Home on Lake

The property Manager was great, we had a problem with the AC and he came to fix it within 30 minutes. No blinds to the window which made it hot during the day, other than that it’s a great property.

Ladies Retreat

We had a group of 14 moms get away for a weekend. The beds were comfortable and we had everything we needed from an equipped kitchen to ample seating and parking. The scenery is beautiful and we would stay here again! We enjoyed an outing to nearby downtown Gainesville to walk the greenway and shop and dine.

Amazing place to stay!

We had such an amazing time at your property. The house was perfect and had everything we could possibly need, from kitchen essentials to comfy spaces for everyone. The only small challenge was figuring out which light switch controlled what☺️ We hope to visit again soon!

Lanier Family Reunion

Wonderful property and great location and view of Lake Lanier. We had access to two docks on the lake one to keep our boat and the other with kayak, paddle boards and swim ladder. Plenty of parking on the property and even space for our boat trailer (although the drive way is a little steep but manageable). The number of bedrooms and baths easily accommodated our family of 18. The very large main floor kitchen and huge refrigerator was perfect for preparing meals and storing leftovers (the men are all great cooks). The lower level also had a decent kitchen and fridge for extra food and drinks. J, Smith was very welcoming and responsive to our questions and needs (he checked in periodically to assure our stay was enjoyable). Overall we had a great time and even considering we may return in the future.

Perfect for our family vacation

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this lovely vacation home with our adult children and grandchildren. The layout suited us perfectly, the amenities were awesome and J and the property manager were very nice and quick to respond. We rented a boat from a nearby rental company for the whole time we were there, but honestly, we could have just rented it for half the time as the kids and adults had so much fun just enjoying the property!

The Perfect Reunion House

This was the perfect hosting location for the annual reunion of our friends and their ever-expanding family units. With all families having their own bedroom and bathroom, and the close proximity to Atlanta's airport, this was an ideal location. Plus, you can't beat the lakefront location. If you're looking for a place where you can enjoy your time on-site, this is it!

Our group of 14 unrelated women appreciated the balance between plenty of personal space and common areas where we could gather comfortably. The view of the lake was stunning! Communication with the owner/property manager couldn't have been better. They were responsive and thorough. Would definitely stay here again!
