About this property

Luxury Lakefront Home on South Lake Lanier - 2 Slip Party Dock with Deep Water

Welcome to the uncompromising standards, unique amenities and grace of Bluewaters Manor. We call this 5,000 square foot home a manor because of its charming design featuring shake shingles, tongue and groove ceilings and exposed beams, all in a wonderfully uplifting theme of white and cream with tasteful touches of blue. The property has a private two-level party dock, and we enjoy views of the lake from all of the main areas of the home as well as the patio.

The main level of the home, which steals your heart when you enter, entices you back to the outdoors through any of eight sets of sliding and French doors. The patio welcomes you with abundant seating and a stainless outdoor grilling area as you catch your second views of Lake Lanier.

Follow our gentle walkway to the large two-level party dock and you know where the liveliest fun will be! Here the water is always deep, the toys are plentiful and the seating is both shaded and sun-drenched. The double deck party dock is the heart of all the summer fun with abundant, stylish and comfortable sectional seating, numerous oversized umbrellas to provide shade on the top dock, and a lower level for lazing in the shade and breeze while watching the kids frolic in the lake. The views from the dock are open and lovely, the water is cool, the dock comfortable and the source of many hours of lake delight. We have a slip available for your own boat if you bring it. And, you can fish from the dock.

Wake up to a private patio or deck for your morning coffee or join the group back on the main patio, already awash in the first morning rays. The coffee is abundant with coffee for 24 from the first brew and you can sip it delighted in the knowledge that you get to do this again and again.

In the kitchen, you will find two spaces-one more for entertainment with its immense granite island, ice maker, four refrigerators and a bar for either coffee or cocktails around the corner. The second space with a third dishwasher, stove with indoor grill and second sink is more a prep area leaving the primary area open for gathering. The kitchen is equipped with everything we need and with everything you want. Everything matches. Everything works. Everything is handy.

There are four separate sitting areas in the home so that everyone can nestle into their own space when togetherness needs a break. Each of these areas is comfortable in its own way. The main living room has walls of windows overlooking the lake, an electric fireplace which you can use only for ambiance (and no heat) if you like, and HDTV and DVD. This area easily seats 8-10. The upstairs nook adjacent to the Teen Suite has a 50-inch HDTV and DVD player and is comfortable for a cozy group of five or six. The upstairs Sitting Room, possibly the most amazing room of the house, has two walls of windows looking down over the lake. It, too, has its own HD flat screen TV and DVD player, as well as a private bath. And the teens can hang out in their teen suite sitting area.

Once you decide to venture away from Bluewaters by boat or car, you will find everything you need close by--watersports (12 passenger pontoon boats, 2014 Sea Doo Sparks, paddle boards, kayaks, canoes, wake boarding and even Fly boarding and Hover boarding!), shopping, restaurants and night life.

Great golf is minutes away at the Legacy on Lanier Golf Club. The club represents a return to the Golden Era of Golf- a period from the early to mid 1900’s when designers created some of the most storied courses in the world. Created by renowned designer Billy Fuller, Legacy on Lanier Golf Club offers stunning views of Georgia’s Great Lake. An unrivaled golf experience, the layout traverses a natural setting with twelve scenic holes on the water. Legacy on Lanier Golf Club offers tactical challenges for the avid golfer while not proving too daunting for the casual golfer.

Quaint and historic Flowery Branch is minutes away. There you will find antiquing and a delightful candy store reminiscent of something from the turn of the century.

Groceries, gas, Target shopping are all conveniently bundled together and only ten minutes from the house. Everything is far enough away that you feel peace and quiet at home, but close enough that you will enjoy immense convenience and waste no time getting to and from.

Beautiful Home

We had a wonderful time at this property. It’s in a great location on the lake, close to marinas and in a cove great for swimming off of the dock. The home itself is very thought out and beautiful. We spent a lot of time lounging in the outdoor space and cooked most of our meals in the house since the kitchen was so spacious and equipped with high quality appliances. We didn’t need anything during our stay but Kandi was great at checking in to be sure we were well taken care of.

