Lake Living at Its Finest! 2 BDR for 6 w/ Amazing views, Perfect for Families

Live the life that only a lakefront property can provide in this lovely 2-bedroom cottage on picturesque Lake Lanier. Every mile of this expansive shoreline is yours to explore, and you’ll have a front row seat day and night to serene views of the natural surroundings. A new 2-story dock is the perfect place to spend your days soaking up the sun or enjoying a few beverages with friends. That’s not the only way to enjoy the lake, however, as you could also rent kayaks, paddleboards, and other assorted water-themed amenities to make the most of your experiences swimming, fishing, or sightseeing.

With all this right at your fingertips, you may not even want to venture away from the home. Should the mood eventually strike you, downtown Buford is only 3 miles away offering shopping, dining, and entertainment. A little way further and you’ll be in the town of Sugar Hill where you can book a tasting at the local distillery, and from there you can continue on to the Mall of Georgia where you can shop to your heart’s content at over 200 local and national brand stores. Make your way north of the home to Lanier Islands where you’ll find even more dining options, a championship golf course, and the exciting Margaritaville waterpark.

Even while inside the home you’ll enjoy unlimited views of the lake. The elegant décor is the ideal blend of form and function, and you’ll feel relaxed in no time among the soothing neutral color palette. The open floor plan seamlessly blends the living and dining spaces together underneath vaulted ceilings with stately exposed beams. The cozy living room features comfortable sofa and armchair seating along with a smart TV to make you feel right at home streaming all of your favorite shows and movies. Prepare delicious homecooked meals in the modern kitchen with its stainless steel appliances, glossy countertops, and fully stocked cabinets with whatever cookware and dining ware you may need. Enjoy your well-earned meals at the dining room table with enough seating for the whole group. Your morning cup of coffee, brewed on the Keurig coffee maker, is best taken in the sunroom where you can enjoy the peaceful views of the lake as the day begins anew.

This home sleeps up to 5 guests between 2 private bedrooms.

Bedroom #1 includes a queen size bed and access onto the lake-facing sunroom.

Bedroom #2 includes a twin-over-full bunkbed.

The home also includes a full guest bathroom with a single vanity and shower/tub combo.

THINGS TO NOTE:
• Washer and dryer in home.
• Driveway parking available for up to 4 vehicles.
• The boat slip is unavailable this year, but guests can moor their boats of less than 22 ft to the dock. Please let the property manager know if you plan to do this.
• This home is equipped with an outdoor security camera monitoring the dock, as well as a Ring doorbell on the front door.

With several million visitors annually enjoying its recreational facilities, Lake Lanier is the most popular lake in the southeast. The largest lake in Georgia, Lanier boasts 700 miles of shoreline spread over 38,000 acres of spectacular scenery. The water in Lake Lanier comes from Georgia’s Blue Ridge Mountains. The rain falls on the mountains, runs over beautiful waterfalls, and then makes its way down to Lake Lanier via the Chattahoochee and Chestatee Rivers. This expansive lake offers something for everyone, with over 45 parks lining its shores. Though the most popular activities include fishing, boating, and camping, based on the area’s abundant natural resources, Lake Lanier has recreational activities for the whole family. Lake Lanier also has golfing facilities as well as the world's best kayaking, water skiing and swimming.

In nearby Buford, Georgia, Historic Main Street comes alive as local artists display their eclectic wares at the historic Tannery Row Artist Colony right up the street from quaint upscale restaurants and decor shops. Buford is also home to the Buford Community Center, Town Park & Theatre which hosts free outdoor movies and concerts, and ticketed stage plays and concerts at an indoor state-of-the-art auditorium. Buford Community Center is also home to the Buford History Museum. The jewel of Buford, the historic Bona Allen Mansion, sits at the edge of Main Street and plays host to private events and weddings.

Clean and Lovely Views BUT Not generously stocked / No activities
Though this home is adorable and clean, with a lovely view of the cove, our family was disappointed to arrive and discover that ALL of the lake activity gear was visible but not accessible. (Paddle boards/floats/boat/etc). It was a tease! We would have been happy to have paid extra to have had access to everything. As a result, we had to spend our days elsewhere, at marinas where we could rent boats and gear for an additional fee. So we weren't able to take advantage of the lake house for "lake activities." Also the upper deck of the dock has NO shade, so we couldn't enjoy the dock either, which was a bummer. The house has no games, cards, books, puzzles, etc. It was not stocked with coffee or creamer. It was much more bring-your-own-EVERYTHING than we were led to believe. Had we understood, we could have planned / rented and/or shopped in advance / etc. So, while the place is delightful, it wasn't what we'd hoped or thought it was going to be.

Nice Property!
The house was very clean and the furnishings and beds were very comfortable. Great views of the lake and a nice dock to sit on and swim from with ease. A few things for "The Suggestion Box" -Have a laminated set of instructions explaining different things about the property including how to work the thermostat, the television remotes, check in/check out lists, wifi info, etc. -Clean kitchen sponges, kitchen towels and some oven mitts as none of this was available -Clothes hangers as there were none anywhere in the house -Some nice chaise lounges to sit on as there were only some uncomfortable chairs. Difficult to bring these types of things when you are flying in from out of state.

Amazing! Cute! Clean!!!
This little house on the lake is perfect! It is located on a very cute and quiet street. The interior is decorated so nicely and the house was SUPER CLEAN. They provide so many extra little essentials that were very helpful like dishwasher pods and laundry pods. The kitchen is essentially brand new and immaculate. The room in the back with the large windows looking out to the dock is such a nice place to sit and relax. We traveled with three kids under 7 so the bunk beds and their close proximity to the master bedroom were perfect!!! There is a set of bunk beds in the sun room and in a separate room so there was plenty of sleeping options for our kids. We will definitely be staying here again in the future when we travel to visit family in GA. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
