About this property
Lakeside Retreat Lake Lanier-Great hiking, wineries, and more!Book now for fall!
Welcome to Dawsonville and one of North Georgia’s most intriguing locations, Lake Lanier.  Here you will enjoy beautiful North Georgia mountains, vineyards, outlet shopping, hiking trails, etc. Only an hour north of Atlanta. This quaint studio cottage has all you need for a perfect getaway.
You will enjoy fully furnished nights with a plush king size bed, fully stocked chef’s kitchen, and a custom designed master bath with a stand-up shower and a beautiful air-bath tub. Comfortably heated floors are included for colder nights and a gas firepit table on the deck.. On warmer evenings you will enjoy sitting on the outdoor porch, overlooking the tranquil garden of evergreens or on the newly added side deck with views of Lake Lanier.(Please know that we are on the lake, but we do not have a dock.)
This will be a perfect alternative to a hotel stay for you while visiting Lake Lanier, North Georgia mountains, wineries, or Dahlonega. We live right around the corner on the lake with a two story dock complete with lounge chairs on top. We also have two kayaks and a paddle board that are available with access to the lake from our dock. You are more than welcome to hang out on our dock and fish/swim. I also have parking for a boat and you’re welcome to keep it at my dock while you are there. Also, if you would like to rent jet skis, here’s a link to use. https://lanierluxuryjetskirentals.com/index.php

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Donna Gillihan

It has always been a dream of mine to own a cabin that I could rent on VRBO because I love to host, decorate, and meet new people.  So after retiring from a job I adored for 31 years (teaching school) I bought Rob’s Retreat.  Rob had a very successful business, so when he decided he was going to move and sell his place I immediately told him that I wanted to buy it. That’s how Lakeside Retreat started in November 2022.
Why they chose this property
I chose this neighborhood because it’s so quiet and peaceful yet only 4 miles away from stores and shopping. The people are wonderful here and of course it’s on the lake.
What makes this property unique
my property is unique because it’s only for couples. The only place around here just for two people. It’s very quaint, but beautiful as well.
