With health and safety being top of mind these days, we have found that a lot of travelers are leaning away from properties that have accommodations stacked on top of each other and turning towards properties that feature stand-alone options. Especially when traveling with kids, having the added peace of mind that staying in a cottage, villa or residence on a property with access to resort amenities like pools, restaurants, and other recreation options. The Ritz Carlton Reynolds, Lake Oconee is a great option for those who want to opt for private, standalone accommodations. The lakeside property offers a range of cottages and lakeside homes that have plenty of room for families with a range of bedrooms, living spaces, and access to the resort’s amenities. With the added benefit of the incredible Ritz Kids Club program, this property is driveable for those who live in the South East.
