The Green Heron Cottage is close to Auburn, AL, Columbus, GA & Pine Mountain, GA

This newly built cottage has 3 bedrooms and 2 baths with an open concept that is at the top of our 6 1/2 acre property with great views of the lake. The house offers private outdoor space including a back patio with lake views, hammock, grill, outdoor dining, and fire pit areas. You will feel right at home and relaxed with the tremendous water views and serenity. The primary bedroom has a king size bed, the second bedroom has a king size bed and can be used as a secondary primary bedroom as it also has it’s own private access to the covered porch. The third bedrooms has a super comfortable queen size bed plus a fold out couch in the living room for extra guests.

If you need less space or need more beds, take a look at our other property that is on our 4 acres and about 30 yards apart, the Blue Heron, which is a 2BR/1BA with the same great amenities and serenity surroundings. The Blue Heron and Green Heron can be rented individually or together for a larger gathering.

If the weather is less than ideal, enjoy some sports or movies with YouTube TV and Disney Plus, and free wi-fi or play one of the many board or card games that are available. The kitchen is ideal with a dishwasher, microwave, oven, stove top and refrigerator as well as a full kitchen including pots, pans, blender and more. The dining room accommodates 8 and after a day on the lake come back to a spacious comfortable living room with fantastic water views or choose to grill and chill with the gas grill and covered outdoor dining area also with an awesome water view.

The outdoor space is the key to the home and makes this the perfect lake retreat! If you want to fish or just watch the sunset, enjoy the shared long pier with a gazebo and floating dock to tie up your water toys. You don’t even have to find a boat launch, just use the one on the property to start your lake fun. If you just want to relax, enjoy the shared sandy beach with a swimming area or just lounge away soaking up the sun. If you just want to hang out in the shade and read a book or take a nap, jump into the hammock and just relax or sit at the covered picnic table and enjoy food and the lake views. Top the evening off, by having a bonfire in the fire pit area making s’mores and memories.

Most thoughtful place we have rented
Nothing short of the best! It is stocked with anything and everything you could need. You can tell the owners put so much thought into every detail from the water experience to the indoor and outdoor living. It was very clean and we hope to visit again.

Great vacation spot!
Once I saw the pics in the listing, I knew this was where we wanted to stay! The house looked amazing, and the lake was so inviting. When we got there, it was all we had hoped for and more. We went for my sons turning blue Graduation at Fort Moore, but we wanted to stay somewhere where we can relax and he could have some downtime just kayaking and swimming. It was just a 35 min drive, and the drive up was so beautiful it didn’t even seem like it took 35 min to get there from Columbus. The kids loved it there and cannot wait to go back. We walked in the door, and they had marshmallows, graham crackers, and Hershey’s chocolate bars waiting for us so we can make s’mores. I thought that was the cutest thing! Everything was very clean and very well kept up. I’m a bit of a clean freak so this place was a big plus for me. We even drove to Auburn to check out the university and went to Toomers Corner and had some delicious lemonades. That was also a beautiful drive and not too far. Howard and Angel were the best hosts, and were extremely easy to communicate with. We can’t wait to go back!

Wow!
I can’t say enough about this home! The owners have planned for all of the needs of their guests! Enough kayaks for everyone and life jackets in every size! The home was beautiful! Well designed and decorated. Sweet little beach with shade, nice long dock with a floating dock, second dock away from the beach, fishing equipment on site, plenty of parking, lots of games and even toys for kids! The rocking chairs outside the main bedroom are amazing! You don’t need to bring anything other than your personal items, food and swimsuits!! We are already planning our next stay!

Absolute perfection
I connot put into words adequately how much we loved our stay the the Green Heron. Our group of 5 included my son who had just completed his Turning Green at Ft. Moore, my Mom, Aunt, and Uncle. I wanted a place for him to be able to rest and recharge before returning for more specialized training. We also wanted to be close enough to Ft. Moore for graduation, and Columbus to tour his "must see" stops. This property was the best decision! The home was stocked with lots of fun games for a couple of game nights, it was close to delicious food (Backwater), a perfect little Country Market for groceries, and easy access to Columbus and Ft. Moore. Each were about a 40 min drive, and well worth the drive to justify driving out to stay here! The hosts were incredibly kind and generous, as were the other locals who stopped to congratulate my son. Part of my group has mobility issues, and while the property itself is on a slope, we had no issues accessing the home. This was very important to us. My son enjoyed a peaceful kayak ride with the equipment provided. The area is so quiet, we could hear the ducks flapping in the water from the back porch. The furnishings, including the beds, were extremely comfortable and tastefully arranged. I could go on and on. In a nutshell - we hit the jackpot with this find. Thank you!
