Good to know

This wonderful home provides you with two full floors of spacious comfort. The first floor is the main hangout area featuring a living room with a gas fireplace for the cooler months. There is a game room stocked with all of our favorites. Of course, there is the kitchen. This one is very well stocked and connects to the eat-in area for casual and the formal dining room for more upscale meals. There is also a convenient half bath. Don't forget the roomy 10' x 20' rear deck overlooking the lovely woods and creek. It features an outdoor dining set and conversation area along with a big ol' barbeque grill. All bedrooms are on the second floor. It features an enormous primary room with a king bed and bath which includes a large office area as well as a cozy sitting/reading space. The "Mint" queen bedroom is attached to the upstairs full bath. It has a wonderful view of the woods behind the house and features a walk-in closet. The other two bedrooms have access to the bathroom from the hallway. The other queen guest room "The Florida Room" is across the hall. It features a beautiful cherrywood bedroom suite and also hosts a walk-in closet. At the end of the hall, you'll find "Kid Central" or the bunk room. It features two awesome bunk bed towers, and a big screen for their viewing fun, or for connecting their game console. There is also a great play area for the little ones at the other end of the room, featuring their very own food truck. Ok, so it's really just a tent, but they'll LOVE it. They'll also find additional toys and playthings in the walk-in closet. There is a garage available for your convenience. That kind of sounds boring compared to the rest of the home. There is a basement apartment that can also be utilized if you have a larger gathering. We do not allow parties as we have neighbors who want to keep the neighborhood pristine and quiet. The basement apartment may or may not be hosting other guests when you come to stay. It has its parking area on the left side of the circular driveway and a private entrance on the left side of the home. Usually, when we stay at the house, we never see the basement guests coming or going. We added soundproofing in the basement ceiling and staircase to hopefully prevent sounds from going between the two units. Here is the link if you would like to utilize that unit too: https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/1069591213665676854

Other Details to Note

There is a Publix grocery store less than 5 minutes from the house. You will also find oodles of restaurants in any direction you would choose to explore. If you forget any items there is a Target and a Walmart very close by. This property is located at the rear of a very quiet subdivision on a cul-de-sac that backs to trees and a creek. The home is close to shopping, 5 minutes from the Mall of Georgia, restaurants, and 15 minutes from Lake Lanier. It is located conveniently between I-85 and I-985. This home hosts two separate and private units that may or may not be utilized by other guests during your stay. We have added soundproofing between the apartment and the main house floor to help reduce and hopefully eliminate sounds from the other unit. You will love this home away from home. The way the home is built, when we stay there, we rarely see the other guests coming or going.

There is is thick woods behind the home with a gentle stream running through. Sitting on the back deck is great place to enjoy a wonderful connection with nature.....or read a great book.....or eat.....or just sip some wine....or whatever.

We loved our stay and this beautiful home. Thank you for allowing our stay. It was close to everything we needed and kept us off the busy Atlanta area roads. We are often in the area and will look first at your place for our stays in the future.

A fabulous stay with every imaginable amenity imaginable! I highly recommend staying with Cleves for the immaculate accommodations, ease of communication, and wonderful sense of humor. There aren’t enough good throngs to say about this home. You won’t be disappointed!

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful home. It was spacious and perfect for accommodating our large family during a weekend trip for a funeral. The house had everything we needed — truly felt like a home away from home. The host was incredibly responsive and helpful throughout our stay. We’re so grateful and will definitely book again in the future!

This home is PERFECT. Has everything you need, close to the city but not too close (perfect location). I travel with my family and my 2-year-old nephew and he enjoys every single corner of the house. We definitely come back. We love this home!!!

Wonderful place in Buford! We came into town for a family funeral under unfortunate circumstances but felt right at home throughout the weekend. Wonderfully stocked kitchen, game area, and kids play room! My daughter who is three and raved about the toy selection ❤️ My family owned and operated a B&B in Western North Carolina for almost three decades, so we have high accommodation standards that were easily met! Our go-to option for family visits in Buford, will definitely stay again.

This house was immaculate! it looked like the photos too. It had everything you would need and more. Lots of space with plenty of beds. My grandkids loved the play room with all kinds of new toys to play with. They enjoyed putting a puzzle together at the game table. It's has a well stocked kitchen and plenty of towels. You won't be disappointed.

The Cleves were the absolute Best!!!! This had been our greatest experience with airbnbs. From start to finish, the communication was perfect, the home was top notch and I would say a replica if not better than the pictures on the website. The kids loved the toy room :) Their home had everything we needed to be comfortable and was 10 minutes from my brother’s home in Buford. We visit Georgia at least 3 times a year and going forward this will be our go to place when we need to accommodate guests. I would highly recommend this home if you are looking for something that is affordable, clean to perfection, comfortable and convenient. Thank you for allowing me and my family to stay at your Beautiful home for Thanksgiving! Akintoye
