Luxury 3 Bedroom Lake Front Cottage

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 3 bedroom, 3,500 square foot 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.

Downstairs you will find a TV/game room with a pool table/ping pong table and 70” smart TV with a comfortable seating area.

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.

All bedrooms come furnished with smart TVs for your enjoyment. Plus, just in case you can’t get away from work for the week, there is a desk with monitor for your convenience. Don’t forget to bring any required specialty cables, HDMI to HDMI is provided.

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.

All pictures were taken in November 2022.

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 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.

Nightly rate is based on double occupancy. There is a $50/per person, per night charge for additional guests.

Beautiful lake house right on the lake nice area.
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.

On the Lake Perfection
I can't say enough about the entire experience staying at this lovely blue cottage on the lake. We booked the cottage (actually a really large house) on the lake as we were coming to the area with my son who will be stationed at Camp Merrill to be a Ranger Instructor. Upon my arrival, I found a lovely welcome package. Lots of little yummies to nibble on during our stay. The house was immaculate and there was music playing which was so welcoming. The house smelled fresh and clean. The house is stocked with everything you can possibly imagine to accommodate every single thing you might need. The house even has an ice machine - which is a "thing" for me! The comfortability of the house - outstanding. The flow is so easy and comfortable. The family room is relaxed , you will feel like you're at home. The kitchen is large and easy to find everything you need with numerous places to eat dinner. If you like you can even sit out on the screened in porch and enjoy the sounds of nature and the lake. The bedrooms are very comfortable. The beds are comfy and the beds are not super hard. I have stayed at VRBO's when the mattress is so hard its miserable. You won't find that a problem at the blue cottage. All in all, hands down I will stay here every time I am in the area visiting my son. Don't miss out on this place - book your stay!!!

Beautiful home with everything you need!
The host has left nothing out of this rental. I have stayed in many homes but this one is one of the cleanest I have ever stayed in. The host has also provided everything you could ask for in amenities (and more)! It is so nice they allow people to use their kayaks and provide life jackets. The coffee pods were a nice bonus ! I would definitely recommend this home!

Beautiful house on the lake
The house was beautiful - high spec decor, fully stocked kitchen and comfortable beds. The position on the lake had perfect views and was really accessible with the kids. The games room, kids outide play area and access to the rowing boat were a huge bonus and meant the children were never bored! The host is attentive with immediate responses to any questions about our stay, we will certainly visit again!

Fabulous Lakefront Home and Hostess
This beautifully appointed home is designed for memory making with your loved ones, and includes so many thoughtful items, like the games, yummy smelling soaps, and luxurious bedding. Kate is an incredible hostess and had the house fully decorated for Christmas and holiday music playing on our arrival. We are already discussing future visits!

Perfect Thanksgiving
We stayed at The Blue Cottage over the Thanksgiving holiday. I’ve stayed in many Vrbos, but never has one been this well equipped! It was amazing. The house was beautifully decorated for the holidays, and the view of the lake was gorgeous. Honestly, the only thing that would have made it better is if it was my house!

We absolutely loved our stay here! This house is spotless with so much thoughtful attention to detail. The kitchen is immaculate with everything you might need to prepare meals. The family room is both spacious and cozy with a beautiful view of the lake. We loved the screened-in porch where we got to watch deer in the morning. The beds were incredibly comfortable. We appreciated the basement bedroom and living/game room for the teenagers to have their space. Unfortunately, we were only there for two nights but we all said we wanted to come back for a longer stay in the warmer months. I cannot say enough about how much we loved this house. Also, Kate was a delight to work with. This was a positive experience all around.

A Mermorable Experience
We cannot begin to describe how much joy and tranquility we experienced during my stay at your lake house. The breathtaking views of the serene lake, the soothing sounds of nature, and the peaceful atmosphere provided the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. It was truly a rejuvenating experience that we will cherish forever. Your thoughtfulness in allowing us to use your lake home is truly commendable. The well-maintained and fully equipped house made my stay comfortable and convenient. From the cozy bedrooms to the spacious living area, every aspect of the house was meticulously designed to ensure a memorable stay. We particularly enjoyed spending time on the deck, savoring the picturesque sunsets and enjoying the company of one another. Moreover, we are grateful for your warm hospitality and the trust you placed in us by opening your home to us. Your kindness and generosity have left a lasting impression on us, and we are truly honored to have had the opportunity to experience the beauty of your lake home. Warmly, Brian and Miranda
