If you need more space for your group, I have another lakehouse just as enjoyable and comfortable a few houses down, VRBO #1032449

You have found the perfect lakehouse cabin on Lake Lanier and the North Georgia Mountains - only 45 miles from downtown Atlanta, 5 minutes to shopping, dining, golfing, 20 minutes to wineries, more shopping, hiking and other activities.

Hidden Gem is well-equipped for remote working & remote schooling. The fast cable internet, with break-times for lake activities, make remote work and school a perfect life experience.

Whether you love to shop, canoe, paddle boat, kayak, fish, paddle board, explore the North GA Mountain waterfalls, wineries, hiking & biking trails, or just relax, this beautiful mountain lakehouse is designed for a perfect vacation, work spot or any get-together on Lake Lanier in the North Georgia Mountains.

Local marinas for renting boats during warm seasons are an added bonus. Gainesville Marina is 20 minutes by boat and car. Port Royale, Aqualand, Holiday, and Bald Ridge Marinas are also nice options about 30 minutes by boat & car. You can also bring your own boat and fill up as needed at Athens Boat Club, 7 minutes by boat.

My 3-story home is nestled down a lush, wooded hillside. The downhill driveway provides privacy as well as a closer view and walk to the lake. The private platform dock is in plenty of water (narrow, private cove, but with steep underwater terrain) with room to tie up boats & jet skis, as well as room to play in the water with my water toys and sturdy ladder to help you out of the water. I feel like the water is fresher and cleaner up here, further north due to the Chestatee River flowing through just seconds away.

My lakehouse cabin is well-appointed with 3 floors providing privacy for everyone. The 4 bedrooms each have an attached bath. The layout consists of 2 bedrooms with a Jack & Jill bath on the upper floor, master bedroom with attached bath on the main floor, additional bedroom with attached bath on the lower floor. The main floor also includes the kitchen with granite countertops and a window seat/ breakfast nook, a dining area with 12 foot bench wall and large table, family room with wood burning fireplace that is open to a huge 3-sided glass sunroom, perfect for bird watching and 'Oh, the views!'. The sunroom feels like a glass treehouse that is suspended over the lake. Comfortably furnished for coffee, cocktails or a well-deserved nap, the sunroom is one of my favorite spots! The lower terrace level features a 400+ square foot bonus room including a queen bedroom with attached bath, built in bunk beds, queen bed & laundry room and outside access to a comfortable porch and views of the lake.

My Hidden Gem has a large covered porch, upper deck with patio table set, a grill area and several intimate outside seating areas. The 3 minute walk to the lake is a short flight of stairs through a lush selection of Mountain Laurel, Rhododendron and Azalea and then on to the 2nd dock at the end of a level path.

My private platform dock, only for your personal use, is situated close to the mouth of the cove in 'deep' water. ***Please note the dock is the 2nd and last set of steps on the path to the lake. If you love to fish, you will delight in all the bait fish you can catch right off the dock. If water sports are your thing, you will be pleased with how many toys I have around the dock. My outside areas provide plenty of places to dine, entertain, romp in the woods or just sit back and watch the lake. ***I have surveillance cameras along my trail to the dock & around the dock area due to a neighbor with no lake access frequently using your lake equipment and dock***

Hidden Gem - Chestatee features 4 flat screen tv's throughout the house, cards/board games and magazines, wireless access, and a washer/dryer for your use.

Hidden Gem is perfect for families, friends, corporate retreats, business trips, girls' and/or guys' weekends, wedding events, or individual/couple's getaways. Located 1 mile to Nix Bridge public boat ramp & park, 3 miles to Toto Creek public boat ramp & park, 5 miles to North Georgia Premium Outlets, dining or beautiful Chestatee golf course, you will be in a private escape surrounded by all the fun.

Wineries, golfing, tubing, waterfalls and hiking are all within 20 minutes, north on GA400. Dahlonega, w/ great shopping & dining, are14 miles. Alpine Helen, Cleveland and Brasstown Bald are within 20-35 miles. Whatever activities you love, Hidden Gem - Chestatee is a great place to enjoy it all.
