Cozy Cottage - Lake Front - GA Coldwater Retreat

The perfect, private lake retreat, less than 1 mile from Richard B. Russell State Park, public beach, boat ramps, golf course and more! Only 8 miles from the charming town of Elberton, GA. Come stay, play and retreat from the every day hustle. Cozy living space, plenty of room to enjoy nature and only a short walk to the lakeshore. Great for couples, families or even a weekend away with friends!

Living space is on the 2nd story, accessed by an interior set of stairs.

Georgia Coldwater Retreat is cozy, clean and quiet. Hardwoods throughout, plantation shutters, granite countertops and new furnishings for your stay. We have a sprawling 3-car garage with a ping-pong table and will be adding more entertainment options soon!

Fishing trip.

Lovely home, very clean and cozy. Horrible stairs to home level. My knees were so sore every night. Although I admit my age is over 60. Also, could use an extra chair in the living area. All in all a nice place to stay.

Great getaway spot

We loved our stay here. It is such a comfortable cottage. We stayed here because our daughter was playing in a golf tournament at Lake Russell State Park and this could not have been more convenient. It was a wonderful home away from home!

Perfect Stay for Our Group

We had a golf tournament in the state park just a mile away. The cabins in the park were booked, but this home turned out to be a better option. My team had a blast playing ping pong, cards, arcade basketball, and fuss ball in the massive three car garage. We brought cornhole boards and we had room to do that in that dry space as well. We hope to stay here every year when we attend this event!!

Steps to the lake

Great location for lake Russell access to several boat ramps and Lake Russell state park. Nice home for a small family, or a couple, so long as stairs are not an issue for you. The owner was super fast to respond to questions before our trip which helped us plan ahead. We did find some dishes and silverware that had dried food on them most likely from the previous renter washing them in the dishwasher without rinsing them off first, but overall the house was nice, comfortable and clean especially for a lake home in the woods. We saw deer and other wildlife every day. We enjoyed our stay and will most likely rent again in the future.
