    If you would like to enjoy boating adventures during your stay, you can either bring your own boat or you can rent a boat at Paradise rental boats which is located at Port Royale Marina in Gainesville.

Please ensure that you are always using appropriate flotation devices for everyone in your group when you are in and around the water.

Adventuresome

Beautiful secluded property perfect for relaxing. It was definitely a good workout down to the lake and back. Was a little to steep to take the kayaks down the hill. It would have been nice to have the kayaks stored down by the water.

4th of July magic

Overall a great experience. Direct access to lake lanier was wonderful. 2 kayaks were there and we also fished from the dock. Firepit in yard was used despite temperatures. Home was nice and functional. Accessories such as fusball, ping pong, karaoke and gas firepit did NOT work though. Those were our only disappointment.

A perfect setting for fellowship and fun!

We hosted a small group of teens to celebrate a milestone in their lives, the kids played games, made meals, ate as a group, roasted marshmallows and even got up early to watch the sunrise! The setting was perfect! It was quiet and tranquil. Just far enough away to break teenagers away from their phones. The house was cozy and neat. The kitchen was well stocked. We could not have asked for more!

2022 Brothers Week

The property was clean and as advertised. Lots of wildlife you could walk to the park behind the property. The entire property is sloped and we were not able to have our annual washers tournament. Maureen was very responsive to any of our inquires and give the overall stay a thumbs up!

Quiet cove.

The house offered plenty of space for everyone. The dock is secluded and easy to access by boat. We rented a pontoon for 3 days. The stairs from the dock to the house are new but steep. It may be difficult for anyone with mobility issues to climb the stairs.

Great place very clean and comfortable.

Nice house seen several deer walking around property. It is alot of steps down to the water for a old man. But it's in a canal all by itself. Loved the place.
