Other Notes:

☆☆Liability Waiver☆☆



☀ The terrain on Lake Lanier ranges from gentle slope to very steep. The flatter the walk, the shallower the water. The walk to our docks is considered moderate sloping for this lake. My parents, both in their 70s, handle the walk just fine.

☀ Please be careful as it is a lake property with uneven surfaces, slope & steps. Negligence may cause a slip and fall, and care must be taken, especially with younger children.

☀ Also, you understand the potential dangers and risks associated with water activities, dock access and take appropriate safety precautions, and assume responsibility for yourself and any consequences caused by your party. There is no lifeguard on duty so swim at your own risk.

☀ Children under 13 should wear a life jacket around the water. We provide life jackets, but may not have them in every size



More info:

☀ If inclement weather occurs, the umbrella by the outdoor fireplace needs to be closed, and the outdoor furniture needs to be covered.

☀All dock items and lake toys should also be put back to avoid a fee. ☀Follow checkout instructions - check for personal items.

☀ Bag all trash and put it in outside trash can - Wednesday pick-up

☀Please disclose pets at the time of reservation. Pit Bulls, Doberman Pinschers, and Rottweilers are not allowed due to insurance liability. Gwinnett County law requires dogs to be on a leash. The pet fee is $200.00 for up to 2 dogs.

☀NO cats, due to severe allergies.

Absolutely the best. The home is attractive, well located, beautifully decorated, and homey in the best sense of the word. There is something for everyone to do including paddle boards & kayaks in the lake just outside the back door, and many games. We loved it.

Quick Fall Break Getaway

The property exceeded our expectations. The pictures truly don’t do the property justice, it was very well designed & thought out. It was very comfortable & well stocked with all the essentials you would ever need. The communication with the owners was also great, they were on top of everything & very attentive. We will definitely be back the next time we are looking for a quick getaway.

Wonderful Home

We so enjoyed our stay at the Blue Lagoon and highly recommend it to anyone considering a Lake Lanier vacation. It is beautifully decorated and a perfect home base as we navigated a week of daily baseball tournaments all around the Atlanta area. It was a great location to unwind and keep the boys off their phones as they enjoyed fishing off the dock, kayaking and paddle boarding not to mention the rope swing they discovered across the cove. The owners were wonderful to work with as well with exceptional communication through out our stay. The kitchen was also very well appointed which the moms truly appreciated! Thank you for sharing this lovely home!

Spectacular Wedding Weekend!

Listing was accurate. Very quiet neighborhood and No Wake Cove. Loved the woods down to the docks which provided much desired shade and breezes off the water. Everybody loved the beds and sheets! Sound system was off the charts, even down at the dock. Everyone enjoyed kayaking, paddle boards, and swimming right from the dock. The host was very responsive and accommodating. We have a family of 7 adults and had plenty of room. Would highly recommend this property!

10/10 Experience!

This is a remarkable property for all occasions! I was lucky enough to be here for Thanksgiving and to celebrate a 65th birthday with my family of 6. The kitchen was extremely well equipped, appliances were updated and the entire property was extremely clean and comfortable. Tons of sitting areas so we all felt together but never on top of one another. The Sonos sound system worked flawlessly and allowed us to listen to music in any room of the house and on the dock. We had beautiful weather and really enjoyed the outdoor sitting areas and swinging down by the water. As an added plus, there were tons of hangers in all the closets, the mattresses and sheets were luxurious and the white noise machines allowed for great sleep all around. Would absolutely stay here again!

No Limits 55th Birthday Getaway!

From the moment I became interested in this property to celebrate my birthday and had a few questions, the host immediately replied. Communication was exceptional and it put my mind and nervous energy at ease because this was the first time I personally booked a stay. Upon arrival, the property was spotless and smelled great. Immaculate is an understatement! Everything you need is in this home: games, essential TV apps, kitchen accessories, peace, quiet, and love. We were able to prepare brunch and literally had everything we needed, cookware, serving utensils, even seasonings. If you need to relax, this is the place to be. If you need to spend quality time with family or friends, this is the place to be. If you want to get away from reality for a few days, this is the place to be. There is literally something to do for everyone. Because it rained, we did not get to use the outdoor fireplace but that's okay, it just means we need to visit again. The only downfall for me was that my friends and I had to leave. Bottom line, I highly recommend!

Exceeded our Expectations with Amazing Attention to Detail!

Great property for our family with our three married children, their spouses and our babygranddaughter. The location on the lake was great with an open view to a large inlet, and the dock provided a great place for us to moor our tri-toon for the duration of our stay. The house has been totally updated and was tactfully decorated and modern. Everything was of very high quality - TVs, sound system, inside and outdoor furniture, and appliances. The kitchen was small but was very well stocked with everything we could want. The beds were all very comfortable and included very high quality bedding. We used the upper deck extensively, and really appreciated the gate that allowed our dogs to be contained. The deck umbrella was great; of very high quality like everything else! Check-in was easy, and I appreciated the way Britta checked-in via VRBO messaging just to make sure everything was good. We've rented houses for the past several years with our family as well as with friends, and this absolutely the house with the greatest attention to detail of them all - everything was super nice, in great condition and super clean. While we had zero problems during our stay, it was clear that if anything had come up, it would have been addressed immediately. Can't say enough great things about this property. We will absolutely rent again if we come back to Lake Lanier!
