We hope it will be yours!!The house sits on a gentle slope to the lake with a view from both the sun porch and outside deck.

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.

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.

Loved the beauty of the outside surroundings. The trees with the peeking of the sunlight and water rippling thru. Beautiful !

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.

This is one of the best cabin trips we’ve been on. A lot of water activities to do, the double deck is a perfect place to chill. House is comfortable, spacious and very clean. Host Dorothy, is super nice and will respond to questions very fast.
