We enjoyed our stay. Place was nice and clean with beautiful views to the lake. Our only issue was that the door to the host's home leads right into the place and locks on their side, so technically they can come into the rental space anytime they want. Otherwise, we had a great time!
Great location, great pool, great dock, very nicely equipped and very accommodating. Would recommend to anyone. This place has been recently redone it looks like and has very nice amenities.
We so enjoyed our visit! Great communication and suggestions on places to visit. Very nice property with clean pool and beautiful lake views. We would stay again!

Thank you! We appreciate your lovely comments and hope you will come and stay again!
Beautiful location. A feeling of seclusion but close enough to downtown Gainesville. Hosts have thought of everything to make you comfortable. Wonderful stay
We had a great time. The layout of the terrace level we stayed in was perfect and had everything we needed. We kayaked, played in the pool, really enjoyed the Hot Tub and the host were very nice and accommodating. We would definitely stay here again.
Great property, lots of space to rest and relax. Hosts thought of everything to make your stay wonderful. Would definitely stay again in warmer weather so we could enjoy pool and lake.

We appreciate your wonderful comments. We look forward to hosting you again, during warmer weather.
I cannot express how wonderful Lane and Kim were, they truly made the stay beyond all expectations. The house and grounds are so welcoming, clean, fully stocked and even special treats. We hung at the dock and kayaked the entire week, so peaceful !and relacing
My husband and I booked a weekend here for some overdue relaxation, and it was just what we had hoped it to be. The amenities were great, the space was beautiful, and Kim and Lane were very communicative and helpful throughout the entire process. To have access to a pool, a hot tub, the lake, and a beautiful sunset each day was truly a lovely experience.
My husband and I were looking for a quiet, relaxing weekend away and this was perfect! The property had everything we could want: pool, hot tub, lake, enclosed patio with games, and a full kitchen with outdoor grill where we enjoyed all of our meals. Kim and Lane went above and beyond to make the weekend smooth and enjoyable. We are already planning our next stay!

We appreciate your kind comments and are happy that you enjoyed yourself. We hope to host you again!
Very peaceful beautiful scenery, host were great had us snacks & pizza upon arrival. Place very clean & gorgeous. Kim & Lane great host were there to help with everything. Thanks if ever this way again will defineatly stay here
Kim and Lane were more than kind and accommodating. The space is well appointed with everything you could possibly need. Beautiful property located near several grocery options and a short drive to Gainesville restaurants. Would 100% stay here again. Be sure to rent a boat from one of the many rental facilities and explore the lake!
This property was perfect for our group of four (2 couples). It had beautiful indoor and outdoor space for relaxing and dining. We also enjoyed the large pool and the ability to dock our boat. This property has everything. It's well stocked and did not lack anything we may have needed. Kim and Lane were super responsive and helpful with all our needs.
Woodland waters is a beautiful property.
The pool and hot tub were perfect!
The beds were so comfy and the kitchen was clean and well stocked. Bathrooms are updated and the hosts Kim and Lane left all the items needed to make everyone feel at home. Our teenager enjoyed the games and TV’s in almost every room!
Path down to lake is a bit steep with no railings but we managed.
Lake Lanier is just gorgeous. We hope to visit again!
Location and property were excellent! So pretty and terrace level guest house was so beautifully decorated. Hosts went out of their way and provided snacks and even frozen pizza for a first dinner. They even had extra toothbrushes, toothpaste and mouthwash in the bathrooms. They provided kayaks to use with life vests.
It seemed more like a bed and breakfast type stay as the owners were living on the property while you were there.
Our family stayed at Woodland Waters for fall break. A quick drive from Atlanta, it is a really great location with food, shopping, and grocery stores nearby. Kim and Lane greeted us upon arrival and Lane showed us around. Kim kept in touch in case we needed anything. The apartment was amazing! Everything was basically new and pretty. Kim and Lane really thought of everything that we could possibly need and made it such an easy stay. If you're up early enough during your stay, be sure to catch the sunrise over the lake from their boat dock. It is breathtaking!

