Modern Rancher on Lake Lanier in Gainesville

Nestled on the north end of Lake Lanier, our cozy ranch home provides a unique experience integrating lakeside living with modern design in a peaceful rural setting. The house offers 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a game room and comfortably sleeps 10-12 guests. The outdoor space boasts a covered patio, BBQ, outdoor seating and a huge greenbelt that leads you to the lake. A perfect retreat for families, couples and friends alike.

The lake is just a short walk from the house where the water provides a gradual entrance that quickly drops off to deep, clear water.

Pets:
Two well-mannered house-trained dogs of any size. Sorry – no cats are allowed due to allergies. Please clean up after your pet and keep them on a leash in accordance with county laws.

Check-in: 3pm by door code / Check-out: 10am.

House Rules:
Absolutely NO parties or events are allowed. Please be respectful. Neighbors are close by, but very nice and keep to themselves. This is not a party house so please look elsewhere if you are looking to host a party or event of any kind. Reasonable fun and noise is absolutely acceptable.

Security:
For everyone's safety we have 5 outdoor security cameras. They are located at each corner of the house and front entry. We do not have cameras in the house.

Quiet hours: 11pm-7am.

Parking: No parking is permitted on the street or on the lawn. There is ample room for up to 5 cars in the driveway.

Wildlife:
You may see our local wildlife wandering around. We have a variety of critters that love living near the water and woods. Please do not disturb them. You may see otters, turtles, woodchucks, birds, deer, frogs and more! While you enjoy the sights and sounds of nature (and the occasional rooster) please be respectful and leave them be.

Liability Waiver:
The terrain on Lake Lanier ranges from gentle slope to very steep. The flatter the walk, the shallower the water. The walk to the lake is a gentle slope. My parents, both in their 70s, handle the walk just fine.

Please be careful as it is a lake property with uneven surfaces, slopes & 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 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. Children under 12 should wear a life jacket around the water.

Home with sophistication and style with separate game room and gentle walk to the lake.

This home is very nice with several varied functions. The beautiful clean statement colors of white, gray, wood and well-selected decor set a tone for conversation. Always set up for movie night or time in the separate game room. There is a gentle walk to the lake with a good view of the lake from the back porch or inside the 2nd living room.

Perfect Weekend Getaway

This is a home I highly recommend. The owner was great to work with and the home has a great layout for entertaining, cooking, playing games and watching movies. It's spacious and we never felt cramped. We had a women's type of family retreat and it was perfect for February when the weather was chilly and it was good to stay inside. However, we all said we'd like to come back when it's warmer to enjoy the outdoors and the lake. The owner was very generous in providing the extras like paper towel, tin foil, and the like and had a nice bowl of snacks upon arrival. Every bathroom was well equipped and you can tell the owner takes great care and pride in this property. We hope to go back there in the summer!

Lots of space and amenities

We had a group of friends stay--3 moms and 3 girls. There was plenty of room for all of us. Each mom had her own room, and the girls slept together in the game room. The game room had lots of activities for them, too!The kitchen was well-equipped and met all of our needs. We appreciated the snacks left for us. Communication was clear and checkin/out was easy.

Luxurious Home in Gainesville - What an Amazing Getaway!

This property quickly became one of our favorites. It was impeccably clean, well-stocked, and situated in a fantastic location. The house was incredibly quiet, with no noise from the road, and the expansive yard with lake access made it feel like a retreat center. The view was simply breathtaking! The lighting was perfect, with floor-to-ceiling windows, and there were plenty of extras like comfy pillows and unlimited blankets. The host provided laundry detergent, softener, and dryer sheets, adding to the luxurious feel of the place. The host was also incredibly responsive and hospitable. We can't wait to return next year.

Corbin’s

Everything was good and it’s a great place to stay everything but the parking there’s no parking when you have a boat with you so we had to do the best that we could. We appreciate you letting us rent the house for you on Thanksgiving. That’s our tradition. We usually go to the lake and they fish and we have Thanksgiving dinner so we sure do appreciate it. It was very nice. Thank you; from THE CORBIN FAMILY V

Great place on Lake Lanier

This place was awesome! I can’t say enough good things about our stay. Check in was easy. The house was perfect for our family getaway. The kids stayed in the game room after they exhausted themselves playing basketball, ping pong, and arcade games!! We brought our dog and she enjoyed the dog treats and fencing that was set up. We walked down to the lake and tried to fish but the lake was super low this time of year but in the summer I’m site it’s perfect. The decor and furniture is very nice and makes you feel comfortable when it’s not your own home! We give them 5+star review and will be staying here again in the future. Thank you Devin for all you help and letting us enjoy your beautiful home.

Nice & Clean with cool features!

We enjoyed the added touches by the owner such as dog bowls and treats for Bear! The house was super clean, tastefully decorated, and the beds were comfortable. We played ping pong a lot! The bathrooms had cool features. There was a power outage due to a storm for a few hours and the owner stayed in contact offering assistance if needed. We appreciated the communication.
