Dandelion Lane was perfect for our family! The multiple levels and areas of living space gave us spaces to gather and spaces to chill. We took the canoes down to the boat launch .9 miles down the road and had a great time on the lake.
The property was beautiful inside and the outside area was very nice. We would have preferred an actual bed on the main floor rather than the “porch swing” but all of the casual spaces to sit and talk with family members and friends made up for that.We would still rebook this property. We did enjoy our stay!!
Our stay was amazing. The attention to detail and comforting home and scenery was amazing! Thank you and looking forward to future stays. We saw deer from our window!! I would recommend this home to anyone looking to stay in this area!!
Easy checkin! The house was spacious and charming. There was so many places to hangout and sleep afterwards. We enjoyed our stay. Would recommend to all!
This home was beautifully decorated for the holidays. The location was convenient for our family and we had plenty of room to play and relax. The complimentary S'mores and hot chocolate bar were really appreciated! When some changes on my part were evident, the host, Monica was helpful and quick to respond.
What a great stay. House is beautiful, just as listed, plenty of room to spread out even with a large group. Owners very accommodating. Great Lake Lanier location. Close to everything.
This is a beautiful property with space to spread out and relax, play games, enjoy a meal, etc etc. Everyone loved their comfy beds and the indoor swing was a favorite ready nook
Our church group from South Florida enjoyed our stay here. We originally saw the listing mentioned a hot tub in the description and only after booking did we contact the owner who said there was no hot tub. That would have made the stay go from good to excellent. The rooms were pretty nice. The laundry room was dirty and the trash removal was a bit confusing. We did have ants in the kitchen sink area during our stay but it wasn't too bad and the owner did offer to come spray but I found some roach spray and used that. The kitchen was not very well stocked (no salt and pepper, very few dishes (not enough for our group of 13), not many pots, etc...) and was badly in need of a renovation. Overall, it was a nice stay. The s'mores supplies were a sweet touch.
Dandelion Lane was the perfect place for our reunion. We had an event in Flowery Branch, within easy driving distance. The house is three levels, with conversation area on each level. The outdoor space is beautiful and well-appointed (firepit, grill, seating), with a beautiful view of lake, woods and sunrise. The perfect place to spend days of quiet with friends or family.
Wonderful house! Spent a weekend there with 3 other families and 4 teenage boys. The separate bedroom and basement area was perfect for them ( and for the 3 couples who stayed in each of the bedrooms upstairs!) they loved doing smores around the fire at night too! They were a little disappointed that the cornhole beanbags were ripped and torn, making the game unusable. Great communication from Monica! Very quick and helpful responses anytime I reached out. The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars was that the description of lake access was slightly misleading and could’ve been clearer in that the property is at the very end of the cove with very shallow water ( not enough to swim in or float in really ) and no access for a boat to pull up. We ended up keeping our boat overnight at the very nearby Holiday Marina so it worked out in the end but definitely were surprised when we arrived. Monica went out of her way to try to help us find a place to moor our boat overnight, so that was much appreciated. Overall still had a fantastic time and would recommend the house fully as long as you’re not planning on swimming or playing in the water right behind the house and you can dock your boat elsewhere.
Wonderful stay, House is spacious and clear, very well set up. Not sure about pricing but seemed a little expensive. Looks like there is not normally water in that part of the cove. All in all great experience still.
Amazing, welcoming communication from the host. The property was beautiful, with living areas on each floor for gathering. Our friends enjoyed the s'mores fixings, thank you! We'd love to gather there again.
I bring people down for work and this particular home has enough room where people can socialize or get away. We have fun in Buford and even in the colder months this place has the room to spread out
