Guests describe the cottage as very clean, well stocked, and cozy, blending older-farmhouse charm with comfortable beds. A small number of comments mention minor kitchen wear or yard tidiness, and one guest expected to be closer to the water. Expect a restful country base for outdoor fun and easy day trips.

Brought our dogs and we all had a relaxing weekend at this great cottage. We were able to walk around the lake with the dogs and enjoyed the cows in the back of the house. I recommend this cottage for a lowkey weekend getaway.

Great house, super clean, well stocked. The check-in process was a breeze. Host was very responsive. Nice fenced yard for our fur babies. Wish we would have had time to fish in the lake. Highly recommend.

Cool little farm house with cows and chickens nearby. My daughter caught her first fish at the lake and we all enjoyed swimming and kayaking. The cows were hilarious. Very curious and cute! The fenced in yard was a huge help with our dogs too. We are coming back in the fall!

We loved our stay at Palm Lake. The location was close to town and shopping. The house was great and fit our needs. My son enjoyed hanging by the lake fishing and paddle boarding with my husband. We enjoyed walking the property with our 14 year old spaniel. I will definitely book this cottage again!

Palm Lake Cottage was just what we needed for a peaceful relaxing weekend away. The cottage was well stocked with the essentials and lots of little extras, too. The beds were comfy and we slept very well. Very quiet and dark, great for stargazing. The men enjoyed the fishing at the private lake in the property most of all. The fish were hitting the hook practically before the bobber touched the water. We didn't swim or kayak, but there were paddle boards, kayaks, and a floating dock if that's your thing. A really restful country setting, but not a far drive from lots of attractions. Heading about 1/2 an hour in different directions will take you to Helen, GA, Rabun GA, Clayton GA, Taccoa Falls or Tallulah Falls, all of which are worth a visit. In Clarkesville, the Miles Through Time car museum and thrift/ antique store are well worth an afternoon of your time. Cliff was a wonderful host. He gave us some yummy breakfast and lunch spot suggestions, was always available if we needed anything, but was never intrusive on our time or space. And Sophie the Golden was a beautiful delight. The cottage is very, very dog friendly. We didn't bring ours, but there is a fenced yard, a large outdoor kennel, food and water bowls inside, treats, and a dog bed all available if your fury family members travel with you. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and highly recommend Palm Lake Cottage if you're looking for a peaceful, relaxing stay.

We picked Palmlake Cottage because it was very close to our son and it was pet friendly, also access to a lake. Well it definitely surpassed our expectations, everything you would ever need was provided and the cottage itself was meticulously clean. Cliff was always available if you needed him for anything. The lake was a short walk from the cottage and our son caught the biggest large mouth bass he has ever caught! We had a wonderful trip and will definitely visit again. Thank you Janice, Bryan & Shadow.

Overall, our visit was peaceful and relaxing. The cottage is roomy and has everything you could need. I didn't read the listing very well because I thought we would be closer to the lake. The only downside was the fenced yard because its not maintained and or kept tidy. There are lots of mushrooms growing and has an old dirty doghouse. Looks abandoned. s

This property was casual and relaxing. We were in town for a wedding. It was close to the wedding, and the adorable downtown was convenient. There's a great coffee shop not far. It is an older home with updated flooring and furniture. It is comfortable and feels like when you visit grandparents in the country. We felt safe and enjoyed the walk to the lake. The kitchen was well stocked and we also enjoyed building a fire in the fire pit.

However I can say our host Cliff was the nicest guy in NE GA. He gave us suggestions on fun things to do. And when our battery wouldn't turn over, he got us on our way home. So grateful.

My sister and I had a wonderful stay in this quaint older cottage on a lovely mountain farm. The home has been well maintained while keeping it's comfortable, casual air. It was especially nice to be able to have our two large dogs with us, and the facilities to keep them safe and comfortable all available, even down to a large size dog bed. It was a very private setting though the hosts' home was just over the pasture. Nice front sitting porch added to the charm. There is a lot of traffic on the road out front though you won't hear anything but the birds as you walk through the woods to the spring fed pond. We had a bit of a misunderstanding over a chair that we got a spot on but it eventually got resolved. All in Ally, the area has a lot to offer and this was a good home base from which to operate.

This property was casual and relaxing. We were in town for a wedding. It was close to the wedding, and the adorable downtown was convenient. There's a great coffee shop not far. It is an older home with updated flooring and furniture. It is comfortable and feels like when you visit grandparents in the country. We felt safe and enjoyed the walk to the lake. The kitchen was well stocked and we also enjoyed building a fire in the fire pit.

Perfect location for some paddling on a lake, short drives to many hikes, and great towns. Our family enjoyed the clean and perfect sized cabin!

This place was perfect for our family while we stayed in town for a college graduation. The house had everything we needed. The lake was most relaxing. Great location and centrally located to do fun things in the area.

Stayed here with my wife, 13 year old daughter and her friend. Everything was exactly as described in the listing. We spent a lot of time on the small private lake on the property kayaking and paddle boarding. Lake was cold but tolerable for swimming. Probably ideal by May. Location is great! 10 minutes to downtown Clarkesville which is a cute little town with some nice restaurants. And 20-25 minutes to Helen, Taccoa Falls, Tallulah Gorge and my personal favorite, Minnehaha Falls, a really nice waterfall with a short walk in at a very secluded and quiet spot. All in all we had a great time at this property and my daughter is already asking if we can go back!

Palm Lake Cottage was just what we needed for a peaceful relaxing weekend away. The cottage was well stocked with the essentials and lots of little extras, too. The beds were comfy and we slept very well. Very quiet and dark, great for stargazing. The men enjoyed the fishing at the private lake in the property most of all. The fish were hitting the hook practically before the bobber touched the water. We didn't swim or kayak, but there were paddle boards, kayaks, and a floating dock if that's your thing. A really restful country setting, but not a far drive from lots of attractions. Heading about 1/2 an hour in different directions will take you to Helen, GA, Rabun GA, Clayton GA, Taccoa Falls or Tallulah Falls, all of which are worth a visit. In Clarkesville, the Miles Through Time car museum and thrift/ antique store are well worth an afternoon of your time. Cliff was a wonderful host. He gave us some yummy breakfast and lunch spot suggestions, was always available if we needed anything, but was never intrusive on our time or space. And Sophie the Golden was a beautiful delight. The cottage is very, very dog friendly. We didn't bring ours, but there is a fenced yard, a large outdoor kennel, food and water bowls inside, treats, and a dog bed all available if your fury family members travel with you. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and highly recommend Palm Lake Cottage if you're looking for a peaceful, relaxing stay.

We spent a lot of time on the small private lake on the property kayaking and paddle boarding. Lake was cold but tolerable for swimming. Probably ideal by May. Location is great! 10 minutes to downtown Clarkesville which is a cute little town with some nice restaurants. And 20-25 minutes to Helen, Taccoa Falls, Tallulah Gorge and my personal favorite, Minnehaha Falls, a really nice waterfall with a short walk in at a very secluded and quiet spot.

Had everything we needed and central to the places we wanted to go. Cliff was very kind and helped us quickly with one item. Told us about the local area and places to see. The house was cozy and the property & lake were beautiful.

Kitchen shows wear and some appliances need good cleaning such as refrigerator and air fryer. A microwave would be helpful
