Wow views@ Family-friendly Lake Oconee! Dock! Grill! Firepit! Hot-tub! PetsOK! | House in Eatonton
3 Bedroom House in Lake Oconee, Eatonton
Less than 90 minutes from Atlanta or an hour from UGA in Athens, you'll find much to do here at Lakeside Family Retreat all year round. (Click "View More".) From the back porch of this airy a-frame, enjoy the quiet sunrise over the lake with your morning coffee. Catch the WOW views from much of the house and watch passing boats from our jasmine-covered gazebo's 'back porch' swing. There's a sand box with stairs into the water and the glider on our private dock is a favorite roost for sunbathers and evening sunset watchers. Paddle our Old Town canoe to a nearby cove. If it's warm, swim, float, fish, boat or picnic. In cooler weather, our fireplace, fire-pit and hot tub add to the 'cabin in the woods' feel. The gas grill and full kitchen are always available; restaurants are nearby, or meals can be delivered, if you just don't feel like cooking.
We're always improving. Take a look at our photos and come see what's changed!
Jet skis, pontoons and other craft can be rented nearby and we're a short walk from the Sun Life Marina (formerly Waterfront on Lake Oconee) with its public boat ramp. Good shopping and antiquing can be found in neighboring Madison, Eatonton and Greensboro. A multiplex movie theater is about 15 minutes away near a Publix grocery store. And you'll be within 10-15 minutes of restaurants like the Mellow Mushroom, Silver Moon or El Agave. The Ritz Carlton complex is about 20 minutes away if you feel like a cocktail on their veranda. Several golf courses, tennis centers, hiking and biking trails and other sports activities are within that same 10-30 minute range, though what is open and available for public use may vary with the season. Within 40 minutes are places catering to shooting and hunting enthusiasts, off-road vehicles, horseback riding, archery and other outdoor adventures. There is an Uncle Remus Museum nearby in Eatonton and 'Andulusia,' the home of Flannery O'Conner, is in Milledgeville.
Parking, vehicles and boats: Our carport, driveway and parking area will accommodate a maximum total of six vehicles, including boat trailers. RV's are prohibited by local ordinance. Up to two boats can be moored at our private dock. Please don't drive across our grass; public boat ramp is at Sun Life Marina, where you turn onto our dirt road.
Pets: The owner approves pets individually; guests are asked for details on breed, age and weight. Our limit is usually two. Local Putnam County Ordinances require dogs to be leashed or otherwise contained at all times.
Baby on board? We have a "Pack N Play On the Go" for guest use. Let us know you need it.
OUR APPROACH
At Lakeside Family Retreat, it is not our goal to provide pristine, designer-decorated rooms. We're aiming for a livable, family atmosphere, sort of a 'funky, cozy' vibe, where you can relax and enjoy the spectacular view and the many joys the lake has to offer. The Retreat is perfect for a multi-generational family vacation or holiday celebration; a small birthday or retirement acknowledgement; bible study group, "just-the-girl’s" getaway; fishing retreat or golf buddies get-together, etc. The hot tub, fireplace and fire-pit also make it popular for a romantic weekend to celebrate an anniversary or other 'couples' milestone. Guests of all descriptions and their well-behaved pets are most welcome! (Service animals are exempt from the pet fee; just let us know if one is coming.) We would love to host you!
***Specials and Discounts
Last minute (within two weeks of stay) and other discounts are possible; check dates and the system will make adjustments where possible or ask. The automated system will not take a reservation for the same day so use the 'contact host' button if today is when you want to come.
