Perfect lake location in open cove! Private dock, Outdoor Kitchen & Fire Pit

This spacious, sparkling clean house on Lake Lanier, which we call Happy Ours, is the perfect lake getaway. Whether you’re celebrating an occassion or just want to spend time with friends or family, there’s room to be comfortable here. Situated on an open cove but not on rough "big water", you will be thrilled you found Happy Ours.

This beautiful home has bedrooms and bathrooms on three different levels, which offers privacy to your group. The main living area has a vaulted ceiling, hardwood floors, and lots of natural light from the wall of windows that overlook the trees and the lake. There are also three separate decks, two of which are covered, and one has an outdoor kitchen and a fire pit.

Down at the lake you have full access to the large private dock with an upper sun deck and plenty of room for swimming, fishing, and just hanging out on the water. You are welcome to bring your own boat and leave it in one of the two slips.

The house is in a great location, just a short drive to downtown Gainesville and Lake Lanier Islands. If you’re in the mood to shop, you can visit the North Georgia Premium Outlets in Dawsonville. And there are lots of great restaurants in the area.

Check out this amazing house and start planning your next family gathering or friend retreat!

Great location and very clean
This is a great location on the lake because it's not on the main thoroughfare. Businesses and restaurants are not far away. The house is very clean and has the kitchen dishes and cookware you would need. Part of the walk to the lake is quite steep, but it is well maintained. Just be aware. The houses nearby were quiet making it a peaceful getaway. We had a great visit!

Amazing location
We stayed with our family of 12 and the property was absolutely perfect. The bedroom layout works perfect for multiple adult couples, or for parents with older children. The basement is super cozy and comfortable and allows plenty of room for playing games or watching a movie together. The dock at the lake was perfect and in a perfect location on the lake!

Beautiful Property
This property was perfect for our group of 8 adults to enjoy our annual golf getaway. There was plenty of room for all to sleep and the basement area provided plenty of entertainment for our group to enjoy during the evenings. The shuffleboard amenity gave us a two night event of a friendly tournament. Additionally, the downstairs table along with additional fridge & sink/bar area was perfect for our poker night and allowed some of us older folk to save the wear on our knees from having to travel upstairs for food or drinks while enjoying the entertainment area. The dock area was beautiful & one of our members in the group caught a decent sized Bass fairly quickly. Plenty of fish seen around the area to further enjoy if interested. The outside firepit & grill area was awesome and was used on our first night by the group. The grill was easy to use and large enough that we were able to cook 24 burgers on one cook. The owners were excellent to work with and even accomadated to some of our group that happened to be in the area as early arrivals. They checked on us the day of arrival to ensure we all arrived safely and checked to make sure we didn't have any further questions or needed anything. We absolutely loved this property and will definitely keep it top on our list for any future trips. This is definitely a property that is well worth the money for what you receive in return!!!

The Perfect Retreat
This rental was well appointed, super clean, and accommodated 3 adult couples and a single amazingly! It is rare that you find a rental with 3 king sized bedrooms all ensuite. Not only that, if we had the kids with us, this house could have accommodated 5 of them. Wow! The three levels of this house allowed each member of our group to have their own space to retreat to, and then the living room and porch was expansive enough to allow all of us to congregate together. The driveway also easily fit 3 cars and could fit many more if necessary. Loved the peaceful dock and the alcove where the house is situated. I can't say enough about this rental, it really was perfect!

The house was a wonderful choice for my family of 12 to spend the week of Thanksgiving. It was large enough that we could all spread out and cooking Thanksgiving was made easy with their fully stocked kitchen. We also loved the great outdoor areas of this house.

