We hope it will be yours!!The house sits on a gentle slope to the lake with a view from both the sun porch and outside deck.

10.0 / 10.0
Bottom line, this house was fantastic for a father/son long lake weekend - it's got everything we needed for a comfortable and adventure-filled stay with no need to bounce back/forth to get groceries, etc. (Instacart delivers!) Coming from Milton, this spot was <30 minutes away. The double-decker dock is brand new and in great shape - the Polywood furniture for the sunny top and the shaded bottom was great as was the top-level sun shade; my boys used the kayaks and inflatable tubes all weekend. The kitchen had everything needed for cooking unless you use specific spices, and the house had brand-new Roku TVs that were easy to use as well as an older Xbox for the boys. There are really nice touches: umbrellas on the deck covering the dining area and the grill (two full propane tanks were provided); flashlights and lanterns for evening trips to the dock; a new portable Bluetooth speaker for the lake/deck; a large deck cooler to keep the inside refrigerator for only food, etc.; access to a STIHL electric leaf blower upon request to the owner; washer/dryer that is Speed Queen (i.e., FAST washing and drying) if needed; and all the paper products and cleaning supplies I needed. The enclosed porch was great to enjoy - be sure to crank open the windows to let in a cool morning or evening breeze off the lake. The owners communicated quickly when I had questions, and I will definitely book again as it really simplified how much stuff you have to bring.
4.0 / 10.0
I selected this location because it is close in proximity to Atlanta, GA (50 minutes) and it is also located on Lake Lanier. Another plus is that local grocery shopping and restaurants are only 10 minutes away.
Upon arrival, I immediately noticed that the AC was not functioning properly, and the house had a musty/moldy smell. I contacted the Dorothy the next morning because the humidity levels in the house felt extremely high (basically the ac was cooling but not taking the humidity out of the air). Her husband provided two dehumidifiers by lunchtime which helped tremendously but had to be regularly emptied for the course of our remaining four days. Apparently, the problem with the AC was a longstanding problem and a dehumidifier unit (to be integrated into the AC system) was actually delivered the week we were staying in the house. If I had been aware of this problem, I would have never rented the house.
Other items to note: Stairs going into the master suite were awkward and did not appear to be up to code, Roku on various TV's did not regularly work and the one in the room with the bunk beds never worked.
Overall being on the lake is what saved our vacation.
Kayaks were available for use and provided for a fun experience. The walk to the dock was a little longer than I expected and some of the deck boards are rotted and need replacing.
The host provided beanie wafers and a bottle of wine which was a nice touch.

Loved the beauty of the outside surroundings. The trees with the peeking of the sunlight and water rippling thru. Beautiful !

This was our second time at this property and we loved our stay there - position on the lake and boat dock for our boat is fabulous and the house comfortable and well supplied. My husband and I had the suite on the lower floor and our grandchildren and their parents had the first floor which worked well. I recommend this property.

This is one of the best cabin trips we’ve been on. A lot of water activities to do, the double deck is a perfect place to chill. House is comfortable, spacious and very clean. Host Dorothy, is super nice and will respond to questions very fast.

The property was great! The walk down to the lake was easy. The double boat dock was perfect for our group to use during the day. We enjoyed the large tables inside the house to use for our meals. Thank you for providing the opportunity to use.
8.0 / 10.0
The property was located in a perfect spot. We did enjoy the lake. It rained much of the time. The bushes in the driveway were very overgrown. My husband worried about scratches in his new car.
The other negative comments would be how there was too many of owners items everywhere. We could barely fit our clothes or bathroom items or kitchen supplies.
It seamed like we were imposing on a family’s vacation.
I understand the pollen was highly active this time of year, but the outside dwellings were dirty. It just seemed that someone would’ve gone that day to clean and sweep things off. It wasn’t very welcoming!
We appreciate you sharing your home. Just expressing my personal thoughts.

Loved our stay in Dawsonville. The house was even better than described, very comfortable with all the amenities. Close to restaurants and shops. 40 min drive to Helen and 20 min to Dahlonega. Will look to stay here in the summer as the double decker boat ramp looked inviting.

