Evergreen Hideaway: Where Cozy Flannels & Festive Memories Live

Looking for a lake retreat where the air is crisp, the coffee tastes better on a screened porch, and the dog gets to explore a carpet of autumn leaves? Welcome to Evergreen Hideaway—your pet-friendly Lake Lanier sanctuary, perfectly positioned for Gainesville’s best fall festivals and holiday magic.

Whether you're here for "The Lighting of the Chicken" or a quiet Thanksgiving by the water, we’re just 1.5 miles from the action at Lake Lanier Olympic Park and a short hop from Snow Island’s winter wonderland.

Fall & Winter Days Done Right
The water might be cooling down, but the fun is just heating up. Evergreen Hideaway is your "base camp" for everything Gainesville:

Paddling & Peeping: Grab our complimentary kayaks or SUP boars for a front-row seat to the best fall foliage in the cove. Please bring your own life jacket to ensure proper fit
Sunset Fishing: The private dock is the perfect spot for quiet autumn mornings or sunset casting (heavy sweater recommended!).
Holiday Hub: Check our digital guidebook for local promo codes and the inside scoop on where to find the best hot cocoa in town.

Local Holiday Magic (The "Don't Miss" List)
Gainesville knows how to celebrate. From your doorstep, you’re minutes away from:

Jingle Mingle & The Lighting of the Chicken: Kick off the season in Downtown Gainesville with carriage rides, Santa, and the legendary poultry-themed tree lighting
Snow Island & Lakeside Lights: Visit Margaritaville at Lanier Islands for the 575-foot "Blizzard Mountain" snow tubing and a walkable holiday light tour
Christmas on Green Street: A Hallmark-movie come to life! Experience the parade of antique cars and historic home tours with live porch performances
Scarecrows in the Garden: Wander through creative handcrafted scarecrow displays at the Atlanta Botanical Garden, Gainesville

Cozy Comforts Inside
After a day of festivals or snow tubing, retreat to open spaces designed for family bonding:

Living Room: A 65" Smart TV for holiday movie marathons and a plush sectional with seating for 8.
Feast-Ready Kitchen: Fully equipped with double ovens—perfect for roasting a turkey, baking holiday cookies, or reheating leftovers from Mule Camp Market.
The Porch: Our screened porch is the family favorite for morning coffee with lake breezes and sunset chats.

Sleep & Recharge
Master Suite: King bed, en-suite bath with double sinks & frameless shower.
Guest Room: Queen bed with a Smart TV.
Kids’ Bunkroom: Two twin-over-full bunk beds, PS4 gaming station, and a Smart Firestick TV.
Extras: Pack ’n Play & high chair provided for the tiniest lake lovers.

Perks & House Rules
Pet-Friendly: Because the dog deserves a vacation, too. 2 pets max must be on a leash outdoors, no fence
Stay Connected: High-speed WiFi for remote work or streaming.
The Basics: Washer/dryer in walkout basement; Minimum age 25; No one-night stays. Max occupency of 9 people at all times.
Safety First: Firearms & fireworks are prohibited (federal lake regulations).

Your New Holiday Tradition Starts Here
At Evergreen Hideaway, fall and winter are about crisp air, glowing lights, and the kind of family laughter that echoes across the water. Pack your favorite hoodie, bring the dog, and get ready for a season you'll want to repeat every year.

Excellent Weekend Getaway

We booked this home for a little getaway but also for our spouses who were competing in a fishing tournament on Lake Lanier (Laurel Park Boat Ramp). The home is beautiful! The kitchen was perfect for us to use to prepare meals and enjoy coffee and the screened-in porch was a great place to hang out and play cards. We enjoyed our stay and plan to stay there again!

About the host

Host profile image

Hi,
I am Tera, a wife, mom, substitute teacher, and travel fanatic. I love sharing my home and hearing your stories. I am honored to host your memories.

Why they chose this property

My family and I bought Evergreen Hideaway GA as a place to reconnect and just slow down. We are about an hour away but during baseball season, we just can’t make it there and wanted to share our home in the hopes that others will make the memories we have already have made.
I would love to read your stories if you choose to write them in the guest book.

What makes this property unique

The screened in porch has to be my favorite place to spend hours with my family. We either play games or watch football on the tv out there.
We hope to make the basement a rec space for the kids to remember.
