As advertised, great home, location, amenities, and host.

The house had everything we needed and more to enjoy our time and any activities we planned. House was cleaned and organized. Well stocked for grilling and cooking. Games for kids and adults. Could have stayed much longer.

A beautiful getaway on the lake

We had an amazing time. The house was clean and spacious and the neighborhood was beautiful. I loved that it was so close to the supermarket. There was plenty to do at the house for the five kids. Lots of fishing and kayaking. The dogs loved the long walks. Mrs. Wendy was very kind and accommodating when we had to switch our travel plans right before. She was one of the sweetest hosts we’ve encountered. I would love to come back with just me and hubby one time to relax a little more but we enjoyed ourselves with the kids. I highly recommend this rental!

Couples getaway

We really enjoyed our stay at The Lake House. The home is very cozy, warm, welcoming, clean, very well stocked. The peacefulness and quietness of the neighborhood is just phenomenal, you hear the birds and the wind trough the trees. The view is phenomenal!! The owner is very attentive, she is reachable and very sweet. The special little touches around the home makes you feel at home, away from home-coffee, sugar, teas, spices, aromatherapy (doTerra oil diffuser). We had such an amazing time that we extended our stay..:)) Highly recommend!!

Satisfied both wife and Husband

My family and I loved the place. It was clean and fun. We wished we could have stayed longer. My husband loved fishing and there was a shopping center near there so I did my shopping while my husband fished. Perfect spot for our family.

The house is spacious and well-maintained. We had everything we needed to start our family vacation. There were lots of water toys to keep us entertained and plenty of space at the dock for our 2 jet skis. Wendy is a fantastic host and always answered our questions right away. The house is on a steep hill, so the trek to the lake was too much for my father in law, but everyone else really enjoyed it.

Truly a cozy lake getaway!

The Cozy Lake Lanier Getaway was very well appointed and had everything we needed! Day to day Items were laid out waiting for us along with a special welcome gift bag. The beds were comfortable, and the sheets and bath towels were extremely soft. There were many amenities on the dock that we didn't get a chance to use but nice to know they were there if we had time. Wendy was very nice, responsive and eager to please. We would love to return sometime.

About the host

Hosted by Wendy Brand

Host profile image
I grew up in Atlanta and love hosting and making new friends along the way. I'm a Berry College alum majoring in Education and Psychology, with a Master's degree from North Georgia College & University in Education, Interrelated Education, and Psychology. I enjoy my 'kids' of 22 & 20, I have a habit of keeping the sidewalks down around towns due to miles & miles of running every morning, reading, learning about others & building relationships, cooking and playing piano. My newest addition is Pelotoning and kinda thinking one is needed at the lakehouse!

Why they chose this property

Born & raised in Atlanta comes with a love and admiration for Lake Lanier & its intriguing history, as well as the North Georgia Mountains. When I was a child, my grandma would tell me interesting stories of the beginnings of Lake Lanier and loved everything she shared with me. As a native Atlantan, I enjoy the comforts and memories of Lake Lanier and hope you will also.

What makes this property unique

One of my favorites is the view overlooking the beautiful trees and lake. It brings a sense of calm and peace on beautiful mornings and evenings. Another favorite is the storybook feel it has outside as well as inside. And finally, the openness of my lakehouse with windows along the back gives the feeling of peace, harmony and comfort. There are many more unique opportunities to find at Lake Lanier Getaway.
