Quiet lakeside home

We love this lakeside home. Not a resort or hotel,..a real home! It’s sparkling clean, has an everything-you-need kitchen, nice linens, and beautiful views from every room. It’s easy to feel welcome here with the many nooks, lots of comfortable-cozy furniture, and the puzzles/games/books. The WiFi is great. The hosts are super responsive. We loved it all! My favorite spots were the upstairs and downstairs patios in the early morning. Exactly what we were looking for!

Perfect Lake House

We had the most amazing time at the lake house on Lake Lanier! The highlight of our stay was definitely the fantastic double deck dock. It was the perfect spot to sunbathe, take in the breathtaking views, and easily dock our boat. The convenience of the boat slip access made our boating experience so much more enjoyable. Additionally, the location of the lake house was perfect, just minutes from Pelican Pete's and a variety of other restaurants on the lake. The combination of the great amenities, convenient location, and stunning views made our stay absolutely unforgettable. We can't wait to go back and experience it all over again!

Serene lakehouse

There isn't a better place to stay if you want to visit road atlanta. The house is a 20 minute drive from the track, and it doesn't get much better than coming back to a beautiful lake view and a fantastic dock to wind down on. The house was spotless and wonderfully taken care of. Would recommend to anyone!!

Was an overall nice stay

The owners definitely are wanting to see this place be successful and their dedication shows. However, they should take off they have a hot tub. When that is something you are specifically looking for when vacationing. I would like to not believe I'm getting something that doesn't even exist. The house was lovely. Beds were comfortable and clean. This place has everything you need. It might be a good idea to once or twice a year go through everything in the kitchen and make sure it's cleaned. Since guests are required to clean.They might not be doing their part, unfortunately.

Disappointed

I won’t go into the many issues we had with this property, as I’ve let the owner know and want to give them the opportunity to address them. But I do want to say, there was an overwhelming musty smell. It really affected my husbands allergies and someone who has nose/sinus sensitivities may want to keep this in mind. I was told it would be addressed, but before booking, if I were you, I would get it in writing that it has been.

Great house with everything you need

Staying for a weekend with my 15 year old daughter and 2 of her friends. Enjoyed s’mores by the fire pit with tons of free firewood and birthday cake over looking the lake on the double decker dock. Arranged for a boat to pick us up at the dock for a full day of tubing. Worked off the cake playing ping pong in the basement. This house is biggie than it appears in the pictures and has everything you need! We will be back.
