Wonderful Family Vacation

The Keg Creek Cottage is very clean, comfortable, spacious and tastefully decorated. It exceeded my overall expectations! We brought our pontoon and our dog, so the dock and fenced in yard were perfect for us! The amenities and personal touches throughout the property definitely made us feel welcome! The location was quiet, and the boat ramp right down the road was very convenient. The owner was very responsive and frequently checked in with us to make sure we had everything we needed and we were enjoying our stay šŸ˜Š I would highly recommend this beautiful property ā¤ļø

Great!

This is a clean and well-maintained property that your family and/or friends will enjoy. Everything that you need to enjoy a week at the lake is here. The interior is well maintained and modern. You can relax at the dock, fish, rent a jet ski or boat nearby or use the fire pit, outdoor games, grills and Kayaks. The owners live next door, which is a great benefit. They are friendly and helpful if you want recommendations or need something. However, they are not intrusive and will not interfere with your visit. Pick this house, and you will have a great vacation!

A Complete Family Retreat

Our family travels together several times a year, often with grandkids and grandparents, and we always prefer VRBO homes to hotels. This house at Keg Creek is jumping up to the top of list, and every member of the family agrees. You can tell the owners are thoughtful hosts, with helpful signage and no guesswork; even an ā€œin case you forgetā€ supply basket. It was well kept, well furnished, plenty of space, and indoor/outdoor areas that were perfect for kids and adults in their own spaces. We brought along our pontoon boat, and docking it under the covered dock was so easy and convenient. We could have stayed a whole week, and even discussed a family summer trip back to this house. Thank you so much to this family for sharing their retreat with us!

Great place to relax!

We loved this property! With the two story set up it was perfect for each family to feel like they had their own space without being on top of each other. The upstairs (main floor) was perfect for the meal times and playing games at the large family table. The downstairs was perfect for the kids to play (with the included kids tows and tricycle) this was a wonderful added touch that we used on the rainy day during our stay. Also the bait and tackle store down the street hooked us up for the weekend with all the kid fishing stuff we needed for a really good price! Publix grocery store and some restaurants are a quick and easy drive down the road so you can keep your supply of stuff easily without making a day trip. We will be coming back to more trips in the future!!

Great House and stay during masters

This was a great lake house that we stayed at during the Masters Golf Tournament. The 10-15min drive back into town was not bad at all and we found pretty much everything we needed at a Publix or several restaurants in town. While it was a bit of a drive to the tournament we appreciated the quietness of the property and it allowing us to escape all the hustle of town. The inside was tastefully decorated and well kept. Everything was clean and worked as it should. We especially found the labels on all light switches very helpful to quickly figure out what does what. Overall great stay. However I am giving 4 stars due to a billing issue that went unresolved for a bit. VRBO was utterly unhelpful and frustrating as I reached out to them numerous times. Eventually VRBO contacted the host who fixed the issue.

A cottage for the win!!!

Don't let the word "cottage" make you think this place is small .... it is definitely not small! It very comfortably housed our family of 8. Our long weekend didn't go exactly as planned because of Tropical Depression Claudette, but we still had a great time on the lake for a little bit, eating some good food, playing games & spending time with family. The house was great, the location on the lake was great & the hosts were absolutely great! We were able to dock our boat on property & the boat ramp at Wildwood (right down the road) was perfect. We absolutely recommend this property & will be back soon!

Beautiful home. The set up of having 2 bedrooms and bathrooms on the main level (one with walk in shower) and one bedroom and bathroom on the lower level was perfect for my family. The host provided everything all the basics to get us started (paper towels, dishwasher detergent, body wash, shampoo, etc) Great view of the lake. Also, the view of all the stars in the sky very early in the morning was spectacular. Host was very responsive to all needs.
