Beautiful property
The property and house were beautiful. The host was super nice. There wasn’t a wine opener so he brought us over 2. We had a couple issues. We were unable to use the dock. The furniture was molded and green and there were about 10-15 wasps nests all over the roof of the dock. We are at the lake and couldn’t even use the dock which was the reason you choose to stay on the lake. We were unable to get in the water and use the dock. There were also 2 white chairs in the dining area that are dirty and stained really bad. We had to put towels over them to sit in them.

Nice place and not bad for a short vacation. Owners are easy going and responsive. House is nice and has a dock. Neighbors are chill. Only thing that's missing is a couple more oven trays. But other than that good house.

Great Lakehouse!
We had a great weekend at the Lake Lanier Farmhouse. The house is very comfortable with all the modern amenities you would need. We brought our boat and parking it in the slip was super easy (also the boat ramp is very convenient). The location on Lanier is far from the main busy sections and feels more like a river. Great for spending the day on the water with little to no boat traffic even on a weekend. Great place and would definitely recommend

Beautiful Lakeside Retreat
We stayed here during August with four adults and four kids. We were very comfortable in this modern house with very nice furnishings. The AC was excellent. The house is perfectly situated, with a huge yard leading to the lake. There is an awesome firepit in the backyard, and we roasted marshmallows and made smores, the kids loved it. We took out the paddleboat, and enjoyed the lake. Overall, it was a fantastic stay. I would mention that there are plenty of insects around, and while they didn't bother us, they might bother other people.

Perfect for a lake weekend with friends
Beautiful home, tons of room. only issue was that there were lots of ants; might just be a concern of being near the lake/mountains but could use some support with an exterminator

Very Nice Place
The place overall was fantastic. Lots of TVs beds etc. The protected cove for swimming and boating was phenomenal! Gentle slope to lake! Big backyard for kids to play. The only negatives were the street noise (nothing they can help) and lack of true living room for family gathering.

Farmhouse elegance
We couldn’t have asked for a better rental house. Everything you would want was there and more. Even my grandchildren loved the roominess of the house and outside the fishing was great. The accommodations was great. The owner was great! Best house ever rented on the lake with gentle sloping property. Will definitely stay there again!

Great house on a quiet cove
The house is great. The lake access & dock was on a quiet cove of Lanier with very little boat activity. We were able to relax and have fun.
My only complaint would be the house from the road. The house is directly off a main road.

AMAZING “STAYCATION”
This house is beautiful and just as advertised. The accommodations were top notch and the fact that their were enough bath towels for a small city was proof the owners really thought of everyone. This is exactly what a person thinks of when imagining a “lake” house. Loved it! Will be staying here again- and we just live 20 minutes away and it felt as if we had taken an 8 hour trip to a wonderful destination! 💕 contact with the owner is amazing and so greatly appreciated!