Fantastic large family venue

For our family of 16, Bluewaters was the perfect spot. We spent many hours in and on the lake. We were a short car or boat ride from many activities and the lake was perfect for swimming or lounging. The owner is delightful to work with and provides everything you could want or need.

Amazing Memorial Day Weekend to celebrate my son's high school graduation

We had such a great time and highly recommend staying here! Betsy has thought of everything and the home is absolutely beautiful. We have stayed in several different rental properties in different places and this was definitely the best and we hope to be able to stay here many more times in the future. Thank you Betsy so much for making our Memorial Weekend/Graduation celebration a wonderful memorable occasion.

Beautiful and relaxing

We stayed at Bluewaters this past long weekend as we were in town for a horse show. Our crew stayed with us in this beautifully decorated home. The parking is a bit tight but we had 2 dually trucks. Cars are fine. The view a beautiful as well. We plan on coming back end of summer for another show and would definitely stay here again. It was cold so we could not get to enjoy the outdoors and boating. Can't wait to come back in the summer and enjoy this perfect home with warmer weather. You can't go wrong with this home, VERY comfortable and roomy.

Wonderful Home!

We loved our stay in this wonderful home on the lake. Despite the bad weather, we had plenty to do. The home is beautifully furnished and easily accommodated our family. We enjoyed gathering in the large kitchen/living room area and upstairs in the bunk/game room. The views of the lake were fantastic. The kitchen was very well stocked with anything you would need to bake or cook a gourmet meal. Definitely plan to book again (hopefully with nicer weather)!

Outstanding!

One of the coolest properties we have rented on VRBO - We did not need anything once we arrived, every detail was taken care of. I would highly recommend this property. Only draw back is a power line is close to the home at no fault to the owner and water at this location on the lake can get very rough, especially on a holiday but we would definitely rent again.

Beautiful home with a wonderful view!

We rented this property with our family so we could attend my brothers wedding in Sugar Hill. There was more than adequate space! The teen suite was wonderful! My nephews enjoyed the bunk beds and the gaming system. The kitchen was well equipped as well. The dock was very entertaining as my nephews really enjoyed fishing. We all enjoyed sitting out on the deck! Thank you Kandi for keeping in communication with us! It was very easy to find, and check-in and check-out were easy.

Extremely clean! And well cared for! And an awesome double slot, double deck dock with floaties, furniture, umbrella, and more! And lake towels too! Bath towels and wash clothes so abundant we did NO laundrey and had gobs left over! Drink refrigerators, Extreme coolers, Grills, and an incredible toaster! lol Loved it!

Fantastic Lake Retreat!

We rented this home for 10 days in late August early September. We had a mixture of adult friends one weekend and a girls teenager sleep over another weekend. The house was really perfect for a family. The downstairs bedrooms felt private and the master suite was luxurious and inviting. We really appreciated the well thought out kitchen and gathering spaces. The separate bar refrigerators, ice machine and huge refrigerator and freezer made entertaining so enjoyable. The upstairs retreat is great with a beautiful den that looks out over the lake and the most amazing bunkbed set up that we have ever seen! The girls absolutely loved the bunkbed room and were happy up there all night. The dock set up was perfect for us as we brought our own boat and enjoyed the easy access to nearby lake restaurants.

Best accommodations ever for our extended family.

The property is beautiful down to the smallest detail. Each couple had their own space for privacy, yet oodles of room for all 16 of us to gather. One truly needs to bring only his clothes and personal effects. The kitchen and linen closets were completely stocked - even beach towels were provided. Lake Lanier is huge with many coves to anchor a boat and enjoy the clear water. Had a fun day at Margaritaville, where there was something for everyone to enjoy, from the 10 year old to the 82 year old. We found Aquasports a great place for boat rental and loved the grouper served at Fish Tales. Thanks Betsy for being such a wonderful hostess. You went overboard to see to our comfort. Perhaps we'll see you again in the future.

Absolutely beautiful lake home

We stayed here for a small family reunion. When the kids walked in they couldn’t stop running around in excitement. Truth be told neither could the adults. Every detail was thought of. From toys and games to luxurious bedding, soaps and every dish you need to entertain. The owner responded immediately to any concerns we had and worked hard to make sure we had a wonderful stay. I would have to say that the back “yard” is really just a steep hill. We didn’t realize that from the pictures. So there was a bit less room for the kids to run around than we thought. But they had plenty to do so itworked out fine. Thank you for being so thoughtful and accommodating! . Your home is beautiful.

