Property Description
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.phpAbout pets:No pets allowed.About checkOut:Check out before 11:00 AM.About children:Children allowed: ages 0-17.About checkIn:Check in after 3:00 PM.About smoking:Smoking is not permitted.About minBookingAge:Minimum age to rent: 25.About events:No events allowed.

This property was an overall great experience. Donna was the premiere host and was available at all times. We will definitely return.

What a beautiful little house! We just loved staying there. We were impressed with all the extra little touches that Donna went to that made our stay so memorable. And such a nice woodsy neighborhood with views down to the lake. We will definitely be looking for any excuse to come back…soon!!

More than a ReTreat: A REAL TREAT!! Our first impression, which was GREAT, lasted throughout our 2-day stay! If anything, it got GEATER, until the locking of the door, which closed out a wonder-filled, very personalized experience! The host was amazing, available for ANY need, (for which we had none, because this “little” cabin came with EVERYTHING, and more!) 3 B’s:the BED, the BATHROOM, and the BIRD-themed environ, was amazing! The kitchen was completely supplied and stocked! Our Wish is to return!

Absolutely the best! The reviews here are 100% correct. Every little detail is taken care of. The communication and ease of renting is just wonderful. I have been a member for many years and have never seen as many amenities or a better stocked kitchen and pantry. It was amazing.

Beautiful, Serene, Comfort-filled house and Gracious Owner Donna went above and beyond to make sure our Anniversary Trip was special - she even had a Happy Anniversary banner over the bed. My eyes filled with tears as soon as I opened the door - it was perfect in every way. The placement of Christian wall art and small inspirational signs throughout the house affirmed that we were exactly where we needed to be to celebrate and reflect on 49 years of marriage. We laughed because my husband said “It looks like you decorated this house.”Her attention to details, generosity of providing snacks, beverages, and even breakfast items were such blessings. She checked on us every day to make sure we didn’t need anything. As for the property, pictures can’t adequately show how beautiful and unique this property is. We were surprised how quiet it was and spent a lot of time sitting on the porch or the side deck. This was the first trip we’ve taken for our anniversary that we were content just staying around the house; we did no sightseeing. Donna- there are no words adequate to describe our experience. You went over and above! We plan to return and will be telling our friends and family about our experience. Thanks you - Devon and Nannette

Best VRBO rental ever! Our cottage was as lovely as it looked in the photos. It was comfortable, clean and beautifully appointed, with our comfort in mind. The refrigerator was well stocked (and even included the wine of my choice!), and there were fluffy, soft robes provided. Donna spared no detail to insure our comfort and enjoyment.

My wife and I really enjoyed our stay. We felt right at home. It has a cozy cabin feel and appears just as presented in photos. There are plenty of entertainment options nearby. Donna is amazing and makes sure that you are well taken care of.

May Getaway We loved everything about this property. Its perfect for 2 people and located just a short distance from the things we wanted to do. For us, that included Gibbs Gardens, Amicalola Falls, Dahlonega, Georgia Racing Hall of Fame and plenty of antique shops. You won't find a better host either! Donna had the refrigerator stocked with our favorite beverages and plenty of breakfast items to choose from. It was such a treat to stay here!