Thanks for your gracious comments. We are happy you enjoyed your time at the lake. We would love to host you again.
Very clean and well stocked private area on terrace level of owners home. Owners are on site as described in listing and are very nice and welcoming. They meet you upon arrival and give you a walk through- even helped went above and beyond to help us carry a few things in. The area was beautifully decorated. Beds are soft and adjustable. Showers have high end finishings/ shower heads. We had access to lake toys including a double kayak and paddles on a very nice section of the lake. Very nice dock with upper level lounging area/ eating area is a great place to enjoy views of the lake.very nice.
This stay was my first inside the states, I've used Vrbo in Aruba, Canada and Colombia. This one has outdone itself. Everything was taken into account. The space was clean, modern and inviting. It comfortable fit 4 adults and could have fit 2 more. Our hosts were made to process very smooth. Although, they lived on the property we hardly knew they were around. The pool, hot tub, decks (outdoor and lake front), cornhole game, fire pit were welcomed for a long relaxing weekend. I would absolutely recommend this place.
We had stayed at this apartment several years ago and we were very much looking forward to another visit. It is a lovely terrace apartment with comfort and amenities to please everyone. We enjoy the party dock and meals on the patio. The screened porch is a great spot to relax while reading a great book. The kitchen is well stocked and provides a gathering place to prepare simple meals. There is a swimming pool, spa tub, fireplace pit, kayaks, and an outdoor space to swing or play games. The apartment is impeccably clean. Kim and Lane are attentive hosts. They have created a relaxing oasis by the lake.

Too many people!
Beautiful property. We feel a bit over instructed on most every aspect of our stay. Dozens of signs with instructions on what not to do. We were the 5th vehicle in the driveway on what we hoped was a private place to relax. Four cameras around the pool and hot tub. Lots of footsteps heard from the residence above. Helicopter hosts, who meant well. I should have backed away when I had to ask twice how many people would be on this property. I never really got a straight answer. We just never felt relaxed. I’ll never assume again that these properties are ADA compliant.

We appreciate your comments although we are surprised. We are proud to have almost all 5-star reviews and were surprised at some of your comments considering most of them are addressed in our listing. The 3-stars for cleanliness was really shocking. Guests compliment the cleanliness. Our professional cleaning service does an excellent job. If you had an issue, we would have addressed it, once you brought it to our attention. We always reach out to guests and try to engage in some conversations when they book so we can make sure this is an appropriate place for them to stay. We we have turned down booked reservations that turn out not to be appropriate for guests (for example, needing wheelchair access). You didn't respond to my VRBO or text questions. I'm not sure why you said we were helicopter hosts when we left you completely alone during your stay except to help you open the hot tub lid, when you needed assistance and to say hi when we passed you on the driveway. We have a handful of signs for your safety and convenience. You showed up an hour earlier than check-in and we were surprised to see the wheelchair. We would have cancelled your reservation but you insisted it would be fine. We helped you to your accommodations and even offered to help you get around on our golf cart, if needed. You turned us down. We worked on getting the ADA passed decades ago and are very familiar with the law. If you still need accessibility, discuss it with your next host before your stay since most private residences aren't accessible. Again, thank you for your comments.
Such a great rental! They have everything you can think of. It was super clean and organized. The hosts were extremely nice and helpful with any questions we had. It was nice to be able to relax in the hot tub and walk down to the lake and unwind. We will be going back in the summer when it’s warmer!!
Mr. Lane and Mrs. Kim were the best host. Attention to detail was outstanding. Felt very safe and could not ask for of a more relaxing vacation. Definitely will be back soon....

About the host
Hosted by Kim Lucatorto
My husband Lane and I have been married for over 40 years. We have 2 adult girls, one granddaughter, one grandson, and another granddaughter on the way. My husband Lane had a 41 year career in the entertainment industry. Working at NBC TV in Chicago, including for NBC Sports, and as Engineer in Charge for national TV shows (Jerry Springer, Jenny Jones, Judge Mathis, Judge Pirro, Steve Harvey and others). I worked in TV, as a magazine publisher and most recently as Director of Education at a career college. Born and raised in the Chicago area, we retired to Lake Lanier and have enjoyed every minute of our time here!
Why they chose this property
Beautiful lakefront living on the quieter part of Lake Lanier but still close to everything like shopping and dining. Plus, we are the county seat. Lots of fun town activities and celebrations throughout the year. Nice, deep water lot with nice views. Nice neighborhood of year round residents located close to town and all the needs of someone living in a nice town. Short boat rides to several marinas and Olympic rowing venue. Near the mountains and quaint area towns like Dahlonega and Helen.
What makes this property unique
It seems like your a million miles away from the world, but you're only 5 minutes from everything. The home has everything we wanted.
