About this property
Hygge House on Lanier - the ULTIMATE lake cabin - dock, arcade, hottub, & grills
The Hygge House was established to create an intimate, relaxing, modern space with state-of-the-art (and completely private) smart-home technology, lighting, Sonos audio, and comfort features.
The completely renovated lake cabin offers a unique experience integrating classic A-frame architecture with modern design and technology in a sublime and peaceful lake setting.
Nestled on the quiet and calm north end of Lake Lanier, less than 1 hour north of Atlanta, the Hygge House resides in a very private cove with sweeping lake views and offers a short walk to the dock and water.
The home is 2,300 sq ft and has 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths - a perfect size for both couples as well as small groups up to 8.
As you enter the home, a fully equipped and stocked kitchen awaits you, with all stainless steel appliances, including a convection oven, microwave, 4 burner gas cooktop, refrigerator/freezer, dishwasher, coffee station, and Chick-Fil-A ice machine.
The kitchen includes top-of-the-line Quartz countertops and a automatic on/off Kohler Prolific workstation chef's sink with plenty of entertaining and prep space.
The living space surrounding the kitchen includes dining for up to 8, a modern fireplace and ample seating with long-range views of the lake, the surrounding woods, and unbelievably gorgeous sunsets throughout the year.
The home also comes with a dedicated office area with dual computer monitors and high-end webcam for any work or video calls you might need to do while here.
The cozy all-season screened-in porch offers an outdoor living space and has two sofas, two chairs, a Zen wall, a large industrial remote-controlled fan, and a built-in 6000 watt infrared Bromic heater.
The Primary room features a king-sized bed with a Nectar mattress and top-of-the-line DeWoolfson down comforter, amazing lake views with a floor-to-ceiling glass wall, an Eames lounge chair, and a one-of-one, custom-made "Sherman Oak" headboard.
The headboard was hand-crafted from one of the few remaining oak trees that survived when General Sherman burned down Atlanta during the Civil War. It was sadly hit by lightning in 2019, but was able to be given new life as an amazing art piece and historical remnant.
The Primary room's expansive bath features heated floors, dual vanities, an automatic urinal, a “smart toilet” with built in bidet, and a spacious shower area with multiple shower heads for a soothing and spa-like shower experience.
Downstairs on the terrace level you'll find two spacious rooms, each with spectacular lake views.
The "2nd Primary" offers a floating king bed with a DreamCloud mattress and Dewollfson down comforter, Sonos Move, built-in closet, blackout curtains, and individually controlled bedside wall sconces for each guest's comfort and convenience.
The bunk room isn't just for the kids as it comes equipped with a custom-made bunk bed with a high-end Nectar queen mattress on the bottom and twin XL up top.
Additionally, the room features a 65'' Samsung SmartTV w/ a Sonos Arc, a custom-made Arcade system with over 3,000 classic video games, and has plenty of room for games, yoga, or lounging around on the oversized Lovesac.
The back deck has a dining table for 6 and a custom-made, built-in grill table with a Blackstone griddle and a Kamodo Joe grill, with charcoal, gas, and all grilling tools provided.
The home features a brand new boathouse - the largest allowed on Lake Lanier - and comes with paddleboards, kayaks, floats, life vests, a swim platform and ladder, and other essential lake toys.
The cove is also fantastic for fishing - even right from the dock - and we provide 2 rod-and-reels for guests to use!
The dock is a great place to tie up a boat during your stay - with the boat launch only 5 minutes away and trailer parking at the top of the driveway, it couldn't be easier.
Don't have a boat, but want to rent one? No problem! We have a boat rental service with fantastic rates and you can even keep the boat at the dock during your stay!
We also offer chartered boat captain services as well for those that want to focus on just having fun with friends and family.
Throughout the property are amenities galore, including:
- Fully custom grill area on the back porch that includes a Blackstone griddle and a large Kamodo Joe
- Sonos surround sound system throughout the house
- "Chick-fil-A" ice machine
- ZENKO Fusion Japanese-steel kitchen knives

Our stay at Hygge House was absolutely amazing for our Thanksgiving retreat. The home was exactly as described in the listing, incredibly clean, and beautifully decorated.

So happy that the Hygge House was perfect for you and your bridesmaids for you special day! 💙
From the moment we arrived there was a calming feeling which embodied the exterior and interior of this beautiful home. Lee, our Host, has taken care of everything, leaving all of our needs met. He was also accessible during our stay. I highly recommend this property!
Amazing property, beautiful view, water front access, smart home, and fantastic host. Short drives to surrounding towns and cities were a breeze. We will certainly return for another visit in the future. Thanks for making this trip an incredible experience, Lee.
Originally from the southeast, I’ve spent the last 12 years traveling to 60+ countries around the world and have lived in 6 different (and amazing) cities across North America - it’s been awesome and I’ve had the privilege of meeting so many unique and amazing people.
When I migrated back to my home state of Georgia, it was my dream to be able to design and develop unique and elevated Airbnb experiences and share them with guests from all over the world - really showing them what “southern hospitality” was all about and bringing smiles to their faces.
When I’m not taking care of my amazing guests, I love doing things like boating, wakeboarding, hiking, kayaking, SUP’ing, working out, cooking, taking in amazing vistas, entertaining family and friends, reading, and traveling :)
The best part about being a host for me is meeting new people and helping ensure they have the best trip possible and get a taste of the “hygge lifestyle”!
