The host, Collins, is so nice and very responsive. The house is located in a great neighborhood and is very clean and spacious. There were 6 adults and we had plenty of room and it felt like home. It was decorated for Christmas which we loved. It’s stocked with all the dishes and pots and pans that you’ll need. The back covered porch is nice to sit out and look at the lake and watch the deer. I definitely would book this house again and I recommend it.

This house is more like visiting a friend's home than a vacation rental. It was immaculately clean and well maintained, with kitchen appliances that look brand new (We loved the bright blue oven!) There were welcoming touches everywhere, from the salsa and chips, to the toiletries in the bathrooms, to the cozy throws for cool nights, to the supply of games on the lower level. We are a group of old friends who get together every year or two, and we loved that there are plenty of places to play games or just sit and reminisce. We particularly enjoyed the screened porch overlooking the lake which has a comfortable sitting area as well as a pub table for games or meals in the fresh air. We didn't take advantage of the lake, but there is a room with everything imaginable for kids to have fun playing off of the dock.The neighborhood is quiet and feels isolated, even though it is just behind a beautiful golf course and a few miles from a major shopping area. We enjoyed watching the young deer running through the back yard in the mornings.Collins is a very gracious host. She contacted me to talk about everything we needed to know, and was very responsive when I reached out with questions. We are already making plans to return next year!

Worth It!

The house was perfect. It had everything we needed to have Thanksgiving. There was plenty of hot water for 8, the beds were comfortable and plenty of places to relax with a cup of coffee and watch the wildlife or a read a great book. There is plenty to do inside and around the home. We stayed a week. We rented a boat for a day, played golf at the local golf course which was really nice, did a winery tour in Dahlonega and played tennis/pickleball. I would highly recommend it to anyone wanting to stay in the area.

Quiet Lake Lanier Family Spot

Collins and her family have an amazing house on the north side of Lake Lanier. The house is comfortable, well equipped, and very clean. The location to stores and restaurants is convenient. Close to Cleveland, Dahlonega, and Helen for many adventures. Highly recommend! Collins is one of the best most informative hosts!

Luxury @ Lake Lanier

Absolutely perfect property for our family lake vacation. From a great layout (kids in the basement) to very comfortable furnishings, the house and property met and exceeded all of our expectations. The homeowners were very helpful and their app for the property was awesome! The bedding and linens were exceptional (I even checked the sheets for the brand to buy for home) and the kitchen was well stocked with every appliance and accessory we needed. Really LOVED the two story dock and played with the kids for hours tossing a football around in the water. Rented a boat one day and got full use of the boat slip and lake… to include fishing and tubing. The location was perfect with Publix and Walmart only 10 minutes away. Beautiful neighborhood with peaceful evenings. Would definitely stay here again when returning to Lake Lanier!

Family Trip for a Wedding

A group of us stayed at this incredible house (8 adults total) for a family wedding and the house surpassed expectations. The house was laid out really well, the house was fully stocked with everything needed to have a great trip, and the house was located in a beautiful vacation. Unfortunately, it rained our entire trip but any pockets of sunshine and we went for runs around the neighborhood, paddleboarded on the lake, or just hung out in the super comfortable house (full decorated for Christmas, which was lovely!). Couldn't say enough nice things about the stay and for Collins, who was quick to respond and help us make the most of our trip.

Perfect family vacation home

I would definitely stay here again. You will not be disappointed. There are 3 full bathrooms so each family had there own bathroom. More than enough beds. The basement has 2 bedrooms and a full bath, a game room with a ping pong table and about 20 board games, and a large family area with a large TV. The main floor has 3 bedrooms--2 with king beds and one with 2 single beds along with 2 full bathrooms. The house is in a quiet safe neighborhood. When you get up in the morning you can sit outside on the screened in porch and watch the deer came eat in the backyard overlooking the lake. The first morning I saw 5 deer while I was outside praying early in the morning. The house is beautiful! Well thought out floor plan. There is a private deck on the lake. I If it is too cool outside to enjoy the lake, I recommend going to Atlanta an hour drive away to see the Aquarium--the best one in the US. We also went to the zoo and the Coca Cola museum. Also an hour away is the great little town of Helen that is worth your time. It is a german town that also offers a mountain coaster that is very popular. We also drove to the Blue Ridge mountains and apple orchids. There is so much to see and do in the area if you can manage to get away from the beautiful home.

Family Gathering

Opportunity to get the family together, which had not happened for a while. We gathered firewood in the woods, made a fire, had smores and a lot of fun! Enjoyed great dinner in one night (Dump & Bake recipe) and had a riot with Connect-4 game with the 7 yr old ending the night as the champion. Went to Suwanee to watch the kids soccer games and enjoyed an evening dinner at Montaluce Vineyard. Did some retail therapy at the outlet mall followed by Kani's Hibachi dinner. Enjoyed the screened in porch and all home spaces. In all, great memories!

Family Vacation 10/10!!!

My family and I rented Holly Hideaway for a week long vacation in June. We had the BEST time!!! The owner’s of Holly Hideaway were absolutely amazing. From the date we booked to the day we left, they were always accommodating, lovely, and SO helpful. So about our stay… let’s just talk about how jaw-dropping the neighborhood is!!! It’s stunning. Every house is unique and lovely. And Holly Hideaway is in the midst of one of the best golf courses in GA!! The house is HUGE & I want to now re-decorate my own home because of how beautiful the furniture and decor is. They did an excellent job! The kitchen came fully stocked with every appliance, bowl, and utensil one would need. My family enjoyed our time on the lake - fishing, paddle boarding, kayaking, etc. We had many game nights & ping-pong tournaments, spent some time at the golf course, and went to a Braves game (which was about an hour away but not a bad drive at all!). We also went to the outlets and enjoyed some of the shops (only 10 min away!). Every morning, we had a coffee on the back porch and went for a 2-4 mile walk around the neighborhood to explore some of the gorgeous homes. In the evenings, we grilled out and had some quality family time. Another plus - the neighbors here are so friendly. We could not have asked for a better location and stay. We had a family of 8, including our grandma, and there was something here for everyone to enjoy. We all definitely recommend staying here and are looking forward to booking again!

Fabulous time!

Everything from check-in, stay, and check-out was amazingly easy. The photos need updating as the decor and bedding was extremely nice and perfectly staged! All rooms, including game room and screened in deck were clean and welcoming, great color schemes and comfortable furniture. The early birds in our group of 8 had our coffees in the screened deck each morning, listening to the birds and watching the sun beams off the lake just steps away. The night owls hung out there after playing ping pong in the game room. The outdoor chairs and fire pit made for a great eve of s’mores. The deck was perfect for those of learning to cast a fishing rod, lol! Even our 4 year old grandson had an awesome time and still keeps asking when we’re going back to our lake house! Highly recommend the following local restaurants: Brooklyn Joe’s Pizza, The Blue Bycycle and Kani House. Also, we had a slow tire leak in our passenger van, Charlie’s Tire Shop came through on the busy Easter weekend at a very low price. Holly House will be forever in our memories, and we look forward to returning later the year!
