About this property

Cozy Cottage on the Lake

  • This beautiful 3 bedroom 2.5 bath lake house is located on Lake Lanier with a boat dock and breathtaking lake views. Just 30 steps from the lake!

    It is perfectly located in a cove with a two story dock. Convenient access by boat or car to restaurants, marinas, jet-ski rentals, Lake Lanier Island Waterpark, hiking areas and much more.

    Our property features lake views from just about every room in the house. It also features two decks with seating as well as a side deck with a large hot tub. Enjoy watching the boats go by from the deck or from the amazing Double Decker dock (one slip, two stories with deck on top. The dock does have additional side wet slips for your personal watercrafts! This rooftop dock is wonderful for sunbathing, relaxing or just watching the amazing views and sunsets. There is a one kayak for your enjoyment. Plenty of seating on the top deck as well as a sunshade to escape the rays!

    The top level has 3 bedrooms and 2 baths as well as a laundry room. There are two queen beds and a bunk bed for the kiddos! The bottom level features a beautiful open concept area that includes a kitchen, living room, dining room, and bathroom. The kitchen has a huge island with seating for six. The center of the house features large windows for the views of the lake and surrounding area. You can walk straight out on to the deck with a hot tub! There is parallel parking for two cars only. This property is not handicapped accessible. Please note there are many steps and it may not be suitable for elderly guests. There are a good bit of stairs as the house is situated on a hill.

    Have fun swimming, boating, kayaking, fishing, jetskiing, waterskiing, and exploring the lake. If you are looking for enjoyment and relaxation on the lake, this is the place to be!

    Lake Lanier is located in North Georgia, just 40 miles from the state capitol of Atlanta. The 692 miles of shoreline borders the following five counties: Hall; Forsyth; Dawson; Gwinnett and Lumpkin. Lake Lanier is well known for the wonderful fishing.

Very comfortable place. Lots of room. Renter a pontoon boat and they delivered it to the dock. Lots of stairs. Baths and kitchen seem to be remolded.

Our stay on the lake was just perfect! We have a 12 year old and a 14 year and we all had the best time! The house was so spacious, a beautiful view of the lake, and perfect location. We went to Snow Island @ Margaritaville (about 15 minutes away) , spent an evening in downtown Dahlonega (about an hour away), and went on a self-directed tour of film locations of Stranger Things (about an hour away). The hot tub was a perfect way to begin our day and end of evening. We would 1 million percent stay here again. Thank you again!

Communication from the host was great, loved the location. House would’ve been a fabulous house in its day. Was clean, great facilities, just a little tired in places. Overall though we had a great stay, was able to get dropped off by boat!!! Deer grazing nearby in the mornings and evenings- definitely a magical location.

It was great

The house was nice and well kept. As others have said, parking was a little tight but not bad at all. We enjoyed our stay. House was great and had a lot of nice amenities. Neighborhood was quiet and house was close to everything we wanted to.

Love this place. So close to the water and a great boat dock. Wish we could have stayed longer. Convenient to everything you need or want. We wanted for nothing in the house. Excellent communication

Cozy stay in a cozy place

This cottage has a gorgeous view of the lake. The trees and plantings make you feel very private. Loved seeing all the wildlife around the neighborhood. The house was well equipped and tastefully furnished. We really enjoyed all of the artwork. Would definitely stay here again.

Great house that needs TLC

The house itself is great, the view is beautiful! We loved seeing deer each day! However, the property needs maintenance, the interior needs upkeep (light bulbs out, remotes need batteries, Master Bathroom sink remains clogged, interior drawers and cabinets need cleaned but the biggest concern was pest control (too many live roaches!)

Lake house stay

We were in town for a family reunion. The location was close to the reunion site. We didn’t take advantage of the dock and lake. We had a prompt response to an ac issue. The parking was tough and the steps were a challenge. Just something to be aware of. Overall, the house was supplied with all we needed.

Perfect!

The place was so pretty,clean, and just everything it was advertised to be. Hot tub was in a perfect location for the weather on a rainy, cold day to enjoy the view and cover. Parking is tricky if more than one vehicle but we were told in advance. Great experience for sure! Would love to come back in the summer to really enjoy the lake and would pick this place again in a heartbeat!

Peaceful

We spent a few relaxing days at the lakehouse. So peaceful. There were deer on the property every day. The lake was fantastic and the water was warm. The house itself is situated on the side of a hill which gradually slopes down to the water. Parking is challenging, but you get used to it after a few times. Yes, it's steep, but not ridiculously steep. Definitely will return.

Beautiful lake view

My husband and I enjoyed our stay with my sister and brother in law and our empty nester dogs. We came down for our nieces wedding at Koury Farms in Auburn. The property is close to restaurants and grocery. The home had a perfect floor plan and some extra necessities that sometimes you forget to pack.. foil, plastic wrap and numerous seasonings.. we were pleased to have a keurig coffee pot, makes it nice for different coffee preferences. As they say, the parking is tricky, but gets better with practice. We would definitely book this property again!

Exactly what I want in a lake house getaway. Appropriately priced, can fit an entire family. Wouldn’t say it’s great for kids under 10 or the elderly though, very steep property from house to lake. Incredible for young adults 10/10. Do recommend

House was fine, lots of room, perfect for three guests and could’ve accommodated more, pretty comfortable, propane hookup to grill was cool. Wish we had used the hot tub, looked cool. Bug issue in kitchen, outside needs maintenance, decks and dock in a bit of disrepair. Pretty well stocked, but tiny things like no whisk or grill tongs were annoying but we made due. But overall the place is priced well and was good for a guys fishing trip.

Great view, hot tub was the perfect spot for the cool evenings. Knew it was not handicap accessible but the steps coming down to property were a challenge since there were no lighting on the steps or porch light left on. Overall would have benefited from a good cleaning but thinking the house hadn’t been rented in awhile.
