Never have we EVER stayed in a rental home more accommodating. This rental had everything we could need, and then went further to surprise us with things we wouldn't have ever hoped to find. They have all sorts of fun waters toys to make playing on the lake more fun. They had disposable toothbrushes and razors at each sink, in case anyone forgot. There were earplugs and eye masks by each bedside. Truly, they have thought of every detail, and were so very friendly to communicate. If we EVER find ourselves in the area again, we will definitely be looking this property up! I usually do the booking for my family trips, and this one had every single family member telling me how exceptional this property is, and how I had better make sure to leave Ms Wendy a very high review. We couldn't recommend this property more. You will not be disappointed.

This house had a beautiful view of the lake from the large back deck & lower screened in porch. Neighborhood was nice. The host was very quick & kind to answer any inquiries & was accommodating. There were niceties in the bathroom, if you forgot something, which was a nice touch. The kitchen was well stocked with plates, glasses, cookware, etc. Nice older home, still in process of some updates, but that did not affect our stay.A bit steep walk to get to dock, but doable.

About the host

Hosted by Wendy Brand

Host profile image
I grew up in Atlanta and love hosting and making new friends along the way. I'm a Berry College alum majoring in Education and Psychology, with a Master's degree from North Georgia College & University in Education, Interrelated Education, and Psychology. I enjoy my 'kids' of 22 & 20, I have a habit of keeping the sidewalks down around towns due to miles & miles of running every morning, reading, learning about others & building relationships, cooking and playing piano. My newest addition is Pelotoning and kinda thinking one is needed at the lakehouse!

Why they chose this property

Born & raised in Atlanta comes with a love and admiration for Lake Lanier & its intriguing history, as well as the North Georgia Mountains. When I was a child, my grandma would tell me interesting stories of the beginnings of Lake Lanier and loved everything she shared with me. As a native Atlantan, I enjoy the comforts and memories of Lake Lanier and hope you will also.

What makes this property unique

One of my favorites is the view overlooking the beautiful trees and lake. It brings a sense of calm and peace on beautiful mornings and evenings. Another favorite is the storybook feel it has outside as well as inside. And finally, the openness of my lakehouse with windows along the back gives the feeling of peace, harmony and comfort. There are many more unique opportunities to find at Lake Lanier Getaway.
