Perfect lake location in open cove! Private dock, Outdoor Kitchen & Fire Pit

This spacious, sparkling clean house on Lake Lanier, which we call Happy Ours, is the perfect lake getaway. Whether you’re celebrating an occassion or just want to spend time with friends or family, there’s room to be comfortable here. Situated on an open cove but not on rough "big water", you will be thrilled you found Happy Ours.

This beautiful home has bedrooms and bathrooms on three different levels, which offers privacy to your group. The main living area has a vaulted ceiling, hardwood floors, and lots of natural light from the wall of windows that overlook the trees and the lake. There are also three separate decks, two of which are covered, and one has an outdoor kitchen and a fire pit.

Down at the lake you have full access to the large private dock with an upper sun deck and plenty of room for swimming, fishing, and just hanging out on the water. You are welcome to bring your own boat and leave it in one of the two slips.

The house is in a great location, just a short drive to downtown Gainesville and Lake Lanier Islands. If you’re in the mood to shop, you can visit the North Georgia Premium Outlets in Dawsonville. And there are lots of great restaurants in the area.

Check out this amazing house and start planning your next family gathering or friend retreat!

Wonderful property
Our multigenerational family enjoyed our spring break here with plenty of room for everyone. We enjoyed the outdoor kitchen and fire pit and the dock allowed us to bring our boat along for the fishers in the family.

Take your own supplies
Property was fine, Joni came over and fixed the TV problem quickly. Kitchen was stocked but low inventory of paper towels, trash bags, no bar soap at all and Blankets. We went to store and bought things we needed. But be aware to take all these things. Grill needed some attention for sure.

Family Thanksgiving on the lake
The house was a wonderful choice for my family of 12 to spend the week of Thanksgiving. It was large enough that we could all spread out and cooking Thanksgiving was made easy with their fully stocked kitchen. We also loved the great outdoor areas of this house.

Great Lake House
This home was awesome, we had 8 guys travel from Tampa Florida for a week long golf trip. This home was very comfortable, centrally located in Gainesville Georgia so you were close to everything you would need. This would be a home we would rent again.
