The SailAway lakehome is located on beautiful Lake Arrowhead Georgia nestled in the foothills of the Great Smokey Mountains just north of Atlanta, Georgia. Located only 1 hour north of Atlanta, makes this the perfect getaway for the week or quiet three day weekend!
Lake Arrowhead is a private lake/community with over 540 acres of a clear mountain spring water lake making this the largest private lake in Georgia. The community offers a wide range of activities including Golf, horse back riding, swimming, and tennis.
This lake front home is located on Lake Arrowhead GA with a dock, which is perfect for swimming, fishing, and sunning. With 4 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms, the house will accommodate 8 - 10 people comfortably. Not only does the lake house come fully equipped with all the necessary furnishings, we also offer a luxurious 6 person hot tub on the top deck with a beautiful view of the lake!
Lake Arrowhead is a private, gated community that contains the largest man made lake in Georgia. Lake Arrowhead offers gorgeous scenic mountain terrain overlooking the community's crystal clear 540 acre spring-fed lake. Because it is continuous spring feed lake, the water level rarely fluctuates over a foot.
During a recent water quality test, it was reported the lake was one of the cleanest in Georgia. No septic systems are allowed on the lake and the dam is a spill-over which helps remove floating debris keeping this lake sparkling.
Your travels throughout the community will take you past several breathtaking scenic overlooks with a view of the lake, rolling hills, and golf course. Lake Arrowhead offers a championship 18-hole golf course, driving range, horse stables, an Arrowhead shaped swimming pool, tennis courts, and a club house with restaurant overlooking the lake.
Make sure you stop by the covered bridge at the south entrance before dusk. The deer are grazing in the water just under the bridge. This is a perfect opportunity for a quick photo and then move down the hill and park on the dam to take a few snapshots of the sun setting into the mountains while overlooking the lake.

Why the Owner Chose Waleska
This lake house is close to Marietta, which is where we live, and Atlanta. The water level rarely fluctuates, even in a drought, and the water is crystal clean.
Lake Arrowhead is a private lake that you have to have access to fish in. That is why the lake is so full of large fish.
The Unique Benefits at this Lake House
At the lake house you will be one hour from the city but feel like you are thousands of miles away. New kitchen, Spa, and new king size beds await your stay.
Over 5 miles of walking trails await you. Connecting the lake to the clubhouse. New tunnel added and deep woods await.
The pool is just right for you and your family to enjoy. Located next to the pool are the tennis courts.
The new beach includes a playground and plenty of parking. Sailboats and small power boats are available for rent.
The new championship Highlands Course opened to rave reviews in fall 2008! It is now considered one of the best new golf courses in Georgia.
Swimming Pool, Batting Cage, Large Field, and Large Play Ground are waiting for you and your kids.

My wife and I spent our anniversary here this past month. We had a wonderful time. It is not that far, but far enough from the Atlanta busy-ness. The location is beautiful. The kitchen is brand new, and the jacuzzi is a great addition to the relaxing atmosphere. Fully recommend this to anyone who would like to just get away for a few days. (or longer!)

We had a fantastic time over our long October weekend. We did not expect to be able to do any swimming, but, even in the colder Fall breeze, the kids couldn't resist jumping in quite a bit. The house was very clean and comfortable for our family and friends. We loved the views and quiet serenity of the lake, especially in the evenings. Bob's communication was fantastic throughout our stay. The best part is that we were home in less than an hour! So close to Atlanta, yet seemed so far away.

My husband and I were looking for a peaceful getaway not too far away from Marietta - and your home with the beautiful lake front view was wonderful. The cooler, overcast day made for a very relaxing and enjoyable boating day with our friends who live in the area. Maybe next time we will bring the kids!! Thanks again for sharing your home with us

Once a year our family gets together at some vacation destination, and this was the best yet. The cottage was a fantastic place for our "reunion", everyone was happy! (not easy to accomplish!) The kids (aged 3 - 19) enjoyed hanging out in the playroom downstairs, in the hot tub and on the dock. We all had plenty of room, but somehow we'd all end up on the deck at night watching little storms roll in over the water...beautiful!! We had so much fun just hanging out on the dock and in the water. We love that we can jump right off the deck into the deep water - and that the water was so warm. The kids played on the tubes, toured the lake in the paddleboat and did a lot of fishing off the dock - and we caught a lot of fish! Renting the pontoon boat was another highlight. The kids all went tubing and had a great time seeing who could stand on the tube the longest. It was pretty funny. Lake Arrowhead is beautiful, unspoiled and so peaceful, we couldn't believe we were only an hour away from Atlanta. We felt like we were hours away! The cottage had great views of the lake and it was comfy for the whole family. All the cousins, aunts and uncles agree that we definitely want to go back to this cottage next year! Thanks so much!

We booked the house and received all the needed instructions from Bob. We had a hard time finding the house at night but when we did arrive at the house it was worth it. Wonderful views of the lake and mountains. The water was clear and warm. The house is very comfortable and furnished nicely. All the beds are new and king size. The kitchen has new appliances. We rented the pontoon boat and had a great time. I would recommend this house to anyone that does not mind stairs. :-). This is a great place to relax and get away from it all..... Andy

We just loved staying at your lake house. My family and I enjoyed our time and want to come back again. It rained the first day but the weather was great the rest of the week. My son caught three large fish from the dock. He had a blast. We went swimming every day and took the paddle boat out ever chance we could. The golf course was wonderful even though we lost a few balls. We will try and make it back next year. The house exceeded our expectations.
