A lot of people tell me they'd love a place on the lake "someday." They picture something easy: a cabin with big windows, a deck for morning coffee, and a short walk down to their own boat. They usually assume that kind of place costs more than it does.

Here's what makes it special, and what you'll want to know as a buyer.

Why an A-Frame on the Lake Just Works
There's a reason the A-frame has been a favorite lake and mountain style for decades. The steep roofline makes room for tall ceilings and big windows, so the inside feels open and bright, and your eye goes straight out to the trees and water.
It's also a style with real personality. Guests remember an A-frame. It feels like a getaway the minute you pull in, which is exactly what you want from a lake house.
Down to the Water: Your Own Private Boathouse
A short, shaded path leads from the house to a private single-stall boathouse. Having your own covered slip means your boat is protected from sun and weather and ready whenever you are. No trailering, no waiting at the ramp, just walk down and go.
The home sits in a quiet cove in Big Cedar Point, so you get a calmer, more tucked-away feel than you'd find on busier open water. It's the kind of spot where you can paddle, fish, or float without a lot of traffic going by.
Inside: Open, Bright, and Easy to Live In
Main level
- Primary suite on the main level, so day-to-day living stays on one floor
- High ceilings that show off the A-frame's signature shape
- Kitchen with stainless steel appliances, a breakfast bar, a walk-in pantry, and a workspace
- Dining room for family meals and game nights
- Half bath for guests
- Laundry, with washer and dryer included
Upper level
- Two bedrooms and a full bath
- A loft that works as a reading nook, kids' hangout, bunk space, or home office
At 1,725 square feet, the house is the right size for a lake house. There's room for family and weekend guests, without a big house to clean and maintain every time you leave.
Outside: A Big Deck and a Fenced Backyard
An expansive deck
The deck overlooks the backyard and gives you plenty of space for grilling, dining, and relaxing outside. In a lake house, this is where you'll spend most of your time.
A shaded, fully fenced backyard
A fully fenced yard is a big plus at the lake, especially if you're bringing the dog for the weekend. The yard is shaded by mature trees, which keeps it comfortable even in the middle of a Georgia summer.
1.1 level acres
Level land is not something you can take for granted on the lake. Many lake lots are steep, which makes the walk to the water harder and limits how you can use the yard. At 101 Allens Alley, you get 1.1 acres that are easy to walk, easy to use, and easy to enjoy.
