Perfect Father/Son Lake Weekend!

Bottom line, this house was fantastic for a father/son long lake weekend - it's got everything we needed for a comfortable and adventure-filled stay with no need to bounce back/forth to get groceries, etc. (Instacart delivers!) Coming from Milton, this spot was <30 minutes away. The double-decker dock is brand new and in great shape - the Polywood furniture for the sunny top and the shaded bottom was great as was the top-level sun shade; my boys used the kayaks and inflatable tubes all weekend. The kitchen had everything needed for cooking unless you use specific spices, and the house had brand-new Roku TVs that were easy to use as well as an older Xbox for the boys. There are really nice touches: umbrellas on the deck covering the dining area and the grill (two full propane tanks were provided); flashlights and lanterns for evening trips to the dock; a new portable Bluetooth speaker for the lake/deck; a large deck cooler to keep the inside refrigerator for only food, etc.; access to a STIHL electric leaf blower upon request to the owner; washer/dryer that is Speed Queen (i.e., FAST washing and drying) if needed; and all the paper products and cleaning supplies I needed. The enclosed porch was great to enjoy - be sure to crank open the windows to let in a cool morning or evening breeze off the lake. The owners communicated quickly when I had questions, and I will definitely book again as it really simplified how much stuff you have to bring.

Pleasant hosts and nice location but the property needs maintenance

I selected this location because it is close in proximity to Atlanta, GA (50 minutes) and it is also located on Lake Lanier. Another plus is that local grocery shopping and restaurants are only 10 minutes away. Upon arrival, I immediately noticed that the AC was not functioning properly, and the house had a musty/moldy smell. I contacted the Dorothy the next morning because the humidity levels in the house felt extremely high (basically the ac was cooling but not taking the humidity out of the air). Her husband provided two dehumidifiers by lunchtime which helped tremendously but had to be regularly emptied for the course of our remaining four days. Apparently, the problem with the AC was a longstanding problem and a dehumidifier unit (to be integrated into the AC system) was actually delivered the week we were staying in the house. If I had been aware of this problem, I would have never rented the house. Other items to note: Stairs going into the master suite were awkward and did not appear to be up to code, Roku on various TV's did not regularly work and the one in the room with the bunk beds never worked. Overall being on the lake is what saved our vacation. Kayaks were available for use and provided for a fun experience. The walk to the dock was a little longer than I expected and some of the deck boards are rotted and need replacing. The host provided beanie wafers and a bottle of wine which was a nice touch.

Perfect location for family vacation and boating

This was our second time at this property and we loved our stay there - position on the lake and boat dock for our boat is fabulous and the house comfortable and well supplied. My husband and I had the suite on the lower floor and our grandchildren and their parents had the first floor which worked well. I recommend this property.

Relaxing.

The property was located in a perfect spot. We did enjoy the lake. It rained much of the time. The bushes in the driveway were very overgrown. My husband worried about scratches in his new car. The other negative comments would be how there was too many of owners items everywhere. We could barely fit our clothes or bathroom items or kitchen supplies. It seamed like we were imposing on a family’s vacation. I understand the pollen was highly active this time of year, but the outside dwellings were dirty. It just seemed that someone would’ve gone that day to clean and sweep things off. It wasn’t very welcoming! We appreciate you sharing your home. Just expressing my personal thoughts.

Memorial tribute

Had a family memorial on the 1 yr passing of my wife of 55yrs & stayed here 4 wonderful days. Dorothy was extremely sensitive to our ceremony by providing additional leeway in areas not normally given - check in & check out.Very responsive to any questions. The home is stocked with EVERYTHING you’d find in any normal home, it has a real comfortable & relaxing feel to it both indoors, the outdoor fire pit area & the double decker boat dock.All type of instructions are available as to using electronics etc etc. plus everything works as they should. This is a REALLY GREAT rental to be considered if you want easy lake access. Dorothy, Thanks for all your courtesy!

Relaxing and restorative

After several months of unrelenting challenges and transitions, our famiky was blessed to spend a long weekend at this property. The abundant trees surrounding the house gave us a feeling of seclusion, but we loved being so close to stores and shopping. Having lake access and the use of kayaks allowed all of us to spend time in and on the water, and we enjoyed relaxing in the sunroom each evening. Dorothy made the check in process seamless and communicated clearly. The only things to be aware of are a tricky front door knob, steep steps downstairs to the master bedroom, and quite a few stairs to the lake with an older ladder off the dock. We felt rested and relaxed after our weekend here!

Absolutely Wonderful!!

We had a wonderful trip with the family for Father’s Day weekend. The house is cozy and perfect, fully equipped and in the best spot on the lake AND sooo close to 400, 53 and all the shopping centers. Everything was wonderful and if that alone wasn’t enough, add to that the owner Dorothy, was so sweet and helpful and accommodating. We will definitely be back, we are all excited to try the new dock when it arrives! Thank you for a wonderful, memorable weekend!!