Had a family memorial on the 1 yr passing of my wife of 55yrs & stayed here 4 wonderful days.
Dorothy was extremely sensitive to our ceremony by providing additional leeway in areas not normally given - check in & check out.Very responsive to any questions.
The home is stocked with EVERYTHING you’d find in any normal home, it has a real comfortable & relaxing feel to it both indoors, the outdoor fire pit area & the double decker boat dock.All type of instructions are available as to using electronics etc etc. plus everything works as they should.
This is a REALLY GREAT rental to be considered if you want easy lake access.
Dorothy, Thanks for all your courtesy!

Fantastic Lake House
We enjoyed this property very much and would definitely rent here again! This house was equipped with everything we needed and has plenty of space for a family The brand new boat dock was perfect for our boat and we enjoyed floating around in the cove and kayaking!

Relaxing and restorative
After several months of unrelenting challenges and transitions, our famiky was blessed to spend a long weekend at this property. The abundant trees surrounding the house gave us a feeling of seclusion, but we loved being so close to stores and shopping. Having lake access and the use of kayaks allowed all of us to spend time in and on the water, and we enjoyed relaxing in the sunroom each evening. Dorothy made the check in process seamless and communicated clearly. The only things to be aware of are a tricky front door knob, steep steps downstairs to the master bedroom, and quite a few stairs to the lake with an older ladder off the dock. We felt rested and relaxed after our weekend here!

Absolutely Wonderful!!
We had a wonderful trip with the family for Father’s Day weekend. The house is cozy and perfect, fully equipped and in the best spot on the lake AND sooo close to 400, 53 and all the shopping centers. Everything was wonderful and if that alone wasn’t enough, add to that the owner Dorothy, was so sweet and helpful and accommodating. We will definitely be back, we are all excited to try the new dock when it arrives! Thank you for a wonderful, memorable weekend!!

Lake Life
After very busy graduation festivities, we retired to the lake house in Dawsonville. The house was very comfortable for my husband and myself. My daughter, son in law and most of their family joined us for meals. They live 2 doors away in a much smaller house. The weather was beautiful for the weekend so all was perfect!

Perfect weekend!!!
Our weekend was very close to perfect. The only thing that would have made it better was more time in this beautiful home! We were out of town for baseball and the way the games fell didn't leave us enough time there!

Celebrating the New Year at the Lake House
We really enjoyed our stay at the lake house. It was exactly as described and we had more than enough space for the 4 of us. I especially appreciate how well stocked the house was. Location was ideal for shopping, hiking, fishing, or whatever we were in the mood for that day. Owner was great

We had an amazing weekend at your lake house. Plenty of room for our family and everything was provided just as described. The house was beautifully decorated for fall. Convenient location for visiting Dahlonega and the wineries. We had a great time.

Fall, Friendship, and Fun
The rental process was a breeze! Property manager was a great communicator of door codes, alarms, wi-do etc. Super generous with letting us come early and stay later. The fire pits, kayaks, decks… all a perfect combination for three couples to connect, compete (kayak, cannonballs from the deck.. you name it), and refresh.

Nearly a perfect stay
Location is nice. Appreciate the nice deck and walkway to the boat slip. The patio was really nice as well for lounging. Check-in and check-out was very smooth. Beds are comfy.
Some opportunities for improvement… wifi did not work for us, which caused challenges for people with poor service or needed to work. TV remotes need batteries. There were three remotes and none seemed to work. Would’ve used the Roku app, but couldn’t get on the wifi. Make it slightly clearer where the trash is located too.

two star stay for a five star price
cleanliness was not up to our standard. Older home very cluttered and crowded with furniture and stuff. Lake access and location saved this stay from being a very bad experience.

For a lake family get together. Can not say enough what a pretty lake cottage. My new favorite getaway. Loved the dock, the kayaks and my favorite outside deck for our late family card games. My husband went fishing off dock and caught many BASS And catfish. We got 2 jetskis sad we could not dock them on dock but still did not stop our great stay. Owners are awesome communication is great.

Lovely Lakehouse for a much needed family break
There's so much to love about this property: from its proximity to the Atlanta area, easy access to shopping and sight-seeing, relaxing master suite, fire pit area outside, patios, decks and inside fireplaces, and of course the two available kayaks that the kids loved. Well appointed and "homey" - I look forward to returning.
The only negative I'd think of is, as a foodie and cook, it could use more space for food prep...but that's minor compared with the benefits.
