This mansion was just over the top location and furnishings! Our family of 15 people stayed over the Thanksgiving holiday and there was plenty of room for everyone and the kitchens were well equipped. The entire back of the house has tall windows that look out over the lake. We built fires and had s'mores every night. And Vladdy was such a gracious host. He answered our questions right away, and called to make sure everything was okay! We will definitely be returning to this amazing mansion and thank you for having us!

We stayed at this property to host our wedding rehearsal dinner and to house family and friends that travelled to our wedding at Chateau Elan. We had an issue, Vladdy was all over it. He even drove out to help us fix the movie theater and show us how to make the fire places work.
NOTE: Make sure you turn on the heater on the lower floors, so the main floor (#3) stays warm. We learned that after Vladdy instructed us the bottom floors were set at very low temperatures and it was cold. But after that, the house was very very warm. In fact, we had to turn on the a/c at one point.
Beautiful property and it made our special weekend that much better!

This was our first experience with Vrbo, and this home was luxurious! Vladdy is a perfect host! We were so happy with our choice. The house was more beautiful and comfortable than we had hoped. The house was immaculate and exceptionally well-stocked!!!
We look forward to staying here again!

Vladdy has been so easy to work with. I would recommend texting directly with him rather than trying to communicate through the app. He was quick to respond with any questions or concerns that we had. He was very flexible and kind. The home was beautiful and had accommodations for everyone in the family. After reading other reviews we were a little concerned about a few things. Nothing out of the ordinary or unexpected was encountered during our trip. The home has a little wear and tear expectedly so. The beds were very comfortable in the elevator was a major plus for our group. We rented a pontoon boat from shore to shore boat rentals +1 (678) 316-0152. That was another amazing experience. The owner brought the boat right to the private dock in the morning and picked it up from the dock as well.
Thank you Vladdy for sharing your home with us. We are already talking about our next trip there.

Everything was very easy. Vladdy was available and responsive within minutes by phone call, FaceTime, text whenever something was needed or we had a question.. as an example, to have him heat the pool, he responded right away and got it done. Would def stay here again and recommend others as well.

Great house for a large party. The house was spacious with plenty of room for our group of 16. We all enjoyed the pool & outdoor fire place as well as the game room on the second floor. The kitchen & dinning room provided plenty of space for cooking, eating and card games. We also drove our boat up from the south end of the lake so the dock worked out perfect.

We absolutely loved our stay at Vladdy’s house! He was a very responsive and caring host and was willing to help in any way he could. We would highly recommend his home. It is especially great for large groups. Everyone had their space and there was always plenty to do between the lake, pool, game room activities, movie theater, etc. We hope to visit again!

Each year we have a family get together. This year, we stayed at this home on Lake Lanier. The place is beautiful and the lake is fantastic. No one was ever bored and everyone had room space for themselves. We highly recommend this option.

Nice home, needs to be maintained better.
The home is quite impressive, pool is wonderful, lake is amazing. Unfortunately, the little things were lacking. Bath towels, hand towels, dish towels and hand soap were obsolete. The home was full of cob webs, mounted fire extinguisher was empty, exercise equipment had no power source, hot tub wouldn’t heat, downstairs oven smoked extensively when we pre heated, dishwasher needs serious help, and the media room, as nice as it looks, except the broken door and broken glass inside the cabinet, no user instructions, and when we did figure it out, the quality was so poor our kids preferred their tablets. The kicker was when the gate to the property failed I was forced to remove the arm mechanism to leave and access the property.
I was promised a good faith credit for all the BS, but several days later it’s been radio silence.
Overall, nice place, poorly maintained.

Communication with the owner was great, anytime we had a question or an issue his response was quick. There was so much space for my group and we had a great time. We did have to provide soap and paper towels in all the bathrooms and kitchen...but i can't wait to go back

Over all this was a GREAT place and so beautiful. We had some kinks to work out at first but Vladdy was quick to help resolve all our concerns. He was super nice and very willing to help. We had a wonderful 80th birthday celebration with the family! We also rented a pontoon boat one of the days and the marina was close. There is no doubt the if you stay at this property you will have a wonderful time! Thank you!

Fantastic Property and Great Owner
I was looking for a property to host myself and several friends and family member for my birthday, so needed a spacious location. This did not disappoint! The house was beautiful, well maintained and clean! Very quiet and relaxing neighborhood and right on the lake. Between the lake, swimming pool, spa, grill and the house amenities, we didn't need to stray from the house at all. And close to a shopping area for groceries as well!
Vladdy was great too. He gave very prompt responses to my questions. The spa had a small heating issue, but Vladdy was upfront and communicative about it so we were able to work it out.
Very happy with my stay.

The house was clean and the location was very private. We were disappointed because we specified we chose the listing because of the pool. The host assured us he would have it on but it was the 4th day, after many delays and promises that it was turned on. The gas stove ingniters were out so we had to light it with a lighter. One of the washers was out of order which we discovered after it failed to drain. Again the host was not very responsive. The theater was popular and the elevator was a bonus.

We were super excited about booking this home for spring break. The home is very large with plenty of room for privacy and perfect for large groups. The pluses: home size is large, boat dock is big, nice lake, spacious patio, beautiful scenery , good proximity to grocery store/gas station, and friendly owner.
The negatives were inconsistency of
Pool heater working and water level needing to be addressed regularly, no working electric at boat dock which made it impossible to
Charge boat battery, cockroaches in the home found both dead and alive, and pet feces under a table. We did notify owner of these concerns as soon as noted. Hope to be back to Lake Lanier again!

Nice big home. Steep walk to the water and dock. Would have been nice to get the hot tub Up to a higher temperature. I cleaned a Lot of leaves out of the pool. Towels and towel racks in the kitchen and bathrooms would be nice.
