Lakeside Retreat Lake Lanier Book now for winter and spring!

Welcome to Dawsonville and one of North Georgia’s most intriguing locations, Lake Lanier. Here you will enjoy beautiful North Georgia mountains, vineyards, outlet shopping, hiking trails, etc. Only an hour north of Atlanta. This quaint studio cottage has all you need for a perfect getaway.
You will enjoy fully furnished nights with a plush king size bed, fully stocked chef’s kitchen, and a custom designed master bath with a stand-up shower and a beautiful air-bath tub. Comfortably heated floors are included for colder nights and a gas firepit table on the deck.. On warmer evenings you will enjoy sitting on the outdoor porch, overlooking the tranquil garden of evergreens or on the newly added side deck with views of Lake Lanier.(Please know that we are on the lake, but we do not have a dock.)
This will be a perfect alternative to a hotel stay for you while visiting Lake Lanier, North Georgia mountains, wineries, or Dahlonega. We live right around the corner on the lake with a two story dock complete with lounge chairs on top. We also have two kayaks and a paddle board that are available with access to the lake from our dock. You are more than welcome to hang out on our dock and fish/swim. I also have parking for a boat and you’re welcome to keep it at my dock while you are there. Also, if you would like to rent jet skis, here’s a link to use. https://lanierluxuryjetskirentals.com/index.php

What a beautiful little house! We just loved staying there. We were impressed with all the extra little touches that Donna went to that made our stay so memorable. And such a nice woodsy neighborhood with views down to the lake. We will definitely be looking for any excuse to come back…soon!!

Best VRBO rental ever!

Our cottage was as lovely as it looked in the photos. It was comfortable, clean and beautifully appointed, with our comfort in mind. The refrigerator was well stocked (and even included the wine of my choice!), and there were fluffy, soft robes provided. Donna spared no detail to insure our comfort and enjoyment.

Short GetAway

Our stay was wonderful! The hospitality shown by the owner was exceptional and the effort she put in to make us feel welcomed is unmatched!! The home was adorable and very comfortable and clean! The location is perfect, kinda secluded and tucked away but still close enough to restaurants and shopping. I definitely recommend this property to anyone looking for a getaway for 2

The reviews here are 100% correct. Every little detail is taken care of. The communication and ease of renting is just wonderful. I have been a member for many years and have never seen as many amenities or a better stocked kitchen and pantry. It was amazing.

More than a ReTreat: A REAL TREAT!!

Our first impression, which was GREAT, lasted throughout our 2-day stay! If anything, it got GEATER, until the locking of the door, which closed out a wonder-filled, very personalized experience! The host was amazing, available for ANY need, (for which we had none, because this “little” cabin came with EVERYTHING, and more!) 3 B’s:the BED, the BATHROOM, and the BIRD-themed environ, was amazing! The kitchen was completely supplied and stocked! Our Wish is to return!

May Getaway

We loved everything about this property. Its perfect for 2 people and located just a short distance from the things we wanted to do. For us, that included Gibbs Gardens, Amicalola Falls, Dahlonega, Georgia Racing Hall of Fame and plenty of antique shops. You won't find a better host either! Donna had the refrigerator stocked with our favorite beverages and plenty of breakfast items to choose from. It was such a treat to stay here!

Welcoming Cottage

The VRBO owner is welcoming and checked on us to make sure we had everything we needed. Lots of stocked snacks, drinks, and a great variety of Keurig coffee flavors. The cottage is just the right size for two. Nice bathroom, kitchen and comfortable bed. The location at the lake is scenic and Gainesville and Dahlonega are not far away.
