Amazing stay at the property, everything was as described and it exceeded our expectations, my family and I had an amazing time. Crystal it’s an amazing host and answers promptly to all questions and requests. I will definitely book again and stay at this amazing lake house
Our family so enjoyed this beautiful home! The teens loved the bottom floor with the pool table and the game room. We took advantage of the paddle boards every day, with the dock being only a short walk away. Very clean, nicely situated in a quiet neighborhood, and comfy beds!
Lovely lake house!! Lots of room for multiple families! Near waterfalls to hike in the morning and swim and paddle boarding in the afternoon. We enjoyed dinner and great conversations on the porch each evening. Wonderful host!

We appreciate you taking the time to leave us a 5-star review! We're so glad that you and your group had a lovely time at our lakehouse!
We thoroughly enjoyed our girls' weekend. We chose Lake Lanier because if was about the same distance for everyone to travel. The lake house was perfect and definitely suited our needs. The house was remote enough for privacy, yet not far from restaurants, groceries, shopping, etc. We would stay here again! The host was easy to communicate with and check in/out was the easiest ever.

Thank you so much for your 5-star review, Renee! We are so glad you and your friends had a wonderful time at our house and we hope to host you guys again in the future!
The home is beautiful and spacious enough to accommodate friends and family while we prepared for our wedding at our venue nearby. The hosts put a lot of thought into providing a comfortable and enjoyable experience with all the necessities while you’re there. We were so touched to find they left two bottles of wine for us in celebration of our wedding. We were sad to leave!!

Thank you so much for your review! We're really happy to hear that you had a wonderful wedding and a great time at our lakehouse, congratulations!!
The description for this property does not do it justice. It was absolutely amazing. Plenty of space for our large group, equipped with anything we needed for cooking and preparing meals for several people. The location was perfect for accessing the lake with our boat and also just playing on the dock. The house came with plenty of lake toys for the days we just wanted to hang out. The highlight was Crystal, the property manager. She was very friendly and took care of all our needs and promptly answered any questions we had. My family and I have been renting on Lake Lanier for over 12 years and this was by far the best rental we have experienced. If I could rate it higher, I would. I would highly recommend this rental.
