My husband and I stayed in this beautiful vrbo for our wedding weekend! It was the perfect place to peacefully relax after all the festivities. We enjoyed the walk down to the lake to enjoy our morning coffee, swam in the pool, had dinner on the patio dining table and made a cozy fire in the evening! The house was secluded and it was a nice romantic getaway! If we are ever back in the area for another long weekend, we will absolutely stay here again.

We really enjoyed our stay. The recent house renovations were done well and the furniture was all very comfortable. Having a pool, grill and screened porch were great bonuses. We didn't use it but there's a great fire pit area and a decent sized yard to play catch/yard games. The path to the dock was a bit longer than expected but not too bad. And being able to fish off the dock and use the kayaks made it worth the walk. The owners were also extremely responsive to the couple questions we had and were very helpful. We'd definitely go back again!

What a Great Lake House! The house is very comfortable and well stocked. We utilized the dock as we brought our boat with us and there are many convenient launch areas around the house…as well as great places to eat on Lake Lanier. The pool area is a great place to relax with friends and family. We highly recommend this house for your next vacation on Lake Lanier!

What a place to unwind! The house was so calming and had the comforts of home. A fantastic yard, front porch, screened in porch. This is a perfect place to relax- take a dip in the pool- then enjoy the evening by the fire pit. Perfect for family or just a quiet getaway. I have to be honest once we got there we had no desire to venture off we just enjoyed the serenity of the home. So secluded but yet convenient to stores and restaurants. I can’t say enough about Julia and her husband. They took care of every detailed and where beyond helpful and hospitable. We are planning a fall trip to stay at their lake house. I could only image how beautiful it will be in the fall.

The house and the property are fantastic for a family and dogs. The house was clean and well equipped with everything we needed. The property has fun pool, a great open grass area to play ,explore in the woods or the trail to the lake, and then the private dock in a quite cove. The home provided a great mix of feeling in the mountains and the ability to jump, fish right on the quite cove off the lake, and we were able to rent a boat near by and easily dock the boat overnight with no issues. I would recommend this amazing home to anyone with family and kids who want to explore and enjoy the Lake. Thank you Julie and Alex for letting us stay!

Her instructions were spot on and there were no issues or hiccups during the stay. The house was very clean and is quite charming. We utilized the pool, the fire pit and the private dock as well. The kayaks provided by the host were a bonus and my teenage son said this was one of his favorite activities on the trip. If you are looking for a beautiful home to relax with multiple amenities, look no further! This is the perfect place! If we ever return to the area, we would love to rent this property again.

The property and house is clean and beautiful. They had fun toys and pool floats for the kids and a nice fire pit. Walking to the lake was a little difficult after it rained because of how steep and muddy it was. Overall, we very much enjoyed the trip!

We stayed 4 nights in this beautiful home in Georgia. We are Georgia residents ourselves and were having some work done to our own home. The owner was very responsive and helpful in assisting us extend our stay an extra night while the workers finished our house. This VRBO was secluded and peaceful! Just what my husband and I needed. The WiFi worked amazing! My husband and I both work remotely and good WiFi is important for us. The home had everything we needed to feel right at home. All appliances, furniture and fixtures were basically brand new! And the owner has the best smelling candles ever! My favorite part of each night was winding down and lighting one of her heavenly candles! I even took a picture of the brand of candle for my own home! Next time we have repairs and need to be out of our own home, I look forward to renting this home and the peacefulness that comes with it!
