Beautiful Property!

The house and grounds are beautiful. Our family had a terrific time! The house is completely newly renovated and the yard/dock area are immaculate. We had asked for an early check-in, but didn't get the door code until 2 hours after the agreed upon time. Kitchen could use more/nicer equipment (everything was plastic and only 1 of most cooking utensils, hard to cook a full meal that way in my opinion). We only had 1 garbage bag for the weekend. Had to use grocery bags once that was full. Overall a wonderful weekend, just some fine tuning that could have made it perfect.

Beautiful house, yard, sidewalk to dock!

I looked for a house with: 3 BR, 2 Baths, master with TV, on lake, covered dock or partly covered, easy slope to dock. This property fit my list. I was overjoyed to find that my drive was pavement all the way.

Time for Thanksgiving

The Gathering Place is an immaculate vacation style home - even the yard. We like to cook, not grocery shop, while on vacation, so we appreciated the large pantry and other large closets. The amenities gave all ages of our family fun things to do.

A Fun Fall Break

Very clean, well-maintained, nicely-decorated rental home. This was our second stay at this rental & we would definitely like to stay again in the future. The weather was warm for October, so we were able to enjoy our pontoon boat…boat ramp is only 2 doors down which is very convenient. Beds are comfortable. Well-equipped kitchen has everything you need. Our family also enjoyed spending time around the fire pit making s’mores. The dock is also very nice & is located on a quiet cove. Friendly, helpful owners that respond very quickly to any questions that you might have. Very enjoyable, relaxing stay! :-)

Relaxing Lake Time

My family & I had a great time at this property. Easy drive from Atlanta, great location on the lake. The place is nicely decorated & has great outdoor space: front porch with 2 rocking chairs and back porch view of the lake with plenty of sitting area. Peaceful, relaxing and great views of the lake. And an added plus to staying here is the 2 kayaks and paddleboards, which was a lot of fun. We also enjoyed playing corn hole. The owners responded quickly to questions we had. We hope to visit again soon.

A fun way to bring in the New Year 2022!

Had a wonderful trip to their beautiful, newly remodeled lake home. Home, yard, & dock had all of the amenities that our family needed for a great trip! Having a boat ramp a few doors down is an added plus for anyone bringing a boat to the lake! Looking forward to staying again in the future! :-)

This was by far the best house we have ever stayed in on Lake Sinclair! Perfect spot on the lake and the boat ramp was 3 driveways down. The house was so clean and exactly as the owners described. The kitchen was stocked with all we needed and the beds were very compfortable. We did the lake all day and had a blast on the paddleboards and the big mat! So easy to find and has great parking! We just loved our long weekend and we will 100% stay here again!
