Quaint lake property

We had a wonderful stay at this property. The main attraction (besides being on the lake) was its excellent screened-in porch. Highly recommend.

Cute Lake Cottage

The Lanier Lake Cottage was wonderful. Very cute and rustic, but still had all of the necessary amenities. Lake access is super easy and the dock was really nice. The driveway was a bit of a challenge but it is manageable.

Fit Our Family Group Well

Place was exactly as advertised. Good spot on the lake with easy access down to the water. Home offered a lot of space - was clean - & had a great lake cabin type feel. Several outdoor gathering spaces that were nice as well. We've stayed around Lake Lanier prior but will definitely be back here without question.

Cozy and relaxing getaway

Comfortable, serene home with a pretty view. Perfect setting for Thanksgiving week with our family of four. Very clean and charming with just the right amount of rustic. Cozy but plenty of space. A couple of downsides: the steep, gravel driveway was difficult to maneuver. Also, walking on the steep driveway and the stone patio/courtyard (which is awesome, btw) would be very challenging for anyone with mobility issues, due to steps and unevenness in some spots. Overall, we really enjoyed our time!

Great location

Long Hollow cottage is in a great location and the charm of the place is very rustic. My only complaint is a biggie. We checked in and the place was 86 degrees inside. The thermostat was broken and once we were able to identify and fix the problem it took 12 hours to cool to 76 degrees. The bedrooms are remote so the air flow to some of them is low thus we sweat the 1st night out. After that the rest of the stay was very enjoyable as Lake Lanier is amazing! We found several dead cockroaches scattered inside also. Other than that the cottage is warm and cozy but the cooling can be an issue in the summer. I was disappointed that they didn't refund us for the 1st night considering we were all miserable.

Happy Vacation

We all enjoyed our visit. It was a very pleasant experience. We wish there were a hand-grip in the shower; the floor was slippery. There should be a mention of the remote for the air-conditioner in the cabin, as it was found in the bedroom and not there by the air-conditioner.

Perfect Family Getaway

Our family really enjoyed our stay at Longhollow cottages. It had plenty of room and the screened in porch was perfect for eating meals and just hanging out. The kids enjoyed jumping off the dock and playing on the beach. I would highly recommend this property for families.

Almost Perfect

The place was great for our group with three bedrooms plus a cottage outside as well. The porch made opening up the area very comfortable. The centralized spot on the Lake was perfect for us to take the club’s boat out everyday and explore a new area. The only reason my review isn’t perfect is because of the driveway. It is steep, gravely, difficult to maneuver because of the trees, and sometimes difficult to climb without spinning your tires. As much we loved everything else about the place (right down to the firepit wood being laid out sequentially for a perfect fire), every single driver had a problem with navigating the driveway every time they had to drive on it.

Delightful and relaxing

The property was perfect for a relaxed family gathering. The sleeping spaces were excellent and very cozy. Our 12 year old granddaughters enjoyed the freedom of space and surrounding nature activities. Perfect fall weather and scenery were welcomed. The cottage was amply supplied and the secluded area was very private. We would return to this place I. The summer as well.

The cabin was exactly what we wanted.

The guest house was perfect for the 1yr old and his parents, the dock is in a calm cove. The dock is also pretty new which is nice. Easy walk down. The cabin has so much character. We will be back for sure.

Perfect family spot

We had a great time here. We joined our grown kids and grandkids and it was a wonderful time. The boat ramp is close and the dock is covered so we enjoyed leaving the boat in the water. The walk down to the dock is not steep at all and the dock is deep enough for swimming. The beds are comfortable and there is plenty of room to spread out. The view is amazing. Loved it!
