Our family group of 13 found everything as advertised and it was the perfect choice for our five night stay celebrating 70th birthdays, 50th and 25th wedding anniversaries, a 17th birthday, etc. Kevin and Julie were always quick to respond to all of our questions. This is a highly recommended rental!
This place was awesome. We got it for my grandma’s 90th birthday and she’s still talking about it. Lots of space, fun amenities, and very nice overall.
Beautiful property! The layout of the house is ideal for multiple groups....lots of space! The house was spotless when we arrived! We enjoyed grilling on the oversized deck off....very peaceful and enjoyed watching deer & white squirrels! We appreciated how everything was labeled and the kitchen was well supplied...even had two dishwashers! The property is conveniently located to shops, grocery stores and less than 10 min from downtown Gainesville. The hosts' communication was great and always responded, which is refreshing.
We had a great stay over New Year’s! The house was spacious and perfect for group gatherings, with plenty of areas to relax and enjoy quiet downtime. The location is fantastic—right on Lake Lanier in a nice neighborhood, close to Atlanta, Helen, and charming downtown Gainesville. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend this home.
Was a great house for the groomsmen’s home base during our wedding weekend! Wonderful host, so many fun things to do, and plenty of space for whatever you need! We highly recommend staying here :)
The house is roomy and comfortable, plenty of room for the 11 people in our group and is close to downtown Gainesville and the botanical gardens. We had a great time staying here and highly recommend it to others.
Such a big, beautiful, comfortable, lake home in Gainesville. Four couples came together for a Valentines Day weekend “staycation”. We relaxed on the outdoor deck and watched the beautiful scenery, played competitive pool, table tennis and foosball in the basement, we made chef inspired meals in the gourmet kitchen- it had everything we needed. The rooms were comfortable and each couple was able to have privacy. I definitely recommend the property, location, and amenities, furthermore the host was extremely responsive.We made wonderful memories and took amazing photos!!Five 5 experience!!
We truly enjoyed our Thanksgiving at Sweet Tea on the Lake. The game room was a hit for all of us. It was a pretty cold weekend, so we didn't get to enjoy the lake toys. Overall, it was a great place to relax and spend quality family time.
We had a really nice family reunion to celebrate my father’s 90th birthday. There was plenty of space for everyone to enjoy their favorite activities. We’re all sort of “sit, visit, eat and repeat” types so there was plenty of that while we watched a white squirrel from the deck! There were 4 scientists in our group so the surrounding nature was a big hit. Nice memories were made!
This house was wonderful, plenty of space for everyone and everyone had a good time at the lake. Our hosts were helpful and accommodating. Would love to stay here again.
Sweet Tea on the Dock was amazing. My family loved floating/swimming off the dock, watching the deer, the game room, all the porches, and the house is beautiful and comfortable. My family had a fantastic time!
The home is extremely spacious. All bedroom are spaced for privacy but the home also had multiple areas for our group to gather. We stayed here with family for my son's wedding in Dahlonega, GA. The venue was a quick 25 minute ride away. The home is on the lake but literally 3 miles from all the food, shopping, grocery stores and hair and nail places. Our expectations were beyond exceeded.
The house was exactly like we expected & very comfortable for all of us( 9 adults & 4 kids)I especially like the downstairs extra full kitchen in case you wanted to keep drinks or snack food closer to your bedrooms down there. My favorite porch was the upstairs outside porch with the ceiling fans & TV & small fire pit!
Took a trip with a group of guys and this was was a great place to stay! The location was perfect. We loved the dock and the kayaks! Would absolutely stay here again!
This house was perfect for a large family gathering. Plenty of space and plenty of bedrooms/bathrooms. We enjoyed the lake amenities. It could use a good deep cleaning, but couldn’t everyone’s home, Ha! There are many things to do nearby as well. I would definitely recommend this place if you have a large family with members of various ages.
