Beautiful home on the lake! Very spacious to spread out and all the comforts of home. Beds and bedding were wonderful, and all the TVs had Apple TV ready to go so you can tune in to your favorite shows. Host was easy to contact and prompt to respond. Would definitely stay here again if in the area.

Melissa, thank you for the kind review!! So happy you enjoyed!
We loved our stay so much that no one wanted to leave. The house was spacious with all the needed kitchen items and toiletries. The beds were comfortable. The walk to the lake was easy. The dock was everyone's favorite place. We loved having access to the paddle boards and the steps into the lake made it easy to swim especially for our dog. We brought our boat. The location affords easy access to Lake Lanier Islands and other restaurants.

Absolutely the best. The home is attractive, well located, beautifully decorated, and homey in the best sense of the word. There is something for everyone to do including paddle boards & kayaks in the lake just outside the back door, and many games. We loved it.

Dawn, thanks for the review! I am so glad to hear that you loved Blue Lagoon and all that comes with it! Please visit us again soon!
The amenities at this house are perfect for families. We brought our boat and spent the week on the water. The owners were very helpful with any questions and making recommendations. We will be back.
The house was beautiful. Location was great. We brought our boat and the Public landing was just across from the house. Very easy. The house and property was true to the pictures and description. It was fully stocked with everything we needed. We had a relaxing time. Would recommend to everyone.

The property exceeded our expectations. The pictures truly don’t do the property justice, it was very well designed & thought out. It was very comfortable & well stocked with all the essentials you would ever need.
The communication with the owners was also great, they were on top of everything & very attentive.
We will definitely be back the next time we are looking for a quick getaway.

Thank you for the wonderful review! You were our very first guests and we are so grateful you took a chance on us. We would love to have you back any time!
We so enjoyed our stay at the Blue Lagoon and highly recommend it to anyone considering a Lake Lanier vacation. It is beautifully decorated and a perfect home base as we navigated a week of daily baseball tournaments all around the Atlanta area. It was a great location to unwind and keep the boys off their phones as they enjoyed fishing off the dock, kayaking and paddle boarding not to mention the rope swing they discovered across the cove. The owners were wonderful to work with as well with exceptional communication through out our stay. The kitchen was also very well appointed which the moms truly appreciated! Thank you for sharing this lovely home!

Thanks, Tara! We're so glad everyone enjoyed their stay at the Blue Lagoon and made the most of the amenities. It’s great to hear our home was a relaxing spot between your busy schedule. We'd love to host you again anytime!
Listing was accurate. Very quiet neighborhood and No Wake Cove. Loved the woods down to the docks which provided much desired shade and breezes off the water. Everybody loved the beds and sheets! Sound system was off the charts, even down at the dock. Everyone enjoyed kayaking, paddle boards, and swimming right from the dock. The host was very responsive and accommodating. We have a family of 7 adults and had plenty of room. Would highly recommend this property!
This is a remarkable property for all occasions! I was lucky enough to be here for Thanksgiving and to celebrate a 65th birthday with my family of 6. The kitchen was extremely well equipped, appliances were updated and the entire property was extremely clean and comfortable. Tons of sitting areas so we all felt together but never on top of one another. The Sonos sound system worked flawlessly and allowed us to listen to music in any room of the house and on the dock. We had beautiful weather and really enjoyed the outdoor sitting areas and swinging down by the water. As an added plus, there were tons of hangers in all the closets, the mattresses and sheets were luxurious and the white noise machines allowed for great sleep all around. Would absolutely stay here again!
From the moment I became interested in this property to celebrate my birthday and had a few questions, the host immediately replied. Communication was exceptional and it put my mind and nervous energy at ease because this was the first time I personally booked a stay.
Upon arrival, the property was spotless and smelled great. Immaculate is an understatement! Everything you need is in this home: games, essential TV apps, kitchen accessories, peace, quiet, and love. We were able to prepare brunch and literally had everything we needed, cookware, serving utensils, even seasonings.
If you need to relax, this is the place to be. If you need to spend quality time with family or friends, this is the place to be. If you want to get away from reality for a few days, this is the place to be. There is literally something to do for everyone. Because it rained, we did not get to use the outdoor fireplace but that's okay, it just means we need to visit again. The only downfall for me was that my friends and I had to leave. Bottom line, I highly recommend!
Exceeded our Expectations with Amazing Attention to Detail!
Great property for our family with our three married children, their spouses and our babygranddaughter. The location on the lake was great with an open view to a large inlet, and the dock provided a great place for us to moor our tri-toon for the duration of our stay. The house has been totally updated and was tactfully decorated and modern. Everything was of very high quality - TVs, sound system, inside and outdoor furniture, and appliances. The kitchen was small but was very well stocked with everything we could want. The beds were all very comfortable and included very high quality bedding. We used the upper deck extensively, and really appreciated the gate that allowed our dogs to be contained. The deck umbrella was great; of very high quality like everything else! Check-in was easy, and I appreciated the way Britta checked-in via VRBO messaging just to make sure everything was good. We've rented houses for the past several years with our family as well as with friends, and this absolutely the house with the greatest attention to detail of them all - everything was super nice, in great condition and super clean. While we had zero problems during our stay, it was clear that if anything had come up, it would have been addressed immediately. Can't say enough great things about this property. We will absolutely rent again if we come back to Lake Lanier!
This house was just perfect to spend Thanksgiving with my family. Everything looks exactly like pictures and well decorated and organized! Britta was sweet and good at communicating. Highly recommend.
We absolutely loved our weekend. The home is just lovely, so welcoming and cozy. The homeowners are kind, responsive and eager to make your visit as comfortable as possible. The property is well appointed and the view is beautiful. We will definitely visit this home away from home again.

A beautiful serene home on the lake with upscale furnishings and lots of living space both indoors and out. We hated to leave and already plan to be back next year. The hostess was very quick to communicate with us.
