Summary: We came across this gem while looking for a place to host a family reunion. This house is one of a kind with so much space both inside and outside and amazing views of the lake. This upscale house makes you feel like you are on retreat in Tuscany or South of France. We had a fantastic time. Thank you Victor for accommodating our needs. We are looking forward to coming back!

Summary: The house is huge and fun. 3 game rooms. Great space for 20 people to gather and relax. We did see a few Palmetto bugs during our stay. We would do it again.

Summary: We love the property and location. We enjoyed interacting with the host. Our only frustrations were related to the cleanliness of the kitchen and appliances. The outdoor furniture was also in need of updating or repairs. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and look forward to visiting again soon.

Summary: Amazing house. A bit dilapidated but nothing to make us not want to rebook for next year. Had some group members complain about the worn out mattresses when we arrived, I told Victor and he showed up the same day and with 2 new mattresses. That is great service! Pool is fantastic but the surface can rough up your feet, highly recommend water shoes. Will be back!

Summary: 30 family members had a wonderful time and plenty of space. The pool, hot tub and other outside spaces were well used. The house was more than spacious enough. Could use some updating but was clean. Would suggest having more cold storage. A full size refrigerator/freezer would be great downstairs and maybe a mini fridge in the bunk room kitchen.

Summary: The home is amazing and it was such a great place to bring a large group. As other reviews have said, it could use some updates, but we thoroughly enjoyed the place and will comeback next year! The property is not in Buford and it was listed as such. It is in Gainesville on the backside of the lake. Hopefully VRBO corrects this. The owner was great to work with.

Summary: Our family of about 30 enjoyed a week here at the end of December. The house is so big, it is almost disorienting at first! Our people loved the large bedrooms with baths; the play spaces inside and out; the short walk to Bethel Park with 3 great foot trails and boat ramp and beach access; the commercial quality kitchen with a griddle big enough for 15 pancakes at a time and real commercial pizza oven. And the spaces you could go for a bit of quiet. The owner met me at the check in, which I really appreciate. And he responded quickly when the Jacuzzi was not working on day one, getting a repair person out same day which is great. But overall communications with owner were sparse and not very responsive in the 10 or so months between contract and our stay. He only communicates through the vrbo app. So, he responded when I really needed him to. Several mattresses (7 of 10) need replacement, some very badly. If you have a group with sensitive backs, this is deal breaker. As others have noted, there are some mice in the pantry (so put food in tubs). I wish we could have gotten the fireplace in the library working. It was ideal fireplace weather, and that is a beautiful retreat. Also, we had one game table that was already broken collapse while there. We took pictures and notified him and the owner was good about not having issues with it. Thanks for an excellent stay with great memories!

Summary: The house is huge & accommodates many people with lots to do but it needs major updating & a better cleaning service. We had to run straight out for cleaning supplies to clean mold off toilet seats & get Drano for many sinks that wouldn’t drain. The pool table had sticks with no tips so my husband fixed those. We never got the fireplaces working & it took quite the effort to get the hot tub running. They need new couches all through the house. They should be embarrassed by the wear & tear of them!!! The kitchen is large & great for space but was a challenge to cook thanksgiving dinner in. They need new appliances badly. Bring extra bath towels & paper products if you choose to rent here. Also.. it’s lake view but not lake access. We didn’t realize that. Great view though! So overall we just felt like for the money we spent to rent this house it should have been updated & felt nicer. The kids all felt like we were in a run down castle. It was kinda sad really! But our family time was still great and we will rent another big house again.. just not this one.
