T-Day fam getaway 2024
This home was amazing!!! We had a 3-day family T-Day celebration with a group of 11 including 5 kiddos under 6. There was plenty of room for everyone. The kitchen had everything needed to support our Thanksgiving feast. Beds and linens were comfortable. The outdoor spaces were spacious and safe for kiddos. The home had so much charm and character. We had an incredible stay 😍

Great find!
The host Stephen was very easy to communicate with and super accommodating. We had a family get together and the house for us perfectly! You are at the lake in the woods so expect spiders.. we swept and sprayed and enjoyed our time with no issues. We used the dock and cove and truly enjoyed how private it was.. truly a great find! We will be back!

Accurate description, good view and plenty of space! Easy communication with the owner. The driveway is very steep as a heads up if it’s rainy or you have a car that doesn’t handle that well - very navigable though!

Most Serene Spot on Lanier
Unreal, memory-making stay here! The location of this home on Lake Lanier has to be one of the BEST options around. We had smooth water and no crowds on the weekdays and weekend. The secluded dock and cove is perfect and safe for kids to swim and your boat to be tied up without getting bashed around. The house is so well-equipped. The owners have gone above and beyond and it means a lot. Sonos sound system throughout the house! Vitamix blender (not a crappy $20 Walmart one)! They didn't skimp on all the tools and fixin's you need to keep a big family happy, fed, and safe, during your stay. We cannot wait to return!

Wedding weekend family stay
This property is spectacular! The Lake House was exactly what me and my family needed for our wedding weekend / getaway retreat. The space is perfect for you to have a nice quiet time with your family. Everything was clean and in excellent conditions. The photos do not do justice to how amazing this house is and feels while you’re staying at it. The Lake House is truly equipped with everything you may need while staying at it and the host is amazing at helping out if you are in need of anything. Definitely the best Vrbo I’ve stayed at!

Family Lake Trip
We had a great trip at this lake property! The house had plenty of room for all generations (ages 14 months - 82!) and plenty of linens/towels were provided. The driveway is very steep, but there was plenty of room for all our cars to fit and the host allowed our grandparents to park in the garage for easy entry to the house. Access to the lake was a little difficult for the youngest and oldest in our crew as there are quite a few uneven steps and the dock is a little wobbly. Once on the dock, there is plenty of sitting room and the water was perfect for swimming or kayaking. The house located at the end of a lake alcove, so you have lots of privacy and no boat traffic. The kitchen was well stocked, there was plenty of seating outside and inside for everyone, and the decks were very spacious. The host was very responsive and answered all of our questions. We had a wonderful time!

Well Stocked Kitchen!
This house was nice and had everything we needed. The kitchen was very well stocked. The house had very comfortable beds. There are plenty of places for people to eat a meal. The only complaint was that the walls and floors are paper thin and we could hear people in other rooms talking as if they were in our room. The floors are very squeaky. But the host was easy to work with and we enjoyed our weekend very much!

Spacious House for Multi-Generational Getaway
Great big house with many rooms and spaces (in and out) to spread out to. Perfect for multi-gen trip! The owner was quick to reply, helpful and considerate. Plenty of beds & the kitchen layout was great for gathering us all. Plus there are some well-appointed decor so it elevates the stay to feel a bit more charming. The house is a little tired in places (cobwebs on windows, kitchen cabinets could be refreshed), and noise travels from the first floor up to the Master Suite. The dock location in the cove is not *great* for swimming. It is however, a fun spot to fish! Overall a lovely accommodation.

Wonderful trip on Lake Lanier!
This is a beautiful house in a quiet neighborhood on the lake. Gorgeous wooded lot, boat dock, tons of space, beautiful kitchen!!! The deck was perfect for corn hole (we brought that with us) and the fire pit was great! We rented a boat and enjoyed having the dock at the house. We would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful Lake House for the Perfect Get Away
House was a beautiful property with just about everything you can ask for! The communication with the host was amazing and I got a response within 15 minutes no matter the time of the day/night. The dock down at the lake was perfect to hang out on and soak up some sunshine! The only down side is parking on the steep driveway is very stressful but the owner worked with us and allows guests to park in the garage! Definitely recommend this property for a peaceful getaway!
