Wonderful

We had a great time here! The dock and the lake were so fun. The place is cozy and had plenty of room for everyone. The kids loved the downstairs living area.
Overall the location is great. Steps from the water. Close to shopping and dining. But the home was not clean and in disrepair. The basement was recently remodel which was a bright spot. I would not recommend.
Our family enjoyed this home tremendously. Not only was it a beautiful location on the lake, it was very well stocked with all the essentials. The home was nicely decorated with multiple cozy areas for family to gather. The deck and dock were wonderful for outdoor meals and activities. Thank you for providing such a welcoming, comfortable home!
The property is perfect for enjoying the lake and being outside.

Charming lake cottage with AMAZING dock!
The house is an easy drive from Atlanta. Super cozy, neat and clean with responsive service and everything from the grill to the Wi-Fi to tea tree smelling shampoo. Two national chain grocery stores nearby.

Beautiful location
This property is on a beautiful location on Lake Lanier. We were hoping to do hike the trails nearby however it was too cold to be able to do that.. the house had a unusual layout. The basement was redone with a beautiful bathroom . The main floor has two bedrooms that shared a small bathroom. It had all of the needed items however, on the outside, weI had an issue with cleanliness as there were quite a few cobwebs and dust. I would recommend this property, especially for it beautiful location.

Amazing Weekend
We booked this perfect home for our weekend getaway. The home is in a perfect location on the lake, and the neighborhood is nice and quiet which made for a relaxing stay. The home is very cozy and welcoming. The dock made the whole weekend! It is the perfect place to catch some sun and enjoy beautiful Lake Lanier. Everything was super smooth and we will be back!
