What We Love About This Home
What makes this property special is how easy it is to enjoy the lake. The private double-deck dock, sandy beach entry, and calm cove allow guests of all ages to swim, kayak, paddle board, fish, or relax right outside the door—without needing to drive or trailer equipment. The home’s multi-level layout also gives families and groups space to spread out while still gathering comfortably in shared living areas.
What Guests Love About the Area
This part of Lake Lanier is known for its quieter coves, easy boat access, and proximity to both nature and attractions. Guests enjoy being close to Lanier Islands Resort, seasonal festivals, marinas, and waterfront dining while still feeling tucked away from heavy traffic. The area is especially popular for boating, fishing, and family lake vacations.
What’s Nearby
A nearby park offers tennis and pickleball courts, along with a playground for children, making it easy for families and active groups to enjoy outdoor activities just minutes from the home. The public boat ramp at Old Federal Day Park is also close by, providing convenient access for guests bringing their own boat or renting locally. Grocery stores, restaurants, and delivery services are all within a short drive.
What Makes This Property Stand Out
Private lakefront homes with both a sandy beach entry and a deep-water dock are rare on Lake Lanier. Combined with complimentary lake toys, multiple indoor living areas, a dedicated game space, baby-friendly amenities, and high-speed internet, this home is designed to support relaxed, comfortable stays for families and quiet groups in every season.

The perfect stay for our weekend family getaway! Location is perfect, at the end of a quiet cove. House has everything you could need Literally. Exactly as shown in the pictures. Downstairs perfect for teens & kids with arcade games (that they played !) & a beautiful table perfect for card games. There is also a unique chess board that I wish we had more time to play. The kids loved the downstairs shower setup & very comfortable beds with their own deck.I enjoyed the absolutely perfect master bed & could have easily slept the weekend away :) Very comfortable & the view was amazing with the beautiful sunroom attached that I also did not have time to use but hope to on a future return visit. The bathroom was Magnificent & again with everything you could need.The kitchen was stocked with everything you could use on a regular daily basis. There were also some snacks available that the family of course partook of!Upstairs bedrooms were both just as perfect. Beds were dreamy comfortable & each with small deck space to get fresh air if wish.One thing I personally LOVED was intercom system. I have very bad knees & it is difficult to climb up and down stairs. House is large, so it was a great treat to be able to easily communicate with everyone. I'm out of room but could go on & on. The water toys were perfect & is how we spent half a day on Saturday! Thoughtful extras everywhere you turn such as Sleep masks! Go, you won't be disappointed! Thank you Maria for perfect trip!

Thank you so much for this beautiful review! It truly means a lot to hear how much your family enjoyed the house, from the game room to the lake toys and all the little touches in between. I am especially glad the intercom made things easier for you, that is exactly why we love having it there. We would absolutely love to host you again so you can enjoy everything you did not get to this time 😊
