Thank you for reviewing I wish I could have made it a 10 out of 10 for you guys. Thank you for your review about great fishing! It is such a beautiful area and the fishing is top notch with super great water!
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.

Thank you so much! I wish I could have made it a 10/10 for you! The view is amazing and relaxing and peaceful. I'm so happy you enjoyed all of it and hopefully made nice memories.
Beautiful, spacious and clean and right on the lake! Just under an hour to the spectacular Atlanta aquarium and downtown. The 4 of us had an awesome time! The house was nicely decorated and the host is superb – so many special touches throughout the home and communication is terrific. Highly recommend it!
We stayed at Wendy’s property for a girls weekend and it was perfection! The property has literally everything you need. Just bring yourself, your bathing suit, and you will be super satisfied!

Thank you so much! You guys were a lot of fun & a joy to host!
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.

Thank you Cameo! You were super great, please come back!
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
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.
