About this house rental

Welcome to our resort-like retreat (5bd/3ba) on the south end of Lake Lanier! Relax and let your stress melt away, or create fun family memories. This is our personal vacation home; we hope you love it as much as we do.
The property provides two kayaks, two paddleboards, and a tie-up for your boat or a rental from a nearby marina. Note: Our boat is not available for rent, yet you can contact Aqua Sports Adventures for rent details.

🌊 The Lake Experience
- The lake is just a short walk away. It features deep, clear water and a prime location close to everything.
- At night, the path to the main dock and the dock itself are illuminated.
- There is also a fully enclosed second dock, perfect for fishing!

🍴 Dining & Convenience
- Grill or cook at home, or drive 10 minutes to downtown Buford for great food and music.

🚤 Boating & Water Activities

Neighborhood overview:

☀ The terrain on Lake Lanier ranges from a gentle slope to very steep. The flatter the walk, the shallower the water. The walk to our docks is considered moderate sloping for this lake. My parents, both in their 70s, handle the walk just fine.
☀ Please be careful as it is a lake property with uneven surfaces, slope & steps. Negligence may cause a slip and fall, and care must be taken, especially with younger children.
☀ Also, you understand the potential dangers and risks associated with water activities, dock access and take appropriate safety precautions, and assume responsibility for yourself and any consequences caused by your party. There is no lifeguard on duty so swim at your own risk.

We so enjoyed our stay at the Blue Lagoon and highly recommend it to anyone considering a Lake Lanier vacation. It is beautifully decorated and a perfect home base as we navigated a week of daily baseball tournaments all around the Atlanta area. It was a great location to unwind and keep the boys off their phones as they enjoyed fishing off the dock, kayaking and paddle boarding not to mention the rope swing they discovered across the cove. The owners were wonderful to work with as well with exceptional communication through out our stay. The kitchen was also very well appointed which the moms truly appreciated! Thank you for sharing this lovely home!

The house was beautiful. Location was great. We brought our boat and the Public landing was just across from the house. Very easy. The house and property was true to the pictures and description. It was fully stocked with everything we needed. We had a relaxing time. Would recommend to everyone.

This is a remarkable property for all occasions! I was lucky enough to be here for Thanksgiving and to celebrate a 65th birthday with my family of 6. The kitchen was extremely well equipped, appliances were updated and the entire property was extremely clean and comfortable. Tons of sitting areas so we all felt together but never on top of one another. The Sonos sound system worked flawlessly and allowed us to listen to music in any room of the house and on the dock. We had beautiful weather and really enjoyed the outdoor sitting areas and swinging down by the water. As an added plus, there were tons of hangers in all the closets, the mattresses and sheets were luxurious and the white noise machines allowed for great sleep all around. Would absolutely stay here again!

Listing was accurate. Very quiet neighborhood and No Wake Cove. Loved the woods down to the docks which provided much desired shade and breezes off the water. Everybody loved the beds and sheets! Sound system was off the charts, even down at the dock. Everyone enjoyed kayaking, paddle boards, and swimming right from the dock. The host was very responsive and accommodating. We have a family of 7 adults and had plenty of room. Would highly recommend this property!
