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, golf, tennis, 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 huge deck platform 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 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. If you are bringing a boat and trailer, you can access the nearby park for lake entry and trailer parking. Please note there is no over night parking at the park. 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.

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.

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.

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 get away house on the lake
This location is perfect if you want to getaway on Lake Lanier and be within a quick driving distance to everything. It’s a nice secluded home on the lake with everything you need. The privacy is awesome, lake views are plenty, and we saw tons of wildlife around which was pretty cool. Lacy is an awesome host. Wish we could’ve stayed longer!

Family stay
We had a great trip! Beautiful house and location. The hosts were quick to respond if we had a question. Beware with little ones or older visitors there are a lot of stairs you have to go up and down. Besides that our stay was great! There was so many out door adventures to do as a family!

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!

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!

House was nice but not for elderly
Outside stairs were a challenge as was parking. Amenities could have been better. Had family visit and only had 6 glasses Towels in bathroom were horrible. Blanket on guest bedroom bed was holy and nasty. Killed 2 cockroaches and found 3 more dead. The house itself was nice but definitely lacked some extras

LAKE GET AWAY
This was a last minute reservation for a last minute get away for us, the house location was easy to get to and conveniently located on the lake. overall the house was great. with a family of 5 we could have used a little more sofa seating to watch family movies etc. but for the budget and last minute, it was a great deal! the owner was very helpful and quick to respond. The marina was close and also a great recommendation. the kitchen and bathrooms appeared to be updated, which was nice. the only "recommendation" for the house would be, more "soft seating" upstairs.

significant risk of injury
The property is significantly run down and poses several risk of physical harm. The 30 wooden steps from the road to the back entrance are loose, splintered and steep. the additional 37 steep concrete steps leading to the entrance to the dock are somewhat uneven and crumbly. The wooden walkway leading onto the dock was unsecured on one side, causing about a 20% list and considerable swaying and bouncing. The dock itself is peeling and rotting. The lake view from the house is hampered by the over grown vines and trees. Two of the 3 upstairs bedroom didn't have working air conditioning, The kitchen was ill equipped having only 3 coffee mugs, 1 serving bowl, no useable baking sheets, no kitchen towels, no pot holders. The garbage was not picked up on a regular basis so we made 5 trips ourselves to the compacter site. There were no sealed garbage bins, provided was a plastic box designed to store outdoor cushions. Garbage cannot sit in there for a week in 95 degree heat no matter if it's in a secured garbage bag. This home is a severe accident waiting to happen to an unsuspecting renter. Needs a vrbo employee to go onsite, I don't believe this property meets your standards.
