Lanier Vacation Rentals Guests, have the opportunity to take advantage of a heavily discounted pontoon boat rental that can be delivered to your dock during your stay! Send us a note and let us know how we can make your experience 5-star!

A Great Stay
They thought of everything! The house was nice, it was clean which is always my main concern. Beds were comfortable. The kitchen seemed to have everything one would need. We were in town for a family gathering so we were never there long enough to cook or do much besides shower sleep and go again. There are all kinds of games. A great place to stay and relax. So much more pleasant than a hotel and you’re able to be outdoors on the deck and enjoy nature and fresh air. I’m glad we found it! We may stay there again sometime.

The home was perfect for our family! The upstairs was perfect for quiet time and the downstairs worked well for the younger kids to play as well as their parents to enjoy a game of pool or a movie. We will certainly stay again if we are in the area.

Granddaughter birthday
The home is so nice. Beds comfy lots of kids and adult games. We came to the area to attend family baptism and birthday party. Kitchen is small but very well stocked. Scott was quick to respond as I bothered him about TV instructions and Internet password. Only sadness was the lake water is down , dock sits in mud and we were unable to play at all out there 😢

Great rental home
We enjoyed our stay! Scott was very communicative and answered any questions we had promptly. It's a bit of a hike down to the lake, but the paddleboards and kayak that were available were awesome! The kids loved their den downstairs with all the games, TV, pool table, and more.

Lake Retreat
We enjoyed our stay. Lake Lanier is beautiful. The house was great. It had everything we needed. There was plenty of space for my teenagers to hang out. We enjoyed playing games and playing pool. The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful. We enjoyed watching the deer. Probably the only negative would be the steep path to and from the dock. I don't remember if that was mentioned in the description for the house/dock. Overall, we give this place 5 stars.

Packs it all in!
We were so impressed! The hosts think of everything...Spices, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, games galore! This house really felt like a home and we were so excited to have our families under one roof for the 4th. The bedrooms were comfortable with robes for all. The bathrooms were beautifully redone (shower in master, tub in guest). The kitchen is small but so well designed amd stocked, it almost more convenient than home. They aren't kidding about the internet, we had 3 adults working the whole week, and all the teenagers' phones attached and the tvs were still streaming the ballgames perfectly. The dock was great and with the kayak and 2 paddle boards, the teens were out of the house more than in. (The walk back up is no joke, but will keep the backside in shape and make tge calories worth it). The basement is probably the best hangout space we've ever seen. SO many games, tons of seating, great tv, darts, bar with mini-fridge, full shower bath, and a perfect teen bedroom with a place for them to chill or play video games. What really made the trip for us were the porches. They are wide and run the length of the house, top and bottom. Perfect place for sunning (or shading), eating, chatting around the firetable, grilling, or taking a nap on the hammock. The boys had an epic cornhole tournament! Our hosts were super helpful and responsive amd we will most certainly be back!!!

Escape from Reality!
My family needed to relocate for a couple of days on short notice and Cool Change Too was the perfect solution! The house is quite charming and the owners have truly thought of everything. We were so impressed with the well appointed kitchen, super soft sheets, and awesome rec/game room. And, my autistic son loved the giant bean bag chair!! What could have been an inconvenience for my family turned into a wonderful mini-vacation. The peaceful surroundings allowed for total relaxation (which included deer watching) while still being convenient to shopping, restaurants, etc. This was my first experience with Vrbo and Lanier Vacation Rentals and the bar has been set very high!!

Great Time at Cool Change II
Everything was perfect and just as it was listed. The house is well-maintained (like new) with modern decor and had everything we needed. The lower level provides not only great space for kids to hang out but also the entire family. Plenty of deck space on two levels to enjoy the scenic wooded setting. Neighborhood is beautiful and in a convenient location to grocery stores and marinas. Beautiful lake setting. If you are looking for a beautiful place to stay that has everything you need to be comfortable, this is the place. We were looking for a place to enjoy the long weekend and to enjoy some good family time following some graduations and this turned out to be an excellent choice. We had such a great time. Thank you, Scott and Sharon.
