About this property

Most Primo Spot on Lanier - Family Fun & Location, Location, Location!

Tucked in to a cove just a 5 minute boat ride to Gainesville Marina and minutes by car to all the conveniences of groceries and restaurants in downtown Gainesville is this quiet and majestic 3-acre lake property. A blessing for families who desire a place to escape and get away. Guests have plenty parking including boat trailer storage and will stay on the terrace level where every room has beautiful views of Lake Lanier. Just off the patio is a fire pit and a hot tub for your use. Your reserved boat slip is just a short gradual walk off the back porch.

To be clear, my wife and I live on the upper floor and guest stay in the private terrace below that has a separate driveway, entrance, patio fire pit, outdoor griddle and hot tub ... all within view and a short easy walk to the lake.

Excellent Stay

The owner's communication is top-notch. The rental is downstairs, but still very private. The grounds and unit are very neat & tidy. There is a nice sundeck at the dock, a hot tube, a fire pit, and a nice covered porch with comfy outdoor furniture. Room 1 has a king bed, Room 2 has a queen bed, and the nook between Room 2 and the bathroom has a twin bunkbed. There is an additional sink vanity outside of the bathroom making it easy to "get ready" if someone is using the restroom. The kitchen has a nice table, a hot plate, coffee maker, microwave, air frier/toaster oven, and a full-sized refrigerator. The owner's provide plenty of supplies. I have no complaints. I would return to this property.

Location & views

We thought this location was perfect and the view of the lake was nice. I would have given it five stars if the beds would have been comfortable, but we couldn’t sleep well and the pillows weren’t great either. Other than that, it was a cozy place.

Very Nice Property

You are renting the basement of the home. It has views of the lake and a large property. The owners are very nice and friendly. You do hear them walking around upstairs. You have privacy and can come and go as you wish. It is a relaxing getaway spot and I would stay again.

Wonderful Fun and Relaxing

I rented this for my son and his family for his birthday. They said it was above and beyond what they expected. The owners were very nice and the property was accessable to them kayaking , roasting mashmallows , going to town and just quiet to enjoy from working all the time. Highly recommend .

Quiet retreat

I was in town for business and it was amazing to wake up with a lake view every morning! My friend was able to bring her two small dogs and we loved it. The owners were lovely and easy to communicate with throughout our stay.

Location, Beauty, Relaxation & Fun!

We live locally and wanted a fun relaxing weekend with family at the lake. We brought our boat, dog, nieces & grand daughter. Everyone had fun. We enjoyed all the provided toys including the paddle boards, lilly pad, floats, & hot tub. The kids loved jumping off the dock and the view from inside was almost as beautiful as the one from the dock. I think we will be returning in the Fall to enjoy more boat rides and the amazing fire pit. The owners live upstairs and even though some footsteps can be heard occasionally there is still plenty of privacy. Claudia & Mark were great hosts being friendly & informative while still giving us our space. We highly recommend this property.

The property was clean, relaxing inside and out and the hosts were super friendly (we got to chat a bit with Mark) - so welcoming. Thank you for a great place to stay, relax and visit with our family while in town for a graduation at RMA. It made our trip even better!!

exceeded expectations

The house was very clean and comfortable for us. It has 1 King room, 1 Queen room, and then bunkbeds off the living room in a nook near the bathroom. We weren't expecting 2 bedrooms, so this was a pleasant surprise. For cooking there is no dishwasher or oven/stove, but there is an air fryer, hot plate, toaster, coffee machine and 2 grills (one of them a blackstone) right outside under cover. Walking from parking to the entry and from the home to the dock was an easy hill. We met the Owner's and they were very welcoming and offered their availability if we needed or had any questions. Deep water at the dock, good for swimming and boating. Will definitely come back one day!

Great stay at Lake Lanier

Everything you could need was at rental. Loved being right on the lake. Deck on top of dock with loungers is a nice place to catch some sun. Appreciated having amenities such as hot tub and fire pit. Great location close to groceries and restaurants.
