Great Wedding Venue Location
My son’s wedding was at 2400 On The River. This house was about 15 minutes from the venue. It was perfect for our family. Very clean, comfortable beds, beautiful view of the lake. We enjoyed watching the baby deer by the lake in the morning and the hosts were excellent. If you have a special event in Ranger, we highly recommend staying in this home.

Perfect Lakeside Retreat for a Relaxing Getaway
We had a wonderful stay at this lake house. The location was perfect, with easy access to the water and beautiful views. The house was comfortable and made for a relaxing getaway. We spent our time fishing, kayaking, and enjoying the peaceful surroundings. The host was responsive and made sure we had everything we needed. We're looking forward to returning for another visit.

Mountain lake to ourselves
Everything as advertised - little lake with nice clear water, comfortable beds and seating, ceiling fans, plenty of linens and fully outfitted kitchen (with sharp knives, yay). The freezer works quickly so the two ice cube trays were enough for two people, would recommend bringing ice for larger groups. Water pressure in the shower was good. Kitchen tap has a filter on it for drinking water. You can see the lake while lying in bed! The other two houses are not so much on the lake as above it. The gently sloping lawn will seem steep if you're not used to mountains. We went to Carters Lake for big water and bigger fish. Host promptly replied when we had a question at check-in. Entrance and main level would be great for a stroller but not a wheelchair. P.S. Our dog had a great time too.

We stayed 5 days at the Cottage and really enjoyed it. Any trip we take, we take with our dogs in mind and this was one of the best yet! The setting was so peaceful and a good base for visits to the area towns, hiking, and sightseeing! Thanks for sharing your place!

Fantastic getaway!
Wow! Nice house with a great porch on a beautiful property in a picturesque setting. So peaceful and relaxing. Our dogs had an even better time than we did and are so exhausted. My wife and I drove around a bit to look at the rest of the resort area and the pool, but our teenage daughter and her friend had no intention of leaving the property. It says something when you can get two 18 year-old girls to leave their phones and just hang out by the lake or on the screened in porch. I can’t recommend this place enough.

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.

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.

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.
