About the host

Hosted by Deb Kendrick

Host profile image
I live in Peachtree Corners GA and wish I could spend every day at Lake Lanier. But... I have to work! I am learning how to please my guests and appreciate every piece of feedback. I am attentive to your needs and help that I can assist.

Why they chose this property

I love the lake access on the southside where there are so many things to do. The neighborhood is so friendly and flexible, especially if anyone needs to park a boat trailer on the street. No one ever has an issue.

What makes this property unique

My property is one of the first built on Lake Lanier, a quintessential lake shack. We have a lot of the traditional lake house appeal. 2 fireplaces, quirky steps, and of course we have done quite a bit of additions. There are many upgrades huge dining table. I just love it for large family gatherings.
