Fell short of expectations
The property does not properly sleep the amount of people advertised. Listed to sleep 8 and we had 7 but one of the accommodations was a couch. This was disappointing. There was spider webs in every room, dead roaches in master bedroom and hair on the floor in master bath.

Quaint Cottage w/Water Access
I waited too late to find a place to stay for Thanksgiving, but as it so happens, that allowed me to find this cabin. Since it was Thanksgiving/November, we weren't interested in using the dock, but we did walk down to it and it was quite far. The parking is a little tight if you park next to the garage, but if you park in front of the garage, it's on an incline and you may stick out into the street depending on the size of your vehicle. The steps to the front door can be slick with moss, so be sure to use the handrail. There were a few dead bugs and spider webs throughout the cabin, but for it's location and not being steadily lived in, I can't really fault that and it didn't bother me too much. While there are a lot of towels, there were only a handful of washcloths, you may want to bring some with you. The steps to the second floor were steep and slightly uneven, again, just use the handrail. Speaking of, instead of there being one continuous handrail, there were several handrails all at different angles. Just odd. All in all, I really enjoyed my stay. It was a great place to unwind at the end of the day.

Wonderful stay
First of all the house is stunning. Loved all the finishes they were just so pretty. We loved the location on the lake. Due to time restraints we were unable to use the lake. But would love to return for a longer stay. We loved all the space in house, everyone had their own room and bathroom to use. Owner was in contact and awesome. We would highly recommend this home as a must visit!

The rental was just as described in the posting, the place was very clean, and very well stocked with utensils, and linens needed, the neighborhood was very quiet. The listing was not exaggerated. It is a short walk to the lake, but the view is worth it.

Cumming, GA - Birthday Trip
Beautiful lake cottage on Lake Lanier! This was a wonderful place to stay. The lake cottage had a quaint, rustic charm and the overall “feel” of the place was peaceful and relaxing. Everything was as described, and the lake cottage was well-appointed. Beds were comfortable and everyone was happy to have a queen bed to sleep in. It was great to have a kitchen and washer/dryer for laundry during our stay. Also, Wayne was kind to provide access to the dock for a boat and had a kayak and paddle board available for us to use. Highly recommend! Thank you for a lovely vacation experience. It made this birthday trip memorable!

Great little cottage
This little cottage felt like my family’s summer cottage on the bay in Maryland. If you are looking for a super modern home, this isn’t it. It was a bit of a hodge podge of furniture and décor but had a comfortable homey feel that I can appreciate. It was quiet, clean and had plenty of space for our family. We didn’t cook while we were there so I can’t speak much to the kitchen equipment, aside from the toaster and microwave for quick breakfasts. The laundry room was great to have. We did bring laundry soap from home, but there was some to use if you hadn’t, so that was nice. Upstairs the bedrooms were decent sized. The primary bedroom with the windows all the way across the back of the house was really neat! The only thing I found quite odd, and I was not a fan of, is that the ensuite bathroom is completely open to the bedroom. Zero privacy in that one. All three bathrooms had really nice walk-in showers with benches and toiletries available if you forgot your own. The water pressure and temps were great, which is a big deal after swimming in the lake all day! The use of the dock was awesome. While I know the home is in a very wooded area, the veranda could use a good bit of cleaning up. The owner was very responsive when we reached out to him. While the neighborhood feels remote and is all dirt/gravel roads, it’s also in a convenient location to lots of stores and restaurants. We had a wonderful time here. Overall, I recommend this home for your stay on Lake Lanier.

Weezer Weekend
This is a fun little house on a quiet end of Lake Lanier. We were in town for a Weezer concert at Ameris Bank Amphitheater. The house is in a great location, it has a remote feel, but very close to town. There's a great private dock that holds a kayak, paddle board and a ladder for swimming. The only downside is the walk back up from the dock to the house isn't for the feint of heart, it is a good cardio workout that tests your knees. The owner was great, especially with communication. We would definitely stay there again.

Needs attention!
Could be a lovely property but it is not at present. Furnishings are very dated and dirty. Upstairs bathroom has a horrible entrance design and a tripping hazard which I experienced first hand. Decor is horrible. Porch furniture is filthy. Don’t look under the sleeper sofa! It resembles a Mini van with several kids that has never been cleaned out. This place has potential, just needs attention. Would not recommend in its present state.

Wayne was so incredibly accommodating to us. He was open to early check-in if no guests were there the day before, allowed us use of the dock, to dock our boat and had everything you could need in the house. Really fun weekend!
