The Lodge on Lake Oconee
The Lodge is exactly what it sounds like, a casual, laid-back lakefront hotel tucked into one of Lake Oconee's quieter coves, right here in Eatonton. No pretense, just good access to the water and a relaxed atmosphere that's hard to find at a larger resort.
Rooms range from standard guest rooms to spa tub suites and multi-room family suites, and free breakfast is included. The property has eight boat slips, canoe and kayak rentals, an outdoor pool, sauna, and a fire pit at the water's edge, the kind of place where the evening plan is s'mores and nothing else. Bring your boat and tie up at the dock, or rent one nearby.
It's also a solid pick for small corporate retreats and group getaways, the Great Room handles meetings, and afternoons on the lake take care of the rest. Fishing tournaments, family reunions, and wedding parties book here regularly.
Good to know: Pets allowed with fee. Free Wi-Fi. Boat and trailer parking is limited, review their parking rules before arrival.
