Hidden Gem in Cumming GA

Property was perfect for our little family of 4! Very close to many restaurants, stores, the beautiful Lake Lanier, and a quick drive to Atlanta. The hosts were super friendly and welcoming and provide a beautiful home with lots of extras for a very reasonable price. Would surely stay again.

Great relaxing getaway

This has to be one of the most adorable places my wife and I have stayed at. Quiet, right off a busy road to the lake. Very easy access to the lake or whatever you may need!! Highly recommend this place for a weekend or even longer. The hosts were amazing!!! Minor details and notes inside were a special touch, but so caring!! Absolutely A+

Phish 2021 - Concerts at Alpharetta Ameris Ampitheater

My son and I stayed at the property so we could attend two Phish concerts at Ameris Ampitheater in Alpharetta. The rental worked out well for my son and I. I stayed in the bedroom and my son slept on the sleeper sofa. All the accommodations were very nice and the owners provided a lot of great info to help in your stay including restaurants, groceries, things to do, etc. The driveway is a little narrow to turn around but the owner let me know I was welcome to use the grass to turn around. Thanks. The place was perfect for our stay.

Slice of Relaxation!!

We loved the set up of this property, decorations, cleanliness, floor design, amenities, and ease of using this property. Jasmine has an eye for decorating and we found everything in perfect runny order. Sat outside and had a glass of wine as the sun set. They had pretty white lights on in the back yard, birds were singing and the weather nice and cool. Very safe and clean and easy access to the interstate. Will come back here again.

Noisy Place.

Rules attached to walls all over the rental. Had no television for two days. Was told garage door was going to be worked on for a couple of hours. Garage door was worked on full day. Constant running around above us. Dog barking. Heard argument. Only nice thing was the people delivered a small Thanksgiving plate of food because I was injured on a hike. The owners need to follow their own rules. This place was by no means quiet and it is no place for an impaired person to stay. Our last night we left and found a hotel near the airport. So we lost out on one day of payment. Sincerely, Mislead Couple.

From the moment we got there we noticed how clean and cozy the place was. From there it only gets better. The entire time we were there we were able to enjoy our |Anniversary just the way we wanted. Quiet and Restful. Yep! That's what we got at your place. Thanks. we'll definitely attempt to occupy this space again in the future.
