About this property

The Shoreland Home on Lake Lanier With Dock

Windows everywhere make it feel like a tree house, on the lake. Our families home is all about family & friends gathering and having fun. The spaces in the home are very socially engaging. Take an easy 45 second, walk to the lake in our quite cove and go for an evening canoe, its pretty special. Bring your own boat and tie up at the dock if you prefer. The creek in the back of the home, that flows into Lake Lanier, is lightly active and creates a nice soundtrack for evenings on the back decks. The home has amazing fast internet, streaming media on the televisions, SONOS whole home audio system, games for the whole family, gas grill, multiple decks to enjoy the wooded setting by the lake, foosball table and a kitchen that is very well appointed. At Lanier Vacation Rentals our goal is to provide a 5 star level of service experience beyond anything you you would expect. Send us a note and let us know how we can make your experience 5 star!


The "FULL POOL" LAKE LANIER LAKE LEVEL is 1,071' above sea level. At full pool there is 5'6" of water under the dock. We have no warning of the Army Corps of Engineers plan regarding control of lake levels. Guests should check to make sure this elevation is appropriate for their needs. Spring / Summers are typically at or above Full Pool. At full pool we can hold most any motor boat on the lake and most sailboats under 30', ALL without any issue. Double check lake level elevations online, to see if the current levels meet your needs.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

The home was perfect for our needs and all was as presented in VRBO. Very comfy beds, clean and nice open floor plan. We did have some problems with the refrigerator which Scott addressed immediately and with great concern and good communication.

Quite possibly our favorite of all residences we have enjoyed. This house was roomy and nicely appointed. Every need we could have had been anticipated as though they had known us well. My husband, our adult son and I were visiting our son and family in the area and this was most convenient for both us and them. Nicely located. The decks, etc. were as lovely as the house as we had delightful weather. The bedrooms were quiet and we noted how comfortably we slept. We highly recommend this home for a memorable stay.

Wonderful Family Holiday

We travelled to Lake Lanier to spend time with family over the holidays. This was such a cozy house with a warm fireplace and big table for family meals and game nights. We really enjoyed our visit and would love to come back in the summer when we can enjoy the lake even more.

Spring Break Vacation

Our family had a great time staying at this property for our spring break vacation. The kids loved the "big room" upstairs, and spent lots of time fishing from the dock. The screened in porch was great for reading and relaxing. The kitchen was well appointed, and the great room and dining room had beautiful views of the lake and trees. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Peaceful retreat

The home is amazing. The area is peaceful and quiet. We enjoyed our family retreat and loved the outdoor screened patio with fire place, a great spot to talk and nap. The rooms were spacious and we all loved the various sitting areas, both inside and out to talk, read, play games and eat. The house was clean and well maintained. Our host responded quickly to any questions we asked. We would highly recommend!
