Hvorfor folk elsker det
- Spectacular views of Lake Lanier from almost everywhere on the property
- Endless on-site activities from an 18-hole golf course to indoor axe throwing
- The heated saltwater pool and private white-sand beach access
Hurtig oversigt: The grounds and lake views are stunning, but the room decor and furniture are showing their age and desperately need a modern refresh.
Anmeldt af @sweetlori123: Our family stay at Lanier Islands Legacy Lodge was exactly the relaxing holiday escape we needed. The festive decorations in the lobby were so nostalgic, and I loved sipping my coffee on our balcony while looking out over the peaceful lake. Highly recommend for a cozy getaway!

Renhed & Vedligeholdelse
8.5
- Housekeeping: Generally thorough and reliable, though some guests wish they wouldn't knock too early on check-out day.
- Bathroom hygiene: Clean and functional, with ADA roll-in showers available, but fixtures feel dated.
- Maintenance: The biggest weak point—guests frequently report stiff sliding doors, older mattresses, and worn furniture.
- Linens & towels: Standard hotel quality; clean and fresh, but not ultra-luxurious.
- Odors & scents: Mostly fresh lake air, though a few older villas can have a slight rustic or musty cabin smell.

5 ting du bør vide før du tager af sted
💡The terrain is surprisingly hilly; walking between venues can be a serious cardio workout.
💡The $20 gate fee applies every time you bring a new vehicle onto the island.
💡There is no late-night food available on the property after the main restaurants close.
💡The lake has a fascinating (and slightly spooky) history, as an entire town was submerged to create it.
💡Winter is actually a huge draw here due to the 'License to Chill Snow Island' snow tubing hill.
