Very cozy home with most everything you would need.Loved that they accepted a large dog who was very happy there. Good location to stores and shops. We were partially snowed in so the fact she had all the tv channels you would need and a wood burning fireplace makes relaxing,reading or quiet time.

We had a wonderful stay at the Cozy Cottage. The location is peaceful and relaxing, making it the perfect place to unwind. The home is absolutely charming and was beautifully decorated for Christmas, which added a festive and welcoming touch to our trip. The lake is just a short walk down the yard, and the fenced area was ideal for our dogs. The furniture was noticeably more comfortable than what you typically find in short-term rentals, and the kitchen was well-stocked and thoughtfully equipped. We truly enjoyed our stay and would happily return again.

Cottage was extremely clean and quiet! I truly felt like my dog was welcome as there was a water bowl by the door and some spare tennis balls available. The Christmas decorations and lights on the house added a nice touch and made the stay feel extra cozy- as close to being home as possible! The kitchen was well stocked and I appreciated the option of having Keurig or Nespresso coffee in the mornings. I will 100% stay here again if I am in the area.

The Cozy Cottage lake home is truly charming, and Kim was an exceptional host. The fenced-in yard was perfect for our Australian Shepherds, and the house itself was very clean and well-appointed—especially the kitchen. We were able to prepare our Thanksgiving meal and enjoy spending time with family at the Cozy Cottage. Kim’s holiday decorations made the home feel especially warm and inviting. It was a relaxing getaway, and we’re already looking forward to returning. Definitely an A experience!

We can't say enough good things about our stay at the Cozy Cottage on Lake Lanier! Kim is an incredible host and the house was furnished with everything you could need or want. We were thrilled to be able to bring our dog Yogi and host family for BBQs at the lake. We made so many wonderful memories, that we'll look back on for years to come. Swimming off the dock kept us cool and the kayaks and paddleboard were fun for play. The beds are so comfy. We look forward to coming back again!

This was our first trip to Lake Lanier, and it did not disappoint. The house/cottage was fabulous. Immaculate inside when we walked through the door. Beautiful location right on the water and steps to the dock. The owner, Kim, was gracious enough to meet us after we arrived, show us around inside, and give us directions to the boat ramp, as our son and myself planned to spend the week on the water bass fishing. The cottage was just like being at home. It had all the comforts of home and if it wasn’t inside the house you didn’t need it. Kim is a phenomenal person and has 3 beautiful dogs! We love dogs! We will definitely return to this house and this lake. Thank you Kim!!

Very Cozy

My family and I really enjoyed our fishing trip to the lake to celebrate my 40th birthday. The place was amazing, but the weather decided to not cooperate. To help us feel more Cozy, Kim had the fire ready to go when we arrived and had a Happy Birthday sign up over the fireplace. It really made the trip special, and we enjoyed catching fish off the dock and hanging out in this amazing cottage. There was plenty of space for my 11 yr old son and 3 other family members/friends. I would highly recommend this property, it has everything you need. Next time I think I'll try to make it in the summer when it's warmer so I can make use of the kayaks and canoe. Thanks so much!

Best Host Ever!!!

Got to the property & found that there was no electricity at the dock to charge our pontoon boat overnight. Kim, our host went intp super host mode & immediately went & purchased a 200.00 electric cord to the dock that didn't work, wrong grade. Kim then went to her neighbor who allowed her to hook into his boat dock eletrical system in order for us to be able to charge our boat. She then vowed that she was going to do whatever needed to make sure there would be permanent eletricity at the dock for others who may bring a boat that needed charging. My wife & I agree that there have been several host that we have had over the years that would not have done what Kim did for us. Thank you so much for being a super host in our eyes.

This was a wonderful property for our family of 3 and 2 beagles traveling from PA to visit family in the nearby area. Kim is a fantastic host, excellent communication and truly wants your stay to be the best it can. She had recommendations for boat rentals and made sure we could still dock close by with the lake being low. We highly recommend and will absolutely stay at this property again. It has everything you need for an enjoyable stay.

Perfect Get-Away

My husband,2 pups, and I stayed here last week and the whole place was so cozy and wonderful. The property is situated on a beautiful piece of land with trees, flowers, and lake views. Access to the lake/dock was an easy walk down a gravel path. The interior was perfect- we enjoyed a cozy fire every morning and evening in the large wood-burning fireplace and the hot tub was a great treat. Our two doggos loved the fenced in back yard and seeing the squirrels, geese, and deer. This home is very well stocked with comfortable and soft bedding and towels. The kitchen was fully stocked with all of the necessities for cooking your own meals, and there are plenty of dishes and nice cookware. Kim was an outstanding host. She was so responsive and ensured we had everything we needed, and had a few nice personal touches for us when we arrived. This place has tons of windows and we found it to be comforting, relaxing, private, beautiful, and convenient. The trees had turned to fall colors during our stay and the outside space was just as lovely as the indoor space. There was plenty of seating (indoors and out), it was clean, and well-organized. If a house could give you a hug, this one is it!

We are delighted and thank you for such an amazing review. Our hearts are so happy to be able to share a piece of wonderful memories growing up. Our animals have also been a big part of our family and we know how difficult it can be, miles apart from them; which gives us more pleasure for you to be able to bring your furry friends. Although the leaves are beautiful we hope you will return to enjoy all the amenties our lake has to offer during the summer months. We are so happy you enjoyed our Cozy Cottage. Thank you!

What makes this property unique

Very secluded ~ Easy 100 feet to the lake ~ 2 miles to Ga 400 and 1 mile to all the retail, grocery stores ~ 1/2 mile to boat ramp ~ Very large 2 bedroom home (sleeps 4) ~ Inside fireplace. Fenced yard for your pets!
