Important Notes:
#1. This property has several friendly neighbor dogs 🐶 🐶 who will probably come visit during the day. We supply the treats, you supply the head scratches and belly rubs!
#2. Our “owner’s guesthouse” is across the driveway from the main house. It is very rare we need to come up during the same time our VRBO guests are in town (mainly just to mow the grass if we have back-to-back VRBO guests), but we will always ask our guest beforehand if it is ok before doing so.

Nearby hiking at Little River Canyon and Berry College’s Mountain Campus. Multiple golf courses within a 30-minute drive.

>>>> HOUSE RULES:

A few simple house rules...

- To respect our awesome neighbors, please refrain from outdoor loud noise/music from 10pm to 8am.

- We do not allow pets. Our neighbor’s pups have full run of the area (country lake living out here!) so we have made this a no-pet property.

- No smoking inside the house. Outdoor smoking/vaping is fine.

- We don’t allow parties. Only guests on the reservation are allowed on property (unless previously approved by the owners).

- Minimum age to book is 25, and booking individual must be staying on property with group the entire time.

- No Diving (water can be shallow in spots) Swimming and use of sports equipment should be done at your own risk. Just like any body of water, there are dangers associated with those activities. Children should be under adult supervision at all times, especially around the water. Keep those babies safe!

- Being around a lake, you may see wildlife during your visit. Chipmunks, squirrels, deer, birds of all sizes, fish, frogs, lizards, and sometimes even a snake or a beaver. We have a king snake (one of the good guys!) who we see a few times a year. But we have never seen a poisonous snake the entire time we have owned this property. 🤞🤞

Please contact us with any questions and we would be glad to help!

Perfect lake getaway

This was the best stocked vacation rental we’ve ever stayed at. Literally had everything from fishing tackle to an air fryer. Even had stuff for smores. The welcome basket with water and snacks was a nice touch. Perfect property for our family of 5 adults to enjoy. Plenty of room to spread out. Great fishing from both docks and the bank. Would definitely stay here again! Great communication from the host!

Perfect for family vacation

Everything about this house and location was perfect for our family for the week. The house was clean on arrival, kitchen was well stocked with anything you might need, lots of games for the kids, plenty of fishing supplies, and anything you might have forgotten chances are it was in the house available to use! The location is great, very peaceful and beautiful scenery while enjoying the hot tub or fire pit. We enjoyed various activities in the area such as Little River Canyon National Preserve, Orbix hot glass, and downtown Rome, GA, although I think the kids liked the sweet neighborhood dogs the best. Ashley was timely and helpful in her responses to any questions we had. If we go back to the area again we’d for sure stay at the cordial catfish again!

Perfect Getaway!

Do not think twice about staying here! This was the best vacation we have been on in a while. The property has everything you could need or want on your stay. We were greeted by the sweetest dogs who loved fishing with us! Everything was spotless! There’s plenty of firewood waiting for you and they even left a snores kit. We also enjoyed the hot tub after fishing all day. The owners have thought of everything and went above and beyond in my opinion! They stay in communication if you need anything. We will be back in the summer to enjoy the lake even more and with our friends and kids this time! What are you waiting for? Book it now!

Exceptional Getaway on the Lake

The lake house was exceptional. Ashley was extremely kind and responsive leading up to and during our visit. The house was stocked with everything you might need for an enjoyable stay - they literally thought of everything you and your family (young or older) might need. Very family friendly while also romantic and relaxing. The beds were very comfortable; the house was warm and cozy; and the lake views were relaxing. Light fixtures and other items were labeled to help you quickly find your way around the house. We really enjoyed our visit and would like to visit again during the summer or fall. We had such an enjoyable time we are looking into booking dates for Ashley’s other properties as well. We highly recommend the lake house!

Fall Break Getaway

This was a beautiful house and a wonderful location right on the lake, plenty of room to accommodate a family of five. The house had everything you could ask for, fully furnished with everything you could possibly need in the kitchen. The big screen downstairs was the perfect way to watch college football on Saturday. The kayaks were a huge hit with the kids. The dock was nice and we spent a lot of our time fishing, swimming and kayaking. The host communication was awesome and we will definitely plan to visit again.

Beautiful property! Ashley and Brad are the best!

This is a beautiful property. It was private and peaceful with lots of space and 2 separate docks for fishing on the lake. Ashley and Brad have really thought of everything! There are games and activities for the whole family - equipment for kayaking, fishing, roasting marshmallows or just generally enjoying some outdoor time. Ashley responded quickly to any questions and helped provide suggestions for nearby sights and hiking trails. We couldn’t have been happier with our stay!

Weiss lake

Clean nice relaxing getaway for 2 couples Plenty of room to spread-out in and outside the lake cabin. Usually go to a Minnesota lake cabin each year but thought we’d try something different this time. Tennis and pickleball courts at Berry College in Rome were nice but 35 minutes away. Barbecue grill and hot tub were nice to have. Nicely furnished kitchen for all our cooking needs. Roadside honor system candy and snack stand by a residence on the road near the cabin was an interesting experience we had never seen before A/C unit very loud for downstairs king bedroom couple trying to sleep. We ended up not using the a/c at night and opened the windows Hot water in downstairs bath was slightly cooler than upstairs bath. Screen door on back porch needs to fit better so wasps don’t enter under the bottom gap in the door

Incredible Stay

Let me start by saying this is the best VRBO property we've ever stayed in. Ashley and Brad literally thought of everything you could possibly need, especially in the kitchen. The XBOX was a huge hit with our son. The kayaks were a hit with all of us, as was the hot tub. The games provided inside and outside were awesome and lots of fun as well. The fishing poles and tackle are a nice bonus, especially for inexperienced people like me. While we didn't have any luck, it was still fun trying. The home itself, is in an absolutely beautiful and quiet area. We only saw 1 boat and 2 jet skiers pass by all weekend. If a peaceful relaxing trip is what you're looking for, this is it. Ashley was great to communicate with as well. She provided all the information we needed ahead of time and communicated throughout our stay. You can tell that she wants everyone to have the best stay possible. Overall, we had a fantastic time and will definitely stay here again, only longer next time.

This was one of my favorite rentals so far! Extremely well stocked and decorated. We had a blast kayaking, fishing, and swimming. Ashley was very easy to get in touch with and was very responsive and prompt. We hope to return again in the future. A good tip – you are going to be at least 15 to 20 minutes from any sort of store so make sure you have everything before you get out there!

OUTSTANDING!!

We have stayed at Weiss Lake several times. Ashley and Brad’s place is by far the best rental we have ever booked. They have thought of every amenity, and their communication is excellent! Their place is clean, comfortable (beds as well as other furniture), well stocked, and beautifully decorated with some of the best views on the lake. It is just secluded enough without being too far from civilization. We stayed for an entire week at the height of summer and saw very little lake traffic. It was peaceful and restful…just what we all needed. We can’t wait to return!

Great Find!! Great Fishing!

This lake house is so well appointed and the pictures do not do it justice. There are so many extra touches like all the sporting equipment, the games, the seasonings and pantry extras, the welcome snacks. We didn't use the hot tub but it has a great view and is well-situated. The beds were all super comfy for the six of us (three adult couples) and the host was an excellent communicator who was so gracious and accommodating. Look no further. This is IT!!! Oh and did I mention that we caught over 50 crappie right off the boat dock.
