Where peace meets possibility

Getting here made easy
We want your arrival to be simple and stress-free. The Cozy Lakeside Retreat is conveniently accessible by car, located within comfortable driving distance of several cities. You’ll receive detailed directions and check-in information before your trip. Expect scenic country roads as you get closer to the lake, fewer stores in the immediate area (so grab essentials beforehand!), and peaceful surroundings as you enter the lake community. Watch for lakeside views – you’re almost here!
Things to do at and around the retreat
Whether you’re here to relax or explore, there’s no shortage of memorable experiences. At The Cozy Lakeside Retreat, soak in the hot tub under the stars, cozy up by the fire pit, grill outdoors, pick fresh herbs from your private garden, or enjoy slow mornings at the coffee bar. Don't forget to visit the Driftwood & Thyme farm stand for seasonal treats. Sometimes the best activity is doing nothing at all! Located near Weiss Lake, known as the Crappie Capital of the World, enjoy world-class fishing, boat rentals, kayaking, and unforgettable sunsets. This is one of the Southeast’s most famous freshwater fishing spots!
