Lakefront Modern Cabin with Dock

AlexanderRating, 5 stars1 week ago
What an amazing lake house for a weekend retreat. This house was beautiful and had every amenity we could ask for. A beautiful back deck with a fire pit (they provided wood for fires) & a nice clean grill with a propane tank available. The kitchen also had every thing you would need, we cooked a huge meal each night. The two story dock was perfect for lounging and else even were able to bring our boat and keep it tied to the dock for the weekend when we weren’t using it. You can tell the owners of this home really take pride in it. They spared no expense providing the best in this home from the furniture to the ceiling fans & everything in the kitchen. I highly recommend staying here if you want a high quality place to stay on lake Lanier.

With it being a tournament weekend and the reason for our stay, it would have been very helpful to have access to charge the boat batteries. Overall, had a very enjoyable visit and will stay again if we are ever in another tournament in Lanier. Thanks, The Roach's

A-Frame on Lake Lanier with Private Dock

Amber And AbeRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
This was the most charming rental I’ve stayed in, whether for a family trip or a romantic weekend away! And Kevin was a very responsive host. From the second you walk through the door the home offers so much charter and warmth. The views of the lake were so beautiful and the house was so clean and provided many amenities. The location was great with downtown being about 10 min away which including a lot of great dining and shopping options. I highly recommend this rental to anyone staying in the area and will for sure be booking again! Thanks Kevin for sharing your space!

Lake front, private dock

LeliaRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
The home was immaculate, perfectly described, and nicely furnished. Check in and check out were easy. My son, 3 of his friends, and I all had a fantastic time. They spent their days on the paddle boards, fishing, and down in the basement. I spent my time reading on the amazing back porch snuggled in the hammock chair. 5 Stars!!

Walk to the Chattahoochee River from Charming Apt

KiaraRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
We stayed for the weekend and it was the perfect place to stay! It is right outside of Atlanta, so 20-30 minutes depending on where you're going and depending on traffic! The home was very cozy and almost felt as if I was walking into a long term friends house. It looks just like the pictures and he also had games for us to play (Uno, Jenga, playing cards, air hockey, etc.). I would definitely recommend this place for short or long term stay and I would stay there again if I am ever in ATL again. Thanks for the amazing stay Zion!!

My family and I enjoyed our stay at Zoe's house. The house was close to Lake Lanier Olympic Park and Laurel Park, and not far from the downtown. Zoe's artwork, furnishings, sheets, towels and candles really set the home apart from other places at which I have stayed. We look forward to our next stay.

Lake Lanier Retreat w/ Boat Dock!

SandraRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
We were in Dawsonville for a wedding, and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this lovely home with peaceful surroundings! Everything was spotless, and the welcome snacks were a thoughtful added touch! The screened-in porch was a favorite for morning coffee (and, thanks to the outdoor flatscreen, for nighttime NCAA basketball final four!). We loved having access to the lake with the short stroll through the woods down to the dock. The home is so inviting…we wish we would’ve had more time to just hang out and relax…by the water, on the porch, around the fire pit, or in the comfy indoor spaces!
A gravel firepit area is surrounded by rustic wooden chairs adorned with decorative cushions featuring aquatic patterns. Trees provide a natural backdrop, while glimpses of the lake can be seen through the foliage, creating a serene atmosphere for outdoor gatherings.

Amazing Lake Front Cottage with Dock and Firepit

CalebRating, 5 stars21 months ago
My wife and I had a wonderful stay. Being by the lake was wonderful and it was very evident that the house is loved. The host is very proactive in making sure all needs are met- the kitchen is very well stocked (including spices), there are portable fans available, paper towels, trash bags, coffee, towels for the lake; everything we could have possibly needed was already there. Instructions are clear and thorough, Mary was always one step ahead
