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.

Our host was extremely impressive and the property was amazing. Everything was exactly what the description said and the pictures showed.We will definitely return to this property. Not one single thing can we say was a problem. Donna has a wonderful jewel and she reached out to us several times to check on us. 5 star experience.

I wish I could rate higher. This was one of the best VRBO’s that we have stayed. Donna made everything so special and personalized. The cabin was well equipped , very very clean, and beautiful! We will definitely be repeat customers. Thanks again Donna!

We have never felt so welcomed as we did here. The host exceeded every need and want. The space was perfect - clean, warm decor ( loved the birds and words of encouragement!), comfortable bed, huge shower, fluffy towels, bathrobes and a better stocked fridge than i have at home. Our anniversary celebration was a smashing success. Donna communicated clearly and even let us visit her home's pier to fish. She is a #1 Host!! The location is close to anything you need - restaurants, groceries and great lake views. Highly recommend to anyone. We would love to return.

What a little gem! We enjoyed peace and quiet and had a lovely rest at the Lakeside Retreat. We were spoiled by our host Donna who is very caring and her place were fully stock with everything you need. It was very clean and spacious for a couple to enjoy a quick get away for a week or weekend. Donna we will be back, thank you very much for checking on us often to make sure we have what we needed. We will definitely book the Lakeside Retreat again.

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!!
