    So awesome!!! Everything as described.Gerri was very attentive and quick to help us and respond. She went above and beyond! The beds were all so comfortable and everyone had enough space to move around the view was absolutely breathtaking and not a long walk to the dock. We had three boats with plenty of room! Kitchen has everything and more, plenty of linens, towels and paper goods for the week! We will definitely be back again.. The best visit to Lake Lanier ever!

    We enjoyed our stay very much. The house is spacious and well equipped. The kitchen is stocked with various cookware, tableware and drinkware. There really wasn’t anything we needed that wasn’t there. The linens and towels are of good quality and there are extras of everything, including a good quantity of pool/lake towels. The pool and dock are well supplied with floats of all kinds and life jackets of various sizes. The pool deck, upper dock and both house decks are well furnished with plenty of cushioned seating to enjoy the surrounding area. The lot is the perfect mix of sun and shade. The location on the lake is perfect in a quiet cove with easy access to marinas and on the water restaurants. Geri is a lovely and attentive host. She was very communicative, responsive and informative. We had a really nice with with our family and were able to enjoy the 4th of July fireworks from the deck.

    Overall, the property was well represented by the listing and was fully stocked with everything you may want to enjoy some time at the lake. There are some maintenance issues that need to be addressed but beyond struggles with pool cleanliness they are all manageable. The owner is fantastic and really tries to make sure that everything is set for your visit. She lives right next door and is available it seems like instantaneously. She even messaged us after the visit to ask if we’d left something behind.

    We had a wonderful time at the lake house! Geri was great and made sure we had everything we needed. The dock was amazing with the kayaks and canoe. The teens enjoyed fishing and we rented a boat for some extra fun on the lake. Great house for multiple families!

    First of all I don’t want this to seem to be an attack on the host. As she seems to be a nice person. With that said. Our experience with house was a little well maybe a bit more than a little disappointing. This house is in need of major TLC from professionals. I will give you a few of the issues we ran into. First the HotTub was inoperable. The electrical in the house was well maybe an unqualified person redid the electrical. Lights flickered, switches didn’t control anything, lights on ceiling fans wouldn’t come on, but the most scary problem is that in a closet was exposed wires. That is just to name a couple of electrical issue we ran into. Then there was the garbage disposal that didn’t work and the sink leaked a lot. The decking around pool and deck needs bunch of attention. Rot is most of the issue. Even to the point I stepped on a step heading to the pool and the board snapped through. The upstairs AC in the afternoons couldn’t keep up to keep the house cool. Climbed to a comfortable 76 degrees if that is what you like on a hot summer day. The entire house is in need of a pressure washing. It’s really bad. The refrigerator upstairs make sure you don’t put much in there it won’t keep it cold. Don’t forget the ice machine doesn’t work either. Despite all the issues we only brought the disposal to the host attention. She asked to put a pot under the sink. Later telling me she would give us a 300.00 credit for that inconvenience. Still waiting on that. Good Luck

    This property was wonderful. Plenty of room for 3 couples, my 23 year old son, and two young grand children. There are various areas for family togetherness as well as space to retreat when necessary:) the location is great. Somewhat remote (in a good way) but close to so many things to do. The dock area and lake were amazing. We watched the Margaritaville fireworks from the 2nd story deck on July 4th and 5th. Everyone enjoyed the hot tub, pool, and well appointed kitchen. Geri, the owner, was very helpful and accessible. True southern hospitality. We would definitely stay again!

    Geri was very responsive to our needs, even buying a new ice cream maker when we couldn't find a part to the one on property.
