Upscale Lake House: Private Dock, Fire Pit, Chef’s Kitchen, & Game Room

Hidden Cove Retreat is a custom-built Lake Wedowee waterfront home on 1.5+ private acres in a quiet cove. Enjoy elevated lake views, a private dock with boat (note there are vessel size limitations) and PWC tie-off access when seasonally available, a 600-sq-ft deck, firepit, game room, chef’s kitchen, high-speed Wi‑Fi, and family-friendly touches. Ideal for couples, families, and small groups seeking lake access and room to reconnect.

Set on over 1.5 peaceful acres, this custom-built lakefront home combines open gathering spaces with a private main-level suite and a terrace-level hangout area. Large windows frame elevated views across the quiet cove toward the main channel, while red oak floors, 10-foot ceilings, and Aspen wood doors add warmth throughout.

The main level includes an open living area and chef’s kitchen, plus a primary suite with a king bed, double sinks, walk-in closet, spa-style walk-in shower, and Japanese soaking tub. The terrace level has a separate den and recreation room, two guest bedrooms, a shared full bath, and doors to the patio and outdoor entertaining area.

Sleeping arrangements:
• Main-level primary bedroom: king bed
• Terrace-level guest bedroom 1: two queen beds
• Terrace-level guest bedroom 2: queen bed
• Main-level pull-out sofa: full bed
• Terrace-level pull-out sofa: full bed

The kitchen is designed for cooking and gathering, with a stainless-steel double wall oven, four-burner electric cooktop, dishwasher, walk-in pantry space, refrigerator, freezer, microwave, blender, toaster, drip coffee maker, French press, ReadyHOT dispenser, filtered-water dispenser, and cooking, baking, grilling, and dining essentials. The dining table seats eight, with three additional island seats and outdoor dining for six.

Enjoy indoor and outdoor downtime with:
• A 600-sq-ft uncovered composite deck, gas Blackstone griddle with propane provided, and outdoor dining
• Firepit seating with string lights; please bring your own firewood
• Game area with pool table, ping-pong conversion top, dartboard, board games, and karaoke system with microphones
• Five Smart TVs, Starlink high-speed Wi‑Fi, central air conditioning and heating, ceiling fans, and all-in-one washer/dryer combo
• A dedicated height-adjustable desk workstation in the primary bedroom
• Family-friendly amenities including children’s books (toys for ages 2–5 available upon request), children’s dinnerware, and a high chair (available upon request)

Built with Cementitious Insulated Composite Form blocks, the home combines structural strength, insulation, fire resistance, and an environmentally sustainable building system.

Guests have full access to the entire home, decks, patio, firepit area, private backyard, and private lakeside cove area. The private 8-by-10-foot dock/boat slip is available seasonally; please inquire with the owners about vessel-size limitations and water level. The dock is not always in the water.

The larger dock shown in some photos belongs to the neighbors and is not available for guest use.

A locked terrace-level utility closet and the locked attic above the main floor are reserved for owner storage.

Self check-in is available by keypad. Free driveway parking is available for registered guests only.

Guests may safely tie up to the boat dock overnight at the private dock. Please contact the owners with questions about dock availability, water level, or vessel-size limitations.

While there is a small access point for vehicles to reach the lake, guests should not drive beyond the fence marked with the stop sign. The shoreline area at the cove is not intended for regular vehicle use. Driving on it can damage the grading and may result in getting stuck. Guests are responsible for any damage to the landscape and all associated recovery costs if vehicles are driven beyond the designated access point or into the shoreline area.

Any kayaks, paddle boards, etc. should be walked down and launched/recovered from the shoreline cove.

The firepit requires guest-provided firewood. Guests must bring their own watercraft equipment and safety equipment; all water activities are undertaken at their own risk.

For security, there is a smart-lock camera at the front door, an exterior AI-enabled PTZ camera monitoring the front-entry area, and a camera at the roof apex monitoring the lakeside dock. The roof camera cannot view the deck. There are no cameras inside or in private spaces.

There is a small white PVC clean‑out pipe located to the right side of the property (as facing the front of the house). It is clearly marked with an orange cone, and the owners kindly ask that guests keep vehicles clear of this area.

On rare occasions, neighboring dogs have wandered through the property. The owners do not interact with them and recommend that guests do the same.

A fire extinguisher is located underneath the kitchen sink.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay! Everything was truly AWESOME, from booking to checkout! From the moment we booked, the host communicated clearly and promptly. It made the entire process so easy and stress-free!The house was gorgeous, with beautiful views of the lake from about anywhere in the house. Super clean and comfortable. The personal touches truly made our stay special, We were greeted by a welcome message on the tv, as well as some yummy snacks waiting in the kitchen. We were impressed by all the thoughtful extra touches, including the abundance of towels, toiletries and full size toiletries in all showers, All these little details made us feel right at home.The kitchen was fully stocked with the tools we needed to prepare our meals and all the tools you need to cook on the blackstone as well! The outside area is gorgeous with plenty of room for us to hang out and enjoy the view from the deck or from around the firepit. It stormed one day, but it allowed us to check out the game room. It had everything we needed to make a stormy day at the lake enjoyable. There was everything from a pool table and ping pong to darts and karaoke, definitely no shortage of entertainment for us!Everything about our stay exceeded our expectations. The host went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. We would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable getaway. We would gladly stay here again!

We had an absolutely wonderful stay and it was perfect for our family. We have a daughter with special needs, and this home was so accommodating and comfortable for her. The quiet cove made for such a peaceful atmosphere, and the easy lake access was a huge plus.The house itself was immaculate, extremely clean, cozy, and felt like home from the moment we walked in. They truly thought of everything, even the little things you don’t always think to pack: shampoo, detergent, toothbrushes, toothpaste, towels, bug spray, sunscreen, and so much more. Every detail was taken care of, which made our stay stress-free and enjoyable.We couldn’t have asked for a better place for our family and would absolutely stay here again!
