Great Thanksgiving

My family absolutely loved our stay at this cabin. It was perfect!!! There was plenty to do in the surrounding area. The cabin was just as described and was in great shape. We cannot wait to go back and enjoy the lake. The owners were great and very responsive. I would absolutely recommend this property.

Great stay!

We really enjoyed our stay! The house was perfect. Although it looks small when driving in but we had plenty of room to move around without being on top of one another. The decor was full of rustic charm which I loved. The walk down to the lake is a steep one but that’s all part of the deal with staying on the lake as far as I’m concerned. But it could be tricky for some. The kitchen was incredibly well equipped which made cooking a joy. The screened in porch was my favourite spot for coffee every morning. The only thing I would say is that list of activities and places to rent boats and other lake toys would have been a helpful addition to the welcome book. A more comprehensive list of restaurants would have been good too. We found Papa’s Place on our last day and if we had know about it earlier we put would have gone everyday. So good! And not the usual chain you find on 400. All in all it worked out though Anita was very helpful when I rang her to ask some questions. I’d stay here again.

Family lake getaway

We had an awesome stay! Kitchen was well-equipped and plenty of space for our family. As others have mentioned the path to the dock is steep with many steps but the the exercise was worth the reward to sit on the dock and reading. I do recommend parking up top since the driveway is steep.

My families annual beach vacation, was at lake Lanier this year, great choice..

A great little cabin, very rustic. A steep climb, but well worth the beautiful, and deep water dock at the bottom of the hill. The host was accessible and very easy to communicate with. A good value.

Lanier lake house

We enjoyed our time at this lake house. It was the perfect place to get away from the busy day to day. The location was ideal for us. The driveway was a bit treacherous, but there was parking on the street that we took advantage of. Unfortunately, the weather made it difficult for us to take advantage of the dock, but there was plenty in the house to keep us busy.

Perfect PreChristmas

We were here for parent’s 50th Anniversary Celebration. The lake house was a perfect location for travel to and from events. As a few have mentioned, the drive is steep but after a time or two of navigating, it really was not an issue. The house had a beautiful view and was wonderfully decorated. Was an extra treat to have the house decorated for Christmas and looked like something in a Hallmark movie, even had a lovely gift for us on the counter! The host had everything we could need with kitchen staples, if anything was forgotten. The beds were very comfortable and the towels and linens were of higher quality. The 17 and 20 year old niece and nephew loved the bunk room and the foosball and multivideo arcade machine. The four adults enjoyed the time visiting in front of the fire. It was a perfect long weekend get away!

Quick Christmas Getaway to Dahlonega

We really enjoyed our time at this cute, rustic cabin. The view of the lake is gorgeous! It was a short drive to Dahlonega, and not far at all from restaurants and stores. The kids LOVED the downstairs area with the bunk beds and game area. We were a little nervous about the driveway after seeing some of the reviews - it is steep - but it was easy to navigate with a backup camera. Anita was quick to respond and we appreciated the bag of goodies that she left for us. We had a great time!

Beautiful Quiet Getaway

My family absolutely loved this Lake House. It was a wonderfully rustic and cute house perfect for a stay with the family. The house was clean and the owner responded quickly to any questions I had. The only thing I would state is that the bunkbed room is adjacent to the room downstairs so there really isn't much privacy for all of the people staying down there as sound carries in the house pretty good. Other than that it was a perfect little getaway. I especially loved the porches on each floor with seating to relax outside.

Great Winter Getaway

Enjoined I’ma short weekend at this property and it was so pleasant. It’sa quiet neighborhood and the home was clean. It also came stocked with tons of dry good essentials that can be easily forgotten (spices, oils, coffee). We asked a few questions with the owner and received very quick responses as well! The only cons are the steep driveway and steep stairs to the lake, but neither were a deal breaker for us. Thank you for providing an wonderful home for us to use.

About the host

Hosted by Anita Anderson

After living in Europe for several years we decided to move back to my husband's native Atlanta and start a family. We love hiking, biking, fishing and all kinds of water sports. One of our biggest dreams was to buy a lake cottage where we can spend some quality time with our children and make some special, wonderful memories that will last us all a lifetime.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with this house the minute we saw it. We love the views of the lake from all three levels! We like the proximity to all the restaurants and attractions, there is just so much to do around here. Having both the lake and the North GA mountains at your doorstep is a really sweet set up.

What makes this property unique

There are so many great things about this house. It's so cozy and warm inside, you walk in and you really feel like 'you've arrived at the lake'. The spacious master suite with it's own verandah overlooking the lake is so unique. The view is beautiful and it's my favorite spot for a morning coffee. We love relaxing on the bottom deck after a fun filled lake day, and nothing compares to an afternoon nap on the swing bed. After a long day on the water it's so nice to gather in the cozy kitchen and have long conversations while preparing a meal together.
