Lake Lanier Hideaway Lakefront with Game Room and Dock
Hideaway Cove at Lake Lanier | Private Dock, Canoes & Game Room
Close to everything, yet away from it all.
Welcome to Hideaway Cove, a peaceful lake retreat tucked into one of the northernmost coves of Lake Lanier, where the Chestatee River flows into the lake. Surrounded by wooded hills, abundant wildlife, and the quiet beauty of North Georgia, this is a place to slow down, reconnect, and make memories.
Spend your days paddling the cove in a canoe, relaxing on the deck, exploring nearby mountain towns, or enjoying friendly competition in the game room. Whether you’re paddling the cove, exploring North Georgia, competing in the game room, or gathering around the table for Mahjong and cards, there’s something for everyone to enjoy!

An excellent property to spend a few days with the family, comfortable, all the utensils in good condition, a very complete play area, we are happy to have rented this beautiful house on the river bank
We had a great time at the lake. The house is perfect and set up well for our kids. We enjoyed the lake and canoe. Had a great trip, hope to come back again!
We were in the area for a competition and stayed for the weekend. Quiet area directly on the lake. Our family of 7 had plenty of room. We enjoyed the game room and the homes amenities. Very relaxing!
This is a great space for either a large family or 2 seperate groups. Lots of space, game room is a nice amenity, beds are comfortable. Lots of room for kids and adults
Wonderful long weekend filled with canoeing, hiking and reading a book on the porch. The host was very responsive to questions throughout the rental process. The home provides comfortable furnishings, plenty of room and so many family activities.

Thanks, Cindy! I'm so glad you and your family had a great weekend- canoeing, hiking, and reading sounds like a perfect trip to me!
This property was great for our family needs. We were able to make and serve Thanksgiving for my parents, my sisters and our teenage kids. Karla made sure we had everything we needed. We will definitely rent again!!
The house and property is gorgeous! And the house was stocked whit what we needed. We had a great week. We definitely will come back. Would have liked to bring our little dog because every day the neighbors 2 little dogs ran around the property.
Home was clean and neat with a cabin feel. Came to kayak fish but weather changed to poor. 15 minute kayak ride to Lumpkin ramp, which was convenient to use dock for boats / kayaks. Nice stay. One thing, no garbage cans on site..
My family enjoyed the time there very much. It was much bigger than expected. It was very clean and lots of things to do rain or shine. Everyone said they would love to come back. Thank you Karla for being so prepared for us, accessible and for making our family vacation from Tucson so enjoyable.
We wanted a vacation feel while visiting family in the area- our stay was perfectl Peaceful, lots of levels, decks, room for games and puzzles, book reading, movie night, fire pit, lake sunset, stars. We were able to head into Mall of Georgia for last minute shopping & treats. Would definitely consider coming back in summer to use the lake!
