About this property

***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!

Great house on Lake Lanier

Good location with a dock on Lake Lanier. It is near a number of boat ramps near the middle of the lake. The house is very clean, comfortable, organized and well stocked.

Winter Get Away

We found the rental as described. It was clean, and in a quite neighbourhood. It is close to good shopping, but when you are at the rental it seemed like it was miles from any retail areas. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a quite location, but still has good shopping close by. If we are ever in the area again, we would most likely stay again.

Christmas

Everything was wonderful. Came in from Texas to spend Christmas with family who live in Gainesville. Deanna checked with us to make sure we were in and even sent us a "Happy New Year" greeting. She made it clear to contact her if there were any issues. 5-Star. Would have made it more stars if I could have. House is well equipped.

Great Space & Location

Spent the weekend with my older daughter, 2 grandbabies and 16 year old son. He completely enjoyed the paddleboard! Plenty of games and fun for the littles :) Beds and furniture were very comfortable. We had everything we needed. The owner was amazing.... any question I had was promptly answered. Definitely recommend!

What a gem!

We were in the Atlanta area for a baseball tournament and really enjoyed our stay at this house. Plenty of space in the house and we loved the time on the dock and floating in the lake. We brought our jet skis and there was plenty of space for them on the dock. Our entire family enjoyed themselves and Deana is an amazing host! Highly recommend this property!!

About the host

Hosted by Deana Smith

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.
