Unwind & re-charge at "Lake Escape," a new one-bedroom apartment only a block away from Lake Allatoona & private dock (bring your boat). Self-contained, dog-friendly, terrace-level suite with separate entrance, fully equipped kitchen, spacious living area, full bath, fire pit, hammock, patio and fenced yard. Enjoy lake life near fine dining, shopping & historic downtown Woodstock, in a secluded golf cart community a couple miles from a public beach, boat ramps & marina where you can rent a boat. This spacious one bedroom apartment offers a private bedroom with queen bed and a 46” flat-screen TV, large living area with a 50” flat-screen TV, seating for four on a plush full-size sofa sleeper and a leather chair-and-a-half recliner, and a desk and dinner table for four. Prepare a meal in the fully equipped kitchen, grill out on the patio, or drive to nearby restaurants. Guests have full access to the separate terrace-level apartment, fenced backyard and private dock which is not adjacent to the property, but only five houses down the block and a short walk through the woods. My husband and I live upstairs above the apartment but we minimize noise to the best of our ability when we have guests. This is a very unique lake getaway in a special neighborhood, “The Victoria Cottages,” a secluded golf cart community. Only a couple minutes down the road is Victoria Park with a large sandy beach, picnic area and four boat ramps to launch your boat or eat at the Sunset Grille overlooking the tranquil water while taking in a beautiful sunset on their large deck. A few miles away, you can rent a boat at Little River Marina. Please drive slowly through the neighborhood because the area is populated with “domestic deer” that roam throughout the community at liberty and with no fear. The Cottages is the first "cottage" area from the inception of Lake Allatoona in the '50's. It has narrow streets and is safe to walk or bike anytime of day. PLEASE NOTE: If you plan to rent a boat, call and reserve one in advance of your stay. Otherwise one might not be available. We have free parking for up to two vehicles and one boat trailer or two jet ski trailers.

Lake Escape is situated in north Metro Atlanta, less than an hour from downtown Atlanta, Hartsfield Jackson International Airport and the lovely North Georgia Mountains. Swim, boat and fish in one of Georgia’s top-ranked lakes from our private two-story dock which can accommodate your boat, jet ski or kayak. Know that it is only a 5-minute walk to the lake, but there are two flight of stairs down to the dock. Or you can play a game of cornhole in the yard, or on rainy days, play cards or a game of chess/Chinese checkers, watch one of the dozens of movies in our DVD and video library, or cuddle up with a book from the bookcase. A spacious desk allows you to comfortably keep in touch with work or post photos of your trip on the internet.
