Great Lake Home

The property was very clean and accommodated our families. We were in town for a soccer showcase tournament and really were there to put our heads to bed. The neighborhood is quiet and nice. Location-wise, this was perfect and only 20 minutes to the fields we were playing on. Whoever rented previously left dishes in the washer and never ran it, so they were disgusting, but not a reflection of the owner. Sometimes people just forget to press wash. The railing on the back deck is quite loose and I would not trust it if you had little ones running around but this was not an issue for us with older kids plus it is winter, and weather was too cold to be outside enjoying the lake.

Family vacation

This property has a lot of potential…but needs work ….. The back bedroom and living room had bugs in it and my kids wouldn’t sleep in the room so they slept in front bedroom downstairs. Also finger print marks were on the doors. In the master bedroom only one light bulb worked above the sink out of 4. The TV remote for the cable did not work in master bedroom so we had no TV, back upstairs bedroom had no cable box… and no batteries in remote. The hood above oven was loose and hanging down 1/2 inch. The walk down to the dock needs to be cleared so there are not so many rocks as my daughter fell.

Wonderful family time

The house is spacious, furniture in living room is not very comfortable. There are several sitting areas which is nice to be able to do puzzles or games. Beds were very comfortable and kitchen is well stocked. The path to the lake is very steep, tough for older people as it is slippery with sand, pebbles and leaves. It would be nice if the garage door opened so we could bring in groceries through the garage instead of down the path and up through the living room. The dock is large with a few chairs- the only shade is on the lower portion- we never used the top as it was too hot. Overall we had a great time- a pleasant stay.

Lake View

As a frequent vacation renter, I have stayed at properties that were not as posted. There are a few things that a renter prefers, the property is as posted, and clean. This property actually better than the photos in the post, it is clean, a great view, nicely decorated, the post said you may see Deer, and there was Deer, We go to Ga. quite often and depending on availability would DEFINITELY stay here again, some of the requests were to remove the sheet's and put them in the Laundry room, some people may have a problem with that, I do not, it tells me the owner cares about cleanliness, It was a very nice stay.

Great Home

Plenty of room to spread out. Beautiful views. Well equipped. Family stayed together due to a medical emergency with a family member in the hospital nearby. The property is about 15-20 minutes from grocery and restaurants but worth it for the excellent lake location. We enjoyed seeing many deer and wild life from the sun room facing the lake. All around, a very nice property. Our host, Robin, was very responsive and welcoming.

Beautiful Lake Lanier

This property was on a beautiful part of Lake Lanier. The house was plenty spacious for our two families (4 adults, 2 teens), and we loved the dock area, although the path was steep and could have been better lit (only one working bulb). The dock was great for the boat we rented, but could use some overall TLC. One step on the stairs was about to crack, and I did tell the homeowner about it since it was a safety concern. The dock could have also used some cushions for the outdoor furniture (sofa) and a shade umbrella would have been great (it had an umbrella stand). The swing was nice. We weren’t thrilled about the 5pm check in rule- 3pm would have been so much better so we could have enjoyed the lake on day one. Also the house’s septic system service was scheduled during our visit which made for a very stinky environment when we were getting our exercise outside. The septic service truck also blocked us from leaving the driveway for over an hour. We were told about the septic servicing the evening before, but were led to believe it would be a quick process. Other than those couple of things we had a great time at this lakefront property!

Lakefront Bliss

My husband and I and our 4 adult children and their partners stayed in this gorgeous house with double decker boat dock. The owner was delightful and the house a dream with plenty of room for all! We had other family join us for the day for a small family reunion and had a blast on the lake, lazing on tubes and rafts and a boat ride. We would definitely book this place again!

This property needs TLC

The inside of the property was ok. The beds were comfortable. Appropriately furnished. However , we had to deal with roaches. Dead and alive. I picked up about 6 dead roaches when I arrived And later I killed live ones. The owner did send pest control , but why did this happen to begin with? The front door had vines growing in front of it and my daughter had scissors and cut it back. Again , why? The bushes in front were over grown. It could be so much cuter. The path to the dock was difficult to maneuver. The rocks and tree roots were slippery. There were light bulbs burned out in the lamps and canned lights in the living room I replaced the bulbs in the lamps , but didn’t find any for the canned lighting. The dock lights did not work. The owner did try to explain how to turn them on. We followed instructions , but they never worked. The path was also dimly lit. We used our cell phones. The furniture on the top deck was lacking it was rattan with no cushions. And the glass table top almost fell to the bottom deck. The issues are minor but need to be addressed. My thoughts. I just find for the price I paid this property did not measure up.

Very comfortable house and great views inside and out

Just wish we could have gotten the exact address earlier. We were there for a wedding at Legacy Point and it was a 45 mile drive to the event. Buford and Cumming are not close. However the house was great and our grand dog loved every minute. We did love the house and would highly recommend it.

Great family vacation

Great location on the lake and very nice deep water dock with a huge lot and a ton water front after you walk down the hill from the house. Inside the house was clean and as expected. Spacious common areas and big dinner table to accommodate 11. Outdoor porch was lovely and relaxing. Tons of wildlife on property. The property owner was very easy to talk to, very responsive and accommodating. The driveway will accommodate 4 - 5 cars but would not recommend bringing a trailer/boat, driveway is too steep and curved to maneuver a trailer easily. The owner accommodated us with alternative parking for our trailer. Great experience for a large family gathering that wants to enjoy the lake life in a comfortable home with a very nice dock.

About the host

Hosted by owner/property manager

Host profile image
My earliest and fondest memories are of my adventures living at Lake Lanier. Its where I learned to swim, water ski and many other things. I have lived various places since, have 3-adult children and a grand child. In 2017 I circled back around to the area where I grew up and acquired "Sunset on Lanier". Its my privilege to be able to share this amazing property with you, your friends and family in hopes you gain fond memories as well.

Why they chose this property

I personally enjoy the lake life and I love the vibrancy of Lake Lanier and its proximity to Atlanta .

What makes this property unique

I fell in love with Sunset on Lanier because of the large, deep lot and panoramic view of the lake. We always have deep water and Young Deer Creek is across from Lake Lanier Islands. Cumming itself has a lot to offer with a multitude of restaurants, grocery stores, boat rental etc...

Premier Host

They consistently provide great experiences for their guests
