After leaving a perfectly clean house with only laundry left, we were charged for a broken mirror that WE DID NOT BREAK! DO NOT RENT THIS HOUSE. The owner is telling us to request our money from VRBO. Totally scamming them!

What a beautiful home! We stayed here for a holiday weekend. There were 7 adults and 1 child. The house fit us perfectly and there was room for at least 2 more people. The owner is very kind and welcoming. The kitchen was well equipped with everything needed for cooking. The bathrooms had towels as well as shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. Nice touch! The views of the lake were amazing! We used the hot tub as well which was wonderful!I highly recommend this place! Everything is close by and there’s a lot to do in this area! We ventured to Helen and Dahlonega which were both beautiful places to visit. Looking forward to coming back again next year!

Lake Lanier

There was a short walk to the dock. We enjoyed swimming and sunning off the dock. We rented a boat to water ski. We enjoyed cooking out on the upper porch. We had fires in the fire pit and roasted marshmallows which the children enjoyed. We also enjoyed visiting the areas of Atlanta and Gainesville. Lots of shopping and restaurants nearby.

Summer Lake trip

We definitely had an enjoyable stay here. We spent most time down at the dock floating in the lake while some of us took our boat out. The property was large enough for all 9 of us to sleep comfortably.
