About this house rental

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. Both family and corporate stays welcome.

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. Please reach out if you’d like to confirm how our space can best accommodate your group.

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 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 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.

Water’s edge was perfect for our family! We had three families with 6 little kids and a grandpa and having two full living areas allowed us to be together, but have space when we needed it. The space was clean and spacious. There were two dishwashers in the kitchen on the main floor which is incredible with 14 people. I appreciated that they had hand soap in the all the bathrooms and basic supplies. It made the first couple days so easy. The dock was big enough that 5 little boys could fish without getting their poles tangled. The boys loved the area to play in and it was safe. Oh! The kitchen was totally stocked! There is every kind of gadget for cooking that you could want. We had one issue with the plumbing in the basement. I only mention it because Ryan came out that day and spent hours fixing it and cleaned it all up. His attentiveness made the trip that much better! We would love to stay here again!

The home is beautiful and in such a tranquil location on the lake. Stunning lake views. Everything was as described and shown in the pictures. Ryan, the host, was great! Timely and thorough communications. Answered every question. We even read a prior review that the kayak oars were missing. Mentioned to Ryan and when we checked in a new pair of oars were waiting for us at the front door! Wow! This house is huge and can comfortable accommodate a large family. The fire pit area was perfect for s’mores and family time in the evening. We will definitely be back!

We had a lovely family trip at this lakefront vacation home. The house itself is clean and spacious, with a large main kitchen and two separate living room areas. This setup was great for our family of 13, as adults could relax in the well-equipped kitchen and main living area while the kids enjoyed the pool table in the downstairs living room. One unexpected plus was that there were more bedrooms than advertised, which gave us extra flexibility for sleeping arrangements. The location is fantastic—just steps from the lake with a convenient boat slip and a paddleboat available, making water activities easy and fun. A kayak was available; however, we were unable to locate the kayak paddle during our stay. The only real downside was ants in the kitchen. While the owner mentioned that the house had been sprayed, the ants persisted throughout our stay. Overall, a comfortable and well-equipped home with a great location.
