Truly a wonderful HOME! We enjoyed a long weekend stay with our entire family of 15 all together. There was plenty of room for each of the 3 families to have their own level. Other wonderful experiences included;An Easy check in;Plenty of comfortable beds; The kitchen was comfortable and stocked with many dishes and cooking pots/pans/etc;The large windows on the back of the house were gorgeous and showcased the beautiful lake. We could see many sailboats at different times of the day; It was so relaxing to sit outside on any of the multiple decks; Plus those that were more active enjoyed the paddle boards and life jackets while on the water;The docks were in good shape to enjoy sitting on the water and launching the kayak.Easy check out procedures;and many more wonderful attributes and experiences. Thank you!

This house was perfect for our group of ten with ensuite bedrooms for all and large seating areas inside and out. It is located on a quiet street and has plenty of parking with a large circular driveway and carport for two cars. The owner/manager is very responsive and the checkin and checkout process was a breeze. The lake is beautiful and there's a marina just around the corner. We look forward to returning to this wonderful house.

Our 1st time on Lake Lanier and this home was ideal for all of our needs to maximize our stay. The views are amazing and everyone enjoyed swimming from the dock. We rented a pontoon boat and being able to tie up at the dock was a huge plus for convenience. Beautiful home with hardwood floors and everything we needed to accommodate our group of 15. The owners are terrific, quickly responding to all our questions. I can highly recommend this home and the folks who own it. Thanks for helping us have a wonderful summer vacation. Memories for a lifetime!

The lake and the property were beautiful! The host was excellent! The layout of the house was perfect for our group, but the house itself didn’t feel clean and had many minor repairs that hadn’t been addressed. There were many bugs in the house. Any time we had a specific issue, the host was immediately responsive and helpful.
