Lakeside Retreat Lake Lanier-Come enjoy all that North Georgia has to offer!

Welcome to Dawsonville and one of North Georgia’s most intriguing locations, Lake Lanier. Here you will enjoy beautiful North Georgia mountains, vineyards, outlet and boutique shopping, hiking trails, as well as a short drive to downtown 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.

Beautiful Property, Great Hospitality!
This property was just as cute as the pictures. The cabin was spotless and well maintained, the fridge was filled with all of the necessities and then some - and Donna even grabbed a few of our favorite snacks and beverages, a very welcoming touch. Donna's hospitality is top notch, we will be back!

Terrific birthday getaway
I booked this for my fiancé and I to get away for his birthday and as a last rest before he started a new job. Donna was extremely responsive throughout the process. She asked about our preferences for coffee too! We arrived to a beautifully fall decorated retreat including a happy birthday banner and treats. We enjoyed our stay. There was nothing we needed that wasn't provided. The area is extremely peaceful and I even got some work done sitting on the deck enjoying small but nice view of the lake. We even had time for a romantic dinner at nearby winery.

Anniversary trip
Paraphrased text: This location exceeded our expectations and was even better than described. We couldn't have chosen a more ideal place to reside. The cottage was equipped with all the essentials. The surroundings were peaceful, and all the people we encountered during our morning strolls were very welcoming. Donna was exceptional.

Cutest little bungalow
We stayed for a very quick weekend. We attended a wedding within 30 min of the property and didn't want a stuffy hotel. The place is adorable, clean, has everything you need, and is nicely tucked away from the hustle of city life. I saw a hummingbird outside the window the first day and knew we had found the perfect little weekend spot.

Awesome cabin!
Loved this little cabin! The host is unbelievable, the best host I have ever experienced. She is extremely communicative, the kitchen and bathroom were fully stocked with EVERYTHING! She went above and beyond and left a bottle of wine, chocolate, and a happy birthday sign for my birthday. Gave us great recommendations for some local wineries and things to do. There is a gas grill outside that has everything you need, just bring your own meat and veggies! So easy! Very safe neighborhood, great neighbors, close to many attractions, like Helen, wineries, and Dahlonega. Highly highly recommend! I will definitely stay here again Next time I am in the area. If I could give 10 stars, I would!

Great vibes!!!
This property is amazing. It was beautifully decorated. It had everything that we needed. Donna, who is the host, put up decorations and left me a nice gift for my birthday. She was also very quick to respond to any questions that we had. She made us feel like we were not alone. Her deck is awesome for fishing. The neighborhood is nice and quiet and the neighbors are super friendly. I will definitely be rebooking this property.

Excellent Master Studio Cottage
"I can't express enough how incredible this place is! It's truly a hidden gem, beautiful, cozy, and impeccably clean. Donna, our host, was absolutely fantastic. She's incredibly attentive and responsive to any questions or concerns. The kitchen is fully stocked with all the essentials, and the bathroom has an abundance of fresh, fluffy towels. Additionally, there's a diverse range of fantastic dining options and enjoyable activities nearby. Without a doubt, I'll be recommending this place to friends and family. I'm already looking forward to returning in the future.

Wonderful Getaway! Amazing Host!
We loved this rental on Lake Lanier. We were celebrating our 28th Anniversary and we were not disappointed. As soon as we stepped into the one room studio, we were met with a beautifully decorated room and a banner over the bed celebrating our special day. Donna, our amazing hostess, had prepared snacks and drinks to bless our time there. She also was always quick to respond to our questions and needs. She even came to meet us at the cottage which was an additional blessing. We loved the outdoor areas on the decks and the jetted tub. We will definitely be back again!
