This house had a beautiful view of the lake from the large back deck & lower screened in porch. Neighborhood was nice. The host was very quick & kind to answer any inquiries & was accommodating. There were niceties in the bathroom, if you forgot something, which was a nice touch. The kitchen was well stocked with plates, glasses, cookware, etc. Nice older home, still in process of some updates, but that did not affect our stay.A bit steep walk to get to dock, but doable.

Cutest little lake house

Our stay here was fantastic. Check-in was super easy. The house was clean and had everything we needed for the week. Plenty of towels, dishes, cookware, even shampoo and conditioner were provided. The dock had floats, kayaks and paddleboards for a nice day on the lake. We would definitely come back again.

Very spacious, clean and comfortable stay. The pics do not do justice even better in person. Our host was very accommodating for a last minute trip and very helpful with places to see, eat etc in the area, and any other questions we had. We loved the view, seeing hummingbirds right outside the window, fishing, etc. The neighborhood was peaceful, safe and less than an hour from Atlanta where we were going for the aquarium. An absolute gem and I highly recommend it!

About the host

Hosted by Wendy Brand

Host profile image
I grew up in Atlanta and love hosting and making new friends along the way. I'm a Berry College alum majoring in Education and Psychology, with a Master's degree from North Georgia College & University in Education, Interrelated Education, and Psychology. I enjoy my 'kids' of 22 & 20, I have a habit of keeping the sidewalks down around towns due to miles & miles of running every morning, reading, learning about others & building relationships, cooking and playing piano. My newest addition is Pelotoning and kinda thinking one is needed at the lakehouse!

Why they chose this property

Born & raised in Atlanta comes with a love and admiration for Lake Lanier & its intriguing history, as well as the North Georgia Mountains. When I was a child, my grandma would tell me interesting stories of the beginnings of Lake Lanier and loved everything she shared with me. As a native Atlantan, I enjoy the comforts and memories of Lake Lanier and hope you will also.

What makes this property unique

One of my favorites is the view overlooking the beautiful trees and lake. It brings a sense of calm and peace on beautiful mornings and evenings. Another favorite is the storybook feel it has outside as well as inside. And finally, the openness of my lakehouse with windows along the back gives the feeling of peace, harmony and comfort. There are many more unique opportunities to find at Lake Lanier Getaway.
