This 5000 square foot, gorgeous, Indonesian decor house is truly a lake-lovers dream. It is immaculately decorated in every room to an Indonesian-Asian theme. It is perfectly located in a fantastic ski cove, with amazing sunset views. It is directly at the center point of lake lanier providing easy access by boat to restaurants, marinas, golf, tennis, jet-ski rentals, camp out areas, hiking areas, and AN AMAZING ROPE SWING just around the corner by boat that swings right into the lake, etc. We also have a canoe on the dock available for your use and enjoyment. Also, we provide plenty of life vest for adults and children. Enjoy swimming off our dock with our easy access swim ladder for adults and children, just off the rear of the dock. The nearest boat ramp is Ducket Mill which is just directly across our cove, literally a 3 minute boat ride.
The home is nestled in the trees with fantastic views of the lake from all bedrooms, and the main dining room area. It has two large decks attached to the house, both with incredible lake view. After a fun-filled day playing in the lake, enjoy the indoor jacuzzi room in the house, also with a fantastic view of the lake.
This house is loaded with amenities such as DIRECT TV (satellite TV) with full subscription to all the movie channels, giant 50 inch Pioneer plasma flat screen with surround sound and DVD player to watch your rental movies from the nearby Blockbuster, a huge play room for the kids, pool table, X Box, treadmill, outdoor gas grill, rope swing off the back deck, TVs in all bedrooms, central heat and air throughout, woodburning fire place, the largest dock allowed on lake lanier (double slip, two stories with huge party platform on top - also great for jumping into the lake), etc. It is decorated first class! Hi-Speed Wireless Internet also available.
This lakefront house is our favorite place in the world. However, due to extensive travel this summer, we have decided to make it available to others for rental. Our double slip, two story dock with power is always on deep-water and will easily accommodate your boat rental. Also, the fishing in our cove is superb - huge striper bass everywhere. Stay at this house once, and you will want to come back every year!

We LOVED our stay! Our family truly enjoyed themselves, so much so that we plan on bringing a different group of family members up next year. Michelle (the property manager) was an excellent host, making sure that I was able to view the house ahead of time, find everything I needed upon arrival and that I didn't forget anything when leaving.

This lake house is absolutely AMAZING! Trust me when I say that the pictures do not do the home justice. We had 11 people staying in the house and there is so much room. The house is very open and is multi-leveled. It seems like you find another room or gathering area everytime you turn a corner or go up a few steps. The room and deck overlooking the lake are great, and the billiard room with flat screen provide a perfect place to hang out with friends, family, and children. An added bonus is the owner of this lake house is great to work with. He did a great job of communicating the contract and specifics of the lake house and responded to questions through email almost immediately. I would recommend this paradise on the water for family reunions, vacations, or just a weekend getaway. My family will definitely try to return to this home in the future.

My guests and I really enjoyed our time at the lake house. The property is beautiful and is decorated nicely throughout. We watched the sunset over the water from the back dock and it was amazing...so peaceful! We rented a boat at a nearby Marina and it was the only time we left the property. We used the grill, the jacuzzi and even jumped off the back dock (after ensuring the water levels were safe). Everyone that stayed had an amazing time. Enjoy it!

Our two families had a wonderful time enjoying the lake and fall scenery. The house is very comfortable, has plenty of gathering space and yet private areas for everyone to have their own space to relax. The wildlife around the house was amazing. We saw many deer around the neighborhood. The location is tucked away but yet close to shopping. We plan to return in the summer to really enjoy all the lake activities!

Our extended family - ranging from grandparents down to little ones - spent a week at this home and loved it. It's isolated enough to give you plenty of space and quiet, but still close enough to town for those inevitable grocery store runs for forgotten items. The dock was a highlight - we all enjoyed time on the lake, including renting a pontoon boat from a nearby marina. The house was lovely and well-maintained, with ample amenities. The multi-level layout gave us plenty of opportunities for multiple activities at once, or for someone to find space alone. The game room was a kid favorite! The housekeeper responded to our one small need by making a special run to the house to replenish some supplies. We were close enough to Atlanta to make two day trips - to the Georgia Aquarium and to Stone Mountain, both great destinations within about an hour's drive. We've rented large homes like this in several markets, but this was a favorite.
Owner response:We are delighted you enjoyed your stay and only hope you return soon. Thanks! THe Alperns

We had a mixture of children ages 3 1/2 - 11 & 6 adults. This house was wonderful for us! While some could be loud in the bonus room, others could be watching T.V. in the den & others could be napping in the basement (however, the napping never happened!). Clean & nicely furnished with everything we needed. We did "put away" some of the decorative items before children arrived just for precaution. Great back deck overlooking the lake & provided wonderful space for inviting even more over for evening dinners & fun. Boat dock was fun, too! We were in town for a family wedding & well familiar with the area, so area attractions weren't needed...but, many exist. Both kids & adults enjoyed our time at the "lake house"! Lots of stairs & steps both inside & out. By the end of our stay, my knees were ready for our single story home. Owner & housekeeper were very accommodating for our needs (Thanks Woody & Michelle!). We would definitely rent this house again for our family & recommend to friends!

A Spectacular Lakeside vacation

I was raised in the finger lakes region of New York State, lived in Buffalo on Lake Erie and in Tennessee, where TVA lakes abound, yet Lake Lanier was the most beautiful and user friendly lake I have ever experienced. This house is a very special place. On our vacation this past August there were 11 of us from 2 families. 4 adults, 3 teenagers and 4 younger kids. There was plenty of space for everyone. Sleeping arrangements were private, spacious and comfortable. I didnt think we would use the whole house, but we spread out and no one got in each others way at all. There was plenty to do for everyone. The kids played pool and the adults used the jacuzzi. Everyone loved sitting on the deck and enjoying the fire pit. There was a boat rental place not far away and we rented a pontoon boat that was capable of pulling innertubes on the back and the dock available on the property had no difficulty accomodating the rental boat. Of everything, the attraction that everyone enjoyed the most was the two story boat dock with the huge upper deck. Even us old folks enjoyed jumping into the deep water for refreshment. The water was high, clear and just the right temperature. If you are looking for a vacation that is not run of the mill and that is elegant and casual all at the same time, then give this property a try. The neighbors were friendly and helpful and I would rate this vacation an A+.

We just spent the weekend (Aug 1 & 2) at this house for my 40th birthday and had a fabulous time! The house was very nice and had everything we needed. It's a very unique layout with plenty of room and lots of modern amenities. Relaxing in the hot tub at the end of the day was great! The dock is huge, the pictures don't do it justice. It's set on a nice private cove that's great for skiing or wave runners. The neighbors are awesome and their dog "Bear" was the hit of the weekend. Although he's a little shy, he will come up to you on his own and will gladly do his tricks for whatever nibble you'll give him. Woody, the owner, was very responsive and accomodating. If you're looking for a nice roomy house with lots of amenities at a reasonable price, this is the place! Don't pass it by!
