About this property

Lake Lanier Retreat - Spend 2025 on the Lake! Summer Available Now!

This gorgeous lake home is immaculate and ready to accommodate a small family gathering, executive retreat, or any other vacation combination imaginable. The views of the lake are amazing and the location is just as great. Come for all the fun that Lake Lanier can offer, but don't forsake the surrounding areas to visit as well.

This home away from home is conveniently located just 5 minutes from GA 400 and the North Georgia Premium Outlet Mall. Past that, we are located just 30 minutes from Amicalola Falls State Park and its great hiking and sightseeing opportunities. While you're here, don't forget to check out the many other activities that are available, not only in Dawsonville, but in neighboring cities of Dahlonega, Cumming, and Gainesville. The property is also only about an hour's drive from Atlanta, so stay with us and take in some sights of the big city with a short commute.

This 7 bedroom home with expansive terrace level that will amaze you with its classic and tasteful decor and breathtaking views of the water and surrounding mountains. The house is situated in the middle of a deep water cove that is big enough to accommodate boats, jet skis, and swimmers of all kinds, but just off the main waterway enough to keep heavy boat traffic at bay.

This retreat sleeps 15 and is even equipped with a crib for your little one's comfort. The main level houses the full kitchen, laundry room, half bath, dining, breakfast, and living rooms as well as a great sun room facing the water and surrounded by windows. The master suite is also on the main floor and is fully decorated with a king bed, Jacuzzi tub, a walk-in closet and a separate linen closet. The sun room is accessible from the family room and the master bedroom. Just off the sun room is a deck fully equipped with patio furniture and a charcoal grill just down the steps. You will love the views from the deck. Take advantage of them in the early morning and the evening. Nothing beats having your morning coffee on the deck as the mist is lifting off the lake!!

Bedrooms 2, 3, 4, and a bonus room are located on the second level of the home. Bedroom #2 has its own adjoining bathroom, while the other bedrooms share a central hall bath. Queen beds fill bedrooms #2 and #3, along with walk-in closets, while #4 has a double bed and closet. The view of the lake from bedroom #4 is the best in the house. The bonus room (bedroom #5) houses a queen bed and a crib.

The lower terrace level of the house comes equipped with a billiard table, fooseball, and efficiency kitchen in the media room with a refrigerator, sink, and microwave. A huge sectional sofa anchors the media room in front of a 50' flat screen TV. In case you want to spread out and have a need for more beds, we have bedrooms #6 and #7 downstairs to use if your party doesn't want to sleep double. One room downstairs has twin-over-double bunk bed set and the second bedroom has two twin beds. This second bedroom also has an adjoining bathroom with a door to the terrace patio. This feature allows you to enter the bathroom from outside the house. It's really nice to immediately enter the bathroom and get cleaned up after a relaxing swim or exhilarating boat ride. A second full bath is located in the hallway for easy access from the media/gaming area or the first bedroom.

This house truly has it all. The kitchen is fully stocked, as well as the linen closets, for bed and bath. The dock is ready for your boat and water toys. We guarantee you will love your stay!

For the past 14 years I have been taking my three adult children and their spouses, and for the last 12 years six grandchildren on vacation. We have always gone to a beach location and rented nice large houses. This year we decided to try a lake vacation, turns out this was the best ever. The house was beautiful, well equipped, with plenty of room for 14. The view of the lake was exquisite and the dock was perfect for the grandkids to swim and fish off. All agreed, from the youngest to the oldest, this was the best of all the vacations. No more beach.

Family Lakehouse Trip

We stayed at Angie’s property as a family reunion of sorts and the property was perfect. Beautiful home, great spot on the lake, excellent shopping within 10 minutes, and plenty to do. The house is very comfortable and easily fit our group of 15 (4 families). Highly recommended and Angie is quick to communicate if any questions or needs arise.

We used the property for multiple family members coming from out of town for a wedding. The house had everything we were looking for, was comfortable, plenty of room, and we had a great time.

The house is beautiful very homie. We love everything. My only this was there is no TV in the bedrooms, I can't sleep in silence but we made the best. I cannot and will not complain about this trip. The owner communicated very well. I can definitely stay there again. All my guess said the same thing. This is definitely a saved vacation spot.

About the host

Hosted by Angie Smith

Host profile image
My family and I are native to Dawson County going back at least 5 generations. Our little corner of the world is very important to us and we would like the opportunity to show people from all over the country what a great hideaway we have in Dawsonville, Georgia. From the lakes to the mountains, and from Summer to Winter, we love it here and want to give others the chance to come to love it too.

Why they chose this property

For generations, my family has enjoyed Lake Lanier on this property that we are now listing for rent. In 2007, we began construction on this house on a lake lot that has been in our family for over 50 years. This new house was our attempt to better our property and provide others with an opportunity to enjoy what we have loved for years and years - Lake Lanier.

What makes this property unique

Our property is the perfect getaway for a number of different reasons. The home is large enough to host a sprawling family reunion, a business retreat for top executives, or a lake vacation for a smaller family who wants an intimate setting on Lake Lanier. In any weather, this property has something to offer - the great water activities of the late spring and summer, and the fall activities of the surrounding North Georgia Mountains.

No weddings or large parties. 15 guests total, including children and day visitors.
