The Shoreland Home on Lake Lanier With Dock

Windows everywhere make it feel like a tree house, on the lake. Our families home is all about family & friends gathering and having fun. The spaces in the home are very socially engaging. Take an easy 45 second, walk to the lake in our quite cove and go for an evening canoe, its pretty special. Bring your own boat and tie up at the dock if you prefer. The creek in the back of the home, that flows into Lake Lanier, is lightly active and creates a nice soundtrack for evenings on the back decks. The home has amazing fast internet, streaming media on the televisions, SONOS whole home audio system, games for the whole family, gas grill, multiple decks to enjoy the wooded setting by the lake, foosball table and a kitchen that is very well appointed. At Lanier Vacation Rentals our goal is to provide a 5 star level of service experience beyond anything you you would expect. Send us a note and let us know how we can make your experience 5 star!


The "FULL POOL" LAKE LANIER LAKE LEVEL is 1,071' above sea level. At full pool there is 5'6" of water under the dock. We have no warning of the Army Corps of Engineers plan regarding control of lake levels. Guests should check to make sure this elevation is appropriate for their needs. Spring / Summers are typically at or above Full Pool. At full pool we can hold most any motor boat on the lake and most sailboats under 30', ALL without any issue. Double check lake level elevations online, to see if the current levels meet your needs. Water has been very low this year and the dock was grounded in April/May.

Quite possibly our favorite of all residences we have enjoyed. This house was roomy and nicely appointed. Every need we could have had been anticipated as though they had known us well. My husband, our adult son and I were visiting our son and family in the area and this was most convenient for both us and them. Nicely located. The decks, etc. were as lovely as the house as we had delightful weather. The bedrooms were quiet and we noted how comfortably we slept. We highly recommend this home for a memorable stay.

Here is some info for people who want to bring boat. We rented this property for guys weekend. I don't live too far away so I brought a boat. Several of the local ramps are currently closed. The closest open ramp was Old Federal. It's 15-20 minutes from the dock by road and about the same by boat running around 20 MPH. The water at the dock is shallow but I didn't have any issues with my 25' deck boat. Parking the trailer at the house wasn't easy. We ended up backing the trailer into a clear area across the street. I'm not sure who owns that but when we left to get the boat out of the water the neighbor put a large dump trailer there. On the last night with the boat on the trailer the only option was to back onto the parking pad on the road and block the driveway. The driveway is VERY steep. Also note that the dock is not visible from the house. From the house there are several sets of stairs going down to a dirt path that goes to the dock. It was a great property and we enjoyed it just beware the things above.

Great rental for family

The property owner was very responsive and easy to work with. We actually met him and his business partner when we checked in. Our kids really enjoyed the house. The kids bedrooms upstairs were large and the private bathrooms were a big bonus. It feels like a lake house, which is what we wanted.The Sonos speaker setup is really nice and the foosball table in the basement was fun to play.Since it was late December when we stayed, we didn’t take advantage of the lake. But we could see it from the house. There is a very nice screened in porch with a fireplace on the back of the house with multiple deck levels leading down to the lake.There is a short and very steep driveway. It’s a bit intimidating when you first approach it. The location was great for us, as we visited Gainesville a couple of times. Easy access to 985 and 85. Shopping, gas stations close by also.

Peaceful retreat

The home is amazing. The area is peaceful and quiet. We enjoyed our family retreat and loved the outdoor screened patio with fire place, a great spot to talk and nap. The rooms were spacious and we all loved the various sitting areas, both inside and out to talk, read, play games and eat. The house was clean and well maintained. Our host responded quickly to any questions we asked. We would highly recommend!

Spring Break Vacation

Our family had a great time staying at this property for our spring break vacation. The kids loved the "big room" upstairs, and spent lots of time fishing from the dock. The screened in porch was great for reading and relaxing. The kitchen was well appointed, and the great room and dining room had beautiful views of the lake and trees. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!
