If I were green, and my name was Scrooge, I'd selfishly refrain from writing a review (to keep my new vacay get-away a secret). But alas, neither me nor my thumbs are green. (See suffering foliage). As a customer, I rely on HONEST reviews, so here we go...
We took our family to this home for Thanksgiving. Even though it was chilly (California standards) we still had a marvelous time, in and outdoors. The views around Lake Lanier are breathtaking. This home is very roomy, well kept, clean, comfortable and cozy. It is set in a quiet, treesy locale, but ALSO near major stores, restaurants etc. This home has all the bells and whistles & is definitely NOT your typical bland rental. You will feel HOME away from home.
The owner makes you feel very welcomed, and even provided us welcome basket (of goodies & treats). Warm touches abound. I had a couple other requests that he was so kind and thoughtful to arrange. These positive vibes set the tone for our entire vacay. BUT, I was a little selfish and took the master for me and my husband (although we were also celebrating my mom's bday). I couldn't resist the huge spa like master bath and extra closet space.
There are a lot of trees between this home and the lake, but you still get nice views (and nice nature walks). There is an upper deck w/bbq and lake view as well as a lower patio for entertaining &/or relaxation. You'll love waking to scenic views. If you prefer modern amenities, love entertaining, enjoy cleanliness and QUIET, this place will work for you.
Downstairs is all BONUS! It's a cave haven (good place to stash the men, kids, or the young at heart). It was actually a hit with everyone. We loved that it had a tv, pool table, game table, separate kitchen nook, bed and bath. This level led to the lake and the boat dock. There is a lit path for evening strolls. Since it was chilly November, we kept our strolls in the mornings/afternoons. (If you have little kids or wanderers, be aware that there is easy access to water.)
I believe you can rent the owner's boat. Don't quote me. The private boat dock is a double decker with awesome lake views. Make sure to take some bird chow for the family of swans that will greet you. If you love to boat, fish, swim or just relax. This place is for you. Just please don't book during my chosen week(s). :) That is all. Have fun!
