Summer Discount-Lakefront-2 story dock w/ Views!
My Fiance and I absolutely loved this property! Very spacious, yet cozy and very comfortable. I enjoyed relaxing in front of the fireplace with a cup in the morning and at night with a cup of coffee. My fiance was able to enjoy an afternoon of kayaking while the other days we visited nearby towns such as Helen, GA. What an incredible little town. The Master Bedroom was a dream! From the king size bed, gas fireplace to the spa bathroom. The host was very responsive with any questions we had throughout our stay. I highly recommend this property if you’re looking for a spacious, luxurious lake front property. This will certainly check off all of your boxes!

Shores of Lake Lanier - Beautiful New Build Home!
Beautiful place for a weekend gateway close to Lake Lanier! Our family had a great time and will definitely look to return in the future. The game room, hot tub, and fire pit were great amenities. We also loved the peace and quiet in the backyard!

Canada Cottage/Sauna Cold Plunge Firepit Fishing
Cute and cozy cottage! Host was exceptionally responsive which was greatly appreciated as we had a little difficulty finding the driveway. Would definitely return!. It is important to be aware that the wall between the bedrooms does not go all the way up, so the bedrooms are not private although this was not a huge issue for us.

Lake view, great sunset view off dock, 3 bedrooms
I cannot say enough great things about this property. We arrived to the most beautiful house in a location that was utterly perfect! This home has absolutely everything you would need, essentially just show up with food and clothes! The beds were all VERY comfortable, soft linens, plenty of pillows and well put together. The living areas were cozy & comfortable. Games, items to enjoy the lake, outdoor areas, fire-it for s'mores were all a bonus. The kitchen was stocked with absolutely every thing you would need. The countertop icemaker was my daughters favorite feature! Our kids enjoyed the kayaks, paddleboards and floats. We enjoyed a glass of wine while watching them! Easy communication & great host. You could not ask for a better house! Thank you for the best stay! We will definitely be back!

4bd Lakehouse w/ Dock + HotTub + FirePit + Kayaks
Great place to rent we will definitely look to rent again.

Cozy Lakefront Home w/ Boat Dock
Beautiful place and view! Very family friendly!

A-Frame on Lake Lanier with Private Dock
Overall a fantastic location and home on the lake! Well worth the price.

TheView make memories/ Dock/Waterview-Lake Lanier
A great property with lots of guest space, and everything we needed to have a peaceful weekend at the lake. Deepti is a responsive host.

Lakefront Apartment near Lanier Olympic Park Venue
Just a really wonderful cozy place and the host were just as amazing. I would highly recommend this five star accommodation.

Norcross/Atlanta:Entire Unit H,FASTWiFi, FreeParkn
Great stay ! Responsive Host ! Peaceful , and worth the price paid . Will book again !

Gateway by the Brave’s-Free parking/-Spacious-cozy
This place was perfect for us! We had a concert to attend at the Coca Cola Roxy and this home was an easy 6 minute walk to the venue! They left very clear instructions (that I may have overlooked for some information) but were very friendly when I messaged them for clarification. Their response time is the best I’ve ever experienced on AirBnB. Mostly getting back to us in under 20 minutes. The place was well kept and had plenty of glasses and kitchen equipment if needed. We didn’t get a chance to visit the lake behind the place since it rained most of the time we stayed but it was stunning enough that we were able to keep the curtains drawn to enjoy the view. For the most part the neighborhood was quiet and made it a wonderful stay. When we make it back out to Atlanta this place will be first on my list!!

Romantic,Carriage House Apartment with a View
Awesome weekend at Constance’s Airbnb! So relaxing.

Harmony On The Lakes retreat.
Me and my fiancé stayed here for three months, and we absolutely loved it. The place was perfectly clean when we arrived and had everything we needed for cooking and cleaning. It is a basement apartment on the ground level of their house, and we never had any noise problems with them living above us. The neighborhood itself was so beautiful, and I always felt safe. I would highly recommend anyone to stay with Monique. She is very kind and always responded in a timely manner if I messaged her about something.

