Lakeside Retreat - Perfect Getaway for Couples

JessicaRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
This was the best Airbnb stay we have ever had. This was exactly what we needed for a restful weekend to celebrate our first anniversary. The cabin was so cute and perfectly decorated. There were so many little touches that made it a great stay. The location is very peaceful, and it is not too far away from plenty of restaurants and things to do. Donna went out of her way to make our stay super special, and we are so appreciative. We will come back for sure!

I had planned to kayak but was unable to find a spot to get in and out of the kayak by myself. The property was beautiful. The river, deer in the morning and evening, the falls close by it is a real gem.

Margaret was very welcoming, gave us a tour in person and we still felt like we were left alone to enjoy our time. Her home had lots of fun games, kitchen supplies, and all lake necessities! I would definitely recommend staying here for a fun weekend away!

Overlook Lake House

CourtneyRating, 5 stars4 days ago
This place was simply amazing for our family weekend getaway!! It is very large home so we all fit super comfortably throughout! Seating galore! The pool, hot tub, lake, and basement full of things to do was major hit! It was clean and very close to a lot of stores and restaurants! The home did not miss with items inside too! We had plenty of cooking utensils, cutlery, games, little Knick knacks, pool items, and more! But the icing on the cake was the host! Blanca was simply amazing! Very responsive and accommodating and we appreciate her for making our booking and stay so easy! Our family is already planning to book this home again!

Stunning views, private dock, gorgeous home

StephenRating, 5 stars2 months ago
Chris was a great host, and responded quickly even though we booked at the last minute. The house was super clean and perfect for my family. Chris even arranged for more supplies to be delivered (even though it was stocked fine when we arrived). The rental is a bit expensive, but appropriate for the amazing location on Lake Lanier. the house and property have many spots for relaxation, conversation, games, etc. The fire pit alone is an amazing scenic spot.

Caseta Cottage by Lake Lanier w/ BBQ grill

JuanRating, 5 stars2 days ago
Amazing stay, Kinh was very proactive at our check in and the place was exactly as he described it. We ran into a couple of bugs during our stay (not Kinh’s fault at all), it is because the place is in the middle of the woods, thats why is so quiet and peaceful. I would highly recommend for people to stay here and I would love to stay here again!

Amicalola+Mtn. Views| Cozy Dome |Optional Cottage

NinaRating, 5 stars1 week ago
You won't want to leave the back porch the view is that spectacular and so peaceful. It is a unique space and a must if you have never stayed in a dome home. Things to keep in mind for your stay, circle drive so cars can park in front of or behind your car, no bedroom on the first floor in the main dome home (both bedrooms are upstairs) but you can rent the cottage for an additional fee and it is a ground level bedroom and bathroom. There is a Keurig machine too. We had a great time. Enjoy!

Next to Lake Lanier Islands Margaritaville w/Spa

RolfRating, 5 stars1 week ago
For the five of us who came from out of state (plus one Atlantan), this place was perfect for our weekend get-together. The house's bedroom/bath layouts gave us the privacy we each wanted, and living room and other common areas were great for gathering to chat, projecting images and videos on the smart TV, etc. All controls around the house are well marked and easy to use. The kitchen is well equipped and stocked for making coffee - an easy start to the day. Daniel had provided very helpful suggestions in his "host's guide" regarding dining possibilities and other area resources. He was extremely proactive in providing information and answering questions. All in all, an extremely satisfying experience - my highest recommendation, especially for groups wanting multiple individual bedroom/bath units.

Lake Ranch: Fire Pit, Sauna, Farm, Holiday Ready

StaciRating, 5 stars3 days ago
We booked three days at the Lake Ranch so that we could spend a great weekend with our adult daughters and a couple of friends. Oh my gosh. The house is not only clean, roomy, beautiful and filled with fun amenities, but it's beyond that: the kitchen is well-equipped, and Joy gave us little slippers to wear (it's exactly what I would've asked people to do ... we always take our shoes off inside anyway), towel hooks by the hot tub, outside blankets for chilly weather, and just lots of little things like that we noticed and appreciated. Two dishwashers! But what stands out most to me (besides the familiar and comforting sound of the crickets) were the chickens, horses, and goats. Watching them and feeding them and gathering the eggs ... oh my God, just the best. The path to the lake was lit at night, and the whole stay was just awesome. We rented a boat and had a blast! I hate to tell everyone, because then it'll get booked up and I might miss a spot! Truly a great stay.

Your guide to Lake Lanier

All About Lake Lanier

Lake Lanier, tucked between Gainesville and Buford, is a peaceful destination in the hills of Northern Georgia. This lake was a project intended to help develop America’s waterways during World War II; in the 1950s, the Buford Dam was completed and formed Lake Lanier. Today, this oasis is home to more than 53,000 residents who live across five counties.

Lake Lanier is one of the most popular lakes in the Southeast and is the largest lake in Georgia. It’s home to more than 700 miles of beaches stretching across 38,000 acres. Experience the solitude of the mountains, the majesty of the waterfalls, and the beauty of the Chattahoochee and Chestatee Rivers as you enjoy a stay in one of the Lake Lanier cabins or house rentals. Lake Lanier has more than 45 parks and 10 campgrounds within its vicinity and is a fishing destination, welcoming fishers and anglers who can’t get enough of the lake’s provisions.


The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Lake Lanier

Beginning in March, the lake is warm enough to swim in, but the main swimming season starts in May. Once you settle into your Lake Lanier cabin, the water activities nearby are plentiful and include boating and kayaking. After Labor Day weekend the park is less busy — so if you’re looking to avoid crowds, this could be a great opportunity to visit, as the temperatures stay warm here through October. During the wintertime, visitors come here for snow tubing, carnival rides, and ice skating. Golfing is a year-round activity at the lake. Check local events calendars for live music, beach cruises, and full moon festivities throughout the year.


Top things to do in Lake Lanier

Atlanta’s Botanical Garden, Gainesville

An extension of the Atlanta Botanical Garden, the Gainesville garden is one of the largest nature conservation nurseries in the Southeast. It’s only a short drive from Lake Lanier and is a tropical paradise. The garden has more than 30 acres to explore plus creative installations, cocktail nights, and exhibits for kids.

The Buford Dam Trail

At the Buford Dam Trail, you’ll be able to walk behind the dam that created Lake Lanier while taking in views of the Chattahoochee River. Access this trail via the Lower Overlook Park to avoid parking fees. As you hike this trail you’ll experience stunning views, cross beautiful bridges, and maybe even spot some woodland creatures.

Downtown Burford

After a relaxing few days out in nature, shift gears and explore Downtown Buford. Only a 22-minute drive from Lake Lanier, this small town has great art galleries, shops, taverns, and event halls to explore.
