Our pal at the Lake Lanier Convention & Visitors Bureau, Stacey Dickson, has the coolest job. Here’s the latest…
CMT (Country Music Television to folks who read The New York Times and say things like “if you will”) is looking for a house to rent on Lake Lanier to film a “Reality/Action/Adventure Series” on Lake Lanier.
CMT needs the house to rent on Lake Lanier from mid-August until mid-October. Location scouts will be in the area by the end of June to kick the tires on a few homes before they make their selection.
This is What They’re Looking For
- Unfurnished large house OR cabins near/on Lake Lanier
- Something updated, not rustic
- Spacious rooms with high ceilings
- Five or more bedrooms
- Distant from neighbors
- Large property or near large areas (probably so they can blow things up without getting your nosey neighbors in a dang tizzy, but that’s only a guess).
The Good News
- They’ve budgeted $55,000 for the two-month rental.
- “Additional funds available for challenge locations on open land and water.”
The Bad News
If you are a teenager who would LOVE to rent out your parental units’ home while they vacation in wherever, forget it. Everybody tries that. You can also forget about hiding in the attic and/or basement and popping out during a really cool scene with your favorite actor. They’ve thought of that too. Sorry.
How to Respond
- E-mail photos of the exterior and interior (wide angles and panoramic preferred) of YOUR house.
- Thanks, but offering to rent somebody else’s house for $55k only works on Craigslist.
- Include the address, name, phone and e-mail of the contact person who is a decision maker about the rates and availability of the property. See #2 above.
- E-mail it all to our pal Stacey: [email protected]
The Fine Print
If your home is chosen, you probably have nothing to worry about. Your home will probably not be blown up or catch fire or have missiles fired into it. But, you never know. Please be flexible. Thank you.
