About this property

Hygge House on Lanier - the ULTIMATE lake cabin - dock, arcade, hottub, & grills

The Hygge House was established to create an intimate, relaxing, modern space with state-of-the-art (and completely private) smart-home technology, lighting, Sonos audio, and comfort features.

The completely renovated lake cabin offers a unique experience integrating classic A-frame architecture with modern design and technology in a sublime and peaceful lake setting.

Nestled on the quiet and calm north end of Lake Lanier, less than 1 hour north of Atlanta, the Hygge House resides in a very private cove with sweeping lake views and offers a short walk to the dock and water.

The home is 2,300 sq ft and has 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths - a perfect size for both couples as well as small groups up to 8.

As you enter the home, a fully equipped and stocked kitchen awaits you, with all stainless steel appliances, including a convection oven, microwave, 4 burner gas cooktop, refrigerator/freezer, dishwasher, coffee station, and Chick-Fil-A ice machine.

The kitchen includes top-of-the-line Quartz countertops and a automatic on/off Kohler Prolific workstation chef's sink with plenty of entertaining and prep space.

The living space surrounding the kitchen includes dining for up to 8, a modern fireplace and ample seating with long-range views of the lake, the surrounding woods, and unbelievably gorgeous sunsets throughout the year.

The home also comes with a dedicated office area with dual computer monitors and high-end webcam for any work or video calls you might need to do while here.

The cozy all-season screened-in porch offers an outdoor living space and has two sofas, two chairs, a Zen wall, a large industrial remote-controlled fan, and a built-in 6000 watt infrared Bromic heater.

The Primary room features a king-sized bed with a Nectar mattress and top-of-the-line DeWoolfson down comforter, amazing lake views with a floor-to-ceiling glass wall, an Eames lounge chair, and a one-of-one, custom-made "Sherman Oak" headboard.

The headboard was hand-crafted from one of the few remaining oak trees that survived when General Sherman burned down Atlanta during the Civil War. It was sadly hit by lightning in 2019, but was able to be given new life as an amazing art piece and historical remnant.

The Primary room's expansive bath features heated floors, dual vanities, an automatic urinal, a “smart toilet” with built in bidet, and a spacious shower area with multiple shower heads for a soothing and spa-like shower experience.

Downstairs on the terrace level you'll find two spacious rooms, each with spectacular lake views.

The "2nd Primary" offers a floating king bed with a DreamCloud mattress and Dewollfson down comforter, Sonos Move, built-in closet, blackout curtains, and individually controlled bedside wall sconces for each guest's comfort and convenience.

The bunk room isn't just for the kids as it comes equipped with a custom-made bunk bed with a high-end Nectar queen mattress on the bottom and twin XL up top.

Additionally, the room features a 65'' Samsung SmartTV w/ a Sonos Arc, a custom-made Arcade system with over 3,000 classic video games, and has plenty of room for games, yoga, or lounging around on the oversized Lovesac.

The back deck has a dining table for 6 and a custom-made, built-in grill table with a Blackstone griddle and a Kamodo Joe grill, with charcoal, gas, and all grilling tools provided.

The home features a brand new boathouse - the largest allowed on Lake Lanier - and comes with paddleboards, kayaks, floats, life vests, a swim platform and ladder, and other essential lake toys.

The cove is also fantastic for fishing - even right from the dock - and we provide 2 rod-and-reels for guests to use!

The dock is a great place to tie up a boat during your stay - with the boat launch only 5 minutes away and trailer parking at the top of the driveway, it couldn't be easier.

Don't have a boat, but want to rent one? No problem! We have a boat rental service with fantastic rates and you can even keep the boat at the dock during your stay!

We also offer chartered boat captain services as well for those that want to focus on just having fun with friends and family.

Throughout the property are amenities galore, including:

- Fully custom grill area on the back porch that includes a Blackstone griddle and a large Kamodo Joe

- Sonos surround sound system throughout the house

- "Chick-fil-A" ice machine

- ZENKO Fusion Japanese-steel kitchen knives

- A "whole-house" carbon water filter which delivers safe, clean, and fresh water for the entire home

- 3 Samsung Smart TVs, including an incredible 75" Samsung Q9 in the living room, that include Rokus and come with the most popular apps such as Netflix, Prime Video, ESPN, Hulu, Youtube, etc

- Gorgeous modern fireplace with various heating modes to ensure everyone stays warm and comfortable

- Heated flooring in the master bath

- Automatic-flushing urinal

- Smart toilet with built-in bidet

- Sonos-connected Victrola Stream Carbon record player w/ over 100 vinyl records to enjoy

Winter travel with a view.

My wife and I headed up to the lake for our annual dose of cold weather (from FL). We were excited about this property with great lake views and a A frame that has great pictures of the interior. Turns out the interior was even nicer and we loved all the extra touches the host had prepared.The host was very responsive and a pleasure to work with. Check in was a breeze even when we arrived late at night. I am sure the lake is fun in the summer, but this house is very nice in winter. We are looking forward to next years dose of cold already.

Milestone Birthday

This house is amazing! We celebrated a milestone birthday and the house had everything - especially the view! The kitchen was great for cooking! One of my favorite moments was cooking breakfast outside on the Blackstone Griddle! We loved having coffee on the screened in porch in the morning! Just a wonderful place. Lee was always available to answer our questions. Highly recommend!

Super nice property and manager

Usually there's a little disappointment when you arrive at a rental, because they rarely live up to how they're advertised, but this property was surprisingly amazing even though the ad and pictures made it look amazing, so you really get what you pay for. Plus the manager was super responsive and helpful. It's rare to find a rental with such thoughtful amenities and stylish decor. Go for it!

Beautiful home with everything you need

My family and I wanted a chill weekend on the lake and this place was perfect. The place itself is comfortable and beautiful with a perfect view of the lake and sunset every evening. There are records and games and access to streaming services. We had so much fun with both kayaks and paddle boards and were able to spend so much time on the lake. This place is a gem.

Lake House Dream

It’s always nerve racking booking a place online, but Lee’s Hygee House was perfect! What a great spot to have a house right on the Lake with a boat dock to accommodate your stay with any water activities. The little touches that Lee gives his guests were well appreciated! The place was clean, loved the kitchen and grilling deck (we cooked every night on it). The views are spectacular and the bedrooms were very comfy. I can’t say anything negative and would recommend for a anyone looking for a Great Lake vacay to rent this spot. Also, Lee the host was very quick with any questions or help and gave great recommendations for boat rentals, food and places to visit. Can’t wait to return to one of his properties soon!

About the host

Hosted by Lee Burrell

Host profile image
Originally from the southeast, I’ve spent the last 12 years traveling to 60+ countries around the world and have lived in 6 different (and amazing) cities across North America - it’s been awesome and I’ve had the privilege of meeting so many unique and amazing people.

When I migrated back to my home state of Georgia, it was my dream to be able to design and develop unique and elevated Airbnb experiences and share them with guests from all over the world - really showing them what “southern hospitality” was all about and bringing smiles to their faces.

When I’m not taking care of my amazing guests, I love doing things like boating, wakeboarding, hiking, kayaking, SUP’ing, working out, cooking, taking in amazing vistas, entertaining family and friends, reading, and traveling :)

The best part about being a host for me is meeting new people and helping ensure they have the best trip possible and get a taste of the “hygge lifestyle”!
