About this property

Lake Front, PETS, Game Room, Dock, Swim-Fish-Boat, Fire pit, BOAT RENTAL

We have 3 homes in the private gated lake community. We have over 450 reviews of 5 stars ***** on our three vacation homes!!! Please see the bottom of the listing to view our 2 other homes in the same private gated lake community.

We have a Solo Yukon fire pit, just bring your own wood! Enjoy the outdoors next to a fire. We replaced the gas one with this smokeless wood pit.

Special pricing for 4-6 night stays (during off-peak season). The discount is already computed with 7 or more date inquiries. The discount is $112 for the 4th, 5th, AND 6th nights during NON PEASK SEASON. You must inquire for the pricing before booking. The VRBO system does not properly price visits of this duration (4-6 nights). One week rentals and more are automatically discounted by the system (during off-peak season).

We may do a 2 day weekday non-peak rental. Please inquire.

We invite you to our renovated, 4 bedroom, (sleeps 8) 4 full bathroom, lakefront home at the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains in gated, private Lake Arrowhead community just 1 hour north of Atlanta. The dock has room for 2 boats which provide a perfect spot for you to swim, fish, or sunbathe. There is over 120 feet of lakefront right outside your back door. A tranquil waterfall/fountain and koi pond overlook the northern shore of Lake Arrowhead in a quiet cove.

The home includes appliances, linens, furniture, electronics (3 large tvs, SONOS sound system), and fully stocked kitchen. Other amenities include gas fireplace, gas grill, and a washer/dryer.

The home sleeps 8 which includes 1 king, 2 queens and bunk beds- with full bottom and twin on top, and 1 pull out queen sleeper.

HD cable (living room + 2 bedrooms), 3 large tvs + 1 smaller tv, internet and free local dialing included. The recreation room includes granite wet bar, arcade games and many board games (10 board games, ie. monopoly, clue, life, dominoes, trivial pursuit, etc) which provide fun for the whole family. A pack and play and high chair are available upon request before arrival. The two car garage and deck overlooking lake all provide you the amenities of being home.

Do not worry about any rain days at the lake!! Our home features an awesome game room which is fun for all ages. We have a heavy duty foosball table, electronic dart board, and numerous real video arcade games. We have a real GOLDEN TEE video arcade game. The multigame video arcade game has pac man, frogger, centipede, and many, many more classic games.

BOAT RENTAL

$240/day, $1350/week

We have a 20' pontoon boat is available for rent for experienced boaters. If you do want to rent our boat there is a minimum 3-day rental during peak season, 2-day minimum rental off peak season. The gas tank is filled, must return the boat filled with gas. The rate is $240/day, $1350/week. 20 foot Bentley pontoon with a 90 hp engine. Sorry.... no tubing allowed, or any other towing. (insurance rules). Please reserve your boat early. We only have 2 pontoons for our 4 homes so it is first come, first served.

2 hydrobikes, canoe, 10 foot paddle board, and 2 kayaks are available at the home for your enjoyment at no cost.

You can not bring in your own boats, this is not our rule. Lake Arrowhead is a private lake which is subject to covenants which dictate that visitors boats are not allowed. The gate house will check the name on the boat registration with the homeowners name.

We have a 6 person hot tub, which has a water fall, and numerous jets. Who needs the warm weather when you can enjoy a 100 degree hot tub on a winters day, sipping champagne! We change the water and clean the hot tub after each rental for your hot tubbing pleasure.

There is a spiral staircase from the main floor to the lower floor. I would recommend that people that have mobility issues use the main floor bedrooms.

We recommend trip cancellation insurance. Protect your vacation. When we reserve your rental we turn dozens of other customers away while holding the property for you. If someone cancels on us it is hard to find another renter on short notice. When my family goes on vacation we purchase trip insurance, it has saved us a few times.

Must be at least 30 years old to reserve.

Lots of Amenities
25mins to main town of Canton which has a cute town and lots of big block stores shops (Walmart, target, publix, etc). The house is great!- two bedrooms upstairs, two bedrooms downstairs. Kids loved the old school video games. We had a fire one night. The lake is very calm, not huge but big enough to venture out. We went kayaking, canoeing, hydrobiking (my kids couldn't reach the pedals (6yrs and 10yrs but they sat on the sides and went with me), paddle board. We fished off the dock and caught some small fish. Hubs went out in canoe and kayak but didn't catch anything big. Kitchen has basic necessities- has both keurig and reg coffee maker. The view is incredible. The water at dock was about 3-3.5 feet - muddy/slimy on the bottom - bring water shoes! We used the hot tub and it was perfect for four of us. There are LOTS of deer. They are so calm and very friendly, they wonder around the property- kids loved watching them from the deck. We didn't go to the clubhouse or marina or any trails but definitely next time. The pictures don't do the place justice! It is one of the best locations on the lake and the property is great. Great backyard, lots of privacy and just set back enough but still great views. Also, the stairs in the backyard to get to the water are minimal, just typical one level - (some of the houses have very steep and lots of stairs) FYI- our cell service was poor and barely could get service in the house. text and wifi were fine!

The house was amazing and being right on the lake was great. We loved having the boat for the week and the kids loved the kayaks, canoe, paddle board and the water bikes were a big hit. Everyone had a great time fishing, swimming and just hanging out at the house.

