Cottage w/Lake Views & Open Slip Dock/Perfect for Family-Couples-Friends

Our cottage at the lake is a great location for a family or couples getaway, girls only/guys only weekend, and only 45 minutes from Atlanta. It has 3 bedrooms—one with a brand new King, one with a brand new queen, and one with a twin-over-double bunk bed. The sleeper sofa in the family room is a full size, comfortably sleeping 1 adult or 2 children. The house sleeps 5 Adults and 2 Children comfortably. The brand new master bath has a large walk-in shower and the brand new smaller, hall bath has a shower. Both bathrooms have blue tooth speakers in the lights. Watch TV or your favorite movies on our Smart TV or DVD in the Family Room viewed from the most comfortable recliners ever designed. The keeping room and kitchen are flooded with sunlight in the morning and are the gathering place for family and guests while breakfast is prepared. Light the wood burning stove for additional atmosphere.

The woods surrounding the house provide shade in the morning and again in late afternoon while the home’s high location above the large sloping lawn allows a year round lake view from the large windows in the kitchen and family room, as well as from the deck. The view of the sunset over the water begs dining al fresco. Located on a half-acre, mostly wooded lot, the lawn is great for tossing a football. We love that our house sits so far from the street. It's quiet here. Turn slowly into the drive when you return from a late dinner and you will most likely see deer in the woods. When you sit on the deck with your early morning coffee, look down the trails. You may see them looking back. On a pre-dawn winter morning, they may be in the front yard, nibbling acorns fallen from the giant oaks. It’s peaceful here. The only neighbor you will hear is the pileated woodpecker.

Follow the leaf strewn trail down to the dock and rest quietly. You will see fish under the dock and maybe witness the flight of a great blue heron. Because our dock is deep in the cove, the water is calm without wakes or sounds from boats passing on the lake. It is a safe place to swim, play, and float. We have a covered, single slip dock that is open, and boat and jet ski rentals (Port Royal),as well as a public boat ramp (Mountain View Park), are just minutes from the property by land or by water. Our dock is drought proof! Even when the lake level drops, we always have 15-20 feet under our dock, and where many properties are located in shallow tributaries, our cove provides full lake access from the Olympic Rowing venue, all the way to Buford Dam.

Passing the dock, you can continue your walk through the woods around the point and along the lake shore trail for a celebration of fall color. If you look out the windows during a heavy snow, you will have the impression you are on a mountain top above the clouds. In the spring, the profusion of gardenia blooms scent the air, and the woods are full of birdsong and speckled with the white blooms of indigenous rhododendron. The slam of the screen door during family picnics will sound just like your childhood.

This is not just a house at the lake. It is a true lake house.

If you wish to venture out, we are minutes from downtown Gainesville (check out www.Gainesville.org and don’t miss the free concerts on the square), Starbucks (a must for my husband), shopping malls, grocery stores, Multi-Movie Theaters, live theater, parks with walking trails, hiking, waterfalls, and every type of dining experience from candle lit, white linen to fast food. We are, of course, close to Lake Lanier Islands and all the activities there. We are also not far from Chicopee Woods Golf Course, North Georgia Premium Outlets, Georgia wineries, Gibbs Gardens, all the fun in Dahlonega including a tour of the gold mines and free shows at the planetarium (check out dalonega.org), and you might even catch a rodeo at the Cumming Fairgrounds

- "We stayed at this property while moving our daughter to the area. The location made it accessible to all locations that we needed to get to and the house was very comfortable." - "The house was great. We brought our boat and the dock was great as well. We will definitely be using this house again! Thank you!" - "Our family of 4 adults and our dog enjoyed everything about this property. The walk to the lake is a bit rustic, but totally doable. Maybe not with a heavy cooler. Our relatives were able to pick us up on their boat for a fay on the lake, and the next day we stayed on the dock all day. The cove is perfect for floating on noodles (which were availablein the basement). The cove is very deep, calm and no traffic. The house is super cute inside and we had everything we needed. Beds and linenes were good. The grill ran out of propane, and there was a full one ready to go. We would definitely stay again."

The driveway was a bit of a challenge but it is manageable." - "We loved this cottage." - "Place was exactly as advertised. Good spot on the lake with easy access down to the water. Home offered a lot of space - was clean - & had a great lake cabin type feel. Several outdoor gathering spaces that were nice as well.

- "This house has it all for you to have fun get away at the lake! The kids enjoyed riding the jet skis and tubing, taking a quick boat ride over to the Port Royal marina to get ice cream, learning how to kayak and canoe, and playing on the floating Lilly pad at the dock in a nice and quite private cove than relaxing in the hot tub after falling off the tube. The house was very clean and outfitted with a nice modern kitchen with plenty of space for three family's to have their own rooms, and a gas/charcoal grill for cooking out. The hosts were very, very nice and they were responsive to any needs or requests that we had. Look no further, I would defiantly recommend staying here!"
