About this property

Lake Lanier Retreat - Spend 2025 on the Lake! Memorial Day and Summer Available

This gorgeous lake home is immaculate and ready to accommodate a small family gathering, executive retreat, or any other vacation combination imaginable. The views of the lake are amazing and the location is just as great. Come for all the fun that Lake Lanier can offer, but don't forsake the surrounding areas to visit as well.

This home away from home is conveniently located just 5 minutes from GA 400 and the North Georgia Premium Outlet Mall. Past that, we are located just 30 minutes from Amicalola Falls State Park and its great hiking and sightseeing opportunities. While you're here, don't forget to check out the many other activities that are available, not only in Dawsonville, but in neighboring cities of Dahlonega, Cumming, and Gainesville. The property is also only about an hour's drive from Atlanta, so stay with us and take in some sights of the big city with a short commute.

This 5 bedroom home with expansive terrace level will amaze you with its classic and tasteful decor and breathtaking views of the water and surrounding mountains. The house is situated in the middle of a deep water cove that is big enough to accommodate boats, jet skis, and swimmers of all kinds, but just off the main waterway enough to keep heavy boat traffic at bay.

This retreat sleeps 12 and is even equipped with a crib for your little one's comfort. The main level houses the full kitchen, laundry room, half bath, dining, breakfast, and living rooms as well as a great sun room facing the water and surrounded by windows. The master suite is also on the main floor and is fully decorated with a king bed, Jacuzzi tub, a walk-in closet and a separate linen closet. The sun room is accessible from the family room and the master bedroom. Just off the sun room is a deck fully equipped with patio furniture and a charcoal grill just down the steps. You will love the views from the deck. Take advantage of them in the early morning and the evening. Nothing beats having your morning coffee on the deck as the mist is lifting off the lake!!

Bedrooms 2, 3, 4, and a bonus room are located on the second level of the home. Bedroom #2 has its own adjoining bathroom, while the other bedrooms share a central hall bath. Queen beds fill bedrooms #2 and #3, along with walk-in closets, while #4 has a double bed and closet. The view of the lake from bedroom #4 is the best in the house. The bonus room houses a queen bed and a crib.

The lower terrace level of the house comes equipped with a billiard table, fooseball, and efficiency kitchen in the media room with a refrigerator, sink, and microwave. A huge sectional sofa anchors the media room in front of a 50' flat screen TV. In case you want to spread out and have a need for more beds, we have 2 rooms downstairs to use if your party doesn't want to sleep double. One room downstairs has twin-over-double bunk bed set and the second bedroom has two twin beds. This second bedroom also has an adjoining bathroom with a door to the terrace patio. This feature allows you to enter the bathroom from outside the house. It's really nice to immediately enter the bathroom and get cleaned up after a relaxing swim or exhilarating boat ride. A second full bath is located in the hallway for easy access from the media/gaming area or the first bedroom.

This house truly has it all. The kitchen is fully stocked, as well as the linen closets, for bed and bath. The dock is ready for your boat and water toys. We guarantee you will love your stay!

Beautiful, Luxury Property

I don't believe you can find a nicer home on Lake Lanier for rent! This beautiful home is nicely furnished and accommodates a large family with its 7 bedrooms. This is definitely a wonderful place to relax and enjoy family time. Highly recommend this place!

Best ever!

This is our 8th time staying somewhere on Lake Lanier and we have to say it was the best one yet!! The house was perfect for our growing family and it was very clean and well cared for, as all rentals should be! The private cove was so nice and quiet with not much activity, and the dock had enough space to sit and set up our rafts etc. If I had to mention a need for any improvements it would only be to have more towels(esp dish towels- a big family was using up daily) and TVs in the bedrooms or at least the master that grandparents could retire to! I am a daily walker and it was not a suitable area for that but I was still ok with considering all the positives the place had! We hope to return again next year!

Classic home with Southern styke

This was one if the nicest homes in which we have vacationed. The classic southern look is rich with all the features you could ask for. The proximity to the lake made it a hit with everyone. The grandchildren enjoyed fishing and swimming from the dock Wonderful ho.e!

Family Lakehouse Trip

We stayed at Angie’s property as a family reunion of sorts and the property was perfect. Beautiful home, great spot on the lake, excellent shopping within 10 minutes, and plenty to do. The house is very comfortable and easily fit our group of 15 (4 families). Highly recommended and Angie is quick to communicate if any questions or needs arise.

