What can be better than relaxing on the water at Lake Lanier or spending time with family and friends on the Wrap-Around Rocking- Chair front porch? This cozy Southern Charmer is nestled in the trees and will bring hours of joy to you and your loved ones. Take a relaxing stroll to the waters edge or explore the surrounding area. You can entertain friends and family on the outdoor decks and porches that will easily sit 24. During the cooler months, gather around the outdoor wood-burning fireplace to roast marshmallows or engage in a fireside chat.
Or possibly you would rather be indoors and snuggle up to the fireplace in the great room. Let's not forget the inviting hot tub, privately situated on the lower deck among the trees. Anything your heart desires...you will find here!
Just minutes from this charming retreat you will find shopping at the North Georgia Premium Outlet mall, movie theaters, and restaurants. A short road trip will allow you to explore the Blue Ridge and Great Smoky Mountains boasting the Historic towns of Helen and Dahlonega, the Appalachian Trail, Tallulah Falls, White Water Rafting, Mountain Bike riding and hiking...just to name a few.

Creating memories is what life is all about!

Our stay at Southern Hospitality meets Country Charm (Oct.2-4-09) was absolutely PERFECT! We enjoyed our stay so much! The name definitely says it all. Very lovely home...everything we had hoped for & more. Very well stocked with your basics & more, which was very much appreciated. Thank you! Most important, was that this is a "pet friendly" property. We love taking our Boxer, Lexi, with us to the mountains on the family vacation. We had a wonderful time & we'll definitely be back. Thank you!
