Family Trip for a Wedding

A group of us stayed at this incredible house (8 adults total) for a family wedding and the house surpassed expectations. The house was laid out really well, the house was fully stocked with everything needed to have a great trip, and the house was located in a beautiful vacation. Unfortunately, it rained our entire trip but any pockets of sunshine and we went for runs around the neighborhood, paddleboarded on the lake, or just hung out in the super comfortable house (full decorated for Christmas, which was lovely!). Couldn't say enough nice things about the stay and for Collins, who was quick to respond and help us make the most of our trip.

Perfect family vacation home

I would definitely stay here again. You will not be disappointed. There are 3 full bathrooms so each family had there own bathroom. More than enough beds. The basement has 2 bedrooms and a full bath, a game room with a ping pong table and about 20 board games, and a large family area with a large TV. The main floor has 3 bedrooms--2 with king beds and one with 2 single beds along with 2 full bathrooms. The house is in a quiet safe neighborhood. When you get up in the morning you can sit outside on the screened in porch and watch the deer came eat in the backyard overlooking the lake. The first morning I saw 5 deer while I was outside praying early in the morning. The house is beautiful! Well thought out floor plan. There is a private deck on the lake. I If it is too cool outside to enjoy the lake, I recommend going to Atlanta an hour drive away to see the Aquarium--the best one in the US. We also went to the zoo and the Coca Cola museum. Also an hour away is the great little town of Helen that is worth your time. It is a german town that also offers a mountain coaster that is very popular. We also drove to the Blue Ridge mountains and apple orchids. There is so much to see and do in the area if you can manage to get away from the beautiful home.

Family Gathering

Opportunity to get the family together, which had not happened for a while. We gathered firewood in the woods, made a fire, had smores and a lot of fun! Enjoyed great dinner in one night (Dump & Bake recipe) and had a riot with Connect-4 game with the 7 yr old ending the night as the champion. Went to Suwanee to watch the kids soccer games and enjoyed an evening dinner at Montaluce Vineyard. Did some retail therapy at the outlet mall followed by Kani's Hibachi dinner. Enjoyed the screened in porch and all home spaces. In all, great memories!

Highly recommend! Fantastic host!

Amazing house in a beautiful neighborhood. I loved the screened in porch for coffee in the mornings and evening hangout. We saw lots of deer, babies, mommas and bucks. Ping pong games were fierce to let off some energy! The dock was a fun place to spend the day, paddle boards, kayak and floats.

About the host

Hosted by Collins Foster

I am a Georgia native who spends 97% of my time watching my daughter play softball, washing softball uniforms, planning softball team meals, and avoiding being asked to manage GameChanger stats at softball tournaments! The other 3% of the time I manage my private practice as a Licensed Master of Social Work and try to sneak away to the lake with my husband, daughter and Labradoodle as much as our schedule allows!

My family has been spending long weekends on Lake Lanier for the past 14 years! It started with renting a boat, then buying a boat, and then we lucked upon Holly Hideaway in the spring of 2021. Until we can make Holly Hideaway our full-time residence, we enjoy sharing our home with guests who have traveled as far as Texas and Oklahoma to spend time in North Georgia!

Why they chose this property

Holly Hideaway is a cozy, yet spacious, home located in the Country Place neighborhood tucked in the back of Chestatee (a separate community) located directly on GA 400, 5 miles north of the North Georgia Premium Outlets. Guests enjoy a quiet, family-friendly lake retreat with a private dock in a low-traffic cove.

What makes this property unique

Guests of Holly Hidaway have access to our private dock, kayak, paddle boards, game room with ping pong table, and several board games for non-stop entertainment! To ensure our guests are comfortable, we deliberately furnished three of the 4 bedrooms with king-size beds. The fourth bedroom and additional bonus room each have two (2) twin XL beds which makes sleeping arrangements easy! Because we are parents, we know how cumbersome traveling with allllll the baby equipment can be. Therefore, we have stocked Holly Hideaway with all the essentials including a Pack n' Play, highchair, walkers, stroller (for walks; not for car rides), and more!
