Nature lovers playground Rock Island Lake Oconee

Located on the south end of Lake Oconee in a nature lovers playground. This beautiful house is tucked away in a peaceful cove just minutes away from Wallace dam. The dock has a boat lift and a fishing light kept on year-round. The property has a long gravel driveway that leads to a nice yard covered with flower gardens and HUGE ROCKS!! The finished basement has a freshly felted 8 foot pool table. Plenty of parking and room for boat and jet ski trailers. Rocking chair front porch with an amazing view of the lake. The fishing is good year around, and water is great for swimming during the warmer months.

Great Get Away

This vacation had everything our large party of 9 needed. We had more than enough space and the facilities offered everything we needed to enjoy our vacation and for cooking meals. The location was ideal as it was a short drive to convenient stores and tucked back far from neighbors. The dock was wonderful and allowed for most of our trip to be spent in the water. We’ll absolutely return!

Great house and location! Would stay again. The only thing I would recommend is get new dinning room chairs. My grandchildren loved the huge rocks in the yard and saw plenty of Deer in the front yard!

Family fun!

Good place for our group of 10. Every year we, our kids and grands take a lake vacation. Loved the clean lake, the rocks were unique and made group workouts challenging. We cook together and the kitchen was OK...however the dining room chairs need replaced...we swapped them for folding ones.

Awesome memories

We had lots of family visit us at this house, there was more than enough room for everyone. The house was spacious, clean & well stocked. The dock was awesome and accommodated our boat, water trampoline and numerous floats & other water toys....the lake was deep enough to play or just relax.... the teenagers said we needed a house like this, lol.... lost power the last night during a horrible storm but still would do it all over again.... thanks to our wonderful host and hope you will have us again.....

Needs cleaning and updating

House was not clean. Toenail clippings on carpet that had not been vacuumed, lotion on bathroom vanity, and cigarette ashes on porch. Oven had so much grease that a small fire ignited when we tried to use it. The basement is not air conditioned. Uncomfortably warm for those staying down there. This was not mentioned anywhere in the property description.

Enjoyable Weekend

Home was in a nice location. The scenery and landscape was beautiful. The house was comfortable and plenty room for 10 guests. My family enjoyed their stay. However, the inside of the house can stand an update and can use more appliances.

Property listed with more bedrooms than it has. Owners and managers would not en knowledge the mis

Five people were to stay in the house but it only had four bedrooms instead of the listed five. One guest was forced to look for a hotel room after we had arrived. It was extremely difficult to find accommodation in such of short notice.

Awesome fishing trip

We had a great stay and fishing was great. I do think there should be some sort of lighting on the steps down to the lake as I took a spill on the first night because I couldn't see the steps. The house is nice and the pool table was fun too. Hope to be back next year.

Fisherman's dream!

We booked this house for a short fishing trip and we loved it! The house is located near some great fishing spots and has a large dock to tie your boat to. After fishing in the boat during the day we would fish off the dock at night under the dock light and we caught a lot of fish! The house has plenty of room and was clean. Great place to stay!
