Lakefront Modern Cabin with Dock

AlexanderRating, 5 stars1 week ago
What an amazing lake house for a weekend retreat. This house was beautiful and had every amenity we could ask for. A beautiful back deck with a fire pit (they provided wood for fires) & a nice clean grill with a propane tank available. The kitchen also had every thing you would need, we cooked a huge meal each night. The two story dock was perfect for lounging and else even were able to bring our boat and keep it tied to the dock for the weekend when we weren’t using it. You can tell the owners of this home really take pride in it. They spared no expense providing the best in this home from the furniture to the ceiling fans & everything in the kitchen. I highly recommend staying here if you want a high quality place to stay on lake Lanier.

VIP Lake House- March promo! Views, dock, hot tub

KristenRating, 5 stars3 months ago
JD was amazing! He was easy to communicate with and his home was clean and spacious. It was a perfect getaway for my family of nine and our pup. The kitchen and gathering room made it easy to make family meals and have multiple people in the kitchen - cooking and cutting and preparing. The little touches and effort to make guests comfortable were evident throughout the home and I would 100% recommend this spot for a relaxing, fun family trip. The hot tub, dock, multi-level deck, fire pit for s’mores, and surrounding trails and waterfalls made for a great holiday break, and Dahlonega, 15 minutes away, was truly a quaint, beautiful Hallmark town during the holidays. The kids loved the ice cream shop, Fudge Factory, and General Store. Thank you for a wonderful week! We’d love to return during the warmer months to take advantage of the paddle-boarding and kayaks.

Brand New on Toccoa River-Kayakers dream

KristinaRating, 5 stars4 months ago
The place was clean, cozy, and absolutely exceeded our expectations. The photos don’t do it justice! The property was gorgeous and we even got to feed the trout off of the bridge! The hosts checked in on us on our first day to make sure we had everything we needed. If you’re looking to hike, there are plenty of good hikes within 20ish minutes of the place which was super convenient. It was the perfect place for a quiet, peaceful mountain getaway. We loved every minute!

2 master suites ! Easy walk to town River Access

ChrisRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Sherry’s place in Helen was ideal. The view of the river, the ease to access, all what we were hoping for. Comfortable throughout, nice bedding, plenty of towels, and very quiet. Kitchen was well appointed and the refrigerator was, well, next level! The one thing that I will note is, for older folks like myself, a youngish 70, it might be a little longer walk into town then you might want. Doable, but longer than one might think. Overall, an awesome place!!

Happy on the river 2 master suites

TiffanyRating, 5 stars1 month ago
This spot was amazing to stay in and we would absolutely visit again. Close enough to downtown to have fun but far enough away that you felt like you had a private space in the woods. The upstairs swing was pure bliss with a cozy, fluffy blanket on a brisk morning. The only real issue we ran into during our stay was with parking. The garage only fits 2 cars comfortably and we had 3. The person with the most reliable E brake gets the hill! Also, bring your own toiletries. They weren't provided and the local store is a little pricey.
