Great group trip with an accommodating and responsive host. Wendy was communicative and helpful even though I was a little needy. Also, anyone visiting Lake Lanier needs to be mindful of water levels. Georgia is in a drought and Wendy even helped get us access to a neighboring dock to save the weekend for our boat rental. AC worked phenomenally in the wretched heat. Kitchen was fully stocked to cook all meals for a group of 10. Lots of hangout space and fun games abound. Highly recommend! WiFi worked great as well.

The house was beautiful and clean was a wonderful stay beautiful area. Everybody loved it.. The water level was really lowAt the lake, but the homeowners can’t help that that’s mother nature. But honestly, the house was still worth it to go down to and look at stuff and the view was incredible. You will actually love it.

Thank you for your review. I personally did a deep clean on the house for a big spring cleaning for a few days before your arrival. I'm pretty thorough because I have a vested interest in my lakehouse :). I am so sorry you felt it was unclean. Just a suggestion, as a future guest, you could contact your host if you have an issue & we as hosts would LOVE to do something about your grievance before a review like this. To all my future guests, I work very hard at maintaining super clean houses. Rest assured it is extremely sanitized & clean. Please read all Hidden Gem's reviews on cleanliness & you will see this is a first. Thanks so much!

We really appreciated all the thoughtful touches in the house, like the toiletries and little extras. They made our stay very comfortable. The lake house was also decorated for Christmas which was such a nice and personable touch!
