Property manager, Geri, was hospitable, communicated with us as often needed and was very accommodating. Property was spacious and lake view relaxing. I highly recommend this property for your next vacation. ##### Jameka B. Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Susan S.

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! ##### Susan S. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Susanne R. Sep 11, 2023 Liked: Check-in, communication, location #### Lake Lanier The house had multiple spaces for sleeping arrangements for family groups with children. The pool was a big hit with the younger kids. The boat dock was able to fit a rented tritoon. Lake is great! ##### Susanne R. Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kimberly O. Jul 8, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Family vacay 2024 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! ##### Kimberly O.

Mar 17, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location Disliked: Listing accuracy #### A Retreat Feel This house is definitely a home away from home! So serene and comfortable. The owner thought of everything and truly make you want to stay there forever. The house is listed as 7 bedrooms but it is only 5 bedrooms. The loft should not be considered a bedroom nor the closet that has beds in it. All in all, I would go back. ##### Monica G. Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Aug 22, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Friend Meetup at the lake Great location, and a big house. We had all adults, so some sleeping arrangements were a tad tight, but totally comfortable. Some great rooms for families with kids as well. Deck and lower patio off the back of the home are GREAT views and very comfortable most of the day (sun rises at the front of the house). Location on the lake is convenient to a few marinas for boat rental. 2 kitchens is super helpful, and there are LOTS of kitchen tools. Host is very responsive and quick to help with any questions or issues. 3 private rooms, 1 semi-private room (would be great for family with young kids) and one bunk room, as well as some couch (sleeper) and floor space. Overall a very pleasant experience - some projects ongoing, would be happy to visit again and see some of the results! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Karen P., Coppell, TX Jul 29, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Nice Getaway We rented this place because of all the amenities listed to keep the kids happy. The kayaks were the biggest hit, along with the huge water float, the pool, piano, pool table and popcorn maker. This place has every gadget you can imagine. I also appreciated that the owner supplied things like paper towels and napkins and garbage bags and spices galore for cooking. If you are older (I am 76) and have trouble walking, you might find the walk down to the dock challenging. The kids did just fine. The stairs up or down inside the house are steep, so I only navigated those once a day and stayed on the main floor. We also had deer walking down the road and feeding at the house across the street, and in the morning, coffee on the upper deck allowed you to watch the bird activity. ##### Karen P.

Jun 12, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lake house stay 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. ##### Matt G. Stayed 6 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Martin M.

Jul 6, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Fourth of July Getaway 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. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/eb696295-161c-45e8-9d22-5d3f5c86be51-1751774336906.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/bcb9ef50-0a2f-4b9b-8e80-957c594a15df-1751774349743.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/557f0bec-8e00-4ca2-8a01-d8a84d584805-1751774349711.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Leah C.
