Welcome to The Blue Cottage on Lake Lanier! If you are looking for a romantic couple's getaway or a week or weekend with a few friends this is the perfect cottage for you.

Situated less than 15 minutes north of vibrant downtown Gainesville, Georgia and 23 minutes east of downtown Dahlonega, The Blue Cottage is the perfect Lake Lanier vacation destination for your family and friends. Whether you need a long weekend away or a week-long summer vacation, this house will not disappoint! >
A quaint little cottage on the outside, you will enter through the front door to an expansive home. There is a beautiful eat-in gourmet kitchen with separate wine and coffee bars. The kitchen has been thoughtfully stocked to include all essential items for your home away from home. It includes an induction range with double ovens, or it can be used as one large oven with air frying capabilities. Beyond the kitchen is the enormous, yet comfortable, great room with a 70” inch smart TV, additional dining space and conversation/game areas. A large screened-in porch is accessible from the great room to enjoy relaxing lake views or an outdoor meal. You will also find the King Guest Room on this main level.

Downstairs you will find a TV/game room with a pool table/ping pong table and 70” smart TV with a comfortable seating area. You will also find the 2 Queen Bed guest room on this level.

Walk down the gentle path to the two-slip boat dock with party deck! You can rent a boat from a local marina, enjoy the provided water toys, or just relax and enjoy the lake and gorgeous sunsets. If you are bringing your own boat, there is a boat ramp conveniently located just minutes away.

Bedroom is furnished with smart TV for your enjoyment.

Our family has rented vacation homes for years and wanted to bring elements of our favorite places to this home. We can assure you that The Blue Cottage will be ready for you to relax and enjoy! If you have any issues, we are a call away.

We will provide a starter package of paper towels, toilet paper, dishwasher pods, dish soap & K-Cups at check-in. Kroger is less than 2 miles away and a new Publix approx 4 miles away for any other needs.

We hope your family and friends love The Blue Cottage as much as we do!

PLEASE NOTE: Jet Skis located in the dock are NOT available for guest use. Jet Skis can be rented at local marinas. Also note that you must go under a low clearance bridge to access the property by boat. Depending on current water level, some vessels may not be able to access the area.

Our home is priced based on double occupancy. If there are more than 2 guests, there will be charge of $50 per person/per night. Please enter the correct guest count when booking.

If additional guests are observed after arrival and without prior approval, there will be an automatic $500 charge, plus additional overnight fees. At no time can more than 5 guests be present in the house.

    This is one of the best properties we’ve ever visited. The house was super clean and the owner was fantastic. She had great recommendations and made our experience unforgettable. We visited the area for some concerts in Alpharetta. She took the time to look up who was in concert and upon our arrival, the Alexa started playing their music. This was an incredibly thoughtful touch. We will 100% return.

    We had a great stay at The Blue Cottage. The house was stunning and had everything we needed for a week by the lake. The kitchen and bathrooms were well stocked with anything you could imagine. It was so much less stressful after traveling from afar to arrive at a home with all of the basic essentials already available. We were able to focus entirely on relaxing, and this was the perfect place to do just that. Kate was a tremendous host - very responsive and really went out of her well to ensure we were comfortable. She thought of everything! This was among our favorite rentals, and we have rented at many different locations. Really terrific.

    We had a wonderful vacation at the Blue Cottage! The home is beautiful and incredibly clean. Every need is considered. Kate was very communicative and answered every question, some anticipated before I could even ask. We would certainly stay again.

    Our family recently stayed at this incredible lake house, and we couldn’t be more thrilled with our experience. The home was impeccably decorated, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere that instantly made us feel at home. Kate (The Host) put so much thought into every detail—from the helpful amenities like extra phone chargers in convenient places to having an Alexa available to play music in the living room. This was our first family vacation in years, and it truly exceeded all of our expectations. The setting, the home, and the hospitality combined to create an unforgettable experience for us. Everything was perfect and far beyond what we could have hoped for! It felt like 'home' away from home. We wholeheartedly recommend this VRBO to our family, friends, and clients. It’s a gem, and we’re already looking forward to the chance to return someday soon! Thank you for such a memorable stay!!

    First off, Kate was an amazing host! She was super quick to respond to any questions we had and provided us with a notebook full of great information on restaurants, grocery stores, etc. There is a beautiful smell throughout this home. The owners spared no expense on the appliances, cookware/dishes, etc. The kitchen is super organized and fully stocked with every kitchen/bar gadget you need, along with an ice machine. The living space and patio are so inviting and comfortable. Plenty of space to spread out and relax. The bedrooms are spacious and dark and cool at night. All have an adjoining bathroom. The master bedroom/bath are huge. There were a ton of extra pillows, and the beds are extremely comfortable. Hand soaps/lotions in the bathrooms are high end and smell lovely. The lake beautiful! Dock is super clean w/an upstairs deck and nice comfy lounge chairs. We sat out there every night watched the sun go down. It was so quiet and peaceful. There is a water trampoline, kayak, floats, etc. to jump in the water and cool off. The pathway to/from the lake is very well lit and manicured. The downstairs floor has a full-size washer/dryer, ping pong, TV and very cozy. The lighting throughout this magnificent home has dimmers, so you can make any room as bright or cozy as you like. The garage is the cleanest and organized garage I’ve ever seen. There is a Blackstone grill for cooking out. There is a Kroger right up the road. We will definitely be back!

    We had a wonderful week spent on the lake and the house had everything one would need. During a few rainy moments, we kept busy playing Connect 4, ping pong, etc. Kate was an exceptional host and provided top notch hospitality. Highly recommend!

    The house was just as shown. It was clean and well stocked with everything we needed. The dock was clean and as expected. The trampoline and water mat were a bonus. Water was very nice. We took out the canoe several days & caught some fish. The game room provided plenty entertainment. Beds were comfortable and all bathrooms were spacious and spa-like. Kitchen had everything we needed and was a great size. Just overall very pleased. We will consider staying here again if we return to this area. Owners were awesome as well. You won’t regret choosing this place!

    This house is fabulous. It’s better than the pictures show it so welcoming and clean. There was everything imaginable that you would ever need for a lovely vacation. We had a marvelous time and would love to come back to this house. It’s in a great area as well many things to do very close by. Kate was great to deal with and very generous with things that she left for us. Thank you again.
