Family get away

The house is great for a bigger family. Very comfortable and lots of space to spread out. The online pictures were pretty accurate of the property. The host was easy to contact and answered questions quickly. The location was a bit off the beaten path but worked for us.

Great getaway on Lake Lanier

We really enjoyed our stay here with a mix of adults and children ranging from 15 months to 11 years; great views of Lake Lanier from all over the house, nice kitchen, awesome living room + dining room area. The master bedroom is HUGE and super comfortable, and it was great having bathrooms on all 3 levels of the house. The basement was a hit with the kids, and the house is only 10 mins from a brand new Publix, which was super convenient. We really appreciated the super responsive communication from the hosts, and the super easy checkout process (no cleaning to worry about, no fuss). Great place from which to enjoy Lake Lanier and the Gainseville area!

Peaceful Relaxation

The property was beautiful and well-kept even for the short period of time that we stayed. It felt like home and was very relaxing. We have added this property to our list of favorites when we need to get away again we hope that it’s available five star all the way.

Charming

Home has a perfect layout for family gathering. Well stocked kitchen. No way swimming was possible from property. And no useable outdoor grill. But close to Olympic Park which has a small public beach and swim area. Paige was wonderful to work with and quickly responsive.

Family weekend

Cute cottage, kitchen not well equipped, not enough to want to stay in and cook. Decor needs significant updating. The aerial photo leads the renter to believe that the water is user friendly, but it is so far at the end of the slew that getting in the water is out of the question. It was disappointing.

The property was nice and the house was kept neat. The downstairs of the house was extremely dusty. The lights had cob webs and deep dust in the glass, baseboards and kitchen was dirty. It actually was gross. We contacted Paige and she got someone out to dust the lamps the next day. She was very kind. I sent pictures because we were leaving the next day and Paige responded that she had the cleaners out for a deep cleaning.

Winter Stay-- accommodation for 11 adults

Stayed at the property the last week of December, we were a large group of 11. Overall the property is well kept, loved the back yard view of the woods and lake and the panoramic windows through the house and the fire pit. The house also had steps into the woods and a walking trail to the lake. The house accommodates 12, however, if your traveling in the colder months make a note that the basement floor that accommodates 5 beds and a full bathroom is very COLD and no heat is available (the ceiling has a vent but no thermostat and this was confirmed after reaching out to the host who was very pleasant and responsive.) Overall the house felt clean and welcoming with the exception of the bathroom showers- all the showers in the house were not properly clean before our arrival- we were surprise considering the overall bathrooms were clean and beautiful (clearly the cleaning person skipped washing the showers). The host was fabulous to work with and I would stay again considering the time of the year and if I need to use the bottom basement beds.

Lake Lanier Christmas Gathering

We had a very delightful stay and Paige was an exceptional host. The home is roomy and well laid out with two large bathrooms plus a 1/2 bath on the ground floor. The kitchen was also well laid out with plenty of storage. We will be back in the future.

STAYCATION!

We had the best relaxing staycation ever! Our home is in process of being sold, so we needed a home away from home. this pretty cottage on the lake is just that, pretty, quiet peaceful, all I heard is the birds chirping early mornings. we did not get to use the dock, it was cloudy and off and on rain. I am cook at heart and the only things I wish the home had was more pots, more cooking utensils as wooden spoons for cooking, placemats for their glass beautiful table. Beds were amazing I never sleep in, but family slept in until 11am. We will be back my 17 year old daughter who always has something to do with friends, said she had the best relaxing weekend ever. SHE WAS READY FOR 1st day of school now. walk to lake is pretty steep, launching your own Kayak, Paddle board is bit tricky, but it can be done just be careful. overall we ENJOYED every minute. thank you to the hosts the home is dreamy.

Small slice of paradise.

I couldn’t have asked for more with this house. Such a beautiful home on some incredible land. Paige was so wonderful to work with as well. I would highly recommend staying either here, just so long as it’s not the same week I want to come back. Thank you!!
