THE RIGHT PLACE: Plan your next getaway to a relaxing place on Lake Lanier in Cumming, Ga. Whether you are looking for a just a weekend retreat, a week escape, or even an entire month length of stay you have found the right place!
BEST LOCATION AND VIEW: Best location on the lake located in Cumming, just south of Browns Bridge near the deepest part of the lake. Our lake house has a beautiful lake view through our wall of windows on the back side of the house. Located in a quiet neighborhood so you will really appreciate the peace and quiet during your vacation. You can enjoy being out on the lake all day enjoying water sports or fishing; or you can relax on the large covered dock, fish off the dock, or lay out on the lake soaking up some sun in a private, no wake cove with little traffic. Whatever you choose, you’ll make some unforgettable memories with friends and family.
CLOSE AMENITIES: Hammonds Fishing Center, Publix grocery, North Georgia Premium Outlets, and fine dining all located within 20 minutes driving distance. Just around the corner is Young Deer Creek Park for an easy access to a boat ramp. Just a few minutes boat ride to Lake Lanier Islands and Water Park.
DESCRIPTION: This house is a three bedroom, two bath, with one queen and one full bed. Large living space with leather sofa, electric fireplace, flat screen TV, DVD player, dining area for 6 with room for 2 at the bar. Furnished kitchen with large fridge, gas stove/oven, dishwasher, microwave, toaster, and coffee maker (uses K-cups or grounds). Also has additional room with 2 twin over twin bunk beds that sleep 4, a baby crib, loveseat sofa, and TV with DVD/VCR player. One car garage on the house (there is a detached 2 car garage that will not be accessible). Stainless steel, large capacity 4.7cu ft Washer and 7.2cu ft Dryer available.
PATIOS: Two lakeside patios, one side with a masonry charcoal grill, electric grill, and seating for 2. The other side has a 6-seater Hot Tub.
THE DOCK, BEST AREA FOR SWIMMING: The walk down to the dock is easily accessible with only a slight incline and 8 steps, great for those who have a hard time with steep hills or lots of steps. You'll really enjoy the large, (34'X28') two slip covered dock. It has an amazing sunset view that you won't want to miss and the tin roof makes for a relaxing evening in the rain. Entire dock is covered; right side has fencing for little ones so they can not jump in or get through the rails and there are two infant/toddler swings. Located in a large private cove in a no wake zone, perfect for enjoying the day on the dock or swimming. Has stairs on the dock for easy entry and exit from the lake. We are in deep water, 15ft under the dock at full pool.

About Sam Thompson
This lake house has been part of my family since 1969!!Over the last 7 years we have worked hard getting it ready for others to enjoy and even added a few upgrades including an additional stand up shower and updating the kitchen. Our family has enjoyed this property making memories year after year fishing with our friends and family, swimming all day, riding on the boat, and enjoying water sports. We love visiting and enjoying the lake but when we can't be there we want others to be able to enjoy it as much as we do. We hope you feel at home and come back year after year.
Sam Thompson purchased this House in 2011

We have accommodations for children including safety latches on the doors, toys in the closet for small children, infant/toddler swings on the dock, and half of the dock is fenced in to help prevent falls into the lake.
What makes this House unique
Gated and covered dock provides a safe place for younger children to play on the water allowing parents to relax a little bit more and enjoy the trip!

Cozy and welcoming
Very convenient to the local ramp for access. Boat dock was nice with power and even one side had an extended top to protect a second Boat. Fishing was tough all week but will definitely consider this property again.
Beautiful property, calm and cozy feel, love the lake
We truly love this property and love the fact it feels so home like ! We have stayed off and on for 3 weeks during major home issues and this has been a blessing . The owner was always available and so flexible with us , and we are overly thankful ! We can not wait to stay during summer also to take advantage of swimming in the lake also ! We would highly recommend this property and we will be back again for sure !

The Thompson's home was absolutely perfect for me and my friends. Very spacious, comfy beds, a beautiful dock and lovely views to wake up to! The kitchen was awesome! We all loved it and cannot wait to rent it again for the summer and enjoy the lake!
Beautiful Home. Family stayed here and loved it.

Cute, quaint and clean lake house
Very spacious living area and nice modern kitchen. The private boat launch / floating covered deck is really nice for fishing and hanging out.
