Just what we were looking for. Our original house canceled at the last minute and I think this one was even better. Pool and quick lake access was amazing. House was very nice and clean with plenty of room for everyone. We all had a great time!

Amazing Corporate Retreat!

We had a retreat here for a portion of our leadership team in Jun. it was our highest rated retreat ever - everything about this home was perfect. Meticulous attention to detail on cleanliness, serene surroundings, excellent kitchen/grill setup, and world class beds. We are likely to make this our go-to spot for small group gatherings for our company!

Amazing Place & Time Spent With Family

The home and the area was amazing. Spending most of the time in the pool and Tiki Bar. Several family members spent time fishing and in the kayaks. Plenty of space for all and cooked amazing meals inside and out. Already looking at dates for next year.

Amy and Brooks are incredible hosts! The house and amenities are all created with such thought and care. My family and friends had such an incredible experience and much of that was due to the information Amy shared prior to our visit. Beautiful house - clean - convenient to lake - well stocked - great pool - you name and the house provided it.

Our family enjoyed our stay at The Overlook. Amy and Brooks made sure that we had everything we could need and had great communication before and during the trip. You’ll get your exercise walking to and from the lake, but the fireflies and deer make it worth the walk. A great getaway at Lake Lanier!

This is a well-kept property and provided us, The Family, with all the necessary accoutrements to facilitate our stay. We had a great time and the Hosts, Amy & Brooks, enabled us to enjoy all of the facilities. We certainly enjoyed both the pool and the lake; however, the trek from house to lake proved to be a challenge at times given the distance and height difference.

Hi Al, Thanks so much for your review and kind words. We enjoyed meeting you and hosting your family during your holiday. Regarding the walk to the boat dock, we try to make this as visible and transparent as possible when booking on the website. This allows guests to decide if they want to find a house that is closer. The tradeoff for the 3-4 minute walk is the privacy and seclusion, along with the quality of the house and furnishings! You can always park a car or golf cart at the halfway point, if you would like. Thanks again for choosing our lake house for your family vacation. Amy and Brooks

How lucky that Amy and Brooks have an absolutely spectacular home that they are willing to share. My family of ten had such a wonderful time at this gorgeous home filled with so much to do: the lake, the pool, billiards, table tennis, lots of games, access to television apps without the hassle of signing in personally, and of course the kitchen and outdoor cooking area. Truly the photos do not capture all that there is to do at this fabulous property that is so excellently stocked. The bedding, linens, pillows, towels are all the best quality. The consideration of supplying guests with ample tissue, tp, condiments, trash bags, paper towels, hand soap throughout the house & dish & dishwasher soap make traveling so much easier. The furnishings are beautiful and all of the cozy nooks with rocking chairs are so inviting. Whether you are thinking of a trip for work or for pleasure, you cannot go wrong renting this property.

wonderful getaway

This property was perfect for our family gathering of 9 after a year apart! The pool was wonderful, the spaces for gathering numerous and varied. Amy and Brooks had provided all the essentials and MORE. Only a few made use of the lovely lake and dock but those that did enjoyed it thoroughly. We are certainly contemplating reservations for next year's reunion!

Great Lake Rental Home

My family had our family reunion here and had an incredible time. House was beautiful inside and out and very private. We had the best of both worlds with pool time and lake swimming at their private dock. Highly suggest renting a boat and golf cart to make it easier getting to and from the dock since house sits up high. Owners were very accessible and accommodating. Couldn’t have asked for a better time!

Simply amazing!

What a dreamy place to spend time with family! This stunning home offered us more than we could have hoped for - amazing house with very high end furnishings - truly comfy sofas, chairs, beds. The pool is gorgeous and we spent many happy hours around it. The double dock is perfect - situated in a quiet area and perfect for lounging, fishing, kayaking; paddle boarding, etc. We also loved the lily pad!

Great house!

This was our first time to Lake Lanier, and it was great! The house is beautiful and the owners were amazing. The house is very well-equipped. They thought of everything. We loved having coffee on the screened in porch and also relaxing there at night. Proximity to the lake/dock is good… there is a hill to get there, but we used it as a great way to get our steps in and a little exercise.

3 generation stay at the lake

This was the most well appointed home we have ever rented on the lake. The owners had absolutely everything you could ever think you’d need plus more. Everything- linens, cookware, appliances, furniture…are 5 star top of the line in quality, including the boat house. There is a little walk to the lake and a short cut but it is steep. Communicate with the owners if elderly are in your group but for our 3 generation family, it was beyond perfect and great.
