We had a lovely stay at this home! The view of the lake and the dock are exceptional. The upper deck is great if you like sun, and the lower deck has couches and chairs for those who want to stay in the shade.

Awesome Lakehouse!

We had so much fun at this house! It was plenty of room for the six of us and we really enjoyed all of the outdoor living space: the sandy beach, fire pit, boathouse deck and, of course, the water!

Excellent Home Base

We rented this for a family wedding 6 miles up the road. It was perfect for running in, eating, napping, changing, and dashing out again. Mike and Karyn were quick to respond to questions and very hospitable. We stayed 4 nights and it was just what we needed for the occasion.

Great lakefront location.

Myself, my mother and children loved our stay at Pier 39! The kids loved swimming off the dock and in the beach area. We rented a boat and having the lakeside location was perfect to restock up on supplies throughout our day on the water. The cove was calm and peaceful, neighbors and hosts were extremely friendly. I highly recommend this unit, see you again next year!

Great lake getaway home

Having access to the lake just outside your doors and views from almost every room was amazing! the hosts were very generous with their lily pad and even provided us with s'more stuff! Getting to see deer everyday and paddling to the beautiful "fun" island everyday across from the property was and diving off the top deck, was the best end of summer vaca for us and our kids. Thank you and we hope to be back to this amazing home! Very clean and had everything and more that we needed.

A peaceful oasis

This is a lovely place to stay. The terrace level is beautifully decorated, comfortable, and clean. All the windows look out to the lake and boat docks which is just a short walking distance away from swimming, canoeing or kayaking. It was so peaceful and if you are lucky you will be blessed to see a few deer visitors walk through. The owners are super friendly and accommodating. Thank you Mike and Karyn

GA Staycation Central

Pier39 hosts, Mike & Karyn, went above and beyond to make our family vacation wonderful! The home was beautifully decorated, clean, comfortable and spacious, and set on a magnificent and peaceful section of Lake Lanier which could be viewed from the family room/master bedroom. The kitchen was small, yet packed with all necessary amenities (stove, oven, full size refrigerator, toaster oven, coffee maker, etc). Outdoors, there was plentiful and comfortable seating on the party dock, a canoe and kayak to enjoy along with a firepit and grill; what more could one ask for? If you are looking for a family getaway on the lake, consider Pier 39 a top choice!

RELAXING STAY

Mike and Karyn are great hosts. You have full privacy, but they are there if you need anything. Very clean. View is beautiful, walk out the door and you are at the lake. Deer feed right in front of you. Close to a lot of shopping and food. You can cook in or eat out. We did use the fire pit. We didnt take advantage of the lake, but we were just there and it was too cold, but I did have coffee each morning at the picnic table looking at the lake. Very relaxing and quiet. I'm sure summer would be a blast with this location. There is a full size washer and dryer for your use. You wont be disappointed, this place is spacious and your family can spread out and have privacy. We would definitely recommend to anyone staying in this area, it was close to everything we were doing. Thanks Mike and Karyn for sharing your home with us.

A great Lake getaway!

We had a great time at Mike and Karyn's Lake house. We found it prepared for our arrival, clean and comfortable. We had everything we needed and appreciated the use of their water toys. The house is in a great location on the lake near a boat launch. Also close to town making it easy to find stores and restaurants. We would stay here again!

Cozy house with gorgeous, relaxing view of the lake

Mike and Karyn were very friendly, welcoming and helpful. The house was perfect for our weekend getaway. We loved kayaking and relaxing on the deck. The house was both roomy and cozy. The beds were very comfortable. We would definitely stay again if we come back to the area.

Wonderful hosts, wonderful location on the lake!

We loved our stay here. The location is perfect: right on the lake with plenty of options for everyone, from relaxing on either level of the dock to kayaking, paddle boarding, and canoeing. There are views of the lake everywhere. The hosts pay attention to all of the little details that make the stay especially fun and comfortable. They are extremely kind and quick to help if you have any questions. Highly recommend! Thank you Mike and Karyn!
