We had a great stay. We enjoyed the back deck and lake views in the morning were stunning. The owner was wonderful and very helpful. I would highly recommend this place for a relaxing enjoyable stay.
Lanier cove house had everything we wanted. Plenty of accoutrements in every room of the house. Seasonings, mini bars of soap, plenty of towels and TP. The Kayaks were great. Plenty of seating and lighting.

We are so glad that you enjoyed your visit! We certainly enjoyed having you as a guest and we hope you visit again soon 😊
Clean, ideally located lake house on almost private cove, this is the perfect setting for a family vacation. Ample and shaded dock with two kayaks provided. Close to boat rentel facilities. Numerous steps down to dock, typical of area. Owners very flexible and responsive to any questions or needs. Highly recommended!
Beautiful secluded property perfect for relaxing. It was definitely a good workout down to the lake and back. Was a little to steep to take the kayaks down the hill. It would have been nice to have the kayaks stored down by the water.

Hi Marcus, thank you so much for your suggestion. We have since mounted the kayaks on the dock for the ease of our guest. We hope you visit again soon.
Overall a great experience. Direct access to lake lanier was wonderful. 2 kayaks were there and we also fished from the dock. Firepit in yard was used despite temperatures. Home was nice and functional. Accessories such as fusball, ping pong, karaoke and gas firepit did NOT work though. Those were our only disappointment.

Hi Don, I wish you would have told us that some of the amenities were not working so we could have remedied the situation. We appreciate you booking with us and we hope you visit again soon..
We hosted a small group of teens to celebrate a milestone in their lives, the kids played games, made meals, ate as a group, roasted marshmallows and even got up early to watch the sunrise!
The setting was perfect! It was quiet and tranquil. Just far enough away to break teenagers away from their phones.
The house was cozy and neat. The kitchen was well stocked.
We could not have asked for more!
The property was clean and as advertised. Lots of wildlife you could walk to the park behind the property. The entire property is sloped and we were not able to have our annual washers tournament. Maureen was very responsive to any of our inquires and give the overall stay a thumbs up!
Beautiful property and the decor is very nice. The house is well maintained, new deck with plenty of space to sit and enjoy the view of lake. The host, Maureen and her husband were amazing and accommodating. We will defiantly be back. I highly recommend the house.
The house offered plenty of space for everyone. The dock is secluded and easy to access by boat. We rented a pontoon for 3 days. The stairs from the dock to the house are new but steep. It may be difficult for anyone with mobility issues to climb the stairs.
Nice house seen several deer walking around property. It is alot of steps down to the water for a old man. But it's in a canal all by itself. Loved the place.
