The main level has 4 bedrooms, each with its own attached bathroom and can sleep 9 people. The master suite comes with a private bath complete with his and her vanities, a separate WC, walk-in shower and soaking tub. The Jack & Jill bedrooms each have their own private sink and toilet area, with shared access to a shower/tub combination. The bunk room comfortably sleeps 3 with a twin-over-full bunk bed and has direct access to the hall bath which includes a walk-in marble tiled shower.

The great room on the terrace level is perfect for entertaining with a large round table that fits 8 - ideal for games, puzzles or a big group dinner - a pool table and TV viewing area. Another full kitchen completes the level. The large balcony off of this floor offers a covered space with an outdoor sectional and lounge chairs, perfect to be closer to the water or have an afternoon drink out of the hot Georgia sun.

It was beautifully decorated and very comfortable. The bedrooms gave everyone their privacy so the early birds never awakened the late owls. We loved the big dining table and huge island. The kitchen was abundantly supplied with everything we needed. Our favorite was the huge deck overlooking the lake where we leisurely enjoyed our morning coffee and early evening conversations. It was a quick trip for groceries or shopping. We made happy memories for 2024! ##### cynthia q.

We couldn't have picked a better house in all of Georgia. As soon as we walked through the front doors and saw the lake through the wall of windows, we knew we were about to experience something amazing. The views are breathtaking! We explored, used the kayak and pedal boat, roasted marshmallows, and watched the glorious sunset daily. The house is massive with tons of space to spread out. We played games, worked on puzzles, watched holiday movies, and cooked giant family meals. We had every kitchen gadget you could ask for. We had a small problem with the sink and the owner drove 2 plus hours to fix it without hesitation. Everything about this stay was perfect! The house is gorgeous, the grounds are well maintained, and the owners went above and beyond in more ways than one for us. Thank you!! ##### Julie L. Stayed 5 nights in Nov 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Bill S. 17 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Some fixes are needed Fridge in main kitchen neither made ice nor kept drinks and ice cream (!) at proper temp. Carrying ice from the working fridge on lower floor got “old” very quickly. Path to dock not easily negotiated by older guests. A rope line down the middle of the steps could help solve it…like rope lines used at golf tournaments. Neither sink in master bedroom held water. Same with sink in bunk bed room. Ryan seemed sympathetic to fridge problem but sympathy did not lead to repair being launched. Despite all of the above we had a good time. It could have been a lot better. ##### Bill S.

Stunning lake views. Everything was as described and shown in the pictures. Ryan, the host, was great! Timely and thorough communications. Answered every question. We even read a prior review that the kayak oars were missing. Mentioned to Ryan and when we checked in a new pair of oars were waiting for us at the front door! Wow! This house is huge and can comfortable accommodate a large family. The fire pit area was perfect for s’mores and family time in the evening.

Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Shena L. 11 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy We had a lovely family trip at this lakefront vacation home. The house itself is clean and spacious, with a large main kitchen and two separate living room areas. This setup was great for our family of 13, as adults could relax in the well-equipped kitchen and main living area while the kids enjoyed the pool table in the downstairs living room. One unexpected plus was that there were more bedrooms than advertised, which gave us extra flexibility for sleeping arrangements. The location is fantastic—just steps from the lake with a convenient boat slip and a paddleboat available, making water activities easy and fun. A kayak was available; however, we were unable to locate the kayak paddle during our stay. The only real downside was ants in the kitchen. While the owner mentioned that the house had been sprayed, the ants persisted throughout our stay. Overall, a comfortable and well-equipped home with a great location. ##### Shena L.

The owners outfitted this house well above other homes I’ve rented. Huge kitchen with 2 dishwashers. Plenty of tv’s and seating for all. Kayaks at the dock and pool table in the lower level. Even 2 laundry rooms. We enjoyed our stay and will rent again. ##### Patrick B.

The house was very spacious for our six families to come from Florida and Ohio to spend a week together. There was so much room and everyone had a chance to relax. The lake is located in a quiet private section, so we were able to rent a pontoon boat for the week and basically have the lake to ourselves for tubing a swimming. We highly recommend this house and really appreciated the owner Ryan for being so kind and helpful! ##### Tiffany R.

Overall, this is a very nice place that has recently been updated, especially the main floor. The upstairs kitchen is WELL stocked with everything you could possibly need on a vacation. If you are bringing two sets of families, you will need to use the kitchen upstairs because the downstairs kitchen isn't equipped yet. I am sure they are still trying to get this handled, because the downstairs kitchen already has a refrigerator and a microwave. The beds, sheets and pillows were divine in the 2 master bedrooms. The sheets were a little scratchy for the other rooms, but the beds slept well and the pillows were great! We travel a lot using VRBO and pillows are usually flat...These were awesome! The master bedroom upstairs had a huge closet but they haven't installed rails or shelving so my dad used the closet in a room we didn't need. Hopefully, they will get this fixed for their next guest. Overall, it is a lovely place that sleeps MANY and I would definitely go back. The owners were very attentive through our stay and answered the deluge of questions I sent which I appreciated! Rent this place and you will not be sorry! ##### Lisa Z.

There were 15 of us ranging from toddlers to grandparents and everyone had a great time and their own room! The home has everything you need for a luxury feel at the lake; the kitchen can't be beat including the massive island and double dishwashers, the bedrooms are all oversized, the double decks means there is room for everyone to enjoy a lake view and the pooltable and TVs kept everyone entertained. The walk down to the dock is extremely short but a little rough so plan to wear shoes. The home is on a quiet but fairly wide cove so we had lots of space to swim and kayak without any boat traffic to watch out for. There is no lawn so plan to use the decks or the dock for outdoor activities which provide plenty of space to hang out. We were able to park 3 cars in front of the garages and 2 on the side pad with out blocking anyone in. The beds are comfortable, the closets huge and bathrooms had ample linenes and towels for a large group and two laundry rooms if you feel like running a load of beach towels while there. Wifi and phone service was great so if you want to stay connected you can. Grocery, gas, dinning are all 6 to 15 mins away depending on what you want so while you feel like you've left the city behind at Water's Edge it's all around the corner when you need it. ##### Michelle T.

It was really well appointed & comfortable. The host was responsive & available should you need anything. The first day we saw a jet ski with young girls having fun. After that, it was just us enjoying the quiet cove by ourselves. The neighbors we saw were very friendly. Would definitely come back & make memories in this wonderful home. ##### Christine I.

The kids as well as the adults we in the water all day. We absolutely loved everything that Lake Lanier had to offer and the house was just perfect. The host was also very attentive and provided us with amazing recommendations for restaurants, nearby activities and boat rental. ##### Robert S. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2022 ---
