Absolutely charming place. A great mix of off-the-beaten track, with a small town only minutes away with shopping and everything you could possibly need for trip - even an outstanding bait/tackle/water sports store. Finding the place was a little strange, with Google’s map pin being a couple hundred meters off, but keep your eyes open for the yellow arrow, and you’re close. You do share a driveway with island dwellers, but everyone is friendly as they pass through, and it’s not busy. We saw 2 groups come and go - we didn’t even notice the second. Dock is about 1.5’ deep in August, just fine for a shallow draft boat. Public launch across the lake. The place is awesome, not a lot of frills, just a well kept, clean, and perfect place to call home for a short stay. I would 100% return for more fun on Lake Paugh.

Just what we needed, relaxing & comfortable!

We had a great time at Gramma’s on the Lake. Could not have asked for a more beautiful location, quiet and private! This was our first time using VRBO so we weren’t sure how the check-in process or communication would be - and it was seamless. Due to user error (me), I had a bit of an issue with the code getting in so I connected with our hosts who were immediately responsive and we were in within minutes with no issues. The property is beautiful, well maintained and clean as is the cottage interior which is a must if we’re going to be comfortable! Every amenity of home is available, all we had to do is bring a few groceries to keep for our stay and a trip to town is 10 mins away so it didn’t take so much away from a day when we needed to pick up a forgotten supply. We were so fortunate to have such beautiful weather and our hosts let us use their kayaks so we spent many hours on the water and exploring the islands. When we weren’t on the water we played many rounds of badminton or just relaxed in the fully screened-in room enjoying the view and serenity of the property. We will definitely be connecting to re-book at this property when we book next year’s vacations from work but for a full week next time. Thank you Randy and Christine - we really enjoyed our stay and appreciated your hospitality throughout!
