Great host and location!

This is my second time staying here, just as great as the first. The location is very convenient for relaxing and meeting up with friends both in and out of the city. The hosts are so kind, and clearly communicated everything. Next time I have reason to be in the area, I will probably be back here!!

We completely enjoyed our stay. The communication with our hosts could not have been better from booking until check out. That property was sparkling clean and had all of the comforts and amenities to make a week long stay perfect for us. We will stay here again!

Perfect

I rented the apartment for sister and brother-in-law; they just loved it all: the location near the Lake, all very quiet. The apartment is perfect for couples, well-dimensioned and all amenities one needs. What blew their/our mind was our host Regina who would put any 5-star hotel service to shame; she responded to any questions; fixed issues or organized repairs in less than an hour; was attentive to details and made my family very much taken care of. Personally, I believe Regina might have spoiled them a little :-)

Cozy little Cottage

My wife and I really enjoyed our stay in Lanier. It was quiet and relaxing. Although I didn't know that we were renting an apartment in a basement, it was still a rewarding experience. Our host was wonderful in responding to any questions that we might have had. We definitely enjoyed the pool as well. Overall, we had a wonderful time. Thank you again Kelan and Regina for making it peaceful and enjoyable as possible. SK and Vette

Cozy retreat

The check in and out process was as easy as can be. Had no issues with anything, the host made everything very easy with easy to use instructions for just about everything on the property. The place was very relaxing, cozy, and well decorated, making us feel right at home. It was equipped with anything you could need. The place was also very clean which made us feel good. I would highly recommend to anyone visiting the area and would definitely stay again. Great location too! It was close to the lake without having to pay an arm and a leg.
