He’s absolutely delightful to deal with, funny and responded very quickly to all of our needs. (we were needy ☺️) we came in late at night and didn’t have time to go to the grocery store on our way there because we had littles with us and they were tired. For everyone who reads reviews to know where the local hotspots are and stuff this will benefit you greatly. Walmart is about 10 minutes up the road. There’s a couple fast food places around there and a couple gas stations but there’s no restaurants for about 40 minutes plus from the house so plan to cook. this is definitely a property where you buy everything you could possibly need and head back to the house to stay and enjoy. It is out in the middle of nowhere but it’s not creepy. There’s definitely people around but as you are driving out to the house it’s a little eerie if you’re not used to the woods. My husband said it was the most peaceful vacation he was ever on because of the calmness of the house and the lake. We will be vacationing here once a year for sure. Everything in the house works great. No issues with light switches, TVs, grills, kitchen appliances or anything like that. The power got knocked out the first day we were there for the whole day and we weren’t bothered by it because the light comes through the house so beautifully and we were there to spend time together. Huge yard for the kids to run around in. Rent the boat at the time of check in because you can’t rent it after your already there. There are some rental places in the area that will bring the boat and put it in the water for you but not at the house. they were around 300$ to $400 for the day to rent from rental places around the area. You won’t regret your stay at this house. The neighborhood is nice and quiet and that matters to us because we are early to bed early to rise. The pictures don’t do the house justice. It’s absolutely HUGE! A lot of space to stretch out and each person has their own privacy. I can’t say enough good things about this house and especially the house manager. He absolutely made our stay worthwhile. He answered all of our questions quickly and helped us out through each step of the process!!

Everything was nice. Arrived to a welcome sign, treats and nice music. Everything was emaculant!

Of all the houses that we have stayed at, this one by far was the greatest experience. The property manager Craig, goes above and beyond to ensure your stay is pleasurable!! I almost don't want to leave a review because I'd love to have the house to myself.

Wow..... This property is EVERYTHING you'll need to make your weekend/ stay complete. The host are only a phone call away to recommend suggestions or help solve any issue if they should occur. This was our second stay here in less than 45 days . We LOVE this property, and wish we could keep it a secret but other families deserve to experience the fun and joy it brings

Our family of 11 loved having such a large property to spread out. Having upstairs and downstairs living rooms was great when the kids wanted to watch a movie or play. The fire pit, large lawn, and dock provided great areas to relax and catch up. The kitchen was well stocked so besides some paper towels, we had everything we needed to prepare great meals. Communication with the host was superb and he even bought some corn hole boards for us at the last minute. He also bought and put together a foosball table, which our kids loved! It’s a good 25 minutes to any decent dining or shopping, but that’s not why we came here so it didn’t really bother us. Would love to come back in the summer and really utilize the lake.

It is quite well hooked up and supplied. Almost too clean if that's possible. Our group had a great time! Property manager made it extremely easy to get everything I needed or know where to find it. Cant wait to go back!
