About this property

This private 3-bedroom cottage overlooks Jackson Lake in Monticello, Georgia, home of Berry's Fishing Tournaments and the Deer Capital of Georgia. Like most vacations at the lake most of your time will be spent outdoors alongside the water's edge.

The home has one large bedroom suitable for mom and dad featuring a queen size bed and an en suite bath. There is a room with two twin beds for the kids and one bedroom with a queen perfect for grandma and grandpa or an older sibling needing their own space. All rooms have blackout shades. The home can sleep up to 6 people comfortably.

The kitchen has enough room to fix the perfect southern meal! It has a fridge, stove/oven, microwave, toaster, small coffee maker and dishwasher. But for cooking meals, folks around here usually use the propane grill located outside on the deck. We have an array of glassware, plates, utensils, etc. that you are welcome to use. If you need something specific (Ex. rice maker, crock pot) I would plan on bringing it with you.

The photos are about 95% accurate as things are sometimes moved around, redecorated, etc. but they are indicative of the overall look-and-feel. Sometimes we need to replace duvet covers/linens and other home good items to keep the place looking the best we can. This is a well loved cottage that we hope your family will love too!

What should you bring? A few beach towels, floats, some sunscreen, bug spray, and sandals. If you have a favorite blanket or pillow bring those too. As for food, we recommend that you stop on your way and pack a cooler with food - you can reuse the cooler lakeside! There's plenty of beer available at Larry's Four-way which is nearby, but if you want something specific you might want to snag it before leaving the interstate. Most enjoy grilling out and eating at some of the local country eateries around town. While we get you started with paper towels, toilet tissue and trash bags we do not supply an unlimited quantity, so if you feel like you use a lot please be sure to grab a few more at the store before you arrive.

Please keep in mind that we are a small rental on vrbo, so if you need the amenities of a hotel this might not be a good fit for you. We are offering a charming quaint country experience on Jackson Lake!

Our occupancy is maximum of 6 guests at one time on the property. No parties or events.

Great vacation

I started looking at beach rentals and quickly realized this was not feasible with inflation. So I started looking at other options. We have never stayed at a lake house before but Kimberly’s place looked ideal and was a good price. Communication with Kimberly throughout the entire process was great. She responded promptly before and during our stay. She was always kind and helpful. The house was exactly as described and as the pictures show. Locating it was easy and it is in a good location to several towns in the area. With the keyless entry, check in was a breeze. The house was clean when we arrived and we were very pleased with the overall look of the home. Furniture and beds were comfortable. The kitchen had pretty much most everything we needed. She also provided a roll of paper towels and several rolls of toilet paper in each bathroom. They had plenty of towels and rags for the bathrooms. We are a family of 4 and the house was a great size. My kids decided to stay in the room with two beds together so we ended up actually having an extra bedroom. The proximity to the lake was wonderful! Just a few steps across the yard and you’re at it. I loved the shade tree in the back as well to sit under when not in the water. They provided several chairs to sit by the water with as well as the table and umbrella on the deck. The dock was nice and the water was pretty see through during our stay. It’s fairly shallow around the dock area and you could touch pretty far out and even past the end of the dock. With small children, this was good. There was a little bit of debris from people littering in the lake that had washed up on the shore (even some broken glass) so I would definitely recommend water shoes for all. Bring some floats! The sunsets were incredible from the dock and house and so beautiful. I’m thankful we had great weather. You can hear some traffic from the bridge while outside and in the master bedroom. I didn’t feel like it lessened the quality of our stay. I had a white noise machine in our bedroom so it helped with the road noise. We stayed from Tuesday to Sunday. The amount of people on the lake was pretty low key until the weekend. It was busy on the weekend but fine. The kids enjoyed the waves that the boats sent our way. Lol we rented a pontoon boat from Berry’s boat dock just right across the lake. We didn’t see neighbors around until the weekend and it was a quiet area. We will definitely go back and rent from Kimberly again!

Location on the lake and dock access is great!! Clean, except for pan with an ear of corn left in the oven. Kitchen is very well equipped, best of any VRBO we have previously used. Would definitely stay there again.

About the host

Hosted by Kimberly Corentin

This home has been in our family for over 70 years. Currently owned by my grandmother and previously owned by her father who built it himself, our lake home has a lot of meaning to us. The boat ramp was poured on my grandmother's 16th birthday and just recently repaired to like new condition! We are excited to share our vacation home with you and your family! We have built wonderful memories here and we hope your family can take a break from everyday life and make some great memories too!

What makes this property unique

House was completely renovated in 2014 including modern kitchen with granite counter tops, hardwood floors throughout house, slate tile in bathrooms, a new 16x20 dock, expansive deck, paved boat ramp and much more. The house has vaulted ceilings, breath taking views from living room and master bedroom suite and a great floor plan for entertaining.

Our guests are renting the entire property including the dock and boat ramp. We hope you will immerse yourselves in the experience of "lake life"! Bring your bathing suit, canoe, kayak, rod and reel and take advantage of all the lake has to offer while you are here.
