Gainesville, Georgia
Water’s Edge is a newly renovated lakefront house in Gainesville, GA on the north end of Lake Lanier. Nestled in a quiet cove it offers numerous amenities, beautiful sunset views and is steps from the lake.
The house includes 7 bedrooms, sleeps 15 and has two levels.
The main level has 4 bedrooms, each with its own attached bathroom and can sleep 9 people. The master suite comes with a private bath complete with his and her vanities, a separate WC, walk-in shower and soaking tub. The Jack & Jill bedrooms each have their own private sink and toilet area, with shared access to a shower/tub combination. The bunk room comfortably sleeps 3 with a twin-over-full bunk bed and has direct access to the hall bath which includes a walk-in marble tiled shower.
The main level living room, dining area and kitchen are all open to each other, making it perfect for entertaining with friends or relaxing with family. The kitchen is fully equipped with stainless steel appliances, and all necessary dinnerware, silverware, stemware, and cookware are provided.
The main level balcony has custom made Adirondack chairs for lounging and is a great place to sip your morning coffee, or just relax and enjoy the view. There is also a patio table for dining and a gas grill for BBQing.
The terrace level comes with another 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths and can sleep 6 people. The master suite offers a view of the lake from bed and has a private en-suite bathroom. The two other bedrooms share a full hall bath and a half bath off of the great room.
The great room on the terrace level is perfect for entertaining with a large round table that fits 8 - ideal for games, puzzles or a big group dinner - a pool table and TV viewing area. Another full kitchen completes the level. The large balcony off of this floor offers a covered space with an outdoor sectional and lounge chairs, perfect to be closer to the water or have an afternoon drink out of the hot Georgia sun.
If you prefer to chill out inside, Water’s Edge has two 65” smart TVs with over 70 channels of live TV as well as super high-speed Gigabit internet. If you want a break from electronics we have old fashioned board games, card games and puzzles. There is also a good selection of books for those who would like to read during your stay. Working remotely is painless at the lake, with a writing desk and chair included in the front main level guest room.
For those who prefer outdoor activities, a secluded custom firepit area provides a perfect place for late night bonfires. Our private deep-water dock can accommodate most size boats should you want to bring or rent your own. We also have a kayak and paddleboat provided – perfect to use in the peaceful cove. Boat cleats on the dock can also be used to tie up your jet ski or any other water craft you may bring. A 30-minute boat ride down the lake will bring you to lakefront entertainment such as Pelican Pete’s, Margaritaville and Lake Lanier Islands Water Park.
Water's Edge has an ideal location close to conveniences such as grocery stores and gas stations but also close to rural farms and state parks. The rapidly growing New Holland Market area is just 15 minutes from the house and includes groceries, Ace Hardware, restaurants and more. Downtown Gainesville is an easy 10-minute drive from the house and has a quaint town square lined with restaurants, shops and bars. The Olympic Rowing Venue is only a 5-minute drive by car, or boat, from the house and offers a beach, boat launch, picnic areas, rowing events, and food truck Fridays with music during the summer months. A 20-minute drive north from Water’s Edge will put you in the North Georgia mountains with beautiful views, charming towns and noteworthy vineyards.
My travel group of adults and children had to switch our original rental and found this lakehouse for our NYE gathering. Great space for sleeping and gathering. Great communication with the host.
For generations of family were happy and comfortable in this beautiful house! The kitchens had everything we needed for preparing our holiday meal. Ryan was extremely responsive and helpful. We will definitely be back.
The house was everything we expected it to be. It was a girls' trip - only 5 of us in total. We were all comfortable the entire stay and had a great, relaxing vacation!
So much room! TWO kitchens! Beautiful lake view! Wonderful communication with the owner!
Fridge in main kitchen neither made ice nor kept drinks and ice cream (!) at proper temp. Carrying ice from the working fridge on lower floor got “old” very quickly. Path to dock not easily negotiated by older guests. A rope line down the middle of the steps could help solve it…like rope lines used at golf tournaments. Neither sink in master bedroom held water. Same with sink in bunk bed room. Ryan seemed sympathetic to fridge problem but sympathy did not lead to repair being launched. Despite all of the above we had a good time. It could have been a lot better.
We had a wonderful trip to this beautiful lake house, that surpassed all of our expectations. The house was very spacious for our six families to come from Florida and Ohio to spend a week together. There was so much room and everyone had a chance to relax. The lake is located in a quiet private section, so we were able to rent a pontoon boat for the week and basically have the lake to ourselves for tubing a swimming. We highly recommend this house and really appreciated the owner Ryan for being so kind and helpful!
This home has everything a family could need for a wonderful Lake Lanier vacation!
Everything was wonderful. House was great for our large group. Very well appointed, clean and Ryan was so great to work with. I would absolutely stay here again.
Beautiful house!!! Our family had an amazing time!!! Would definitely come back and stay again!!!
We throughly enjoyed our time at this lake home. It was really well appointed & comfortable. The host was responsive & available should you need anything. The first day we saw a jet ski with young girls having fun. After that, it was just us enjoying the quiet cove by ourselves. The neighbors we saw were very friendly. Would definitely come back & make memories in this wonderful home.
Had a great time at Waters Edge. Can’t wait to stay again.
The location and property itself were amazing. The kids as well as the adults we in the water all day. We absolutely loved everything that Lake Lanier had to offer and the house was just perfect. The host was also very attentive and provided us with amazing recommendations for restaurants, nearby activities and boat rental.
There were 15 of us age 2-64. The house accommodated us well. The great room kitchen area was awesome and all 15 of us had meals and congregated there often. We floated off the dock every day - we brought our own floats of all shapes and sizes - we were quite the sight I’m sure, rented a pontoon and it was easy to get to the dock, went in to Helen twice for great food and shopping. We also enjoyed the fire pit area and made samores. We were a little surprised the lower level had a basement type vibe and seemed to have an odor, it was not updated as nice as top level, but had little impact on our stay.
Great week with family at the lake!
