great host

The good: The host is great with communication. The house was clean and pictured as described. We did not use the pool or hot tub or sauna as time did not allow us with our trip, but the pool looked clean. Plenty of clean fresh smelling towels and linens. Only a couple of dry pantry spices, but owner left some delicious brownies. So if planning on cooking buy or bring staples. Laundry was clean, but we went to dollar tree to buy detergent as there was only 1 pod to use. Bathroom and rooms were big, but if you are traveling with more than 2 people there is only 1 bathroom with the shower and toilet in same bathroom.Grounds are nice, however it is a HIKE to the lake access, down VERY steep/rocky/timber terrain. There was no way we could drag the kayaks down and back up trom this dirt path. Also if you do want to go in the lake, bring some sort of old tennis shoes or thick water shoes as the walk down and up is not for bare feet or flip flops/slides. In order to get in the water it is literally just walking into the lake off the bank, no actual gradual entry. So in this way we were very disappointed and will not recommend if looking for a house that has lake access. If you are just looking for a great house and host this is your place, if you are looking to enjoy the lake I would pass.

Nice little vacation

Gorgeous property. We stayed in the hot tub most of the time. We loved it. Beautiful peaceful garden, lovely decor around property and inside. Just what we needed for a mini vacation for my sister's birthday.

Classic Southern Hospitality!

I can not wait to go back to stay again at this Hidden Gem! So peaceful, quiet, and serene. I needed to relax and I found that here; just what I needed. Huge hot tub with lotsa jets, toasty sauna, sparkling clean swimming pool, just perfection. Comfy bed, silky sheets, puffy soft comforter; I slept so well. Fully stocked, modern kitchen had everything I required. Large screen TV with plenty of channels. One of my favorite things was to sit outside in the mornings at the patio table and watch the birds and butterflies, and admire the lovely landscaping and flowers. Hosts could not have been kinder or more welcoming, but they were also not intrusive. Highly recommended!

Gem is accurate description

This place was perfect for us. We used all of the amenities. It was absolutely gorgeous. There were butterflies and hummingbirds swirling around the beautiful flowers all over the yard. Cleanliness was perfect and hosts were great. 10 out of 10 seems like a low score for this one.

Recent stay

We found this wonderful property for a last minute stay for my son't baseball tournament earlier this month. It was the perfect getaway retreat with a wonderful pool and jacuzzi, easy access to the lake with kayaks for us to enjoy, a pool table that kept us busy at the end of the day and very comfortable beds at night. We had a great time and hope to return next summer!

Relaxing getaway

Property and host were amazing. My family enjoyed the pool, hot tub and pool table on site. Lake acess and view was a plus. Lake Lanier is beautiful but dont expect great results as for shore fishing, deepwater is more realistic. All being said, we really enjoyed our stay!

Great spot

The property was great! The house was very clean and beautifully decorated. The pool was really nice and so was the rest of the outside entertaining area. I didn’t put the correct number of adults in when I booked but Luann had her husband bring us a roll away bed at 10pm. Best of all she made us brownies. 10/19 would recommend booking with Luann.

Spacious and sparkling clean

We absolutely loved our stay at Luann's place! Everything was just as represented and in fact even better in person. Loved all the amenities - hot tub, sauna, pool, kayaks, pool table - we used them all! Very private and well-appointed patio surrounded by trees and songbirds. Short downhill walk to the lake, which is so peaceful and clear. A little slice of paradise :-)

About the host

Hosted by Luann Melaragno

My name is Luann and my husband's name is Sam. We have 4 kids and 8 grandkids. We are home bodies and have spent a lot of time making this house a home. I have a passion for interior decorating and gardening. Spending time on my patio surrounded by flowers is one of my favorite things to do! It was my dear friends' idea that we should rent our house out on Airbnb. She brought it to our attention that Lake Lanier is such a popular travel destination and our house would be such a treat for visitors to rent out during their stay. It was a no brainer for us to become hosts since we have been brainstorming on ways to make extra income for retirement and are very hospitable people. When this house came for sale we were just the people to pour into it to make it what it is today.

Why they chose this property

The moment we seen pictures of the house online we could envision putting our touch on it. The functional open floor plan layout was perfect for our family to gather and we knew one day it would be perfect to rent our to our guests too. It is conveniently located in a neighborhood close to amenities but you do not feel like you are in a neighborhood when you are there. The 1 acre wooded lot provides privacy and a peaceful environment. A short walk through the woods takes you back to the lake and that is what makes this house so special.

What makes this property unique

We call this property The Hidden Haven because it really is a hidden gem. Guests have full access to the private backyard which has lake access to Lake Lanier. It comes with a private beautiful pool, 6 person hot tub, slide, bar, pool table, sauna and work out room. Other house rentals provide a comfortable place to stay but Hidden Haven provides a peaceful, relaxing escape that we hope you enjoy as much as we do.
