Peaceful Lake Lanier Escape for Slow Mornings, Sunset Soaks & Gathering Together

We were in Gainesville for a family wedding, so several family members stayed at this amazing lakefront retreat. We all agreed it was the most fabulous VRBO we've ever stayed in! It was so accomodating with comfortable beds, fully stocked bathrooms and kitchen with wonderful snacks and drinks provided. The coffee/hot chocolate/apple cider/tea station was a huge hit! The downstairs was incredible. My 3 grandchildren loved it! There were games, movies, plenty of hot tub towels and even a fully stocked pirates chest! The icing on the cake was THREE bedrooms with a king bed and ensuite bath in each! Hot tub and kid's bunkroom were certainly a bonus too! The Christmas decorations were charming and made us feel right at home. We would definitely stay here again! Thank you Annette!

Immaculate property that exceeded our expectations in almost every way! Amazing host who was incedibly helpful from booking throughout our entire trip. Highly recommend this property!

If could give this property 100 stars, I would. It was so perfect for our family of eight. Small things, like having the wifi info in big print multiple places...that was huge! My kids did not have to ask me once for the info. There was a snack basket and water when we arrived. Of course, the kids loved that. The house is so comfortable and has so much space. There are coffee nooks all over. We had family movie night in the basement. So, so comfortable. The dock had fishing, swimming, sunbathing. We had jet skis delivered to us for a few days, thanks to a recommendation of the owner. The location is close enough to everything, but far enough away you feel you are getting away. My husband and I love to cook, and the kitchen had everything we needed, including and outdoor grill where we were able to do a hibachi night. We will absolutely be back. The best lake vacation experience and it would not have happened without this amazing rental.

The pictures are beautiful but truly do not do this property justice. It is impeccably decorated, extremely comfortable, an absolutely beautiful home on a lovely property. The owner seems to have thought of literally everything! We had a wonderful day and can’t wait to return.

We absolutely loved staying here! The cottage is very welcoming, beautifully decorated and fully stocked with everything you may need, including coffee, toiletries and fire wood. Great experience overall!

This beautiful home was perfect for a relaxing girls trip recently. It's beautifully and thoughtfully appointed; we loved all of the little touches like the well stocked coffee bar, the toiletries, even the fire wood. Annette was wonderful to work with! Like most homes in the area, it's a steep climb down to the dock/lake, but as we were there in November, we enjoyed the views from the deck, patio, and the hot tub. We would absolutely stay here again!

Hot Tub + Fire Pit + Canoe = Great Outdoor Family Fun. Lots of s’mores and lake activities got all our teenagers outside and off their screens for a bit with all the comforts of home. What a nice break!

This property was clean and well maintained. The kitchen had all we needed to have home cooked meals and snacks as needed. It is kid friendly with various toys and activities and a playground for them too. The dock area was clean and ready to go, as was the hot tub. We would recommend it to anyone with a medium sized family group. It is easy to reach from Gainesville with handy grocery stores and nearby restaurants that please families.

We had an amazing time at Annette's place. She was absolutely wonderful to work with. The house is stocked with everything you could possibly want or need for a vacation at the lake. She goes way beyond what you usually find in a rental property. The house is clean and comfortable and we watched the fireworks over Lake Lanier on July 4th from the dock. We fit two families comfortably. I highly recommend this home for anyone looking for a lake getaway.

Our stay at Bell haven was perfect. The house was beyond beautiful and had so many cute details. The owner was quick to respond and very helpful. I would recommend this property to anyone looking for a perfect get away.

Belle Haven is outstanding. Being there is like staying in your own private resort. The cottage is clean and modern with high-end amenities and appliances, but feels like a secret country house surrounded by flowers and butterflies. We enjoyed special seating spots for coffee or conversation and larger areas for gathering for games or a meal at the dining table which seats ten. The charming décor and special touches make the space feel posh but also cozy and relaxing. Beds were comfortable and had plenty of pillows. It is a lovely property nestled into beautiful landscape but also near grocery and restaurants. The cove is secluded and offers wonderful opportunity to swim and play in the water. The owners have thought of truly every single thing (games, fluffy towels, kitchen necessities, coffee/tea/cocoa bar, books … the list goes on) to make a trip fabulous, and they went above and beyond to make our family trip amazing.
