The Shack at Sugar Creek

Charming House on Desirable Lake Oconee. This home sits at the end of a private cove just off deep water 1/2 mile from the Sugar Creek public boat ramp and Marina. Home has small wharf dock perfect for pontoons, small boats, kayaks and paddle boards. Canoe, double kayak and single kayak available for guest use. This home was completely remodeled in 2018. It has 4 bedrooms and 3 1/2 baths and almost 1900 sq ft. Home has a large, screened porch with a tin roof facing the lake sitting on a 1.2 acre quiet tree filled lot. “The Shack at Sugar Creek” is the perfect getaway from the hustle and bustle of the every day grind.

Perfect location on lake!

Perfect property for quick get away. Boat ramp (literally) 2 blocks away! Shallow water but perfect for pontoons and jet skis. The walk to the dock is effortless; not a steep leg burn :)
Very protected inlet to lake

Needs TLC

Disappointed in condition of property. Property needs serious cleaning outside. The Inside is surface clean and nicely decorated. However, needs major TLC . Foundation cracks in walls. Stained bath/ kitchen towels, spiders in bathroom, urine stained toilet seats. Submitted concerns to host and he did respond to broken door lock. He did provided us with hidden key to another door. Yet to hear from host concerning other issues.

Sugar Shack delivers!

All of the amenities and the cooking essentials to include a multitude of spices and other items that are not normally found. The lake was pristine and the dock was perfect for using a rented pontoon boat. We loved our time on the porch as well as meals at the beautiful dining room table. This is a wonderful place at a wonderful location.

Perfect Retreat

We really enjoyed our stay. We kept commenting on how at home we felt and the house was well stocked for all our cooking and relaxing needs. We loved that we each had our own rooms and bathrooms. The screen porch and dock were the perfect addition and were used daily. The hosts answered any questions we had promptly. Would 100% book again for our next trip!

Amazing and Cozy Lakehouse

Friends and I were heading to the Masters and found this gem in between Atlanta and Augusta. It was in between both cities and a great location for us so we are not sitting in the car for hours. The bedrooms were spacious and had everything we needed. Bathrooms were clean and towels were fresh. Kitchen was large enough to hang out and have a few drinks as well as the family room. The screened porch was perfect for an evening sitting outside. Hosts were so great and very responsive. Everything was just easy and perfect. Will stay here again!

Wedding Weekend

We rented this property for my daughter and her bridesmaids to stay in for her wedding weekend. Wish we could have used the lake aspect of the home more but it was a busy weekend and they were there a very short time. The home was clean and beds were comfortable.
