Cozy Retreat on Gypsy Cove!
If you are looking for a place to unwind from daily life, this is the place!!!! Sit back & relax anytime of year with our covered screened in patio. Enjoy nature at it's finest.
Cozy Cabin nestled among the trees at Lake Sara. Home has an open concept living space with beautiful views of the lake. Private area you won't have to worry about unwanted noise. Lovely outside space great for relaxing and enjoying nature! Bring your boat with during your stay. There is plenty of space to swim from the dock and participate in all the water sports you desire. 4 bedrooms and 2 full baths make this getaway a truly relaxing and spacious retreat. One of the bedrooms is located in an open space with air conditioning above the garage. Great for couples or the entire gaggle of children leaving the adults to enjoy their time in the house. The other remaining bedrooms are inside. The home is located in a private cove that is away from the worries of wake from boaters passing by.
Outside there is large deck off the house that is great for entertaining or eating a meal. We have a charcoal grill on the deck for your use to grill out. There is a fire pit outside for your use. We do not usually stock firewood so I would recommend getting some beforehand for your use. If there is wood provided, feel free to use some of it. A short path leads down to the boat dock from the large deck, there you will find Adirondack chairs for relaxation & floats for use in the water. The door on the left side of the boat house has floats & noodles for use. Please be respectful of the neighbors and keep noise to a minimum later in the evenings. Failure to do so will result in funds taken from deposit.
If anything is damaged during your stay PLEASE let us know so we can replace what has been broken.
We want to invite anyone who wants to enjoy Lake Sara to its fullest to come relax! We strive to make your experience the best it can be. We hope to see you soon!
A couple notes: -Please respect our home as you would your own. -be respectful of the neighbors. They are within close proximity to the vacation rental and we would hate to disturb them. -this is a cabin type feel of a home. Itâs not updated or brand new. It isnât perfect. Price all reflects this. We have the same rate year round. If youâre not looking for the cabin feel, please donât book as it will not meet expectations! This is a safe clean place to rest heads and relax with those you love all in one place! We own the home next door as well so if you are in need of a place for several guests, look no further! That is located on VRBO has well under "Lake Sara Dream"

Check in was great, we did arrive in Effingham earlier than expected. We texted to see if we could enter the house earlier. We were texted back and the house was ready an hour earlier for us, which was wonderful. Kitchen was accommodating with good counter space & room. Fridge could have used a bit better cleaning. There were lots of crumbs of food in the door food/drink holders & on the shelves.

Good for a group
It was perfect for a group. There was plenty of room for everyone to sleep comfortably, and we loved having two large living areas plus the screened-in deck to spread out and relax. The location was peaceful and quiet, with a beautiful view. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a relaxing getaway with plenty of space in a serene setting.

Ok for a weekend
Letâs start with the good, beautiful view of Lake Sara! My kids and husband enjoyed fishing off the dock. Very nice outdoor area, although the deck has a lot of rotted wood so we didnât feel comfortable all sitting on the deck. The house is very dated which would be fine if it had been cleaned. Iâm not sure when someone was here last but the shower curtain in the bathroom is full of mold. There were cigarette butts still sitting in the ash of the grill. A lot of dust everywhere. There was not enough washcloths for everyone in the family to take 1 let alone 2 showers. I did contact the owner and he says not everyone uses washrags so they donât leave more than 4 per bathroom. I found that strange and slightly gross. Again, fine for a night or 2. I would not stay an extended time here. The house needs a lot of work.

Needs Updating
The house needs updating in several areas.
Access to the Fire Pit is dangerous.
No good way to put Canoe or Kayak in the water.
The Smart TV had access to some streaming options, but no access to standard TV channels.

Beautiful serene setting.
Everyone slept great! Plenty of room to spread out. And the setting was beautiful. The reason for the four, is the deck was a bit wobbly, and there were some rotten boards on part of the dock.

Great place!
We stayed here for a big family trip (including small child), and had a great time! We loved Lake Sara and the convenience of having a dock right off the back deck when we rented boats for the day, and the house itself had everything we couldâve wanted both inside and outside. Thank you for letting us enjoy the home!

Perfect Location, Good Price, Lovely Outdoor Areas, Easygoing Hosts, Could Have Been Cleaner
We booked this home for a girlfriend weekend retreat. It was perfectly located for us (coming from 4 different states). The outdoor areas are lovely and we were sad that the weather was such we didn't get to use them. The furnishings are dated (described accurately in listing), which would have been fine had the inside areas been cleaned better. The bathroom and kitchen were clean enough (though the cleaning process left an unpleasantly strong disinfectant smell behind, which lingered for a long time, bit of a musty smell later), but there was a fairly thick layer of dust on surfaces throughout the rest of the house and the floors were cleaned only in the centers of the rooms if at all. There were mouse droppings, dead insects, and accumulated dust/dirt in the corners and under the furniture. That all said, we are all 60-something yo women who keep our own homes so we are relatively tough critics. Also, we were mostly housebound for the weekend, so the condition of the indoor areas mattered a lot to us.

Pretty place
The place in general was nice. We had an incident with our dog where he got into mouse poison that was left in plain sight by the pest control company. Needless to say we had to make an emergency visit to the vet.

It is a beautiful home and was a warm weekend to explore the wooded surroundings. We had hoped to fish, but the lake was down a bit. Enjoyed morning coffee on the deck and back porch listening to birds. Only there 3 nights so did not need to talk to property manager.

Quiet fall getaway
Really enjoyed our two nights here. Plenty of space with a lovely view out onto the lake. Be sure to bring everything you need (shampoo, firewood, oil for cooking, etc.) as there was none provided.
