Best View on Lake Lanier

Lake view is slice of Heaven. Take it easy at this unique and tranquil getaway located in quiet circle. 4 bedroom / 3 bath house recently remodeled with new appliances and AC unit. Master bedroom has Marriott Ritz Carlton SuperKing mattress. Kitchen is fully stocked with everything you could possibly need for cooking. In addition, I supply all coffee - both K-Cups and ground coffee. Multi-level deck house with Weber grill. Outdoor Gazebo with fire pit to enjoy the view.
Private dock with deep water for the brave to jump off the double party deck. Boat parking available at dock and house with public boat ramp access 2 miles away. Easy lake access via four seater golf cart provided at house. Also, two Kayaks, two paddle boards and many other amenities to list.

Historic downtown Gainesville is just 5-10 minutes away, with its charming southern square, boutiques and amazing local restaurants. Don't worry if you forget something - Publix, Target, Dick's Sporting Goods and just about every convenience you'll need is also a quick 10 minute drive, along with several fast food and fine dining restaurants.

Most of the time we allow early check-in (morning) and late check-out (afternoon) depending on availability.
PLEASE NOTE: Due to personal family commitment, there will be no dock access for June 24-27 and July 3-6, 2024.

Family Vacation
From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the breathtaking views of the lake. We took the golf cart around the neighborhood and couldn’t believe how beautiful it was and how many deer we saw! The house itself was spacious and well-appointed, offering plenty of room for everyone. The large deck overlooking the lake was a great spot for morning coffee. The house is filled with anything and everything that you can ask for. Todd and Katherine are so helpful, they even dropped off a baby gate for us to use while we were there. We also had access to a private dock, where we enjoyed swimming, jumping, and a huge raft. It was the perfect family vacation and we will definitely be back.

Cleanest rental by far
This was a wonderful trip, it was very relaxing and in more of a secluded neighborhood. It has beautiful views from every part of the home and deer everywhere (our children really appreciated seeing them). The water was very clean and the dock was amazing. The younger kids spent hours on the water pad or jumping off the docks while the bigger kids were on kayaks and paddleboards. The house was not only immaculately clean but very well stocked with just about anything you can think of.

Summer vacay at the lake
We loved our stay at this house and on lake lanier. The house was so comfortable, with so many fun amenities so we spent a few days just kayaking, paddle boarding, floating, and watching the sunset from atop the top deck of the dock. We also enjoyed day trips to Helen to "Shoot the Hooch" - tube down the Chattahoochee River, and Amicola Falls for a great hike. Both were less than an hour away. We drove into Atlanta and biked the Beltline, which was a lot of fun, and took in the sites and scenes of downtown Atlanta and Olympic Park. The house and lake were the centerpieces of a wonderful week!

Best Landlords in the World!
Todd and Kat were so awesome and made sure we had every thing we needed. They were very accommodating. The house itself was absolutely beautiful and had everything in it that you could possibly need right down to the shampoo and soap in the shower. Everything was beautiful, modern and up-to-date. This house has a gorgeous view. It was so very relaxing to get up there to get away from all the hustle and bustle. Thank you Todd and Kat for being so very kind. We really enjoyed our stay and feel like that it was blessed. Susan & Frank

Sisters and Hubbies Vacation
Property was a perfect choice for 3 sisters and their hubbies to spend time enjoying awesome views of Lake Lanier. Each couple had their own bedroom and bath. The house was clean and comfortable with plenty of room to be together. The amenities were top notch, more included than you could hope for, including use of a 6 person golf cart! Todd, the owner was awesome!

Wonderful Lake Getaway!
We had a wonderful time! Todd was responsive to all our questions and was the best vrbo host we’ve had! The house was immaculate!! Very clean, kitchen had all the things we needed. Everything was quality from the beds to the linens! Beautifully renovated house! Although we didn’t use the dock we did check it out and it was very nice with a great upper deck to hang out on! We’ll definitely be back!! Also, loved that it’s so close to outlet mall and also shopping and restaurants in Gainesville!

Beautiful House. Amazing Host. Unparallelled Amenities.
I can't say enough wonderful things about our host Todd, his beautiful, spotless house, and the breathtaking views. From the newly remodeled and stocked kitchen, the gorgeous primary bedroom, fun game room, stocked bar/darts and basketball, and six-person (ha!) shower to the super cozy, soft bedding, this house is by far the best we’ve stayed in. My parents and I drove up from Florida to attend a ceremony at my youngest son’s school, Riverside Preparatory Academy and my oldest, who is an RPA alum drove down from college to surprise him. On Saturday night, when we were celebrating my youngest son’s 16th birthday, my oldest son had a seizure. Within seconds, Todd, an emergency doctor from across the street, an emergency wagon, and fire stuck where there to take my son to the ER. Thankfully, he was fine, but Todd offered for us to stay another night, enabling us to all get some sleep and spend some extra time together. We can’t thank him enough for all he did. If I could give this gorgeous house, its warm, friendly, and incredibly kind host 10+ stars, I would. We will be back later this summer with all our family to take advantage of the awesome water amenities on the dock!

Beautiful Home. Superstar Host!
Everything about this home far exceeded our expectations! Fully equipped kitchen (even spices and coffee!), games for all ages, comfortable beds, good water pressure in the showers. Todd brought us firewood, which we ended up not using, and even an electric fireplace for downstairs when it got chilly. Plenty of room for everyone at Thanksgiving (26). Absolutely PERFECT week! We’ll be back!

Amazing views with the absolute best hosts
The property has the most amazing views of Lake Lanier with all of the comforts of home. Todd and Kathryn are the most hospitable hosts and helped with every need. They were available for questions at all times and provided more amenities than even described. They made us all feel welcomed and and allowed us to freely use their dock for our boat, jet skis, and other lake toys. We could not have asked for a better place for a family gathering. We truly appreciate the time, effort, and care that Todd and Kathryn have put towards making this property a true lake getaway. We will definitely return and recommend this property to other guests.

Oasis on the Lake
Todd and Kathryn have created a beautiful lake experience with their house on the lake. The house is well equipped with lots of areas to relax and gather inside and out. The lily pad, floaties, kayaks and SUP make hanging out at their dock a blast. The kids are already asking me when we can book again.
