The space
Welcome to Evergreen Hideaway – Where Family Memories (and Possibly Mild Sunburns) Are Made

Looking for a lake getaway where kids fall asleep before 9, parents actually relax, and the dog lives its absolute best life? Welcome to Evergreen Hideaway, your pet-friendly Lake Lanier retreat tucked into a peaceful cove with easy access to Gainesville’s favorite parks.

We’re perfectly positioned for adventure—just 1.5 miles from Lake Lanier Olympic Park and across the water from Laurel Park Boat Ramp. Translation: close enough for action, far enough to hear the crickets at night.

🌊 Lake Days Done Right

Boating, paddling, fishing, swimming… or pretending you can dock a boat on the first try—Evergreen Hideaway has you covered.

Launch your boat nearby or grab one of our complimentary kayaks to explore the calm cove.

Private dock with swim ladder makes morning swims, sunset fishing, or cannonball contests a breeze.

Digital guidebook includes insider tips plus exclusive boat-rental discounts and promo codes, so you can cruise Lake Lanier like a pro.

🚣 Olympic-Level Fun (Spectators Welcome)

Just 1.5 miles away, Lake Lanier Olympic Park—built for the 1996 Olympic rowing events—is now a lively lakeside spot to:

Watch elite rowing teams glide past like synchronized water ninjas

Rent kayaks or paddleboards

Attend concerts and lakeside events

Let kids burn off energy at the playground and beach

Fair warning: someone in your family may decide they’re suddenly training for the Olympics.

🚤 Laurel Park: Launch Pad for Adventures

Across the cove, Laurel Park Boat Ramp is a favorite local access point for boating, fishing, and paddling:

Quick boat launches

Explore quiet coves

Fish for bass

Easy kayak access

Many great lake stories start here… and some involve “you should have seen the fish!” exaggerations.

🌅 Your Lake Lanier Tradition Starts Here

At Evergreen Hideaway, days are filled with kayaking, boating, Olympic-inspired rowers, and family laughter. Evenings end with porch conversations and kids collapsing after their best day ever.

Pack swimsuits, bring the dog, and get ready for a vacation where everyone leaves saying, “When can we come back?”

Guest access
🏡 Guest Access – All Yours!

You get the whole house, porch, yard, and dock—basically the keys to your own lakeside kingdom. We’re just a call or text away if you need anything (except maybe a life-sized mermaid—those we don’t provide).

WiFi & Smart Lock: Seamless check-in, so you can drop bags and grab a kayak in record time.

Kayaks & Dock Fun: Paddle, swim, or float like a local legend. Outdoor activities are at your own risk—life jackets of various sizes are on hand at the dock and in the basement, but we can’t guarantee a perfect fit for everyone.

Fishing Gear: Basic tackle is in the basement for wannabe anglers. Bring your own tackle. We have let the fish get all ours but we have the poles.

Hauling Made Easy: An electric wagon helps move coolers, chairs, and possibly small children to the dock.

Parking: Free on the curve driveway and small extra pad—please, no grass or street parking unless you enjoy explaining to neighbors why there’s a minivan on their lawn.

Digital Guidebook: After booking, dive into our insider tips, boat discounts, and secret cove hacks.

Basically, everything you need for lake adventures, laughs, and minor dock shenanigans is included. Just bring your sense of humor (and swimsuits).

Lake Access: Like many homes on Lake Lanier, the walk to the water is on a sloped, natural path with several steps. While the path is well-maintained, it may not be suitable for guests with significant mobility concerns.
* Dock Maintenance: A local dock watch company occasionally moves our dock to adjust for changing water levels. It is possible they may be briefly on-site during your stay to perform this service.

🍔 Clean the grill and patio fireplace if used—please be courteous to the next guest.

🔥 Let us know if the firewood supply is running low so we can restock.

Inside the house:

🧃 Bag all trash, including leftover food, and place it in the outside can (located on the side of the house). No need to move it to the street—our local service will handle it.

🧼 Start the dishwasher with any used dishes.

🎒 Check for personal items before you leave.
