Intimate lakefront retreat with magnificent infinity pool and stunning lake view

This exceptional home is incredibly spacious, kid and grandparent-friendly and ideal for family getaways and reunions. This 6000+ sqft home features 9 beds, a heated infinity pool and spa, a high-end built in Lynx barbecue and is situated in a very private cove.

And best of all, we do not charge any fees for renting our home. Cleaning, utilities, using the pool heater, use of the golf cart, burning our firewood, etc, etc....it's all included. VRBO and the county may charge you a fee, but we don't! Everything is included in our nightly rate.

Unlike many properties that advertise themselves as being on the lake, this is a true "lake house", located just 50 feet from the lake water's edge. That's why you chose to rent a lake house after all, isn't it? You want to be able to see the lake up close and to access it easily and that's why this is the ideal lake property in North Georgia.

Being located just 75 minutes north of the Atlanta airport and 50 minutes from metro Atlanta, our property will feel far enough to get away, yet close enough to commute if necessary. As such, it is also an ideal spot for work retreats for local businesses and teams, providing an inspiring and fun atmosphere that is perfect for collaboration and team building. And you can easily stay connected to your world thanks to our robust, whole-house Orbi WIFI setup.

Outside you will enjoy glistening views of the water from the infinity pool and two-story dock. Sip your morning coffee on our expansive two-story patio, complete with lounge furniture, while you watch boaters and jet skiers go by. You are welcome to park your owned or rented boat in our extra dock slip.

The infinity pool features waterfalls, a sunning ledge, and color-changing lights. Slip into the hot tub for some post-dinner relaxation - easily controlled via iPad. Our fire pit is the perfect place to roast s’mores or strum the guitar while the cicadas and bullfrogs sing along.

Inside our home, we have 9 beds including an office with a convertible sleeper sofa. (We also have two air mattresses available.) Each one of the three floors has its own washer/dryer so you won’t have to lug pool towels up and down. The spacious kitchen is a central gathering place with towering windows that look out on the water. Our beautiful handmade dining table seats 12, perfect for a family dinner or team meeting.

The basement features a ping pong table, bar with ice machine, wraparound couch (“Big Blue”), and a 75-inch plasma TV with YouTube TV. It’s an easy walk outside to the pool area, where you can grill burgers and dogs at our Lynx grill (includes a rotisserie) while still catching a perfect view of the lake. You might also enjoy the novelty of taking a rinse in our enclosed outdoor shower.

The front of our home has a beautiful porch with rustic rocking chairs that make for the perfect reading spot. We have ample parking at the base of the house, plus two additional parking spots along the driveway and one garage space. The driveway is gated with a key code.

Our home is located just down the road from a lovely park with three boat ramps — useful for guests who plan to bring your own boat or jet skis. The park is also a great place for walking or running. We are seven minutes from the North Georgia Premium Outlet Mall, as well as right down the road from Kroger, Walmart, Publix, Home Depot, and many restaurants.


If you’re looking for something handicap accessible, our golf cart makes it easy to drive someone down our wraparound path, “Shimmer Lane,” so they can get to the pool without walking down stairs. Please note: the dock is not handicap accessible, as you have to walk down a stepping stone path to access it.

The property worked great for an off-site work meeting. There is plenty of seating to accommodate 10+ people upstairs, downstairs, and on the back porch/balcony. The house is clean and well-maintained.

Fabulous
The lake house was everything and more. All the appointments in the house are very classy, the beds were extremely comfortable, and the outside area with the pool and lake was absolutely great. My five grandchildren ages 6 to 11 just loved all there was to do outside. We've stayed every year either at the beach or a lake and by far this was the best house we have found.

BEAUTIFUL LAKE VIEWS
This house is amazing! From the moment you walk through the front door you see the lake! The home is so beautifully constructed, and everything is enormous. This house is special from the size of the rooms, beautiful doors and windows, and the incredible wood ceilings that are soaringly high! Communication with the owner was prompt and informative. Check in and out was very easy. The pool and hot tub area is exquisite. Very classy. We rented a boat at a marina nearby. The dock is fun since you can jump into the lake from the top level! Overall it was a great vacation!

Beautiful home, great location
House was perfect for a large group reunion. Location on the lake was secluded and comfortable. Loved our visit and would happily return. We did, however, have an encounter with a snake found in the basement that we relocated outdoors, as well as two mice that were running under and around the couches in the basement. Otherwise everything was perfect!

Luxury at the lake
My 2 children with spouses and 3 grandchildren loved this beautiful lakeside home. There was ample space for all of us to be together or have quiet space. We enjoyed the outside space with s’mores at the fire pit, relaxing in the whirlpool, swinging on the porch swing and swimming endlessly 😎. We’re already planning our next visit ❤️

The house and grounds were both beautiful. The kids loved the pool and spent long hours in it. They also enjoyed the dock for fishing and diving (much to our surprise being so high up!). Having the grocery store so close was great. We would recommend the place to others.

Great Home on a Breathtaking Cove
Our family of 14 had a great stay at this home with room for everyone. Jerry was quick to respond to our questions and to notify us if people were coming for outdoor maintenance of the property. We spent most of our time on the back deck enjoying the spectacular view and in the heated pool or out on the water.

Great Home to unwind and network with family
It is a gorgeous lake front home. Nestled in the woods with a great view of a portion of the lake. The owner was very helpful. We were so glad he is willing to rent his family summer house. I can't think of a better retreat for a large family.

Long live staycations!
Absolutely breathtaking! The home was exactly like the pictures…my family and friends enjoyed all the amenities throughout the house. Kitchen area was spacious and had everything we needed…the downstairs level that give you access to the pool was really cool. The house was very functional. The bedrooms were actually a little bigger than expected with really comfy bed. Plenty extra throws for warmth. You may need to bring your own face towel for the shower, but each room has a bathroom close by or actually in the bedroom. If there was anything that was slightly concerning was the winding driveway, you definitely needed to be focus maneuvering up and down, but even the surrounding of the house was peaceful and serene nobody was pressed to long. They had a golf kart on premises to assist with parking details that was pretty thoughtful. Communication was pretty good, there was a bit of a struggle understand the access info, but it didn’t take to long to get an understanding…reading all the written details that were sent was very important…it made the small things easily accessible. Thanks for a comfortable stay!

Wonderful Family Vacation
Our family of fourteen just returned from a week on lovely Lake Lanier near Dawsonville, GA. We spent six nights in this beautiful multi-level lake house enjoying the many amenities and making wonderful memories! The home was MORE than accurate in both its description and pictures on the Vrbo listing – if anything, it exceeded our expectations! With over 6,000 square feet of living area, we had plenty of spaces to come together with room to spare and plenty of quiet nooks and crannies for alone time, if that was necessary. While the home was wonderful, the outdoor areas were FABULOUS!! The outdoor kitchen area, with high-end gas grill, was perfect for cooking evening meals by the pool. The pool/spa, with its infinity edge and waterfalls, varying depths, entertainment features (basketball goal!), and multiple lounging areas, was able to provide hours of enjoyment for our family’s three generations! And the two-story dock with swing gate was perfect for jumping into the clear, cool water of Lake Lanier! The host was SO easy to communicate with, both before and during our stay - he did everything in his power to ensure we had a wonderful family vacation! Thank you again, Jerry, for letting us spend time in your beautiful “piece of Paradise!!”

Fabulous house and meticulously laid out and appointed for a large family with children or group of family friends. The house was very upscale from the furniture, bed linens to the pool and floating dock. Nothing you may want has been left off or forgotten. Just show up and relax.
