The property is beautiful. The house is beautiful. The kitchen was well-equipped. The pool and hot tub were well used though it took a while to get used to managing the heaters. The cove on Lake Lanier was peaceful and still, and the boat dock was equipped with kayaks and paddle boards. The misty pond with the waterfall was perfect for just relaxing on the wrap-around porch. Missy and Steve were excellent hosts. I hope we have the chance to return.
This property was absolutely gorgeous! The house was well stocked! The indoor pool was a life saver for the first couple of rainy days! The owners were very helpful and even took us on a complimentary boat ride around the lake.The use of the kayaks was a bonus. There are so many wonderful restaurants nearby! We even rented one more night so we did not have to leave. We so enjoyed this time with our family here!
We have stayed at many short-term rentals and The Misty Pond stands out as one of the most impressive! The grounds are breathtaking and beautifully well-maintained. The house was a perfect fit for our family with children as they would end each day playing in the pool while we made dinner. Missy obviously loves this property and allowing others to enjoy it! We give the Misty Pond 11 out of 10 stars!
This property and the host Misty and her husband were wonderful! Friendly and helpful! We had everything we needed. The property was so beautiful and relaxing!! Morning coffee by the waterfall and nature and wildlife was very calming. The walk to the lake was convenient and the kids loved the indoor pool and the fire pit. It was a comfortable and tremendous stay. Everyone enjoyed the paddle boards and kayaks.
We stayed here for my daughter’s wedding. The house was the beat place to enjoy some peace and quiet from the hustle and bustle. The kids played in the pool while the adults played pool or sat and relaxed! Watching the deer while drinking my coffee was the best. We even saw a red fox! Missy and her husband we the best. So friendly and inviting. We would definitely stay here again.
What an amazing time we had with our large family.
We were able to all get together as a family after Christmas for a few days. The property is spacious, clean, and wonderfully appointed. Not to mention, the grounds are absolutely beautiful. It was a wonderful choice for our family and Missy could not have been more responsive to every question we had. Highly, highly recommend Misty Pond.
The property is perfectly located near shopping and lake side entertainment and dining. Steve and Missy are the most incredible hosts and you will not be disappointed!
Our family greatly enjoyed our stay at Missy and Steve’s home. The house and property are beautiful and they did everything to accommodate us. If we go back to Lake Lanier we will be staying at their house again.
My husband and I stayed here with our wedding parties for wedding weekend. Missy was so easy to communicate with and incredibly accommodating! The home was beautiful, clean, and well stocked. We could not have asked for a better experience.
We had the property for a four day weekend with a wedding on Saturday. The kitchen was stocked well for all meals on site. The resort is incredible and provided a beautiful backdrop for the rehearsal, wedding, photos, and a relaxing weekend with friends and family. Guests could arrive via boat and automobile. Highly recommend as an event facility!
The property was beautiful. The home was everything we needed. Our event was perfect. The property managers were helpful and greeted me upon arrival. We enjoyed our stay.
If i could give this 10 stars we would. Simply perfect in every way. Steve and Missy are amazing and made us feel at home from the second we arrived until we departed. The Misty Pond Resort will hold a special place in our hearts forever.
The property is more beautiful in person. The perfect setting for a small intimate family wedding. Missy and Steve were great hosts and always available if we needed anything. My family thoroughly enjoyed all the property had to offer.
PERFECT accommodation for bridal party, wedding party and a family/friends brunch. Several guests told me that this property was the highlight of a wedding weekend that included the Botanical Garden and The Chair Factory! Hosts are beyond gracious!
To quickly summarize, we could not have been more pleased with the resort and accommodations. The house and property are outstanding and the hosts are attentive and gracious. It was a wonderful experience which is highly recommended.
The home was perfect for us as we traveled from Louisiana to attend a family wedding. It exceeded all our expectations plus more. propertyThe host thought of EVERYTHING!!! We were NEVER in need for anything. We enjoyed most the beautiful surrounds, waterfall, nature trail, kayaking and the location. The perfect place to relax and enjoy the company of family and friends. Would highly recommend as we are looking forward to hopefully getting opportunity to go back❤️
Awesome place!!!! Indoor pool was great for rainy days!!!! Plenty of room for everyone to sleep. Owners are really nice and there to help anyway they can. Definitely a 5 star +
The property was simply outstanding. We had plenty of space for everyone to sleep in. It is a great place to relax after a day out. Very calming and quiet surroundings that made relaxing easy for our group. The place is well kept and lives up to all its photos. Highly recommended to others.

About the host
Hosted by Missy Bentz
Steve and Missy Bentz- We are the owner/operators and we live in the carriage house on the property. We had a furniture repair business for 30 years and were ready to retire from having a larger business with employees to doing something with less stress and more fun! We hope to be able to bring peace, restoration, and fun to families and friends at our beautiful Misty Pond Resort.
Why they chose this property
My husband and I fell in love with the property and had to have it! We also wanted to share its beauty with others, so the perfect way to do that was by short-term rentals. We had the idea to make it into a private resort for families and friends to come and enjoy the beauty and peacefulness of nature and of being together having fun! Come and enjoy wildlife, gardens, forest, water activities, and so much more!
What makes this property unique
This is not just a home- it is a resort property packed with things to do such as swimming, kayaking, nature trails, basketball, and much more! We also feel that having us on the property is a benefit because while we give you your privacy we can also be available if you need anything or have any special requests. We try to do little things throughout your stay to make it more special. Never hesitate to let us know how we can make your stay better and memorable so that you will want to come again and again!
