The Little Blue Cottage on the Lake

The little Blue Cottage on the Lake is a charming home set on a 3 acre lot in private North Georgia gated mountain community of Talking Rock Creek Resort. Home sits on a 10 acre private lake with a gentle walk to the water. Enjoy listening to the frogs croak and the birds chirp on the screened in porch facing the water. 
Fish right from the yard in the stocked, private lake or amble down to the pavilion to feed the ducks. 2 Kayaks, life jackets and john boat are also available for guest use. Community also offers 2 swimming pools, tennis court, playground and basketball court, and walking trail. Carter's lake is just minutes away for boating, swimming, fishing, hiking and more. This is also a great launch point for mountain hikes, wineries, and breweries.
The cottage is ready for comfort, cooking and hanging out with the family! Features 3 bedrooms with plush king beds, dish enabled t.v. and ample closet space. One of the 3 bedrooms and full bath are on the main floor. Inviting open concept living and dining room is a great place to hang out in the evenings and play board games. The living space leads to the wrap around screened in porch that stays cool with 3 large ceiling fans. Dine al fresco on the porch at the farmhouse table and watch the ducks swim into the sunset.
Cooking at the cottage is easy! Fully stocked country kitchen includes electric range, oven, convection microwave, Instantpot, coffee maker that brews full pot, single cup or k-cup. The stocked spice rack will also make cooking on the gas grill even tastier! Large outdoor gas grill features side burner and rotisserie. The fire-pit is also a great place to hang out and make smores or have a dinner of fire roasted hot dogs.
The cottage is family friendly including well behaved dogs! Dog bowls, balls and towels just for Fido are included. 
Washer and dryer help you stay fresh and clean even after outdoor fun. Outdoor hose is also included if your dog likes to chase ducks into the water as much as ours does!
Level 2 electric vehicle charger with J plug is installed! Plug fits most vehicles, bring an adaptor if you have a Tesla. Next closest charging station is over 20 miles away so don't sweat it and plug in!

Great Time on the Lake
The location of the property was great and right on the lake. We enjoyed our stay and made s’mores by the fire pit. The grill was great although we did need to get propane as the tank was empty. The dishwasher was also a little broken, but it still worked fine. All in all, it was a great stay with beautiful scenery, and I would definitely book again.

Cozy Winter Stay
My family had the best time connecting with loved ones from the area, building a fire and letting the dog run around the beautiful property! Everything was clean and well thought out during our stay. Saving for another trip in the summer!

Christmas at the Little Blue Cottage
The Little Blue Cottage is a charming place with a wonderful pond and firepit. We were pleased to arrive for our Christmas get-a-way to find a tree and garland decorating the living area. The beds were clean and comfortable, adequate seating, sufficient dishes and cooking supplies. Many little 'extras' were provided. Definitely a retreat from civilization. Don't plan to do any on-line work, as the internet does not support much. Could not stream movies to entertain the children without constant buffering. A little attention by a handyman would upgrade this location to an excellent rating.

Great Get Away
Our family recently grew with a new grandson and we wanted to be able to share Thanksgiving with the whole family. This cottage has a retreat feel with the lake view and privacy. We loved it and hope to plan another long weekend in the spring.

Absolutely Wonderful!
If you’re looking for a quiet getaway with a home that has everything you need for a relaxing stay (and I mean everything) look no further! We had the best stay at this little cottage on the lake! We fished, we grilled, we relaxed all in between attending baseball games and going antiquing all over northern Georgia! There are amazing wineries less than 45 minutes away….the Fainting Goat is a much see with an amazing view and great wine! If you’re looking for a quiet get away in Northern Georgia, this is your place!

Thanksgiving 2022
Every year my family (who are spread across three states) gather in North Georgia for the week of Thanksgiving. This year we selected The Little Blue Cottage on the Lake. It was perfect for our family. My young grandsons loved playing in the vast yard with our dogs while looking for deer tracks. In the evenings we enjoyed roasting marshmallows over the fire pit. We had great communication with the owner with quick replies to all our questions. This is great rental for a multi-generational family get away. Would consider renting this cottage again.