The house is beautiful very homie. We love everything. My only this was there is no TV in the bedrooms, I can't sleep in silence but we made the best. I cannot and will not complain about this trip. The owner communicated very well. I can definitely stay there again. All my guess said the same thing. This is definitely a saved vacation spot.

A wonderful week spent with college girlfriends.

We enjoyed our week spent at a beautiful home and gorgeous location on Lake Lanier. So close to so many activities! We would love to see wine glasses and a wine bottle opener added to the home inventory. Thanks so much, Susie Fritts and girlfriends.

Wonderful location for ladies get-away!

The overall house, location, & view were wonderful! A few suggestions/comments: - There were quite a few ants in kitchen. - Upstairs bathtub did not drain well. - Bedspreads & bath rugs need to be updated. - Being notified sooner than 2 days before Check In of directions and access code would cause less worry. Overall, we had a wonderful time! 😊

Fabulous home and retreat.

Fourteen family members, 7 adults and 7 children (parents, children, and grandchildren, spanning three generations, from 3 to 70) , had a safe, wonderful and relaxing stay. Beautiful house and spectacular lake view, and two-level dock that is perfect for fishing and relaxing (and swimming, although it was too cold for that). We were all very comfortable there, in the common spaces and bedrooms (with multiple thermostats throughout the house to regulate the temperature); and, enjoyed every part of the house and property, inside and outside. There was plenty of space for the children to play. The house was clean and spacious, and it had a great layout with beautiful and comfortable furniture. We particularly enjoyed the kitchen, dining room, family room, sun room, roomy bedrooms (we all slept great with the peaceful surroundings), and the dock. The entire property had a luxurious and cozy feel with plenty of room to gather together or spread out for privacy and quiet, or to work online. It felt both like a home and vacation retreat. Great family memories were made there. The location was convenient to restaurants, shopping, and hiking. We would definitely consider staying there again. One suggestion is to have a 2nd night table in the master bedroom.

Amazing Property for Large Families!

Unlike many rentals this place is exactly like the pics… maybe even better! Great long wedding weekend with a large family. Plenty of room and very good layout for those family members always on different sleeping/napping schedules. Had one TINY issue during stay and the owner was on site within 20 minutes, fixed issue and left without ever entering the main living areas. Can only imagine how great it is when not 30 degrees! lol Thank You! Michael

Spacious, comfortable home

Lots of room for a large group to be together or spread out in this home. (We had 14 adults & kids) The sunroom across back of the house provides view of lake and comfy sitting. It was a bonus to have the extra refrigerator downstairs because we ate all our meals at the house so we had lots of groceries. We loved this house with only one complaint. In seven bedrooms, not a single one provided bedside lamps suitable for reading. Some had no bedside tables. There were a couple of "night light" sized fixtures but basically only overhead lighting in the bedrooms. Seems like an easy fix. Otherwise, the house is great! We enjoyed driving over to Amicalola Falls and the girls shopped at the outlet mall. This property has lots of outdoor space for throwing balls, etc. I think it would be terrific in the warmer weather when you can enjoy the lake and all the water activities.

About the host

Hosted by Angie Smith

Host profile image
My family and I are native to Dawson County going back at least 5 generations. Our little corner of the world is very important to us and we would like the opportunity to show people from all over the country what a great hideaway we have in Dawsonville, Georgia. From the lakes to the mountains, and from Summer to Winter, we love it here and want to give others the chance to come to love it too.

Why they chose this property

For generations, my family has enjoyed Lake Lanier on this property that we are now listing for rent. In 2007, we began construction on this house on a lake lot that has been in our family for over 50 years. This new house was our attempt to better our property and provide others with an opportunity to enjoy what we have loved for years and years - Lake Lanier.

What makes this property unique

Our property is the perfect getaway for a number of different reasons. The home is large enough to host a sprawling family reunion, a business retreat for top executives, or a lake vacation for a smaller family who wants an intimate setting on Lake Lanier. In any weather, this property has something to offer - the great water activities of the late spring and summer, and the fall activities of the surrounding North Georgia Mountains.

No weddings or large parties. 15 guests total, including children and day visitors.
