Lakefrnt June 7-13 OPEN Slps 13, Pool H Tub Save
William was an outstanding host, not only in the house and check-in instructions, but also having the house feel warm and welcoming to our us and our friends. They had snacks and cookies waiting for us even! The house and pool were gorgeous with great views of the lake and we couldn’t think of a better place to spend our vacation. There was plenty of space for us to relax and ample accommodations for me and our guests. Thank you, William, for such a great experience!

Lake Lanier Getaway in Beautiful North Georgia Mtn
Great place. Very clean.

Lake view, great sunset view off dock, 3 bedrooms
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!

Lake front, private dock
This is a great lake Lanier house. Our group was there for a fishing tournament, and we had a blast. The house perfect and the host is very responsive. The location on the south end of the lake was very convenient and the dock allowed us to cover both of our boats. I would definitely rent this house again. Thank you, Susan!

Cozy Lakefront Getaway w/ Dock and Kayaks
Absolutely lovely retreat from high stress jobs. Well appointed, clean, and absolutely peaceful home. We spent all of our time on the back deck enjoying the weather. Plenty of space to relax. The hammock was perfect for reading. The family room downstairs had plenty of games if you have little ones. The easy walk to the dock to just sit and listen to the water was as serene as it comes. I loved that it didn’t have 20 flights of stairs, just a nice sloping footpath. Highly recommend this cozy cove lake home.

Summer Discount-Lakefront-2 story dock w/ Views!
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!

Shores of Lake Lanier - Beautiful New Build Home!
Beautiful place for a weekend gateway close to Lake Lanier! Our family had a great time and will definitely look to return in the future. The game room, hot tub, and fire pit were great amenities. We also loved the peace and quiet in the backyard!

Modern pet friendly waterfront home w/dock
Very nice house on Lake Lanier. Basically everything in the house is updated and has everything you need. Short walk (a couple of minutes) down to the dock. Stayed with our 7 month old and 2 dogs and all were happy. Would stay again next time we come to the area.

Quiet Lakefront Home with Hot Tub and Screen Porch
We had the pleasure of staying at Dan's house and it was an exceptional experience. One of the highlights was definitely enjoying the lake, which provided a serene and beautiful setting perfect for relaxation and outdoor activities. The house itself was incredibly comfortable, with a perfect screened-in porch that became our favorite spot to unwind. The host, Dan, was very responsive and maintained great communication throughout our stay, which made the entire experience seamless and stress-free. Overall, I would rate my experience a solid 5 stars. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and enjoyable getaway. Future visitors can look forward to a cozy welcoming home, beautiful lake views, and outstanding host responsiveness.

This is the best airbnb we have stayed in and the most unique! It's like being in the most well-appointed treehouse in the north GA mountains with amazing outdoor space, like the indoor space! We will be back for sure! The outdoor "hot tub", outdoor showers, and firepit, made for an experience unlike any other. The entire experience was 5 stars!

Azalea Ridge at Lanier
Thank you for a lovely stay. The weather did not completely cooperate with our plans, but the cabin was very enjoyable. The boat parking came in very handy with the hail storm.

Sunshine N’ Whiskey: Elevated Escape, Lake Views
We were in awe of the beautiful architectural design and rustic look of the cabin!! This is easily the most beautiful cabin we have stayed on the Airbnb. The location and views of the lake blue ridge & the mountains are breathtaking. The entire cabin is decorated with the high end RH furniture! All the amenities are top notch.

Cabin Hideaway near Lake Lanier
The stay was awesome!! It was so close to the restaurants and the stores! It was such a cozy little place to stay!!

Party Dock! Kayak, Pool Table, Pet Friendly
We very much enjoyed our stay at this lake house. We were there to celebrate a graduation and decided to have a vaca along with the celebration. We had plenty of room, the downstairs and enclosed porch were the perfect hangouts. My grandchildren loved the dock and they ALL learned to kayak! Having the use of the kayaks and live vests were a plus! Thank you! I will say the trail down to the dock was a little more difficult for some of us older adults, but the young ones were back and forth several times a day. There were a few minor things lacking in the kitchen (no lids for pots & pans for one) but then there were also additional items (like a waffle maker which made the kids happy). All and all the trip was great, the house was awesome and the host was accessible and responsive ! Thank you for an awesome vacation!
Your guide to Lake Lanier
All About Lake Lanier
Lake Lanier, tucked between Gainesville and Buford, is a peaceful destination in the hills of Northern Georgia. This lake was a project intended to help develop America’s waterways during World War II; in the 1950s, the Buford Dam was completed and formed Lake Lanier. Today, this oasis is home to more than 53,000 residents who live across five counties.
Lake Lanier is one of the most popular lakes in the Southeast and is the largest lake in Georgia. It’s home to more than 700 miles of beaches stretching across 38,000 acres. Experience the solitude of the mountains, the majesty of the waterfalls, and the beauty of the Chattahoochee and Chestatee Rivers as you enjoy a stay in one of the Lake Lanier cabins or house rentals. Lake Lanier has more than 45 parks and 10 campgrounds within its vicinity and is a fishing destination, welcoming fishers and anglers who can’t get enough of the lake’s provisions.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Lake Lanier
Beginning in March, the lake is warm enough to swim in, but the main swimming season starts in May. Once you settle into your Lake Lanier cabin, the water activities nearby are plentiful and include boating and kayaking. After Labor Day weekend the park is less busy — so if you’re looking to avoid crowds, this could be a great opportunity to visit, as the temperatures stay warm here through October. During the wintertime, visitors come here for snow tubing, carnival rides, and ice skating. Golfing is a year-round activity at the lake. Check local events calendars for live music, beach cruises, and full moon festivities throughout the year.
Top things to do in Lake Lanier

It’s only a short drive from Lake Lanier and is a tropical paradise. The garden has more than 30 acres to explore plus creative installations, cocktail nights, and exhibits for kids.
The Buford Dam Trail
At the Buford Dam Trail, you’ll be able to walk behind the dam that created Lake Lanier while taking in views of the Chattahoochee River. Access this trail via the Lower Overlook Park to avoid parking fees. As you hike this trail you’ll experience stunning views, cross beautiful bridges, and maybe even spot some woodland creatures.
Downtown Burford
After a relaxing few days out in nature, shift gears and explore Downtown Buford. Only a 22-minute drive from Lake Lanier, this small town has great art galleries, shops, taverns, and event halls to explore.
