Spring break

Daughters family stayed with me. We hiked in several state parks and ate in nice restaurants, also fished off the dock and made s’mores in the fire pit. We called it ‘a reset’ after a stressful year.

Just as described

We had a wonderful time! The house was just as described. The beds were comfortable and there was plenty of room for all of us. The kitchen had everything we needed, with the exception of the toaster that did not work. This property is a great location for a restful and fun getaway.

Relaxing Birthday

This property was awesome. We were looking for a place to relax for the weekend. The only thing we noticed was that there was box tape on the walls. Seems that there was a party by a previous renter. It was in plain sight so it could have been cleaned up. Otherwise, it was perfect!

Great home away from home

Beautiful setting on Lake Lanier in a quiet neighborhood. The house was perfect for us with lots of outdoor space. Would definitely stay here again if in the area. Tera is a great host!

Beautiful Lake Property

Had a large group that this house fit us perfectly. Fantastic lake access for swimming which was our main vacation goal. Quiet and close to grocery store and pizza. Long driveway for parking for multiple cars but just steep at the very end.