Spacious2BR-2BTH/5 min walk -Truist Park/free PRKG
This place was everything I needed, maybe too much space for a solo traveler. There was enough space for me plus 2 -3 more comfortably. I didn’t use the kitchen or the pool on site however, both looked inviting to use. I did take a walk around the pond near by and caught a game at Truist park, also near by. I would come back

Club Cozy 2bd 2bath near The Battery/Braves!
Kyara was a very friendly and responsive host! Even before we arrived, she responded to our questions and inquiries. The space was very clean and inviting…and also safe and secure, which was important to our group of three senior ladies. Check in and check out were easy. Very few requests upon checkout, which was nice. Hand soap and dishwashing soap are provided, but guests may want to bring their own bath soap, laundry soap, and dryer sheets. Apparently, some folks like to bring their own supplies of these things due to allergies, and personal preferences. Air B & Bs are different in what they consider standard supplies. (Kyara did bring us soap and body wash when we requested it, which we appreciated!) We had an emergency while we were in town and Kyara was more than helpful in offering assistance to help us get it resolved. She is an excellent host and will make you feel quite welcome! We would recommend the Club Cozy to friends and would stay here again!

Gainesville Getaway by Lake Lanier
Andrea was so helpful when our original AirBNB was inaccessible and we had to find a new place that was accessible and available last minute. Thank you so much!!!

Lakefront Cottage, Very Quiet, Marietta, East Cobb
We decided to make a short trip up to Atlanta for a Braves game and the Aquarium. We were even able to fit in some dinner with family in Marietta. This place provided a nice relaxing place for us to settle between everything and allow us to bring our wonderful dog along. The owners were very responsive and helpful. From the beginning, we had no trouble getting inside and settling. Inside is a bit cozy and has a homey feel to it with a great view of the lake they're sitting on. Outside is a newer spacious trex (or comparable) decking out over the lake with some paddle boards and kayaks that were available for use. It was very nice to hang out there, chat and sip on a beer. Just a peaceful setting that was much needed. The only thing that was a little difficult to manage was the shower due to it's size but we both handled it fairly well. Overall, I'd say this was an excellent experience and would certainly do this again. Thank you!!

A Lakeside Gem
Perfect getaway for a weekend of peace and fishing. 20 mins from town and some golf courses we also visited. Beautiful lake, hope to come back someday.

Lake Nottely Getaway
Patsy’s place was the perfect weekend getaway for our family. Seeing it with our own eyes was even better than the pictures on the listing. Beautiful lake front. Multiple outside dining and grilling spaces and a dock. There were only 4 of us but 3-4 more peeps could’ve joined us comfortably. Patsy was great with communicating and answering our questions. We would come back.

Renovated lake cottage at the base of Big Canoe
Beautiful home! Susan is awesome and communication was incredible. She really made our stressful wedding weekend easier and I truly appreciate her going the extra mile to assist with our special accommodation needs.

The Architect's Cottage: Unique! on Bishop Lake
This was our second stay at the Architect’s Cottage. It was as peaceful and calm this time as before. The deck and lake are our favorite things but inside the house is great too: clean and cozy and beautifully appointed with unique furnishings, art and lighting. Thank you, Jennifer for making this available again for us.

TLC: The Lake Cottage
We just spent a few days here and didn’t want to leave. It’s incredibly quiet and completely private -- pure nature and total peace. We brought our two dogs and they had the best time exploring and hanging out by the lake. It felt safe, relaxing, and just really comfortable. The cottage was spotless, cozy, and had everything we needed. Judith was so kind—she checked in by text to make sure we had everything, which we really appreciated. If you’re looking for a peaceful place to disconnect and recharge, this is it. We’re already planning to come back.

Gathering Moss Cottage on Burton
Thank you for another wonderful stay at this Lake Burton treasure! This house has the most beautiful view of the lake and we love how peaceful and serene it is there! There is a lot to do in the area but we always find ourselves just settling in and relaxing on the dock or the water! We can’t wait to come back next year!

Lake Lanier Retreat w/ Boat Dock!
We were in Dawsonville for a wedding, and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this lovely home with peaceful surroundings! Everything was spotless, and the welcome snacks were a thoughtful added touch! The screened-in porch was a favorite for morning coffee (and, thanks to the outdoor flatscreen, for nighttime NCAA basketball final four!). We loved having access to the lake with the short stroll through the woods down to the dock. The home is so inviting…we wish we would’ve had more time to just hang out and relax…by the water, on the porch, around the fire pit, or in the comfy indoor spaces!
