We had such an amazing time at your property. The house was perfect and had everything we could possibly need, from kitchen essentials to comfy spaces for everyone. The only small challenge was figuring out which light switch controlled what☺️ We hope to visit again soon!

Lanier Family Reunion
Wonderful property and great location and view of Lake Lanier. We had access to two docks on the lake one to keep our boat and the other with kayak, paddle boards and swim ladder. Plenty of parking on the property and even space for our boat trailer (although the drive way is a little steep but manageable). The number of bedrooms and baths easily accommodated our family of 18. The very large main floor kitchen and huge refrigerator was perfect for preparing meals and storing leftovers (the men are all great cooks). The lower level also had a decent kitchen and fridge for extra food and drinks. J, Smith was very welcoming and responsive to our questions and needs (he checked in periodically to assure our stay was enjoyable). Overall we had a great time and even considering we may return in the future.

Perfect for our family vacation
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this lovely vacation home with our adult children and grandchildren. The layout suited us perfectly, the amenities were awesome and J and the property manager were very nice and quick to respond. We rented a boat from a nearby rental company for the whole time we were there, but honestly, we could have just rented it for half the time as the kids and adults had so much fun just enjoying the property!

The Perfect Reunion House
This was the perfect hosting location for the annual reunion of our friends and their ever-expanding family units. With all families having their own bedroom and bathroom, and the close proximity to Atlanta's airport, this was an ideal location. Plus, you can't beat the lakefront location. If you're looking for a place where you can enjoy your time on-site, this is it!

Our group of 14 unrelated women appreciated the balance between plenty of personal space and common areas where we could gather comfortably. The view of the lake was stunning!

There were beds for everyone, great living and dining space, beautiful outdoor grounds, and a well equipped kitchen. The house manager communicated well and helped answer all our questions

"Girls Trip" Reunion/Friends, Daughters & Moms
There were a total of 15 ladies that combined our Girls Trip Reunion for 2023. Our age ranged from 26-36 & 65-70. We have done this "Girls Trip" for several years...But ! This time was the best ! This beautiful Home and Location in Buford made this an awesome trip. Every picture you see is what you can expect. We felt so at home, away from home. The view from the back deck, is to die for. We couldn't stop staring out the doors or windows... We already want to start booking for our next trip... The location of the home, is in range of shopping and eating.... To end my review... I must tell you how wonderful the Property Manager was. J. Smith - was Awesome, from the beginning of me booking this home. He stayed in touch through-out our stay. He made it very easy to contact him as well. All 15 of us can't stop bragging on Everything we experienced. Thanks again, and again for your professionalism on making our stay GREAT ! We'll be back !!!!
