The great room on the terrace level is perfect for entertaining with a large round table that fits 8 - ideal for games, puzzles or a big group dinner - a pool table and TV viewing area. Another full kitchen completes the level. The large balcony off of this floor offers a covered space with an outdoor sectional and lounge chairs, perfect to be closer to the water or have an afternoon drink out of the hot Georgia sun.

If you want a break from electronics we have old fashioned board games, card games and puzzles. There is also a good selection of books for those who would like to read during your stay. Working remotely is painless at the lake, with a writing desk and chair included in the front main level guest room.
For those who prefer outdoor activities, a secluded custom firepit area provides a perfect place for late night bonfires. Our private deep-water dock can accommodate most size boats should you want to bring or rent your own. We also have a kayak and paddleboat provided – perfect to use in the peaceful cove. Boat cleats on the dock can also be used to tie up your jet ski or any other water craft you may bring. A 30-minute boat ride down the lake will bring you to lakefront entertainment such as Pelican Pete’s, Margaritaville and Lake Lanier Islands Water Park.

Summary: Water’s edge was perfect for our family! We had three families with 6 little kids and a grandpa and having two full living areas allowed us to be together, but have space when we needed it. The space was clean and spacious. There were two dishwashers in the kitchen on the main floor which is incredible with 14 people. I appreciated that they had hand soap in the all the bathrooms and basic supplies. It made the first couple days so easy. The dock was big enough that 5 little boys could fish without getting their poles tangled. The boys loved the area to play in and it was safe. Oh! The kitchen was totally stocked! There is every kind of gadget for cooking that you could want. We had one issue with the plumbing in the basement. I only mention it because Ryan came out that day and spent hours fixing it and cleaned it all up. His attentiveness made the trip that much better! We would love to stay here again!
