Wonderful home.
A beautiful home with a wonderful view, we had all our children, their spouses and our grandchildren together for Thanksgiving. The home is huge and comfortable. If you’re looking for home near many activities in North Ga this is a great spot. We were very happy with our stay.

Nice house on quiet cove
Great place for a weekend getaway with family/friends. Owner is very responsive and easy to work with. House is nice and the teens really enjoyed the game room. Dock is a little dated and if you're traveling with little kids or seniors just be aware that the house has lots of stairs. Access to the lake is very close, but steep and uneven footing. Overall, highly recommend.

Beautiful and functional property!
We decided to rent this property to stay with our wedding for a long weekend. It was absolutely perfect for us. The house has a ton of amenities and is well laid out for several adult couples to stay. Great Lake access plenty of parking. The host was very responsive and was very accommodating. Highly recommend.

Quiet Getaway
The lakehouse was very spacious and nicely equipped. There were rooms and more rooms for everyone to have their "space". Our family spent much time on the 4 porches, just taking in the sounds of nature. I would definitely come back again.

Wonderful girls getaway!
The house was even prettier and better than the listing claims! This was a perfect place for our group of 9, although it would sleep many more! We loved just relaxing on the dock in the sunshine. The Walmart is only 10 minutes away, making a grocery pick up super convenient. I highly recommend!

Great family reunion
Property was perfect for 10 adults and 1 5 yeqr old. Amenities were well used as was the kitchen. Being right on the lake was great, several people bought fishing poles and went fishing. Only complaint i would have is the path to the dock is treacherous for older people. Overall, though, everyone had a great time!

Great house for multiple family
This house was an excellent vacation for my friends and my family. Several of us have children now and the layout was good for families. There were enough floors and spaces that allowed for groups to be louder without disturbing early sleepers. The place was clean and nicely decorated for the holidays. We stayed in winter so didn't get to enjoy the lake but sat on upper dock for a bit and it was nice foggy morning.

A Five-Star🌟Retreat on Lake Lanier
Our stay at the Lake Lanier was absolutely phenomenal! From the moment we arrived,we were blown away by how clean the house was. The stunning views of Lake Lanier nestled way back in a tranquil cove made for a relaxing weekend. We enjoyed morning coffee, lunch & dinner out on the deck. Every detail of the house was thoughtfully curated. It was the perfect balance between luxury and cozy comfort and that made us feel right at home. The fully stocked kitchen made all of our meals a breeze. Lastly, the host, Sherri, went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed and was very prompt with her communication. Overall our stay exceeded all of our expectations and I can’t wait to book again! Thank you, Sherri!!!

Great friends reunion destination
We had a friends reunion with a group of 8 guys and wanted a place both away from it all but also comfortable and with enough activities to keep us busy. This property did not disappoint! We had more than enough beds and bedrooms, multiple living spaces, a highly functional kitchen, a private lakeside dock to hang out on, and we loved the game room with pool, ping pong, and even a gym. We were also a short drive away to breweries and restaurants, a golf course, and boat rentals (highly recommend Paradise Rental Boats at Lake Lanier). We had an amazing stay and Sherri was extremely communicative and helpful throughout the process of reserving, checking in, etc.. Highly recommend for your next group getaway!

Ideal location for family getaway
The property is exactly as represented on VRBO. Communication with the agent was most excellent. Location on Lake Lanier: perfect for us. Large cove off the high traffic portion of the lake. We were able to kayak (steep hill down to the water - carrying the kayaks down and up require a bit of athleticism) without any worries from powerboat wakes. Sun deck was very nice - for us, weather during out stay was fantastic! Kitchen stocked with all the required tools to allow us to cook means. Gas grill in great condition. We made good use of the ping pong and pool tables ... We hiked nearby trails ... all in all a great stay in a great VRBO home. Highly recommended!

Review
Service and house were nice. Probably would not book it again because they charge the security deposit 30 days in advance. It's very annoying to have to pay that credit card bill and wait to have it credited. Do it like everyone else - charge the day of arrival and then credit back after the stay.

Couldn't Ask For Anything Better
This house was everything I had expected and more. The location was amazing, right on the water and in a very nice neighborhood with nice new roads making it very accessible. Once inside I was very impressed with how large each living space was. Having the bedrooms split amongst the floors made for a very pleasant experience having 6 adults in the house and everyone having plenty of personal space. Also the two huge living areas plus an entirely separate game room with a pool table and ping pong table (each in great condition and fully functional). There was never a shortage of space to enjoy. Even 3 levels of deck overlooking the shaded back area leading out to the dock. All in all this house is a one that I will definitely book again!
