About this property
Waterfront with an easy walk to party dock and pet friendly home on Lake Lanier
Welcome to Happy Valley Hideaway – Where Family Lake Adventures Begin!
Calling all fun-loving families! Happy Valley Hideaway is the ultimate lake escape where everyone—kids, parents, even the dog—can unwind, explore, and make unforgettable memories together. Whether you’re grilling on the deck, roasting s’mores under the stars, or paddling out from your private dock, this spacious 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath retreat has everything you need for a stress-free vacation that feels like home (but way better).
Lake Life, Upgraded
Want to rent a boat or jet ski? We’ve partnered with local friends to offer deep discounts on pontoon boats and more. After booking, you’ll receive our digital guidebook with all the local tips—and your exclusive rental deals!
Perfectly Located for Family Fun
Just 15 mins from Lake Lanier Olympic Park
Chattahoochee Golf Club is right down the road
Explore shops & restaurants at nearby Gainesville Square
Grocery run? Less than a mile away!
Space for Everyone to Relax
Main floor: 2 king bedrooms (yes, with Smart TVs!)
Huge spa-like bathroom + laundry right where you need it
Fully equipped kitchen with lake views
Cozy open-concept living and dining with direct access to the deck, grill, and hammock naps!
Kid-Friendly Hangout Zone
Downstairs is where the fun happens! With 5 total beds, it’s a sleepover dream for kids and teens. Plus:
Smart TV on wheels (indoor or outdoor movie night, anyone?)
Extra fridge and dining space for snacks & sodas
Game room with foosball, board games & custom wet bar for the grownups
Outdoor Fun for All Ages
Short, easy walk to your private dock with free kayaks & paddleboards
Roast marshmallows around the fire pit
Chill on the covered patio while the kids play nearby
Watch wildlife and enjoy sunsets right from the deck
Yes, We’re Pet-Friendly!
Furry family members are welcome—just keep them leashed as the yard isn’t fenced.
Safety First
We have outdoor cameras and a Ring doorbell for added peace of mind.
Easy Arrival & Parking
2-car carport (fits a boat!)
Max 4 cars in the driveway
Heads up: the driveway is a little tight near the neighbor’s fence—backing in is easiest!
A Note on Vibes
This is a peaceful, family-friendly neighborhood—no parties, please! Quiet hours are 10pm–7am so everyone can get a good night’s sleep.
Happy Valley Hideaway is more than just a lake house—it’s your family’s new favorite tradition. Book your stay today and get ready for lake days, game nights, and memory-making moments you'll talk about for years to come!
