About this property

5* Lakefront Luxury - Relax At Jack Nicklaus' Former Reynolds Lake Oconee Home

According to VRBO, The Nicklaus Cottage is currently ranked #1 out of 400 properties in the Lake Oconee area based on guest reviews. This is the only 4 bedroom, 4.5 bathroom direct lakefront home located in Great Waters, Reynolds Lake Oconee. This is also the only 4BR VRBO listing in all of Reynolds Lake Oconee that provides access to important amenities like a private neighborhood lakefront pool, tennis court, sand beach, docks and a full service marina.

Entering the property, you are left with the feeling that the cottage is built directly over the water. You will be greeted by stunning views of Lake Oconee and holes number 9 and 18 of the Great Waters golf course, designed by Jack Nicklaus and ranked #46 in Golf Digest's "Top 100 Courses You Can Play". This cottage offers the most unique experience in Reynolds Lake Oconee for both golfers and non golfers alike.

The home is situated on a private cul-de-sac, offering the ultimate in privacy. An open floor plan living area includes dining and living seating for 8. A 65" Ultra High Definition television creates the only distraction from the incredible views from every window. High speed, wireless internet access is available from both the indoor and outdoor living spaces. The new kitchen features stainless steel appliances and granite counter tops. The newly expanded lakefront screened porch features what many believe to be the most beautiful and entertaining view on the lake. Covered and screened outdoor dining for 8 was recently added with unobstructed views of the lake, creating the perfect place for a meal with family and friends. A field stone grilling patio was also recently added, adding to the outdoor, lakefront living space.

The home has 3 master bedroom suites and 1 guest suite, each with a private bath. The baths have been recently updated with Italian tile and granite. Each bedroom boasts luxury beds with a King bed in each of the master suites and 2 Twin XL beds in the Guest Suite. The suites are completed with 400 thread count sheets, 40" flat screen HD televisions, incredible lake views and white noise machines for privacy. Each bed has 2 luxury pillow options, firm and soft, to ensure the ultimate night's sleep. We also believe that our guests who expect a 5 Star experience should never have to worry about the sanitation of their linens. With this in mind, you can rest easy with the knowledge that ALL bedding is laundered after each and every guest checkout, including our high thread count duvet covers. A private screened porch was added to one of the main floor master suites providing a private lakefront retreat.

Echo Dots were added to each bedroom and provide access to a limitless music catalog and other features. An Echo was added to the living room providing the same features.

The Nicklaus Cottage is situated in Waterside Village which offers residents and guests access to a private pool (open seasonally), sand beach and tennis court. This is important as unaccompanied guests are not allowed to use Reynolds Lake Oconee member only amenities. There is also a full service marina and a number of private docks reserved for owners and guests only. You will also be steps away from the Great Waters club house with both fine and casual dining available at the Overlook restaurant and the Waterview Pub. (Access to restaurants and other amenities may be limited or prohibited due to ongoing Covid 19 restrictions.)

Minutes away from restaurants, shops and the Ritz Carlton, you can get as far away from it all as you like, or stay at the center of all the activities that Lake Oconee has to offer.

The home has just completed a 6 figure renovation. The home was newly and professionally decorated in transitional, monochromatic tones ensuring that the the lake views remain the star of the show.

The Nicklaus Cottage is intended to provide each of our guests with a 5 Star experience each and every time. We look forward to welcoming you to an incredible experience on Lake Oconee.

Please watch the 5 minute video overview of the Nicklaus Cottage to get a first hand view of this exceptional property.

Because the Nicklaus Cottage is part of a cottage community, the maximum number of individuals at the property at any given time is limited to 8 and the maximum number of automobiles parked at or near the property is limited to 4. The Nicklaus Cottage may not be used for parties or events.

Amazing Lake House with the Best View

Everything about this property was fantastic, from the contact with the property manager to the views of the lake to the coziness of the cottage. We absolutely fell in love. The cottage was so well appointed that it made our stay such a breeze. It was just like coming home.

Excellent Trip

It is a beautiful property with very responsive/communicative owners. So many small touches made our stay lovely. The back screen porch and a large table for dining outside were family favorites, along with the very comfortable beds, sumptuous linens, and even mini shampoo bottles that came in so handy. Thank you Kevin!

Great Lake Trip!

Found this house on your site and never been to Lake Oconee before. The house is quite amazing and the host thought of everything. Right across the lake from the club house. We will certainly visit again and highly recommend the property. The host kept in contact with us to make sure everything was going good. There is not one complaint we have only high remarks and recommendations!! The house is in a gated community and we felt so safe.

Amazing stay

This property is one of the nicest homes we have rented. The three master bedrooms and large 4th bedroom with its own bathroom was a perfect set up for our family. Views were amazing of the lake and golf course. The dock, swimming pool, beach and tennis courts were great for our active family. The home was beautifully furnished and the owners were a pleasure to work with. We hope to stay again soon!

3 awesome master suites with additional twin bedroom So well appointed too!

This rental was perfect for our party of six (3 couples). So easy as we all had private suites. The bedding is luxurious the kitchen is full of William Sonoma and ever single thing we needed was there. Location is perfect, furnishings are spot on and comfortable. Huge screened in porch with dining table too. We love it and can’t recommend highly enough. Hopefully, we will return to this area and if we do, I’d rebook this place 100%. Really, every facet of this VRBO experience was top notch!A+ for sure.

Great Memorial Day weekend with grandkids

We (two sets of grandparents, parents and children ages 5 and 7) had a fabulous long weekend at this beautiful place. The house was exactly as advertised. The space was perfect with plenty of room to hang out together or enjoy some privacy. It is without a doubt the most well furnished rental any of us had ever stayed. We cooked every meal and the kitchen had everything. The lake views from the porch were beautiful both in sun and rain. The host, Kevin, could not have been more helpful, including sound advice re a boating expedition. We all loved the place and would highly recommend it!

Amazing!

We normally stay at Lake Oconee for our annual family trip, but the house by far exceeded our expectations for this year! With our growing family, we had plenty of room for everyone and the boys loved playing in the grass overlooking the water! The owners were amazing and always quick to respond to text. Thank you again to Jan and Kevin! We will definitely be staying again!

My family had the pleasure of staying in this home for a week in June. Upon arrival, we walked in to a breathtaking home which has been beautifully redone.
