My wife and two young boys wanted to wind-down (with just the four of us) right after a larger family gathering in the Smokey Mountains on the Tennessee side. We are not familiar with the area, but had heard that there is a large lake outside of Atlanta within a few hours of the Smokies (also heard that it may be the lake where they filmed the Netflix show Ozark).
So we researched places on Lake Lanier. We had some requirements - we needed to be on the lake with a dock because the kids like to fish and kayak, and we wanted to make sure that there was enough for the kids to do so that my wife and I could spend time reading and generally doing nothing.
We could not have found a more perfect place. Between the easy, private access to the lake (with a great two-level dock), the basketball court, the large yard, and the indoor swimming pool, the kids were occupied and we didn’t have to take them anywhere.
The house was clean, well furnished, comfortable, and a ton of fun just to explore. A very unique design indeed - and situated perfectly on a very quiet part of the lake. It was the middle of August and we hardly saw anyone on the lake when kayaking around and exploring the coves.
But most importantly, Kirti was a great host. When booking VRBOs, especially in areas you are not familiar with, communication with the owner is paramount. Kirti was always quick to respond to any questions, concerns, etc., and always helpful.
Ever since COVID, all we have been doing is renting VRBOs in different places so that we can have a change of scenery when working from home and to keep the kids entertained as all of our overseas trips and summer camps were cancelled. So we have been doing this a lot since March and I have to say that this experience was among the best!
Thanks Kirti - if we are ever back down that way, we will be renting your beautiful house again!
