Oslin Oasis

The picturesque drive to Oslin Oasis lets guests know that there’s something special inside the gates of Reynolds Lake Oconee. After meandering under towering pines and hardwoods, passing the lush greenery of the #4 hole of The National Golf Course, glimpsing the pond with its twin fountains, and cruising alongside the boardwalk cart path, those ready for a tranquil setting with abundant amenities will find this charming 3-bedroom, 3.5-bath retreat ready to meet and exceed all expectations.

Stepping through the front door, guests are greeted by an open floor plan accented by a vaulted ceiling and plenty of sunlight from the rear-facing clerestory windows. During warm months, the overhead windmill ceiling fan provides gentle breezes and a rustic flourish to the surrounding soft hues. An oversized sectional provides plenty of comfortable seating, and with three additional armchairs, there’s no lack of cozy spots. A flatscreen TV delivers streaming services and binge watching opportunities. For those who want a more immersive experience, a home theatre room is steps away and is outfitted with two electric recliners, flatscreen TV, and surround sound entertainment system. A powder room is conveniently located across the hallway.

The adjacent chef’s kitchen features stainless steel appliances, including a French door refrigerator, built in oven and microwave, and a five-burner gas stovetop. A large central island provides a dishwasher, sink, and additional counter space and cabinet storage. For coffee afficionados, a flex brew maker sits nearby and provides the option of single k-pod or carafe servings. Cabinets are well-stocked with dinnerware, cookware, and serving ware. A generously sized pantry sits behind a sliding barn door, and a barbeque deck with a propane grill is right off the kitchen. Guests will have multiple choices of where to dine. Four barstools at the island are great for kids or crowd overflow, and the dining table offers seating for an additional six and terrific views of the wooded property. The covered deck provides a more al fresco experience at its 8-capacity table that overlooks the wooded common area.

The master on main boasts its own private entrance to the covered deck, a perfect way to slip out and enjoy a nightcap or a sunrise cup of coffee. There’s also a desk/writing area with private views of the shaded backyard, a reading nook with an Eames-inspired chair and a lever floor lamp, a dresser, and a flatscreen TV. Our favorite amenity, though, is what might be overlooked in the expanse of the room: a king-size Sleep Number mattress on top of a Serta massage frame – both with remote customization! The ensuite bath is equally as lavish. It showcases a double sink vanity with integrated makeup table, soaking tub, and a luxurious walk-in tiled shower. The master closet is a place of haute couture dreams, with enough space and custom shelving to easily accommodate clothes and luggage.

On the opposite wing of the main level is a king guest room with walk-in closet. The ensuite bath provides privacy while allowing plenty of natural light to illuminate the frameless glass shower. Down the hall is a large laundry room with full-size front-load washer and dryer. A mud room connects to the double-bay garage.

The upstairs bonus room is a delightful surprise and can sleep up to four on two twin beds and a queen, the latter equipped with the same Serta massage frame found in the master. An armchair, dresser, and flatscreen TV complete the sleeping area, and a private full bath makes this space the perfect room for a young family or grandkid headquarters.

With so much comfort at every turn, guests may not have much reason to leave Oslin Oasis, but for those who want to explore the community, there is plenty to offer! Reynolds Lake Oconee is surrounded by 19,000 acres of water to explore by boat, ski, kayak, or canoe. If you’re feeling a little water-logged, 21 miles of hiking and biking trails wind throughout the Reynolds campus.

Just outside the gates are plenty of restaurants and retail shops. Right off Linger Longer Road, stock up at Publix, try one of the blends from PJ’s Coffee of New Orleans, or peruse the unique home accents at Bend the Trend. South on Highway 44, Harmony Crossing is home to some of our favorites, including Inaho Japanese Steak & Sushi and 44 Marketplace. We also recommend visiting the historic districts for a unique shopping and dining experience. Be sure to check out the local events, festivals, and farmer’s markets, too!
