Best central lake location! Outdoor Kitchen & Fire Ring & Private Dock

Plenty of space for your Lake Lanier vacation! Located on a huge cove, this waterfront property has views of 'big water' from the private dock and a large double slip dock with party deck on a quiet area of the lake in Gainesville, Georgia.

This spacious home would be perfect for a lake vacation in all different seasons for all types of groups. It's been used for girls trips and guys trip to golf, fish or simply hang out around the fire pit. Multi-generations gather together from different parts of the country to reconnect and be together for graduations, weddings or holidays.

Spread out on three levels with bedrooms and baths arranged for privacy and enjoy your stay in Gainesville on Lake Lanier. The property slopes to the water for an easy walk to the dock--not totally flat, but gently sloped. It is easily manageable on the well groomed path. The house is only a short drive from downtown Gainesville (10 minutes) as well as Lake Lanier Islands (25 minutes), Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta (20 minutes), North Georgia Premium Outlets in Dawsonville (25 minutes) and even Dahlonega (35 minutes).

This house has beds located on 3 levels which allows for some privacy. (Upstairs room with single beds must access bathroom through a bedroom or go downstairs.) The main living room has a wall of windows overlooking the trees and lake view through the trees, beautiful hardwood floors, and vaulted ceiling.

***For gatherings that call for double or triple the space, check out our sister properties next door VRBO# 575552 or VRBO#2784449. Ask about our guest cottage that is more like an efficiency apartment as well.***

WIFI is available and there is an office area off the foyer if you need a place to get some work done while on vacation-- then get back to the fun.

For outdoor living, there are three deck areas – two are covered--one with 3 ceiling fans--and a deck by the outdoor kitchen and fire pit. For entertainment, there are board games, a large flat screen, smart TV and a shuffleboard table on the terrace level.

While lakeside, sit on the private dock and enjoy the sun on the upper part of large party dock or stay below for more shade or fishing. Either location allows for a great view of lake activities. There are boats and jet skis for rent at various marinas on the lake, the closest being Port Royale. Feel free to bring your own boat and leave it in our boat slip at the private dock. There is room for your boat trailer in the spacious driveway.

****Please note, we do NOT allow events at the home such as weddings, or anything that brings additional people to the house other than occupants. **** MESSAGE OR CALL TO DISCUSS PRIOR TO BOOKING.
Family gatherings, couples, mature women or men's groups are fine and welcome. We strive to maintain our home in pristine condition and have found 'party events' are not in keeping with the vision for our vacation rental. Thank you for your understanding.

CALL FOR PET APPROVAL PRIOR TO REQUESTING A BOOKING. Typically we accept small, non-shedding dogs.

Beautiful Property
This property was perfect for our group of 8 adults to enjoy our annual golf getaway. There was plenty of room for all to sleep and the basement area provided plenty of entertainment for our group to enjoy during the evenings. The shuffleboard amenity gave us a two night event of a friendly tournament. Additionally, the downstairs table along with additional fridge & sink/bar area was perfect for our poker night and allowed some of us older folk to save the wear on our knees from having to travel upstairs for food or drinks while enjoying the entertainment area. The dock area was beautiful & one of our members in the group caught a decent sized Bass fairly quickly. Plenty of fish seen around the area to further enjoy if interested. The outside firepit & grill area was awesome and was used on our first night by the group. The grill was easy to use and large enough that we were able to cook 24 burgers on one cook. The owners were excellent to work with and even accomadated to some of our group that happened to be in the area as early arrivals. They checked on us the day of arrival to ensure we all arrived safely and checked to make sure we didn't have any further questions or needed anything. We absolutely loved this property and will definitely keep it top on our list for any future trips. This is definitely a property that is well worth the money for what you receive in return!!!

Wonderful property
Our multigenerational family enjoyed our spring break here with plenty of room for everyone. We enjoyed the outdoor kitchen and fire pit and the dock allowed us to bring our boat along for the fishers in the family.

The Perfect Retreat
This rental was well appointed, super clean, and accommodated 3 adult couples and a single amazingly! It is rare that you find a rental with 3 king sized bedrooms all ensuite. Not only that, if we had the kids with us, this house could have accommodated 5 of them. Wow! The three levels of this house allowed each member of our group to have their own space to retreat to, and then the living room and porch was expansive enough to allow all of us to congregate together. The driveway also easily fit 3 cars and could fit many more if necessary. Loved the peaceful dock and the alcove where the house is situated. I can't say enough about this rental, it really was perfect!

Family Thanksgiving on the lake
The house was a wonderful choice for my family of 12 to spend the week of Thanksgiving. It was large enough that we could all spread out and cooking Thanksgiving was made easy with their fully stocked kitchen. We also loved the great outdoor areas of this house.

Girl’s Weekend
We selected this property for our annual girl’s weekend as it is close to a nearby spa and winery. The home is beautiful, secluded, and well appointed with everything we needed to have an enjoyable stay. The owner lives close by and reached out multiple times prior to our arrival and after we got there to make sure everything met our expectations. Check in was super easy! The layout of the house is perfect and certainly allows plenty of room to relax and have privacy if you need for different age groups. Our group consisted of Mothers, Daughters, Sisters, and Cousins coming from 5 different locations so we enjoyed the space to be together, cook, and enjoy each other’s company. The main living space was plenty large enough for us to do this without feeling cramped. We are a family of great cooks! It’s always important to us for the kitchen to be well stocked with most everything we need to cook up a wonderful meal. This property did not disappoint! The outdoor kitchen space and adjoining patio area were beautiful and allowed us to have views of the lake. We also loved the fire pit! The porches have plenty of furniture to sit and enjoy the views and peaceful privacy. Our party of 6 really had a wonderful time at this lakeside property and would definitely recommend to others.
