Mountains and Lake, Hot Tub and Gameroom Onsite.
Year Purchased: 1997
Why the Owner Chose Gainesville
We didn't purchase this house as a vacation rental, but it sure has worked out to be a great one. This is a great area for a vacation rental, with the lake so close, you don't need to pay top dollar to enjoy the lake. It is so convenient to so many activities and shopping, you can drive just 10 to 30 minutes to a multitude of fun activities to do. It is just far enough out to get away from it all, but not too far away where you are spending all your time in the car.
The Unique Benefits at this House
We stay at our rental often and love how quiet it is there, very little traffic. We stayed so often, we missed our hot tub at home, so we bought one for the rental house for you to enjoy too. We also recently added a 32 inch tv in the livingroom and a 27 inch tv in the master bedroom, as well as replaced the old charcoal grill with a new gas grill. We really enjoyed the quiet area with very little traffic and surrounded by nature. With a pool table, air hockey, ping pong combination that works well with the fooseball table, there is plenty onsite amenities for entertainment. And, with the lake just 2 minutes away, we always had something to do. We could take a picnic to the lake or the pool and stay all day. To add to that, it didn't cost anything to enjoy the lake or the pool.
The pool is located within walking distance for most, or 1 minute by car and easy to find. Clean restrooms, pavilion, brick BBQ grill, tennis and basketball court.
Located just a 2 minute drive, where you will find boat ramps, clean restrooms, picnic areas, great fishing, paved walking trails and ducks!! Launch your boat from here and you will find numerous sand
Take a short 15 minute walk from the house to here for fishing or walking along the shoreline. You may even find some treasures.
Here you will find a fantastic park for kids and adults alike. There is a huge fenced playground for kids of all ages. There are also several tennis courts, baseball fields, soccer fields, basketbal
This is a very convenient are a to shop. Nearly any restaurant you can think of, movie theatre, video rentals, The North Ga Premium Outlet Mall, etc.
Owner's Map of Gainesville
We purchased this house in 1997 and absolutely love it. We got married in the driveway, raised the kids here and in 2006, made the difficult decision to move to a property better suited for my husbands business. The house was for sale 6 months and it didn't sell. It was then we decided to share our home with others as a vacation rental. What a great idea!
I am a housewife and manage our vacation rental myself. I find it a great part time job and really enjoy it. I pay particular attention to details and clean it myself for your comfort and safety. With 15 years professional housekeeping experience, you will definitely see this is not your average rental.

Perfect home for a relaxing vacation

This was a very nice and spacious home. It was an excellent value for the money. The house was very clean, comfortable and well maintained. The homeowners were great to do business with. Roxanne has a vacation guide with area attractions and menus for local restaurants which we found useful and we actually added some handouts from area attractions we visited during our visit. The area has a lot to offer and we enjoyed our stay greatly. We also visited during the leaves changing in the fall which enhanced the beauty of the area. I especially appreciate that the home was pet friendly. We were able to bring our dogs with us!!!! I would definitely recommend this home for families or couples looking for a comfortable, relaxing and clean vacation home.
Owner response:Thanks Denise, I am glad you enjoyed your stay and Thank you for your guest review. I hope to see you again sometime. Roxanne

We are a family with 3 teens, visiting from Curacao. We loved it here. We visited a lot of places: the waterfalls, the lake, Atlanta, Helen (tubeing) and we've been canoeing. It was all so great. And when we got back here, it was nice sitting on the porch with a glass of wine, enjoying the beautiful view, while the kids enjoyed 'their cave' in the basemeant playing pool and ping-pong... Thank you so much for letting us stay in your house.

We are from Germany and fell in love with the house immediately! Our 3 teen ag kids especially liked their 'playroom' in the basement (great idea). We checked out the pool a couple of times and the lake. We also went downtown Atata to see some points of interest. The countryside is lovely, and you can tell the house was decorated with love. Auf Wiedersehen!

This house was perfect for us and my infant son. He loved crawling around playing and I loved our time together on the front porch. The hot tub was wonderful too. The house is clearly loaded with love and is well cared for by friendly people. We even made attempts at tennis.

We live nearby and needed a place to stay while our house underwent renovations due to a 'flood'. Your house has been a refuge for our family of 3. We were here for the leaves and they were spectacular! We loved the hot tub and made good use of it quite often. Thank you for helping us turn a mini-disaster into a fun adventure.

Hi, We are visiting from ARkansas. We stayed the 6th - 9th of Dec., 2011. The weather was okay. A couple days of rain, great for sleeping in, and a couple days of shine, great for enjoying the beautiful surroundings. We just relaxed, had family tim, soaked in the hot tub. I taught my 3 year old daughter how to play air hockey and loved having a warm fire to lay in font of at the end of the day. Thank you for opening your home to us. It is very roomy and we enjoyed staying here. Who knows, maybe we will end up here again one day! Love from our family to yours, Kaylee, Lindee Steve and Leah

Review Submitted: 12/19/11
This house screams Garage sale furnishing. Nothing in the house was clean. The beds were the hardest, most noisy dirty things imaginable. I've stayed in a lot of VRBO homes with my work I travel about 50% of the year but this one is the worst I've ever stayed in. On top of the horrible conditions of the home the homeowners accused us of doing something to the hot tub in order to keep some of my deposit and also said that there was a hole in a bedspread that we know nothing about. My daughter and granddaughter actually slept on the couch afraid to sleep on the dirty matresses upstairs. Out of a 1 to 10 and 10 being good this one rates a 0.
Owner response:My apologies is the house did not meet your expectations. We work very hard to keep it and the hot tub clean and well maintained. I can assure future guests the house is clean as well as the hot tub and furnishings are clean and comfortable.

My family and I went up for the weekend and stayed in the house. Everything was great and the weekend ended with my boyfriend asking me to marry him on the back porch. The house has all the ammenities needed for a nice family trip and it is close to Lake Lanier, shopping, and restaurants. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. Thank you so much for working with our family and we look forward to an opportunity to stay with you all again soon!
Owner response:Thank you, Amy for the sweet review. Most importantly, congratulations. Let me know if you get in the area again and Best Wishes to the happy couple.
