About this property

Cottage on Lake Tobesofkee-225 ft Shore-Great Views

Large open bright colorful Cottage located on Lake Tobesofkee with 225ft of lake frontage and 2900 ft of living space. Can sleep 8 comfortably. Lots of large windows on the back of Cottage provide great views of the lake from the kitchen, master bedroom and second bedroom. Located on a great part of the lake with a big water view (see the pics).

The Cottage has a large covered porch on the back (that receives lots of great guest feedback) with several gliders for lazying around watching friends and family on the dock as well as birds, fishers, skiers, tubers and jet skiers come by! Bring your boat and your folks can watch you out there as well!

Has a wonderful Master Bedroom (King size bed) and Bath. Three additional Bedrooms with Queen Beds. High end linens and towels on the beds and in the baths like in nicer hotels. Spacious designer kitchen with everything needed to cook a great meal. Big back yard and great dock for your boat as well as swimming and fishing.

A gas grill is located off of the kitchen on second porch for guest use with utensils in kitchen. Everything to make that great cup of Starbuck's coffee to start the day is provided!

High speed Cox WiFi and expanded Cable is provided as well as Netflix.

Perfect spot to relax and enjoy the lake life. Has that cozy cottage feel with the amenities you want. Located close to all historic Macon has to offer. The revitalized downtown area has great restaurants and pubs. I provide a Guide Book of my favorite restaurants from casual to fine dining as well as sites to see in Macon when you book!

Convenient location allows you to quickly take in a movie (AmStar 16), go golfing, get to a Kroger and Walmart, visit the two lake parks (https://laketobo.maconbibb.us/activities/) with sandy beaches, play areas for kids, picnic areas, or take the kids to the Sandy Beach Water Park located 1 mile from Cottage.

Excellent stay!

Really enjoyed our stay at this lakefront property. The property is beautiful as advertised! What struck us were all the little details that JD provided, such as a lovely coffee bar set up in the kitchen, a fully equipped kitchen, an abundance of towels in all bathrooms, extra blankets and pillows in each bedroom, paper products and cleaning products. Plenty of pillowed seating on the large back porch for all of us to enjoy the stunning lake view. JD responded to all our questions in a timely manner. Will definitely stay here again for our next family gathering!

Perfect Lake House

We had a wonderful time at this house. The location is quiet and very relaxing. The house was just as described - plenty of towels and kitchen equipment to eat in a few nights. This is 20 minutes to everything in Macon. The furniture was somewhat dated, but the beds were comfortable and the linens were clean and of quality standard. I would recommend staying here if you visit Macon.

Home away from Home

Best home around! This has been our second time of enjoyment at your home, and it will not be our last. I hope we can catch this place the same time every year. The atmosphere is peaceful, and it’s full of good memories. For our family, it’s a challenge to get my mom down at the water, and on any boat, with that being said, we so much appreciate the flat ground and easy access all the way around. We’ve been able to come together so easily, and truly enjoy this spacious area. We can’t wait to book again.

This is our third stay at the Lake House. It is a very clean and comfortable place for our family to gather for the holidays. The lake view is beautiful and the porch in the back is a relaxing place to hang out and reconnect with nature and each other.

Wonderful stay!!

We came to Macon to enjoy the Cherry Blossom Festival and had a wonderful time. The festival, parade and festivities were all fun and the cherry trees with their beautiful blossoms were amazing!! Our accommodations were lovely and as pictured and described. We didn't lack for anything. We enjoyed spending time on the back deck that overlooked the beautiful backyard with lake view. The owner was very quick to respond to any inquiry before our stay and was most accommodating!! Would definitely recommend and would stay again if back in the area. Many thanks for a wonderful time!