Beautiful spacious home with all the perks.

We just completed our stay at Bluewaters cottage. The house is beautifully appointed with every amenity possible. We were 9 adults and 2 toddlers, yet we had plenty of room. The large kitchen/living area made it possible for all of us to hang out, cook and eat together. The spacious patio was also a great asset (and my family loves playing ping pong!!) The walk down to the water is a bit steep and although our toddlers made it holding hands, we did have an older couple that could not and we had to pick them up at the local marina to get on the boat that we rented. We all live in Florida and all have pools, yet we all loved swimming in the lake, both at the house dock area and off the boat. The water was so refreshing! There are also loads of water floats and 2 kayaks at the dock. In summary, this is a great house and location (shopping only 10 minutes away). We could have easily stayed longer!!

Memories for a lifetime! Best Family Reunion Ever!

This home suppressed all our expectations. The minute you walk in your are amazed at all it has to offer. The spacious living room, the large dinning room table and most of all the enormous kitchen. The comforts of the large patio area as you exit the kitchen with a grill that will make any man happy to bbq and a ping pong table for added fun. I can not forget to mention the Lake. The two story party deck as we called it. Beautifully decorated with sectional seating, plenty of lounge chairs and umbrellas for shade. This vacation was our 9th family reunion and all the kids agree that this has been the BEST EVER! We have rented many homes and this is our first home that has offered us with extras. For example, a pantry with various condiments, coffee, paper goods, beach towels, floating devices for the lake, fishing poles and a fully stocked kitchen. We took advantage of the lake and rented a 22 passenger pontoon boat with a slide and cruised along Lake Lanier. We also rented a speed boat and went tubing along the lake with the kids- that was loads of fun. We also had a day that we rented jet-skis, another awesome day. The weather cooperated the entire week. Another great day was at Lanier World- kids went zip-linning and enjoyed all the water slides. One of my fondest memory is seeing all the kids snuggled together in the living room watching t.v. and dancing to "Watch me Whip/Nae Nae" in the kitchen. So many memories at Bluewaters cottage for this family. Thank you for sharing your home with us and letting us create unbelievable memories.

Beautiful, spacious property with all the extras!

We just returned from a terrific week at Blue Waters on Lake Lanier. What a fabulous home. The owner's were great to work with and they had every detail and need covered. Communication before, during and after was excellent. I have been renting vacation property for the last 8 or 9 years so I have a pretty solid frame of reference. I can say without reservation the owners were as professional as they come and the home is definitely top tier. Blue Waters is great for larger groups/families who need both intimate spaces to get away- as well as areas which can accommodate a large group. The home itself was very spacious and quite nice- the pictures do not do it justice. The kids absolutely loved the kid's suite! I live on the water in Florida so the lake was not a huge draw, but I was pleasantly surprised. Lake Lanier is awesome water. Clean, clear and absolutely a perfect temp! We brought our jet ski and opted to leave our boat behind. Rented one for a day- which was well worth it. The location on the lake is ideal- close to big water, but located in a sheltered cove- perfect. The two story boathouse/party dock was great and just across the inlet the kids found a rope swing. (Straight out from the boat house, about 100 yards across the water on the right). They provide everything you need to enjoy the water. Lots of floats and toys for everyone. Plenty of sun deck seating and covered area as well- something for everyone's taste. The things that differentiated Blue Waters from other homes I have rented were the little extras the owners provided to raise our stay a couple notches. They provided everything you needed and lots of "stuff" that was just really nice to have. The welcome basket, coffees, snacks, the huge bars of natural soap. and endless bath and beach towels. We never seem to have enough towels- they did! Wonderful home, great water and owners who clearly take pride in providing a special experience for their guests. We generally do not do repeat stays at a property because there is so much else out there to see and experience. I would however, consider returning to Blue Waters. I highly recommend this property- truly an exceptional experience.
