CHARMING HOUSE ON LAKE SEED IN RABUN COUNTY-

It was heavenly to escape the hot Atlanta weather at this wonderful mountain lake house. We were able to have relaxing summer get away, without a major road trip. The kitchen/living area set-up is perfect for entertaining. The house was clean, the kitchen was well stocked, we loved spending the days on the dock.

From the moment we arrived we just knew we were in for a relaxing vacation. The kids immediately settled in and walked down the steps leading to the dock and swimming area. As parents, we really liked the quiet inlet this house provided and the quiet nature of the lake. A few friends from Atlanta had always recommended the two other larger lakes in the region, but we settled on a less "trafficy" one. I didn't see a single jet ski while I was on the lake, which is nice, and enjoyed my quiet kayak excursions. The house itself is ideal for a family. With televisions upstairs and downstairs everyone was happy prior to dinner and bedtime. The kitchen is well-appointed; you get the feeling that the owner has rented houses in the past that just skimped on the essentials. Plenty of pots, pans, and accoutrement for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The bedrooms are cozy and comfortable. We rented a similar house last summer and were appalled at the quality of bedding and large amounts of dog hair. Not here! The owner is accommodating and responds to questions and emails promptly. All in all, a gem, worth the money. We'll be back next year.

Our family had a terrific vacation at this house. The photos do not do the house justice. There is a beautiful sunroom with a great view of the lake, and an upper deck that was perfect for a morning cup of coffee or a happy hour cocktail overlooking the lake. The grounds are full of butterflies and humming birds. The house was in great condition, very clean and well-maintained. It is decorated in a very warm and personal style, and has lots of interesting things to look at. There was an installed baby gate at the top of each set of stairs - which was vital for us with a toddler. The dock gets some sun and some shade most of the day - so it was perfect whenever we wanted to swim. The house is in it's own little cove, so there's no issue with boats coming in too near the swimming area. The North Georgia Power lakes are all semi-remote so I'd plan to bring in all your groceries with you, but from this house you are only 20 minutes away from the Lake Burton Grocery which is a small grocery/convenience store where you could pick up emergency provisions, and they also sell excellent BBQ. The owner was in the house the week before we were and made special accomodations to make sure everything worked for us. The kitchen is gorgeous and has everything you need, and is well labelled so you remember where to find things and where to put them away. We hope to make this a yearly tradition, and would recommend the house to anyone looking for a quiet vacation.
