Great Lake Home

The property was very clean and accommodated our families. We were in town for a soccer showcase tournament and really were there to put our heads to bed. The neighborhood is quiet and nice. Location-wise, this was perfect and only 20 minutes to the fields we were playing on. Whoever rented previously left dishes in the washer and never ran it, so they were disgusting, but not a reflection of the owner. Sometimes people just forget to press wash. The railing on the back deck is quite loose and I would not trust it if you had little ones running around but this was not an issue for us with older kids plus it is winter, and weather was too cold to be outside enjoying the lake.

Lake View

As a frequent vacation renter, I have stayed at properties that were not as posted. There are a few things that a renter prefers, the property is as posted, and clean. This property actually better than the photos in the post, it is clean, a great view, nicely decorated, the post said you may see Deer, and there was Deer, We go to Ga. quite often and depending on availability would DEFINITELY stay here again, some of the requests were to remove the sheet's and put them in the Laundry room, some people may have a problem with that, I do not, it tells me the owner cares about cleanliness, It was a very nice stay.

Lake House Mini Vacation

The house and lake access were very nice. We enjoyed the open space of the house. Everything was already there, including clean bedrooms and bath, a kitchen with everything needed to cook. I would recommend the lake house to friends and family.

Our family so enjoyed the space to gather, whether on the lake, watching the deer in the back yard, to playing corn hole in the front yard, to plenty of space inside the home to reconnect. Thanks again.

Great Lake House

Came to celebrate a 50th bday with family and had a great time. We have a boat at Port Royale, and it was a 20 min boat ride and dock was in great shape to house my boat for a few days. Great views, good property, fair price for accommodations, and would gladly stay again.

Lakefront Bliss

My husband and I and our 4 adult children and their partners stayed in this gorgeous house with double decker boat dock. The owner was delightful and the house a dream with plenty of room for all! We had other family join us for the day for a small family reunion and had a blast on the lake, lazing on tubes and rafts and a boat ride. We would definitely book this place again!

Great Home

Plenty of room to spread out. Beautiful views. Well equipped. Family stayed together due to a medical emergency with a family member in the hospital nearby. The property is about 15-20 minutes from grocery and restaurants but worth it for the excellent lake location. We enjoyed seeing many deer and wild life from the sun room facing the lake. All around, a very nice property. Our host, Robin, was very responsive and welcoming.

Excellent location and view

A bit of a walk to the water, however that is to be expected at the Lake. Suggest you bring your own ATV as there is a gravel path to the dock. House was perfect for us and the owner was flexible with our dates. Highly recommend.

Very comfortable house and great views inside and out

Just wish we could have gotten the exact address earlier. We were there for a wedding at Legacy Point and it was a 45 mile drive to the event. Buford and Cumming are not close. However the house was great and our grand dog loved every minute. We did love the house and would highly recommend it.

Heaven is definitely closer when you are in a house by the lake

Beautiful place for a memorable family reunion. Afternoon sunsets from the deck, watch the deer stroll by in the morning, or have an afternoon cocktail by the dock. What a great experience! This place is so comfortable and spacious. The kids (and even the pets) also loved it. Simply awesome.

Everything you could ask for

This house was the perfect place to host my husband's 60th birthday. I had family come in from all over and everyone was tickled with the accommodations. The beautiful back deck, the amazing double decker dock, the kayak, the firepit, the grill, the super comfy bed linens! Internet reception was perfect too. I really cannot say enough nice things about this home and would definitely recommend it to everyone I know.

About the host

Hosted by owner/property manager

My earliest and fondest memories are of my adventures living at Lake Lanier. Its where I learned to swim, water ski and many other things. I have lived various places since, have 3-adult children and a grand child. In 2017 I circled back around to the area where I grew up and acquired "Sunset on Lanier". Its my privilege to be able to share this amazing property with you, your friends and family in hopes you gain fond memories as well.

Why they chose this property

I personally enjoy the lake life and I love the vibrancy of Lake Lanier and its proximity to Atlanta .

What makes this property unique

I fell in love with Sunset on Lanier because of the large, deep lot and panoramic view of the lake. We always have deep water and Young Deer Creek is across from Lake Lanier Islands. Cumming itself has a lot to offer with a multitude of restaurants, grocery stores, boat rental etc...
