About this property

"Where Fun And Luxury Mingle" Hot Tub, Tiki Bar, Quiet Cove on the water

Nestled among towering trees on a quiet cul-de-sac, is this great lake house on the quieter northern part of the lake. Closest Lake House Rental to the Olympic Rowing Venue! Rowing events, water sports and fishing are preferred in this location due to large boats not being able to navigate under Clarks bridge, which is just south of us.
This 4 bedroom, 2.5 bath lake house has many conveniences for your vacation or rowing event. Perfect for romantic getaways, family vacations, or simply an unforgettable, stress-free, relaxing retreat.
This house is tastefully decorated with newer furnishings, linens, towels and much more. A fully equipped kitchen with skylight will keep any chef happy, with the dining room on one side and a screened porch that seats six on the other. The porch is also the ideal place for morning coffee with views of the cove.
A comfy living room with stone fireplace has a flat screen TV and digital music channels for your enjoyment. The elegant dining area accommodates eight to ten and overlooks the deck.

The main level has a beautiful master bedroom with a King size bed, full bath with Jacuzzi and French doors leading to the main level deck with a tiki bar!

The house features two spacious decks, one on the main level and one on the lower level, which both span the width of the house and overlook a tranquil cove.

From the decks, the yard slopes downward towards the water with a path leading to a single covered boat dock that's also a party/sun deck with gorgeous views of the cove leading to the Chattahoochee river and lake.

The setting is perfect for all your water activities too. You can bring your boat or rent one nearby. The easy access boat ramp is only a half mile away. Spend your day boating, fishing or swimming, or just relax and enjoy yourself!
Swim, fish or take a ride on the peddle boat right from the dock!
You can enjoy a delicious meal in the formal dining room or a casual barbeque on the spacious deck.
The game room was designed for fun in mind with a pool table, flat screen TV and a dinette that doubles as a card table. With a second kitchen on the lower level, your kids can eat and play downstairs while the adults have a quite evening conversing and dining on the main level. The lower level boasts the second deck, also overlooking the cove and allowing plenty of room and privacy on both levels.
The accommodations are perfect for a large family with teens, two couples or two families who want a house to share but still would like to retain some privacy.
For the professional and executives that must stay connected, there is a private office with a desk and high speed internet access.
The house, furnishings and indoor lighting are all very soothing. Enjoy the natural setting, a delicious meal with family or friends, or a fun-filled day on the lake. Let's not forget the inviting hot tub, privately situated on the lower deck among the trees. With all the amenities we have to offer, you will feel so at home, that you'll be thinking about when you can come back before you even leave!

Good older home with boat dock
As the photos indicate, this home is older and outdated. But it was very clean. We did not have a large group, but it would be perfect for one - lots of beds and bedrooms, and two kitchens on multiple levels. Would be great for multiple families. We brought our 22’ power boat and enjoyed the deep water. It’s about a 20-25 minute boat ride to Gainesville Marina, and obviously further to Margaritaville / south end. Not an issue for us; we enjoy cruising. The home is extremely close and convenient to the public boat ramp. The only thing I wish we had known was how steep lake access is. The dock is quite a haul from the house. We made it work, and we would stay here again, but be prepared for a hike when you get off the boat.

Practical space perfect for large groups
We had a large group, and this house worked great for our one week stay. The kitchen was very well equipped for preparing and serving large dinners. We really enjoyed the screened in porch as an additional eating area. We also enjoyed many swims at the dock. The sleeping accommodations were comfortable and plentiful. There was a leak in the utility room and the caretaker quickly responded and got it repaired.

What a great place!
We so enjoyed our time here!! The house is absolutely perfect for families with older children. Having the bottom floor to themselves was perfect. They had everything they needed. The main floor was great for the entire family and we spent every meal enjoying the beautiful dining table. But the sunroom was probably my favorite!! This house is great for large families. So much much to do and the lake is perfect for swimming fishing and just enjoying. What a great house and experience!!! Don’t pass up on this house just because it’s a little dated. It’s really amazing!!!!

