Another fun memory making stay at this lake cabin. The amenities were amazing and the weather was great! We drove a short distance to Toccoa and participated in the fall festival. The grandkids loved the kayaks, fishing, and the fire pit (s’mores). They already want to come back! There were two adults and three teenagers and we had PLENTY of room to spread out. The hosts were great and we hope to stay here again.
