About this property

Lake Lanier home. ON LAKE w/ gentle walk to private dock. Great cove.

***WE ARE PROPERLY LICENSED BY HALL COUNTY FOR SHORT TERM RENTALS. Business License #0033073 ***

No pets allowed. We are very sorry, but our family has multiple members that are allergic and also suffer from asthma. No large gatherings or events. Maximum 7 overnight guests.

This beautiful 1600 square foot, fully furnished house with two living areas to relax in is just a 2 minute walk to the covered dock in a quiet, wonderful cove. It sits back from the street nestled in the tall trees. It has a wrap around deck to enjoy the cool quiet evenings.

Our house at the lake features hardwood floors throughout the downstairs living areas, beautiful, functional kitchen with granite counters and stainless appliances. The kitchen is fully stocked and even has a keurig and a crock pot!

There is a king bed in the upstairs master suite with a private bath and private deck. The second bedroom has a comfortable queen bed. The kids' room has a single over full bunk bed.

There are two living areas, one with a large flat screen tv, the other is just off the kitchen with two cozy chairs for reading or chatting.

There are two TV's in the house and WiFi, but also a tv for DVD's only in the kids' room. We've also provided some of our favorite board games, puzzles and a few decks of cards for quality "disconnected" family time without the distraction of electronic devices.

The house sits on a secluded cove that is wide and deep and is bordered on one side by an un-populated peninsula. This cove is big enough to play in all day and we rarely feel the need to even leave it, but we're just 5-10 minute boat ride to Gainesville Marina which has a gas dock as well as Skogies on Lanier.

The single slip dock will easily accommodate up to a 24' boat.

Our home is conveniently located just minutes from shopping at Wal-mart, Target, Kohls, Old Navy, Marshall's, Ross, Publix, Academy, Hobby Lobby, Michaels, Great dining is close by at Texas Road House, Cheddar's, Olive Garden, Wild Wings & Panera Bread.

This home has recently added a stacked washer/dryer. There is also a fabulous laundro-mat literally right across the street from the neighborhood. It is very clean and nice. You can wash multiple loads at once and be out the door in about an hour!
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

A group of my friends and I do a week of fishing together on Lake Lanier every April. For the last 3 years we have rented this house. The host, Deana, has this house well organized and equipped. Also, Deana is very responsive and quickly resolves any issue that may arise. My group looks forward to our stay here next year.

Booked our yearly fishing trip with Deana and it could not have gone better! The house, lake, and Deana were all perfect. Four men stayed at the house very comfortably and the house was well stocked, clean, easy to get to and the walk to the lake was perfect for my old man. The path was gentle, clean, and easy to get up and down. Deana was an amazing host. She was super accommodating and great communication from beginning to end. As for the fisherman this is an awesome cove. High water dock even when the lake levels were low and fish all over we didn’t have to go far to catch some big fish. 100% will stay here again and highly recommend it, thanks Deana!

The house was perfect for our stay with friends while attending the Petit Le Mans race at Road Atlanta, which is 20 minutes away. In a quiet road, the house has a lovely feel about it and was spotlessly clean with good clear instructions. Deana the owner was welcoming and really helpful with any questions we had. If we’re lucky enough to come back to this area we would definitely look to stay here again.

It’s close to many conveniences but is very quiet and seems separated from the hustle and bustle. Deana is so nice and extremely responsive to any questions.

About the host

Hosted by Deana Smith

Host profile image

After an extensive search, we purchased this lake home as a weekend getaway to enjoy all that Lake Lanier has to offer - great tubing, wakeboarding, paddle boarding, fishing and just plain floating and relaxing.

Why they chose this property

This house has it all - a great location just minutes from great shopping and dining, a nice wooded lot in a small, quiet neighborhood with a short level walk to our covered dock. Most people comment on how convenient it is to everything. You will be at restaurants and shopping centers in literally 2 minutes.

What makes this property unique

We spent over a year fully renovating this home.(2014 to early 2015) New hardwoods and carpet throughout, new lighting, new bathroom fixtures and fully renovated kitchen featuring granite counters and stainless appliances.
