About this property

Big Water Sunset Views with Dock & Lawn!

This private 3-bedroom cottage overlooks Jackson Lake in Monticello, Georgia, home of Berry's Fishing Tournaments and the Deer Capital of Georgia. Like most vacations at the lake most of your time will be spent outdoors alongside the water's edge.

The home has one large bedroom suitable for mom and dad featuring a queen size bed and an en suite bath. There is a room with two twin beds for the kids and one bedroom with a queen perfect for grandma and grandpa or an older sibling needing their own space. All rooms have blackout shades. The home can sleep up to 6 people comfortably.

The kitchen has enough room to fix the perfect southern meal! It has a fridge, stove/oven, microwave, toaster, small coffee maker and dishwasher. But for cooking meals, folks around here usually use the propane grill located outside on the deck. We have an array of glassware, plates, utensils, etc. that you are welcome to use. If you need something specific (Ex. rice maker, crock pot) I would plan on bringing it with you.

The photos are about 95% accurate as things are sometimes moved around, redecorated, etc. but they are indicative of the overall look-and-feel. Sometimes we need to replace duvet covers/linens and other home good items to keep the place looking the best we can. This is a well loved cottage that we hope your family will love too!

What should you bring? A few beach towels, floats, some sunscreen, bug spray, and sandals. If you have a favorite blanket or pillow bring those too. As for food, we recommend that you stop on your way and pack a cooler with food - you can reuse the cooler lakeside! There's plenty of beer available at Larry's Four-way which is nearby, but if you want something specific you might want to snag it before leaving the interstate. Most enjoy grilling out and eating at some of the local country eateries around town. While we get you started with paper towels, toilet tissue and trash bags however we do not supply an unlimited quantity, so if you feel like you use a lot please be sure to grab a few more at the store before you arrive.

Please keep in mind that we are a small rental on vrbo, so if you need the amenities of a hotel this might not be a good fit for you. We are offering a charming quaint country experience on Jackson Lake!

Our occupancy is maximum of 6 guests at one time on the property. No parties or events.

My Listing & Pictures are current as of 4/21/2024.

If you are looking at our home for use in TV Production, Small Print Advertising, Music Videos or other Filming please don't hesitate to reach out. A COI is required and we will have an owner representative onsite during the shoot.

We truly enjoyed our stay. The property was just as described in the VRBO listing. The house was very clean, comfortable, and inviting. We spent quite a bit of time sitting on the back deck and enjoyed the view of the lake. We loved it. If we come back that way, we would definitely stay here again.

We had a great visit. The house is very clean and decorated very fresh and comfortable. The long weekend was spent on the dock, on the lake and in the amazing g yard playing bags, spike ball and football. We brought our own kayaks, and paddle boards and had great actress from the private beach and ramp on property. The owners communicated quickly always. We will be back!

Great Lake house!

Loved being so close to the water and having the boat dock! Perfect for our family for a long weekend. Owner very responsive when the door code did not work. Very appreciative of the good stock of detergent, toilet paper, paper towels, etc. Thank you for leaving ant spray, because they had taken over the yard. A couple FYIs for future visitors- house is very close to the bridge with lots of traffic noise and the water was down to where we could not leave the boat at the dock bc it was hitting the side (protectors are horizontal only). Enjoyed our time here!

Great close getaway!

We had a great time at the house. It rained three days, but I grabbed some games for the kids at the Dollar General a mile away. The pictures on the posting made it appear it’s deep water dock. It’s waist deep for an adult. It’s a sandy/muddy bottom so I suggest water shoes. Our teenager had some ting leeches one day after stepping in the mud. I recommend some floats. Our three kids each had one and loved being tied to the dock and playing on them. We also placed a tailgating tent on the dock to make some shade. Glad we thought to bring it. Thanks for a great Getaway during COVID.

"The best vacation ever!" (as said by one of my 15 year old twins!)

Where do I start? We had a very late arrival on Friday May 24th. Property was exactly as stated, but the pictures don't reflect the coziness or relaxed feel of this cottage. It is literally right on the lake, maybe 15 yards from the shoreline. An outfitter delivered 2 kayaks for us on Saturday morning & we spent the next blissful 4 days in bathing suits from sun up to sun down. Our twins are 15 & they swam, fished, kayaked, floated, repeated...all day long. They are both excellent swimmers (certified lifeguards) & excell at outdoor activities, however, the rule for our family was anytime they were in the water, near the water or on the dock, they had to be wearing a lifejacket. We brought all 4 of ours, & they were well used for our entire stay. Since this is a lake (& not a pool), it is a natural area. so I suggest old sneakers for lake swimming or such-we had river sandals, crocs, water shoes & my husband brought old sneakers. Rocks on the bottom & some debris (such as sticks) so that made swimming easy & fun. We also had noodles & ring floats. We grilled out every day. The ease of moving about the property made it delightful-we put outdoor items on the deck-strapped wet lifejackets to the railing for drying, towels over the railing as well. I sat on the deck every day with my coffee & breakfast. Twins came & went. There are 3 tvs, but we mostly used the one in the family room. One of the bedroom tvs got used a little bit, but we were outside-including napping! :) Shade on the dock was perfect for morning fishing, shade on the deck was perfect for afternoon napping. :) We had tablets & technology with us, but aside from some summer homework, the twins didn't use any. TV was only on in the evenings some & that was after it was too dark to swim or fish or kayak. It is a noisy spot on the lake-the gas station is directly across the lake, but it is also one of the most interesting! The bridge is right there, so there is some road noise from the traffic, but it came & went & we were honestly so busy enjoying the outside that we didn't really notice it. Being a holiday weekend, the boat channel was like the interstate on Sunday, but the people & boat watching was entertaining. It is a No Wake Zone right in front of the cottage as well, so the boats were going slow & the waves were lots of fun on floats. Interestingly enough, Sunday was busier on the water than Monday & on Tuesday, we might as well have been the only people on the lake1 :)

