About this property

Fabulous views on nice cove! Easy short walk to dock. Outdoor kitchen & fire pit

House, 4 Bedrooms, 3.5 Baths (Sleeps 11)

Blue Heron Cove is the perfect spot for your lake vacation. Located on a huge cove, this waterfront property has lake views from almost every room. The house comes with a private dock with party deck on a quiet area of the lake in Gainesville. Bring your boat and park your trailer in the spacious driveway. You can also rent a boat from close by marina.

The Blue Heron Cove house is well suited for family gatherings, a family reunion, 4 couples or even buddies in town for a fishing tournament or a golf getaway. The property is only a few steps to the dock and lake, and the grassy area gently slopes to the water. The professionally built outdoor kitchen and the fire ring make the outdoor spaces complete and enjoyable in all seasons. The house is convenient to shopping and restaurants in Gainesville. Lake Lanier Islands Resort and water park is about 25 minutes away.

There are 4 bedrooms (see below) and 3 full bathrooms and one half bath. There is one bedroom on the main level and the other 3 are upstairs. Two of the 4 bedrooms open to the upstairs deck and have wonderful lake views. You can watch people tube, ski or fish from the house or dock and enjoy the sunset as well. The main living area has large windows overlooking the lake. The kitchen and the eating area can seat 10 people comfortably for dinner. There is seating outside on the patio as well.

WI-FI is available. There are two flat screen TV's (satellite service); one on each floor.

On the dock, you can sit and enjoy the sun on the upper part of the large party dock or stay below for more shade or fishing. Either location allows for a great view of lake activities. Port Royale is the closest Marina. Balus Creek or Mountain View are the two closest boat ramps. If interested, we have kayaks and paddleboards available for rent.


We are a residential location and cannot accommodate a large EVENT. Family gatherings, couples, mature women or men's groups are fine and welcome. If you have more than 10 or 11 people, please inquire about suitability of space. We strive to maintain our home in pristine condition and have found party events are not in keeping with the vision for our vacation rental. Thank you for your understanding.

**For additional sleeping capacity (3 adults), you can add the guest house for an additional fee, which has a king and queen bed with private bath. Inquire with owner for details.

***For gatherings that call for double or triple the space, check out our sister properties only 1 door down VRBO# 427011 or next door VRBO# 2784449.***

We came to Lake Lanier for a fishing spring break. The boat dock was awesome! The owners had just put in a new outlet near the dock which made charging our boat batteries at night very easy. We enjoyed sitting on the upper level of the boat dock, taking in the view. The house was really nice! Absolutely loved the completely empty pantry so we had somewhere for our food. So often rentals leave you no cabinet space to put food, so that was very nice. The bedrooms were big and nice and all the bathrooms were really nice too. It was very easy to get comfortable and feel like a home away from home. The owners were very nice and enjoyed meeting them when we arrived.

Joni is very prompt responding to questions. The home is a great space. We had 9 family members ages 8-88. The house has such great views of the lake and great outdoor spaces to enjoy the lake. Outside grill was handy. Stores are conveniently close by for anything you might need. Kitchen is spacious and you get to enjoy the views while working. The family is in agreement we want to plan a spring trip. We made good memories on our visit.

What a great weekend!

We were in Gainesville for our daughter's wedding, and decided to rent this house with our friends. This is a great house with everything that we needed. The area is quiet, the dock is great, and the view of the lake is outstanding.

Lake Lanier

This home worked perfect for our group. Total of nine occupants. Six adults, three children under six. The location gives you that remote lake atmosphere but if a grocery run, shopping, or wanting to eat out is desired, your within ten minutes of about anything.

Great Lake Place!

It is not easy to find places on lake Lanier like this one that has such easy gently sloping and close access to the dock. And a great view! It was also a wonderful lake cove location, pretty and calm and quiet. We never saw another neighbor. The house is laid out well and very conducive to visiting without feeling like you’re on top of each other.

Why they chose this property

This house was the perfect location on the lake for me ~ close to my son's lake house. When all the family and grandchildren are in town we can all gather right there together on the lake for a fun time. The lake views in this house are wonderful and the walk is extremely gentle to the dock.

What makes this property unique

The view is absolutely fabulous and one of the main reasons for my purchase. The short walk to the dock is also nice.
