Kids loved it !

We rented a week in June, 2010, and we felt it was worth every penny! I'll say up front- we are 'friends of friends' of the owners (we met them & they were really nice) but even we were blown away by how comfy and relaxing the 'cottage' is!
They've done a great job with the place - our group had 6 adults and 5 kids under 13 (one 10 month old); we all slept well- great beds!!! - & there's plenty to do that kept us all outside- from the 2 person inflatable kayak & paddle boat & the Pontoon boat to the golf & the hiking trails & the park which had a batting cage, b-ball court, horseshoes and a great play area for the little ones....I could go on and on. It was all so very nice. A couple of the moms took the smaller kids to the pool one day and said it was great, too! The pontoon boat is easy to drive & has a 60 hp motor, so it worked just fine for pulling our kids--not on skis, but they have an inflatable. It's a really laid-back lake-- not at all like Lanier or some others. This lake is also PRISTINE. It's really clean!, has lots of nooks and crannys for fish to hide, and it never felt "over-crowded" w/ boats. No jetskies, either! We liked that. I'd say 70% of our time was spent on the lake, either boating or floating...we got great weather, too.
At night we used the grill & hung around the downstairs area-- it was great! That 2nd kitchen downstairs w/ the big table on the screened-in porch is perfect! You get the afternoon sun, too. Very, very nice and relaxing. And the fact that they have 4 tv's kept kid arguing down to a minimum after the sun went down. (Nobody missed a ball game either!)
We had such a great time that I came back to rent again, and realized I never wrote a review before. So there you go....If you want to get away w/ the family like we did, I can't recommend it highly enough. It is so close to Atlanta but when you get there, you really do feel like you're in another world.
I'd even say that it would be a great place to get away w/out the family-- couples weekends, golfing, fishing, etc. Really- the place is very comfortable, & has all the amenities.
