Sights to see:
Lake Lanier and the surrounding area has many well-known tourist attractions. Here are a few, within a 20–30-minute drive from the house:
• Helen is absolutely majestic year-round, but especially in late fall and winter. While there don't forget to get traditional German food at one of the many restaurants they have, take a look at Christmas decoration stores, glass blowing gallery, take a swing at Alpine mini golf Village and Cool River tubing is the thing to do if you are here in the summer.
• Anna Ruby falls is close to Helen and so very enjoyable.
• If you like to hike - Appalachian Trail, Helen to Hardman Heritage Trail, Mount Yonah Trail.
• Check out North GA Wineries, if you are skeptical - don't be, they are amazing, and to dine at Wolf Mountain Winery you'd have to make your reservation way ahead of the visit.

No complaints. Everything was perfect
8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Sep 2025
Overall, the house was beautiful, clean, and accommodating to our needs. The exterior however, had an abundance of spiderwebs, which we had to clear out around the home, porches, as well as the dock. The only negative, and this is a big one, is the understated walk to the water described in the listing. We were expecting a walk to the water the distance itself was not altogether concerning however the slope of the “hike” is in my opinion extreme. If there was any amount of water or debris on the path, then it was also dangerous. I was worried about someone twisting an ankle the whole time. The adults are in our 40s and also we had teenagers and all agreed that this hike to the dock was a serious hindrance in our ability to enjoy the water. It meant we weren’t able to take things that we wanted to to and from the water as easily, and therefore caused us to spend less time at the dock, simply due to the extensive slope and hike. If you’re young and fit, it’s doable, but I would not recommend this property for anyone out of shape or with small children, and certainly not elderly. I just think there should be more transparency about this in the listing, that way people can make the decision themselves whether they can handle it or not.
