About this property

Lake Front, PET, Game Room, Dock, Swim-Fish-Boat, Fire pit, NEW BOAT, Pickleball

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. No need to bring your cornhole set, we have one in the backyard!

We have 4 newer resurfaced pickleball courts in the community!

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

BOAT RENTAL-

20' Bentley $250/day, $1495/week- BRAND NEW for 2025
24' Bentley $275/day, $1595/week

We have Bentley 20' and 24' pontoon boats 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 rate includes a full tank of gas and you must fill the gas tank when finished. Sorry.... no tubing or any other towing. (insurance rules). Please reserve the boat early, we only have 2 boats for our 4 homes. 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.

Enjoyed Our Stay

We enjoyed our stay at your house. The house was very clean and spacious. We felt very comfortable. The view of the cove was awesome, especially early in the morning. We saw a couple of deer wandering through the back yard. Hope the next time we stay, we can stay longer and enjoy all the amenities.

Location sells this rental

Location is great, house itself needs work/upgrades for the cost you pay. Disappointed when leaving and taking down sheets from beds the comforters had large yellow stains on them. Very disgusted to see what the family was sleeping on all week.

Birthday celebrations

Very nice property. Beautiful view. Very narrow spiral staircase going downstairs. No door inside to get to hot tub. You have to go outside to access. Kids loved it and used it often. Water pressure in showers not very good. My only major negative would be all the “don’t do this” and “don’t do that” signs all over the place. A little intimidating. Overall, a good time was had by all. It was too cold to sleep enjoy the lake toys.

Lake Retreat

Beautiful, peaceful, and playful place to stay. We spent most of our time outdoors enjoying the hydro bikes, kayaks, and canoes. The smokeless fire pit and hot tub were added fun for the whole family. Oh and let’s not forget all the arcade games & darts. It was also nice to be 1 hour from all kinds of places to visit. We did Amicalola Falls State Park, Six Flags, and Atlantic Square. Can’t wait to come back.

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.

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!