Lovely time, but could get past the Spiders...
We really enjoyed our stay, the house is nice inside and well kept. We do realize now that the spiders in Georgia are plentiful. This isn't a time to go to the lake. It is very low and the dock is hard to get out onto. We didn't utilize any of the water equipment because of the spiders on the dock. I cleaned the spiders from the back deck 2-3 times in 4 days, they just kept coming back. In talking to people who live in Gainesville, the spiders are just normal around the lake. They do not bite and are just normal for that area.

Great bang for your buck on Lake Lanier
This property was perfect for ourselves and our family. There were plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms and a large dining table that seated 10. The location was only a few miles from town and was a convenient home base for exploring NE GA towns.

Amazing Vacation
My family absolutely loved our time here! The boat dock and the amenities were amazing! We never stayed at a lake house property before and I’m so glad this was our first, it did not disappoint! Property owners and caretakers were timely with communication and so easy to work with! Bring your swimsuits and sunscreen because you’re never going to want to leave the water. The screened in patio was great for meals and hanging out.

Great Place!
Would definitely recommend here! I was skeptical at first because of the mixed reviews, but I’m glad we booked! The basement does not smell like mold or mildew, yes the decor is outdated & the picture should be updated to show the current state of the residence. Besides little things here and there, the place was great and the location is very peaceful!

Our check in was hassle free and the property manager was great. The view was breathtaking beautiful view of the lake.

Misguided
the pictures online are deceptive ; the porches are old , full of large spider webs and leaves , the deck is collapsing by the firepit . The house smells like mildew and is in desperate need of updating , lost in the 70's . When we arrived , the place looked like we weren;'t expected , needs lots of TLC ; no idea what the property manager does ?????

Near Lake Lanier nice hot tub and game room
Our group is not picky. The hot tub, the nice screened in porch and kitchen are pluses. This house does have a mild mold problem that we could smell on our own pillows later (we bring our own) at our own home. House had its hey day in the 80s and is now neglected to the point of be noticeable. Sliding doors very difficult to move. The deck and tiki bar completely un-managed (needed a leaf blower or broom). Clip the plants back so folks can walk on the walkway to the front door (would help). For the price we think it is okay. We enjoyed swimming at the nearby Clarks Bridge Park and Don Carter State Park. Has washer and dryer. Very steep access down to lake cove that does allow boating out to larger lake.

A lot of fun at the lake
The house is spacious, and it was very clean. We had a blast at the lake and enjoyed the games/floats/kayaks/etc. provided by the owner - thanks! The kitchen is well-stocked with everything for cooking, and the appliances are in good shape. Lots of spices and condiments. The shower pressure was great too. The house décor is dated, but the reason we don't give it a 5 star review is that there are certain repairs that should have been addressed by the owner, some of which had been mentioned before by other reviewers. There's evidence of water damage and mold/mildew in the lower level, and a musty smell that should be aired out before guests arrive. Overall, though, it didn't prevent us from having a great time, but it was something worth mentioning. Some of the older reviews are way too harsh. If these issues are addressed, it would deserve a 5 star review.

Quiet Vacation Location
Little Circle was an ideal location for a quiet weekend, especially for boating. Being on the north end of Lake Lanier truly does keep the boating traffic down to reasonable levels. Local amenities are close & convenient. We also leveraged the Clark Bridge boat ramp (.8 mile away) for loading/unloading our boat instead of carrying up/down the hill to onsite boat dock.

About the host

Hosted by John F. Parillo

Host profile image
As a busy owner/manager of a Construction company, I was looking for a place where I could be on the water and enjoy a number of activities or just kick back and relax and this place did it for me. I use the lake house in between vacationers, whenever I can get away from work!

Why they chose this property

A great get-a-way with everything you need at the house. Our place is well suited for two couples, families with teens or families with children above 10 years old. There are many things to do in this northern part of the lake which is also the quieter side if y our seeking tranquility.
Note: Being respectful of our neighbors on each side of the house, our place is not ideal for large parties, reunions or loud guests.
Also, due to high decks and the distance between the house and the water (which is moderately steep), families with children under 10 may want to consider a better suited house for younger children.

What makes this property unique

The short drive into town, calmer waters on the north end of the lake separates this house from many others.
