My family stayed here for a short visit to the Atlanta area. Unfortunately we had such a busy schedule we were not able to take advantage of any of the lake related activities. The cabin was great! It was cozy and had everything we needed. Host was super and very responsive!!

Great place. 2 of us stayed there, but they have 3bd, 3ba and a pull out sofa, plus two oversized comfy living room chairs. Neta decor, very woodsy/lakey. The short trail down to the dock/cove area was a magical little walk, unveiling a nice surprise over the bend. Great place, easy parking, good location for anything near Cumming.

This cabin directly on Lake Lanier is by far one of the best short-term rental rentals my family and I have ever had the pleasure of enjoying. The cabin is absolutely adorable and furnished very well. Everything we needed was there. The fact that they offer so many conveniences such as coffee, great toiletries, etc. Everything we needed was already there. We will definitely be staying there again. I was there with three other members of my family to enjoy our wedding being held at a venue incoming. The location was perfect and serene that also very close to Georgia 400. Can not recommend high enough!

Cozy little house. Bathrooms are awesome and beds are comfortable. Great stay! It would be nice if the county would pave the road but didn’t effect our trip.

The house was nicely remodeled; but we saw multiple cockroaches (some alive and some dead) in the upstairs bedrooms. The AC unit in the master was great, the other bedrooms were warm. The place smelled like someone had previously smoked in it, was musty and stale even when we had fans running. Close to lots of fun things to do, and was reasonably priced but not perfect.

We had a very nice stay. Excellent communication with the property manager as well. I enjoyed the walk down to the dock but for our older guests it was a little more difficult. Great place to stay and glad we picked this lovely cottage!
