Waterfront Luxury: Refreshing Your Soul w/ Your Own Oasis In the Midst of It All

Located on the south shores of Lake Lanier, offering 45 easy steps to the dock and lake. This is truly a paradise away from reality. My home offers spectacular views from just about every room, with attention paid to every detail. I want to make sure your stay is care-free! Located minutes from Downtown Buford, Lake Lanier Islands, Margaritaville, the Mall of GA, as well as many restaurants, bars, and grocery stores. Local activities include boating, and I have a canoe, 4 kayaks, 2 tandems & 2 singles, fishing, and I provide the gear, all at no extra fee, golfing, horseback riding, zip-lines, water park, state parks, wineries, and just about anything you could imagine. But, then again, you may not want to leave this paradise; as it offers a private, heated swimming pool w/ bar, TV/Stereo, grill, fire pit & hot tub. There's a pool table, a ping pong table, numerous indoor & outdoor games, such as corn hole, volleyball, basketball, ladder golf; a dock w/ a party top & plenty of seating, a covered boat slip, and floats for multiple people and for singles.

Great Lake Property
We had a wonderful time at the lake house! Geri was great and made sure we had everything we needed. The dock was amazing with the kayaks and canoe. The teens enjoyed fishing and we rented a boat for some extra fun on the lake. Great house for multiple families!

Family vacay 2024
This property was wonderful. Plenty of room for 3 couples, my 23 year old son, and two young grand children. There are various areas for family togetherness as well as space to retreat when necessary:) the location is great. Somewhat remote (in a good way) but close to so many things to do. The dock area and lake were amazing. We watched the Margaritaville fireworks from the 2nd story deck on July 4th and 5th. Everyone enjoyed the hot tub, pool, and well appointed kitchen. Geri, the owner, was very helpful and accessible. True southern hospitality. We would definitely stay again!

A Retreat Feel
This house is definitely a home away from home! So serene and comfortable. The owner thought of everything and truly make you want to stay there forever. The house is listed as 7 bedrooms but it is only 5 bedrooms. The loft should not be considered a bedroom nor the closet that has beds in it. All in all, I would go back.
