This property was exactly what my family needed for our annual lake day. The house fit all 20 of us without feeling crowded. The dock in the secluded cove was well maintained. Renting the golf cart was worth the extra expense. Getting people and all their stuff to and from the dock. Would highly recommend this rental.

A lovely home in a breathtaking setting! The kitchen is incredibly well stocked if you plan to cook. We prepared almost all meals there and found just about everything we needed. Plenty of sleeping space, outdoor sitting and relaxing areas for taking in the view, and close to everything! Avdhesh was a wonderful host; responsive, supportive, and helpful. If you choose this home for your visit to Lake Lanier, you'll find it spacious and comfortable. Not to mention the hot tub and fire pit which were added bonuses that added an extra touch of relaxation! We would absolutely consider a return 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.

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.

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!
