Place is great. Clean, easy communication, and everything works great. Also really nice place on the lake that is significantly less crowded than most of Lanier.

This property completely exceeded our expectations from the moment we arrived. The home itself is stunning and beautifully appointed with everything you could possibly need for a perfect getaway.The amenities are truly top-notch. We spent hours on the paddle boards exploring the lake, and the dock made launching them a breeze. Evenings on the dock watching the sunset were unforgettable. The Blackstone griddle was a game-changer. We cooked epic breakfasts every morning and never wanted to leave.The lakefront setting is peaceful and gorgeous, and the home has that rare quality of feeling both luxurious and completely comfortable. Whether you’re looking for adventure on the water or just a relaxing retreat, this place delivers on all fronts.

Amazing location, great house and amenities. The view and access to the lake, available fishing gear, kayaks and SUPs - all this contributed to a great summer Family stay. Communication with Lee was flawless, courteous and always diligent. 5 stars place.

Amazing stay on Lake Lanier

This was an excellent stay on Lake Lanier. The property is exactly as described. There was plenty of room for our group of 4 adults and 2 kids. The kitchen is well equipped, and the entire house was comfortable. Lee was a very responsive and helpful host. Highly recommended!

the house was beautiful and great for our family trip but unfortunately the lower AC stopped working the first night then the upper AC started to struggle to next day. When the inside temperature read 79, I let Lee know. He was responsive and had someone replace the filter and move the dock in as it was detached (had to walk in the water) to get to the dock. Unfortunately the AC unit had to be replaced so was a bit stressed as my 88 year old parents were with us and we had to rearrange to sleep in the main area on the couch and floor. I hope the unit was replaced as it’s going to be a hot summer.

Sonya - Very sorry about the HVAC challenges during your stay, but glad it was a good stay otherwise for you guys. And good news to share - we went ahead and had both units replaced with top-of-the-line Carrier units so there won’t be any HVAC issues for guests moving forward. Hope to have you guys back to check them out! 🙂
