Lake Athens stay.
We enjoyed our stay at the lake house. We have been there several times before w our dogs. The house was updated and everything worked great throughout the property. We enjoy taking our boat fishing and enjoying the Athens area.

A Slice of Lake Heaven
Wonderful lake property for those who want a quiet getaway to fish, kayak or just relax. Athens is a short drive for groceries, gas, restaurants. We noticed how the property is very dog-friendly and will tell our friends who have dogs that they should definitely go and take their fur-babies along as there is a nice, large grassy fenced-in area for dogs to roam as well as a cemented patio at the front entrance which is gated, fenced, and protected from the western sun. Very comfortable couches, great wi-fi, and large kitchen space for cooking/eating. We hope to visit again!

Ideal Fishing Lodge
This was the perfect house for me. Couldn't ask for a better setup to park a boat. Great access for fishing. Convenient ride to the marina. House was really maintained well. Good charcoal grill. Kitchen was very well equipped. Plenty of parking. Quiet neighborhood. Really optimal location on the lake. Nothing but good things to say about this one. We'll be back!
