Lanier Islands Legacy Lodge
$200-$350 / notte
Prenota se You want a family-friendly, activity-packed lakeside retreat with easy access to golf, boating, and water parks.
Perché piace così tanto
- 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
In sintesi: The grounds and lake views are stunning, but the room decor and furniture are showing their age and desperately need a modern refresh.
Recensito da @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!
