Wonderful property!

Legacy Lodge is in a beautiful setting on Lake Lanier. Will be coming back and will play the golf course next time. Stayed in a lower unit villa and there is not enough insulation between floors. Sounded like a herd of elephants above us. Also, bit of a snafu at check out: we were over charged and am still waiting for the refund. Next time we'll stay in the lodge instead of the villa. Went to a great brewery and distillery nearby in Sugar Hills called Apparation Brewery. Look forward to visiting other breweries and wineries in the area.

Beautiful resort. Very courteous staff.

The only issues were restaurants were either in the water park or charged a huge $$ fee to eat. We decided to order take out from Bullfrog and was still charged $25 resort fee at the restaurant for take out! Also, the parking in the villas was a mess -- tight spaces, very crowded and folks parked sideways to take up two spots! In addition, Lake view wasn't -- it was covered by tons of trees. We did have a wonderful time with friends at the Banks & Shane concert! Will come back with family and take advantage of the amenities. Staff very friendly and let us check in early!

Beautiful and very peaceful. Staff couldn’t have been more pleasant. Really put me in the holiday spirit. Planning our next year trip!

Perfectly lovely. Wish would have have stayed several days to fully enjoy the lodge and facilities.

Beautiful lakeside lodge in a lovely setting. The lobby with fireplace has a very welcoming atmosphere, and our room overlooked the lake surrounded by trees. Serene and quiet location, perfect for relaxation.

Everything was great, I didn't have enough time there. It's a must that my husband and myself come back soon!

Property is gorgeous!! Were only there 2 nights but would definitely come again and recommend to friends!!

Multiple issues with this property. On entry there was a previously undisclosed parking fee for a second car. Staff blamed that on a different travel website. Took forever to get to check-in as valets blocked vehicle access to both the lobby and additional parking. Room was adequate (legacy villa) but when we opened drapes to view the lake we found a coozie and trash hidden by the curtains. Our friends were staying at a lake house but there was no provision other than swapping room keys to get through the gates that blocked access to each side of the same property. We were preparing a surprise birthday party so this made life logistically difficult. Lastly, (and at the recommendation of hotel staff so it's a known issue) the first night it took 30 minutes of running the hot water tap full open to get hot water to our room. In the morning it took 10 minutes of running water to get hot. Surprising that this waste occurs at a property dependent on water for its business