Girl’s Weekend
We selected this property for our annual girl’s weekend as it is close to a nearby spa and winery. The home is beautiful, secluded, and well appointed with everything we needed to have an enjoyable stay. The owner lives close by and reached out multiple times prior to our arrival and after we got there to make sure everything met our expectations. Check in was super easy! The layout of the house is perfect and certainly allows plenty of room to relax and have privacy if you need for different age groups. Our group consisted of Mothers, Daughters, Sisters, and Cousins coming from 5 different locations so we enjoyed the space to be together, cook, and enjoy each other’s company. The main living space was plenty large enough for us to do this without feeling cramped. We are a family of great cooks! It’s always important to us for the kitchen to be well stocked with most everything we need to cook up a wonderful meal. This property did not disappoint! The outdoor kitchen space and adjoining patio area were beautiful and allowed us to have views of the lake. We also loved the fire pit! The porches have plenty of furniture to sit and enjoy the views and peaceful privacy. Our party of 6 really had a wonderful time at this lakeside property and would definitely recommend to others.

Relaxing Labor Day weekend
This house was great for our group of friends with toddlers. The basement space gave us a place to hang out while the kids were asleep at night where we wouldn’t accidentally wake them with our conversations. Having 2 refrigerators made it easy to hold food for several families. The dock was great for afternoon swims in the lake. The house is at the end of the cove so not too much boat activity. We rented a boat from Port Royale marina that was super close to the house. Highly recommend that. Plenty of parking & outdoor space for hanging out in. We were very pleased with the whole experience. Thank you!

Unforgettable Family Getaway at Lake Lanier
Our family recently took a trip to Lake Lanier and stayed at a house that exceeded all our expectations. The layout was fantastic, with an abundance of bedrooms and bathrooms. What really impressed us was how clean everything was. We had no problem finding space to store our belongings, thanks to the spacious bedrooms and the empty pantry in the well-equipped kitchen. To make the most of our lake experience, we rented a boat from Port Royale Marina, which was conveniently located nearby. Taking the boat to dinner was an absolute blast and added an extra element of fun to our trip. We would highly recommend this option to anyone looking to fully enjoy the beauty of the lake. We have to give a shoutout to our amazing host, Joni. She was incredibly responsive and went above and beyond in providing us with valuable information about the area. Her generosity with her time contributed greatly to the success of our trip. If you're looking to have a fantastic time at Lake Lanier, I highly recommend this house.

Perfect Lake House for Large Group
Extended family trip to lake Lanier. The house had a great layout with lots of bedrooms and bathrooms. Everything seemed clean. Plenty of room to store your stuff in the bedrooms and kitchen had an empty pantry. Outdoor fire pit and kitchen area were great for making dinner, s'mores and hanging out. The walk to the dock was pretty. The path closest to the house is pretty steep or take the stairs. But mostly level after that. Kids swam off the dock, the water level when we were there left a little bit of a beach area so the toddlers in our group were able to stand in the water and just play where it was shallow after climbing down a very small drop off. Owner was very quick to respond and kept in touch well. The cove you are off is perfect for kayaking, also used it for tubing. Only negative is the temp in the house. The lowest you can set the A/C is 75 and the rooms upstairs were reading 78 most nights (thermometer on baby camera) we bought a couple fans for the room with 3 twin beds so the kids could sleep better. Other 2 upstairs room has ceiling fans. So if you need it cool to sleep the only room that was cool was the king bedroom on the lowest level.

The manager was very helpful and check-in was super easy. We had 8 in our family and the home was comfortable for everyone. There is a long walk to the lake and some steep areas to get there. Might be hard for some to navigate but it’s good exercise. There is shopping and marinas close by which is very helpful. We rented a boat at Port Royale Marina which is not far. Would highly recommend if you want to enjoy the lake. It was nice we had a dock to use as well.

Great Time with Family
The property was as advertised. The property owner was wonderful to work with. The house was clean and the beds were comfortable. We had 10 adults and 2 babies. There was plenty of room for everyone. The walk down to the lake is not bad, but someone with mobility issues may have a difficult time. It was very windy and a little bit of rain so we did not use the dock as much as we hoped, but it definitely served the purpose of gathering with the family to spend time together playing games and cooking meals! We would definitely rent here again.
