Quaint Cottage w/Water Access

I waited too late to find a place to stay for Thanksgiving, but as it so happens, that allowed me to find this cabin. Since it was Thanksgiving/November, we weren't interested in using the dock, but we did walk down to it and it was quite far. The parking is a little tight if you park next to the garage, but if you park in front of the garage, it's on an incline and you may stick out into the street depending on the size of your vehicle. The steps to the front door can be slick with moss, so be sure to use the handrail. There were a few dead bugs and spider webs throughout the cabin, but for it's location and not being steadily lived in, I can't really fault that and it didn't bother me too much. While there are a lot of towels, there were only a handful of washcloths, you may want to bring some with you. The steps to the second floor were steep and slightly uneven, again, just use the handrail. Speaking of, instead of there being one continuous handrail, there were several handrails all at different angles. Just odd. All in all, I really enjoyed my stay. It was a great place to unwind at the end of the day.

Wonderful stay

First of all the house is stunning. Loved all the finishes they were just so pretty. We loved the location on the lake. Due to time restraints we were unable to use the lake. But would love to return for a longer stay. We loved all the space in house, everyone had their own room and bathroom to use. Owner was in contact and awesome. We would highly recommend this home as a must visit!

The Cottage

The rental was just as described in the posting, the place was very clean, and very well stocked with utensils, and linens needed, the neighborhood was very quiet. The listing was not exaggerated. It is a short walk to the lake, but the view is worth it.

Great visit

We had a very nice stay. Excellent communication with the property manager as well. I enjoyed the walk down to the dock but for our older guests it was a little more difficult. Great place to stay and glad we picked this lovely cottage!

Cumming, GA - Birthday Trip

Beautiful lake cottage on Lake Lanier! This was a wonderful place to stay. The lake cottage had a quaint, rustic charm and the overall “feel” of the place was peaceful and relaxing. Everything was as described, and the lake cottage was well-appointed. Beds were comfortable and everyone was happy to have a queen bed to sleep in. It was great to have a kitchen and washer/dryer for laundry during our stay. Also, Wayne was kind to provide access to the dock for a boat and had a kayak and paddle board available for us to use. Highly recommend! Thank you for a lovely vacation experience. It made this birthday trip memorable!

About the host

Hosted by Wayne E Austin

We purchased this lake cottage years ago. In the summer we use it regularly for the access to the lake, in the winter we sit by the fire and enjoy the solitude so far away from the city yet so close as to be only a 30 minute drive. This is out home away from home when you are not here so we ask that you treat the cottage as your own, you will be welcomed back at any time, it is our pleasure to have you as our guest.

Why they chose this property

There is nothing like a weekend on the lake particularly when the cottage is in a quiet neighborhood on the south end of the lake. The pergola is perfect for breakfast or happy hour, the overhead fan keeps the pests away. The dock is on deep water where the fishing is good and the swimming is equally good. If you have a boat you are welcome to use the dock during your stay.
Take a weekend break from life in the city, kick back and recharge your body, you deserve it and you will wonder why you did not do it sooner. You will be welcome at out cottage.

What makes this property unique

This is not a tract mansion so often seen on the lake... rather this is a quaint cottage, relatively small but comfortable and large enough for the perfect weekend get-away. If your party is six or smaller this will be the perfect place. The cottage is fully furnished with bed and bath linens, life jackets, kayak and canoe and a fire pit in the back yard.
