Vacation rentals with a kayak in Gainesville

Great, cozy spot with an awesome deck. Clean, recently updated interior. Ellen was a great host — very helpful and went above and beyond multiple times! The best. Recommend staying here for sure!

What a lovely lake cabin escape! Gilbert was communicative and very accommodating. We really enjoyed the kayaks, fire pit, and relaxing on the dock. The place has all the essentials and cute rustic charm. I’d definitely stay here again!

My Fiance and I absolutely loved this property! Very spacious, yet cozy and very comfortable. I enjoyed relaxing in front of the fireplace with a cup in the morning and at night with a cup of coffee. My fiance was able to enjoy an afternoon of kayaking while the other days we visited nearby towns such as Helen, GA. What an incredible little town. The Master Bedroom was a dream! From the king size bed, gas fireplace to the spa bathroom. The host was very responsive with any questions we had throughout our stay. I highly recommend this property if you’re looking for a spacious, luxurious lake front property. This will certainly check off all of your boxes!

Cute and cozy cottage! Host was exceptionally responsive which was greatly appreciated as we had a little difficulty finding the driveway. Would definitely return!. It is important to be aware that the wall between the bedrooms does not go all the way up, so the bedrooms are not private although this was not a huge issue for us.

I cannot say enough great things about this property. We arrived to the most beautiful house in a location that was utterly perfect! This home has absolutely everything you would need, essentially just show up with food and clothes! The beds were all VERY comfortable, soft linens, plenty of pillows and well put together. The living areas were cozy & comfortable. Games, items to enjoy the lake, outdoor areas, fire-it for s'mores were all a bonus. The kitchen was stocked with absolutely every thing you would need. The countertop icemaker was my daughters favorite feature! Our kids enjoyed the kayaks, paddleboards and floats. We enjoyed a glass of wine while watching them! Easy communication & great host. You could not ask for a better house! Thank you for the best stay! We will definitely be back!

Very responsive host, easy checkin, nice location. Beds and bathrooms were nice and clean

Overall a fantastic location and home on the lake! Well worth the price.

This was a great location for a weekend trip to the lake. Very accessible from Atlanta. Located in a quiet neighborhood. Nice location to access local restaurants, grocery stores, and the various sites of Gainesville nearby. Home was comfortable and clean. There was an included pack and play, high chair, and life jackets for kids that worked well for our little family.

What a wonderful property! We visited for our honeymoon and had such a lovely time. Spent a good chunk of our time in the loft, listening to the rain on the tin roof! The forest behind the house is beautiful. I learned that I really love baths while here, as it was a bit too chilly to use the outdoor shower. Didn't mind that at all and it was really nice to scrub down and soak in the tub. We loved how getting to Foxfire and Tallulah Gorge was very quick from this location. White Birch Provisions in Clayton is incredible and you should visit if you stay here. Overall was a fantastic time and we are so thankful we could experience this beautiful, magical place! <3

We had the best time staying at your house! The back porch quickly became our favorite spot We enjoyed the fire pit while watching college softball. Thank you for your hospitality!

Great location and very peaceful. Short walk to the lake. Well equipped cabin and is very clean and comfortable. Great comma from the host. No issues during the stay.

Great get-away for a family! Lots to do on the property, you can fish, swing, look for salamanders in the creek and look at the waterfall. Sitting by the firepit watching the river go by was relaxing.

My family and I enjoyed our stay at Zoe's house. The house was close to Lake Lanier Olympic Park and Laurel Park, and not far from the downtown. Zoe's artwork, furnishings, sheets, towels and candles really set the home apart from other places at which I have stayed. We look forward to our next stay.

Beautiful home! Susan is awesome and communication was incredible. She really made our stressful wedding weekend easier and I truly appreciate her going the extra mile to assist with our special accommodation needs.

This was our second stay at the Architect’s Cottage. It was as peaceful and calm this time as before. The deck and lake are our favorite things but inside the house is great too: clean and cozy and beautifully appointed with unique furnishings, art and lighting. Thank you, Jennifer for making this available again for us.

Thank you for another wonderful stay at this Lake Burton treasure! This house has the most beautiful view of the lake and we love how peaceful and serene it is there! There is a lot to do in the area but we always find ourselves just settling in and relaxing on the dock or the water! We can’t wait to come back next year!

Chris was a delightful host. Kind, responsive and helpful! The home was super clean and well appointed. We so enjoyed the amazing views and the hot tub and our grand children loved playing “corn bag” as they called it. There are some steep stairs to the basement recreation area but they have taken great care to have handles where needed and reminders to watch your step. I appreciated all the instruction qr codes and little printed framed signs to help guests. We look forward to returning.

Wonderful cabin in a great location. Everything was extremely clean. The kitchen had everything needed to make meals. Would definitely book again if in the area.

This place is awesome! It’s nestled into a hillside along a stream with views of the lake through the trees. It’s located on a dead end road and you have to cross the bridge to access the property. I like that because I was able to let my dog off leash and I didn’t have to worry about her getting distracted by other dogs or people walking by. It seemed very private, even though they were neighbors close by. I enjoyed having my morning coffee either sitting in the bench on the creek or on the deck . Afternoons were great hanging in the hammock or walking down to the waterfall, which is about a 10 minute walk. We were celebrating our anniversary during our stay and we had a nice relaxing week at the property! We would like to return again soon.😊

Everything about it was perfect. Make sure you have a good car with the ability to go into low gear or all wheel drive. The steep switch backs arnt for the faint hearted. I appreciated the seasonings and tooth picks and all the extra small things that made it all more worth it. I wish the rule book had been on the table with the welcoming card. I didn’t notice it until my last day. But that is my fault . I couldn’t have been more satisfied . It was peaceful and more serene than I anticipated. Definitely coming back here.

This was by far one of our favorite vacations and we have traveled all over the world! The house was nicely furnished, very clean bedrooms and hotel like bathrooms. The kitchen was extremely functional and the decks were furnished well to use right away. The outdoor living area was amazing! Our family of 7 could watch a movie every night and roaring fire. This was the most relaxing and recharging vacation we have had and exactly what we needed after a busy school year. The surroundings were magical and felt like living in a tree house!

Absolutely beautiful place and oh so peaceful. While there is a road right by the house, it doesnt really distract from the beautiful scenery and noise of the creek nearby. We took advantage of basically all the ammenities. We went in the canoe, relaxed in the hot tub, enjoyed the convenient fire place and grill, caught a fish or two in the lake and had a great time being so close to some beautiful trails! And oh so many naps on the comfortable porch bed swing. The stairs to the loft were not an issue for us or our dog either, but note that they are steep, so they could be an issue for smaller dogs or people with mobility issues. We would absolutely love to be back again in the future!

The cabin was lovely and very private, a great place to get away. The roads getting to the cabin were a bit tricky but we managed just fine.

We had a wonderful time! It was a little bit like sleeping in a treehouse. Very peaceful and pretty surroundings, lots of wildlife to enjoy. We really loved the grill and how easy it was to use, no need to worry about charcoal or a propane tank. The bed swing on the front porch was my favorite place to read and rest. My kids enjoyed using the kayaks, fishing, and being out on the water. The kitchen was well stocked, too. I arrived later than expected, and it was dark. Corey‘s communication was very helpful and prompt. And the binder of information might be the most thorough I’ve ever come across. Thank you for thinking of everything.
