Charming lakehouse on Lake Lanier with easy walk to the water
This picturesque lakehouse is short drive from Atlanta on the south side of Lake Lanier, across the water from Lake Lanier Islands. It has a spacious double level dock on deep water. The lakehouse sits as close to the water as possible. There is one covered boat slip and room to tie up two other boats on the sides of the dock. The dock sits in a pictureque protected cove on Lake Lanier. The property is quiet, surrounded by trees with an easy short walk to the dock. There is a canoe, paddleboards and multiple life jackets to enjoy the water. Or you may want to rest on the many comfortable chairs on the upper level of the dock. The views are amazing from there across the water. The property is very convenient to Atlanta and is within a 15 minute drive to the Mall of Georgia, The Bowl at Sugar Hill and Lake Lanier Islands Resort.

The weather turned a little chilly so we didn’t utilize the lake as much as we would have liked. But Scott’s place was perfect for us and the grandkids and we enjoyed hiking the nearby trails and other activities.
We enjoyed the nearby Lake Lanier Beach, fishing from the dock, the Aquatic Splash Zone in nearby Gainesville, and playing games together! It was a good family get-together! The house was roomy enough to accommodate all 10 of us and none of us had to drive too far with little ones.
Our group of 6 came for the Lake Lanier Pirate Run. Great dock area with big upper deck loungers and tables! Slip was big enough to fit our 34’ boat and tucked back in the no wake cove. View from the back porch was great, peaceful in the morning! Basement was nicely updated and full kitchen and having two bedrooms on the main floor was nice! Super responsive host. Thank you for a great stay!
We had a great time here! The dock and the lake were so fun. The place is cozy and had plenty of room for everyone. The kids loved the downstairs living area.
Our family enjoyed this home tremendously. Not only was it a beautiful location on the lake, it was very well stocked with all the essentials. The home was nicely decorated with multiple cozy areas for family to gather. The deck and dock were wonderful for outdoor meals and activities. Thank you for providing such a welcoming, comfortable home!

Charming lake cottage with AMAZING dock!
The house is an easy drive from Atlanta. Super cozy, neat and clean with responsive service and everything from the grill to the Wi-Fi to tea tree smelling shampoo. Two national chain grocery stores nearby.

Amazing Weekend
We booked this perfect home for our weekend getaway. The home is in a perfect location on the lake, and the neighborhood is nice and quiet which made for a relaxing stay. The home is very cozy and welcoming. The dock made the whole weekend! It is the perfect place to catch some sun and enjoy beautiful Lake Lanier. Everything was super smooth and we will be back!
Overall the location is great. Steps from the water. Close to shopping and dining. But the home was not clean and in disrepair. The basement was recently remodel which was a bright spot. I would not recommend.
House is charming. Stairs to upstairs bedrooms and downstairs family room would not make it ideal for small children.

Beautiful location
This property is on a beautiful location on Lake Lanier. We were hoping to do hike the trails nearby however it was too cold to be able to do that.. the house had a unusual layout. The basement was redone with a beautiful bathroom . The main floor has two bedrooms that shared a small bathroom. It had all of the needed items however, on the outside, weI had an issue with cleanliness as there were quite a few cobwebs and dust. I would recommend this property, especially for it beautiful location.
