This property and the host Misty and her husband were wonderful! Friendly and helpful! We had everything we needed. The property was so beautiful and relaxing!! Morning coffee by the waterfall and nature and wildlife was very calming. The walk to the lake was convenient and the kids loved the indoor pool and the fire pit. It was a comfortable and tremendous stay. Everyone enjoyed the paddle boards and kayaks.
We stayed here for my daughter’s wedding. The house was the beat place to enjoy some peace and quiet from the hustle and bustle. The kids played in the pool while the adults played pool or sat and relaxed! Watching the deer while drinking my coffee was the best. We even saw a red fox! Missy and her husband we the best. So friendly and inviting. We would definitely stay here again.
My husband and I stayed here with our wedding parties for wedding weekend. Missy was so easy to communicate with and incredibly accommodating! The home was beautiful, clean, and well stocked. We could not have asked for a better experience.
Our family greatly enjoyed our stay at Missy and Steve’s home. The house and property are beautiful and they did everything to accommodate us. If we go back to Lake Lanier we will be staying at their house again.
The property is perfectly located near shopping and lake side entertainment and dining. Steve and Missy are the most incredible hosts and you will not be disappointed!
If i could give this 10 stars we would. Simply perfect in every way. Steve and Missy are amazing and made us feel at home from the second we arrived until we departed. The Misty Pond Resort will hold a special place in our hearts forever.
The property was beautiful. The home was everything we needed. Our event was perfect. The property managers were helpful and greeted me upon arrival. We enjoyed our stay.
The home was perfect for us as we traveled from Louisiana to attend a family wedding. It exceeded all our expectations plus more. propertyThe host thought of EVERYTHING!!! We were NEVER in need for anything. We enjoyed most the beautiful surrounds, waterfall, nature trail, kayaking and the location. The perfect place to relax and enjoy the company of family and friends. Would highly recommend as we are looking forward to hopefully getting opportunity to go back❤️
PERFECT accommodation for bridal party, wedding party and a family/friends brunch. Several guests told me that this property was the highlight of a wedding weekend that included the Botanical Garden and The Chair Factory! Hosts are beyond gracious!
I often ask myself I spent how much for this vacation but my stay here my question was is that all I spent for this vacation? The place was wonderful and the host and hostess were fantastic. They went above and beyond to make sure we were happy!!
This house was great for our group of friends. The kids loved the pool and pond. The property is perfectly maintained. Missy was great to work with! We will definitely come back to stay.
Our family selected this property for space and location for us to be able to enjoy a Thanksgiving getaway! We truly had the best time whether it was baking in the kitchen, working puzzles and playing games at the large dining table, watching football or the Thanksgiving parade as we swam in the wonderful indoor pool. We could not have had a better experience. The house was beautifully decorated for the holidays and absolutely perfect for our time away.
This is a great "Resort" The kitchen was the best appointed we have ever rented, Easily. The owners Missy & Steve do a great job and offer an outstanding opportunity. You can feel comfortable choosing to stay at the Misty Pond Resort.
Scott & Patty
To quickly summarize, we could not have been more pleased with the resort and accommodations. The house and property are outstanding and the hosts are attentive and gracious. It was a wonderful experience which is highly recommended.

About the host
Hosted by Missy Bentz
Steve and Missy Bentz- We are the owner/operators and we live in the carriage house on the property. We had a furniture repair business for 30 years and were ready to retire from having a larger business with employees to doing something with less stress and more fun! We hope to be able to bring peace, restoration, and fun to families and friends at our beautiful Misty Pond Resort.
Why they chose this property
My husband and I fell in love with the property and had to have it! We also wanted to share its beauty with others, so the perfect way to do that was by short-term rentals. We had the idea to make it into a private resort for families and friends to come and enjoy the beauty and peacefulness of nature and of being together having fun! Come and enjoy wildlife, gardens, forest, water activities, and so much more!
What makes this property unique
This is not just a home- it is a resort property packed with things to do such as swimming, kayaking, nature trails, basketball, and much more! We also feel that having us on the property is a benefit because while we give you your privacy we can also be available if you need anything or have any special requests. We try to do little things throughout your stay to make it more special. Never hesitate to let us know how we can make your stay better and memorable so that you will want to come again and again!
