About this property

5 Bedroom Luxury Retreat -Pool, 2-Story Boat Dock, Game Room, Tikki Bar, Privacy

Welcome to one of the best places on Lake Lanier to have your family reunion!

An extremely unique and private luxury family retreat with a swimming pool and 2-story boat dock on Lake Lanier. A one-of-a-kind home for your family to spend quality time together!

This 6,000+ square foot home has 5 bedrooms on a 3+ acres surrounded by forest. Every bedroom has a King bed and its own private bathroom. Plus 3 additional twin beds (13 total guests). Gourmet kitchen, swimming pool surrounded by palm trees, outdoor tikki bar, downstairs entertainment room, pool table and ping pong table - this house has it all!

A walking path through the woods takes you to our private 2 story boat dock with entertainment deck on a quiet cove in the desirable, quiet northern section of Lake Lanier. We can provide referrals for boat rentals.

Comfort, luxury, and memorable in every way. Enjoy multiple living spaces, dining, and entertainment areas. The grand living room is surrounded by windows in every direction. Watch your grandchildren play in the pool from a shady spot under our pool umbrellas, or from the living room window or the cozy screened-in porch. Enjoy the big sky in this unique, extremely private setting. Unlike most houses on Lake Lanier, you do not have neighboring houses close by.

Stunning architecture including high vaulted ceilings with wood paneling above the open concept floor plan. The main upstairs living space is spectacular. Relax in comfortable sofas from RH while watching the big screen Smart TV over the beautiful stone fireplace. The dining room table seats 8-10 people with additional seating for 4-6 at the round dining table by the windows overlooking the pool. The kitchen island has 6 bar stools.

Featuring a well stocked, gourmet kitchen. If your family enjoys cooking meals together, this is the house for you! With plenty of room for multiple chefs to prepare your favorite meals on the spacious granite countertops and prep areas, you'll find high quality chef knives and a thoughtful variety of kitchen tools and accessories to make you feel at home. For coffee lovers, we provide Keurig, classic drip, Chemex, french press, glass pour over, our grandmother's percolator and a Baratza burr coffee grinder!

Dining options include lots of restaurants within 20-25 minutes including Gainesville's popular Town Square, nearby Dawsonville, and the award-winning vineyards and town of Dahlonega (Architectural Digest - #3 of 21 Best Small Towns in America). Instacart also delivers to the house.

We have high speed fiber internet with 100+ channels of TV, Netflix and Amazon Prime for streaming. With a pool table in the downstairs entertainment area, a ping pong table in the garage, a variety of board games, and lots of quiet reading nooks, there is always something to do inside as well as outside.

Luxurious hotel quality bedding! All bedrooms have new hand-crafted mattresses by Kluft and Aireloom (made by Kluft). Enjoy an amazing night's sleep in beautiful, luxurious bed-linens from Portugal. Fine cotton percale sheets with hemstitched detail and yes, our down pillows are amazing! Down alternative pillows are also available on request.

Spend the day swimming and playing in the lake from our 32 x 32 foot 2 story boat dock on a very quiet cove. We provide two double-seater kayaks and a giant "lily pad" - children love it! The large upper deck has a table, bar area and chaise lounges with a beautiful view down the channel. We love to watch the sun set over the water in the evenings.

After a day on the lake, relax by our refreshing saltwater pool. The pool is bordered by a lush green zoysia grass lawn and beautiful palm trees - all surrounded by natural forest. This is a one-of-a-kind resort quality oasis where you will love spending your days and evenings. At night, enjoy the ambience of the lights on the palm trees reflecting on the surface of the water while you relax in our comfortable poolside furniture.

The pool has an outdoor Tikki bar with a large gas grill and a stainless steel "Le Griddle" for evening cookouts and cocktails. There are multiple seating areas for dining and relaxing under the shade of our pool umbrellas. The outdoor poolside changing room has a bathroom and shower with hot water. The pool can be heated in the off season - a separate fee applies.

Many of our guests rent a boat and keep it at our dock during their stay. We provide referrals for boat rentals including having the boat delivered to our dock.

This is the perfect vacation house for people who are looking for quiet and privacy. You can relax by the pool without hearing boats and jet-skis, and there are no other people or houses in sight.

The house is surrounded by forest. It's a 3 minute walk along a private path through the woods to the boat dock (approx. 220 yards). Part of the path is somewhat steep, but you can avoid this by walking along a side road to the halfway point to the lake. It's a short, easy walk from there. You can park your car or a golf cart at the halfway point - we will show you exactly where. Please inquire for details about golf cart rentals.

Available for weekly rentals in the summer, shorter stays in the off season.

If you are interested in renting this unique lake house to share time with your family and friends, please contact us for more details.

Reminder - NO PARTIES or PETS are allowed. This is a NO SMOKING home.

The fireplaces are not available for guest use. The diving board has been removed from the pool for safety reasons.

Please do not try to visit the property before your reservation dates unannounced. Our security system will be triggered. If you would like to see the property before or after booking, please let us know so we can arrange a date and time to meet you there.

JET SKIs - we typically do not allow jet skis at the dock as a courtesy to our neighbors, but feel free to inquire about this.

Perfect for families
This property was perfect for a larger group with multiple ages. The basement was a perfect spot for the teenagers! The homes large kitchen made cooking meals so easy. The extra refrigerator and freezer in the garage was such a nice bonus when trying to have enough groceries for a large group. There was plenty of couch space for everyone to sit and relax together. The ping-pong table and pool table were a big hit for everyone. The property was clean and easy to get to. The host Amy was so helpful and easy to communicate with. All of her directions were easy and thorough to understand. We would highly recommend this property!

wonderful getaway
This property was perfect for our family gathering of 9 after a year apart! The pool was wonderful, the spaces for gathering numerous and varied. Amy and Brooks had provided all the essentials and MORE. Only a few made use of the lovely lake and dock but those that did enjoyed it thoroughly. We are certainly contemplating reservations for next year's reunion!

Amazing Place & Time Spent With Family
The home and the area was amazing. Spending most of the time in the pool and Tiki Bar. Several family members spent time fishing and in the kayaks. Plenty of space for all and cooked amazing meals inside and out. Already looking at dates for next year.

Host profile image
We've lived in Atlanta for over 25 years. We enjoy living "in town" but also love the North Georgia mountains and lakes.

Why they chose this property

We were looking for a place to spend weekends and summers within an hour's drive from Atlanta. We wanted it to be quiet and very private, with a nice layout for entertaining friends and family.