Lazy Days on Lake Arrowhead
We recently had the pleasure of staying at this lakefront home, and it was an unforgettable experience! The stunning property, nestled in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, offered everything we could have hoped for in a vacation home and more. The house comfortably accommodated our group of eight. With four bedrooms and four full baths, we never felt crowded. The beds were comfortable, and the fully stocked kitchen and grill made meal prep a breeze. The game room was a big hit, and the six-person hot tub was another favorite. The outdoor space was fantastic. The home had over 120 feet of lakefront, providing breathtaking views and easy access to the water. We spent our days swimming, fishing, and sunbathing on the dock. We explored the lake on two hydrobikes, a canoe, a paddleboard, and two kayaks; don’t miss what we dubbed Bird Island! We also took advantage of the boat rental option and spent a few days cruising around on the 20-foot pontoon. We were greeted by deer, including two newly-born fawns, daily and saw various birds, turtles, squirrels, chipmunks, and even a water snake. Be sure to check out the Tellus Science Museum in Cartersville and grab some good eats at Fire It Up BBQ, Perrotta’s Pizza, and Giggle Monster Craft Donuts. The hosts were responsive and ensured we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We highly recommend this lakefront home; we can’t wait to return!

Clean
This place is the cleanest Vrbo home I’ve stayed at, they are on top of it. The location is perfect, the views were amazing, super quiet, had all necessities needed for the lake life, just pull up and enjoy. used the canoe the most and caught dozens of bass all around the lake from the canoe everyday. Great fishery if you’re into fishing. Caught several bass around the dock also, we didn’t even leave the cabin or lake area the entire trip. Every day a dozen deer would show up to visit. This place is the whole package if a lake getaway is what you’re looking for. Can’t wait to come back. Can’t get over how clean the place was, truly that clean.

Lake Arrowhead Christmas
This is a beautiful house, the location on the lake is amazing. We were greeted with 6 deer grazing in the backyard on arrival. The house was clean, and spacious with all the necessities we could ask for. There were a few things that should be addressed, the fireplace remote didn't work. The icemaker in the kitchen fridge was overflowing with ice and wouldn't stop. Wine fridge doesn't work, and the dishwasher detergent trap door was broken off and missing. Which made it difficult to clean the dishes. I do want to say we had a wonderful time and would recommend the house to anyone who loves the lake life. It is beautiful, the location is close to Atlanta, so you're not driving for hours to get there. Would love to stay again, maybe during the summer or early fall.

Good for family vacations
We had a lot of fun. There was plenty to do, fishing, swimming, playing games and relaxing outside at the dock. Fishing was great, we caught a lot of largemouth bass and some yellow perch, bluegills and one big black grappie. The water was warm enough to go swimming everyday and we enjoyed using the pontoon boat. Rob was very nice and helped us when we had some questions about fishing and some other things. All in all we enjoyed our stay at arrowhead lake.

Beautiful Lake Frontage
This is our third time, visiting Lake Arrowhead, and our first time at this property. The home was beautiful very clean and communication with Rob was excellent. Huge flat (way better than most) backyard, tons of windows to show off lake views, plenty of parking spaces, boat rental for the week through host, tons of additional lake toys, house was very clean. A couple of things the owner can’t control but worth mentioning; area off dock is shallower (4 feet ish) it also has some lake weeds so can make floating off dock tricky, can not tube off boat due to insurance which was a disappointment to kids, staircase to bottom floor is a little tight. Overall I would highly recommend this place! We had an incredible week. Thank you Rob!

Great family time
Who says sequels aren't usually as good as originals? This is the second time our family has joined together (we're a bit spread out) at the Leyden Lakehouse (thus, our sequel) for a week of lake activities, games, wonderful dinners, and just plain fun family time! We're here to say that it was as good or better than the first visit to Lake Arrowhead, perhaps because we knew what to expect and were not disappointed. Just like when you go to your favorite restaurant over and over, we got what we wanted and more. The kayaks, hydrobikes, canoe, and paddle board were all used, as were the foosball and arcade games. The bonus was a new electronic dart board. Still, the best part is cooking in the kitchen and eating in the dining room with the fabulous views of the lake! We are sure to return!

About the host

Hosted by rob leyden

Host profile image
We are two hard working entrepreneurs with two very young children. We bought this property as an investment for our future and to be able to get away from the city life and retreat to a much more relaxing environment. Lake Arrowhead brings us to a place where we leave the stress behind and focus on family and the outdoors.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with Lake Arrowhead for many reasons but mostly due to it offering lake living, mountains, close proximity to a major city, all while being nestled in a private, gated, quiet, golf community. We live in Roswell, GA so finding this gem, less than 1 hour from home, was the perfect investment for us. We welcome you to stay at our home and fall in love with this hidden treasure in the foothills of the Blue Ridge mountains - just as we have!

What makes this property unique

If you love being outdoors, Lake Arrowhead is the place for you (golf, swimming, boating, tennis, hiking, fishing, etc). Imagine a day waking up to a beautiful sunrise overlooking a tranquil lake, with deer visiting in your back yard. Enjoy breakfast outside on the deck with a beautiful view. Take a ride on a pontoon boat for a few hours or simply kayak or paddle boat along to the next cove. Travel an hour away and take in an Atlanta Braves game. Then visit some of the finest restaurants in the United States in Buckhead.....what a perfect day!
