This home was the perfect place to spend our Christmas holiday! The number of rooms and bathrooms more than accommodated 8 adults. There are multiple decks as well as a two story dock where we could enjoy beautiful views of the lake. The large kitchen was well stocked and the layout was great for multiple chefs. We loved the huge dining table which had more than enough seating for meals and games. One of the highlights was the full bar which opened to a screen porch. Overall, this is a great home with wonderful common areas but many places to escape for some alone time. The owner was super responsive and a pleasure to work with!

Very quiet, private spot on a beautiful39k acre lake. Dock and kayaks were great spots. Spent much more time enjoying the water than we would have at the beach. Comfortable, giant kitchen and dining area perfect for our group. Wet bar restaurant caliber. Rented boats and jet skis, fished. Plenty of chairs inside and out.

Great family lake house vacation!

We can’t say enough about this property and the amazing memories we made with our family! We spent endless hours on the lake and finished our days around the huge dinner table recapping all the fun tubing stories from the day! The house was very clean and well stocked with essentials! The trek up from the lake will give you a good workout for sure but totally doable! We would definitely stay here again! Thank you for helping us make the most amazing memories with our kids!

They also had a ton of toys to play with while on the lake! Kayaks, floats, life jackets, Lilly pads! The stay was extremely comfortable, clean and the hosts were absolutely amazing! This is going to be a yearly vacation that’s for sure! The hosts were extremely responsive, and answered all concerns in a timely manner. This had to be one of the best VRBO experiences I’ve had!

New Year’s Eve vacation

Stayed at the property with a large family group. The house is just as listed. It’s very well spaced out for large parties to spend time together and also have privacy. The neighborhood and the lake were excellent. Quiet and tranquil and just a short drive to town. We loved the deer that would come visit! Would stay here again.

Excellent Property and Host

Great place to stay on Lake Lanier. Location was awesome and the house is perfect for a large group. We had four couples with children ranging from 8mo-4yrs and the house was perfect. The outside spaces and bar area are incredible and the dock was a ton of fun! On top of that, Deb was super great to communicate with and was very helpful in arranging things prior to the stay with the kiddos and recommending places to visit around the lake. Would highly recommend!