Great vacation

I started looking at beach rentals and quickly realized this was not feasible with inflation. So I started looking at other options. We have never stayed at a lake house before but Kimberly’s place looked ideal and was a good price. Communication with Kimberly throughout the entire process was great. She responded promptly before and during our stay. She was always kind and helpful. The house was exactly as described and as the pictures show. Locating it was easy and it is in a good location to several towns in the area. With the keyless entry, check in was a breeze. The house was clean when we arrived and we were very pleased with the overall look of the home. Furniture and beds were comfortable. The kitchen had pretty much most everything we needed. She also provided a roll of paper towels and several rolls of toilet paper in each bathroom. They had plenty of towels and rags for the bathrooms. We are a family of 4 and the house was a great size. My kids decided to stay in the room with two beds together so we ended up actually having an extra bedroom. The proximity to the lake was wonderful! Just a few steps across the yard and you’re at it. I loved the shade tree in the back as well to sit under when not in the water. They provided several chairs to sit by the water with as well as the table and umbrella on the deck. The dock was nice and the water was pretty see through during our stay. It’s fairly shallow around the dock area and you could touch pretty far out and even past the end of the dock. With small children, this was good. There was a little bit of debris from people littering in the lake that had washed up on the shore (even some broken glass) so I would definitely recommend water shoes for all. Bring some floats! The sunsets were incredible from the dock and house and so beautiful. I’m thankful we had great weather. You can hear some traffic from the bridge while outside and in the master bedroom. I didn’t feel like it lessened the quality of our stay. I had a white noise machine in our bedroom so it helped with the road noise. We stayed from Tuesday to Sunday. The amount of people on the lake was pretty low key until the weekend. It was busy on the weekend but fine. The kids enjoyed the waves that the boats sent our way. Lol we rented a pontoon boat from Berry’s boat dock just right across the lake. We didn’t see neighbors around until the weekend and it was a quiet area. We will definitely go back and rent from Kimberly again!

Awesome Long Weekend

Our family of 5 had an amazing weekend!! Our 3 children ages 11-13 swam everyday, collected rocks and shells on the small beach, and floated on the water. We grilled every night and enjoyed the beautiful view from the back deck and dock. Stargazing was spectacular! We rented a pontoon boat for a day, and we had a blast cruising around the lake all day. We drove to historical downtown Monticello 15 min away and enjoyed the quaint shops and great food. The lake house was neat, clean, spacious, well equipped and comfortable. The owners were friendly and responsive. We will definitely be back.

Very Nice Stay

Stayed here for my birthday with my husband and two yr old. The view was lovely, especially at sunset. The house was decorated very tastefully, and the kitchen was well stocked with most of the supplies you’d require. Ingles Supermarket is about 15 minutes away if you need anything. Everything was exactly as pictured, except for the patio chairs, which the cushions should seriously be replaced because they were so dirty. Glad we brought our camping chairs. The house was otherwise clean and had a nice layout. The proximity to the lake was fantastic; so peaceful sitting on the deck watching boaters and the water. We fed the ducks grapes and oats and enjoyed watching the ducklings. I was excited to go swimming having seen a review pic of people jumping in, but the water was a little too dirty. There’s a lot of boat traffic and all the gunk gets pushed to the shore. I would have loved a kayak or paddle boat to enjoy the lake more. We rented a pontoon from a nearby place for a few hours, which was terrific; the lake goes on for miles. Otherwise we sat on the very hot deck under the small umbrella for shade. It is August after all! There was a box fan in one of the rooms which we greatly appreciated. Maybe upgrade to a sun setter retractable awning? Not too much to do around Monticello; the Indian Springs park was a letdown, but the Fire and Ice restaurant had good food and a nice vibe. If you own a boat this is a great home base with the boat ramp. However maybe put a safety chain across the boat ramp? It’s very slippery; my son got too close to the water and fell in, and I fell in trying to help him, which was a mess. All in all I would stay here again, avoid the ramp, and bring a beach tent to sit out on the dock. There is a bridge close by which was noisy with traffic, but it didn’t really bother us. Thanks for a very nice stay!

Great Week

Couldn't ask for much more. Owner was awesome. From booking to checking in. House was clean and easy to get to. From morning coffee on the dock to watching the sunset in the evenings. Fishing was good, atmosphere was perfect. Only advice for future renters, if you don't like all the boat traffic, avoid Saturdays. Other than Saturday afternoon, it felt like we had the lake to ourselves for most of the day. We will definitely be back. Only regret was having to pack up and head home. Thank you for a great vacation.

About the host

Hosted by Kimberly Corentin

Host profile image
This home has been in our family for over 70 years. Currently owned by my grandmother and previously owned by her father who built it himself, our lake home has a lot of meaning to us. The boat ramp was poured on my grandmother's 16th birthday and just recently repaired to like new condition! We are excited to share our vacation home with you and your family! We have built wonderful memories here and we hope your family can take a break from everyday life and make some great memories too!

What makes this property unique

House was completely renovated in 2014 including modern kitchen with granite counter tops, hardwood floors throughout house, slate tile in bathrooms, a new 16x20 dock, expansive deck, paved boat ramp and much more. The house has vaulted ceilings, breath taking views from living room and master bedroom suite and a great floor plan for entertaining.

Our guests are renting the entire property. We hope you will immerse yourselves in the experience of "lake life"! Bring your bathing suit, canoe, kayak, rod and reel and take advantage of all the lake has to offer while you are here.
