Awesome family vacation!
Plenty of room, perfect location at the lake (for boating and swimming) plus super close to all the restaurants and shops that Dawsonville has to offer, and a close drive to Atlanta and beautiful Dahlonega. We had so much fun!!! The weather was perfect, plenty of beds for all of us, and a great layout to the house. A couple of minor "maintenance" issues but the property manager responded quickly. We loved the property!

Nice house on quiet cove
Great place for a weekend getaway with family/friends. Owner is very responsive and easy to work with. House is nice and the teens really enjoyed the game room. Dock is a little dated and if you're traveling with little kids or seniors just be aware that the house has lots of stairs. Access to the lake is very close, but steep and uneven footing. Overall, highly recommend.

A Five-Star🌟Retreat on Lake Lanier
Our stay at the Lake Lanier was absolutely phenomenal! From the moment we arrived,we were blown away by how clean the house was. The stunning views of Lake Lanier nestled way back in a tranquil cove made for a relaxing weekend. We enjoyed morning coffee, lunch & dinner out on the deck. Every detail of the house was thoughtfully curated. It was the perfect balance between luxury and cozy comfort and that made us feel right at home. The fully stocked kitchen made all of our meals a breeze. Lastly, the host, Sherri, went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed and was very prompt with her communication. Overall our stay exceeded all of our expectations and I can’t wait to book again! Thank you, Sherri!!!

Wonderful home.
A beautiful home with a wonderful view, we had all our children, their spouses and our grandchildren together for Thanksgiving. The home is huge and comfortable. If you’re looking for home near many activities in North Ga this is a great spot. We were very happy with our stay.

Beautiful and functional property!
We decided to rent this property to stay with our wedding for a long weekend. It was absolutely perfect for us. The house has a ton of amenities and is well laid out for several adult couples to stay. Great Lake access plenty of parking. The host was very responsive and was very accommodating. Highly recommend.
