About this property

Hidden Gem on Lake Lanier in Beautiful North GA Mtns Making Memories Since 2015

Hidden Gem - Chestatee is a beautiful, well-appointed lakehouse cabin located in the scenic North Georgia Mountains on Lake Lanier, just 45 miles from downtown Atlanta. With convenient access to shopping, dining, golf courses, wineries, and outdoor activities, it offers the perfect balance of relaxation and adventure. Whether you're here for a vacation, work retreat, or a family getaway, this spacious cabin has everything you need for an unforgettable experience.

Perfect for Remote Work and Schooling:
Hidden Gem is designed for remote work and schooling with fast cable internet, allowing you to enjoy breaks with lake activities, hiking, shopping, or exploring the area. The 3-story layout ensures everyone has their own space, with 4 bedrooms—each with an attached bath. The cabin features a well-equipped kitchen with granite countertops, a dining area with a 12-foot bench wall and large table, and a cozy family room with a wood-burning fireplace, open to a 3-sided glass sunroom that offers stunning views of the lake. It's the perfect spot for bird watching, relaxing with coffee, or simply taking in the beautiful surroundings.

Outdoor Enjoyment:
Enjoy outdoor dining and relaxation on the large covered porch, upper deck, or in intimate seating areas around the property. A short walk leads you to a private platform dock situated in deep water, ideal for boating, fishing, or enjoying water sports. The secluded cove and clear water, fed by the Chestatee River, provide a refreshing lake experience. For those who enjoy fishing, you’ll love the abundance of bait fish right off the dock. The surrounding woods are perfect for exploring, and the dock area is equipped with water toys for your enjoyment.

Step into nature with a lovely walk through the woods right in your own backyard. My neighbor cleared a large section of land along the lake trail to the dock on your right, creating a vast area with paths winding up & down & all around. Such a great area for children & furry friends to run and play. She maintains the trail throughout the year so it’s always ready to enjoy.

Local Attractions:
With local marinas offering boat rentals during the warmer months, you're just minutes away from Gainesville Marina (20 minutes by boat or car) and other options like Port Royale, Aqualand, Holiday, and Bald Ridge Marinas. You can also bring your own boat and easily access Athens Boat Club, only 7 minutes away by boat.

Hidden Gem - Chestatee is within 20 minutes of wineries, hiking trails, waterfalls, and golf courses, with shopping and dining options just a few miles away. Explore the charming towns of Dahlonega, Alpine Helen, and Cleveland, or visit Brasstown Bald, all within 20-35 miles.

If you need more space for your group, I have another lakehouse just as enjoyable and comfortable a few houses down:

***VRBOs local activities map indicates an 18 minute walk to the lake however it is actually a one minute path to my dock on the lake.

Additional Features:

Whether you're looking for a family retreat, a corporate getaway, or a romantic escape, Hidden Gem - Chestatee provides the perfect setting for all kinds of events and vacations. If you need more space, I also have another lakehouse just a few houses down (VRBO #1032449, Lake Lanier Getaway).

About the host

Hosted by Wendy Brand

Host profile image
I grew up in Atlanta and love hosting and making new friends along the way. I'm a Berry College alum majoring in Education and Psychology, with a Master's degree from North Georgia College & University in Education, Interrelated Education, and Psychology. I enjoy my 'kids' of 22 & 20, I have a habit of keeping the sidewalks down around towns due to miles & miles of running every morning, I love reading, learning about others & building relationships, cooking and playing piano. My newest addition is Pelotoning and kinda thinking one is needed at the lakehouse!

Why they chose this property

Born & raised in Atlanta comes with a love and admiration for Lake Lanier & its intriguing history, as well as the North Georgia Mountains. When I was a child, my grandma would tell me interesting stories of the beginnings of Lake Lanier and loved everything she shared with me. As a native Atlantan, I enjoy the comforts and memories of Lake Lanier and hope you will also.

What makes this property unique

One of my favorite unique features of Hidden Gem is the sunroom with wrap around windows overlooking the beautiful trees and lake. It brings a sense of calm and peace on beautiful mornings and evenings. Another favorite is the storybook feel it has outside as well as inside. And finally, the private sloping driveway gives a feeling of privacy. There are many more unique opportunities to find.
