About this house rental
Welcome to Belle Haven Cottage, a peaceful lakefront retreat tucked into a quiet no-wake cove on the coveted north end of Lake Lanier in Gainesville, Georgia. Thoughtfully designed for slowing down, reconnecting, and enjoying life at a gentler pace, Belle Haven blends upscale comfort with the warmth and ease of true North Georgia lake living.
More than just a place to stay, Belle Haven is a place to exhale.
Mornings begin slowly with coffee on the dock as mist rises over the water and birdsong echoes through the cove. Afternoons invite long conversations on the deck, peaceful paddleboarding, nearby winery visits, mountain-town exploring, or simply relaxing with a book beneath the trees. As evening settles in, gather around the fire pit, soak beneath the stars in the spacious hot tub, or unwind indoors beside the fireplace after a day well spent.
The beauty of Belle Haven is not found in crowds or noise—but in calm water, quiet moments, and the feeling of having your own private corner of Lake Lanier.
Located in Laurel Park Cove, a protected no-wake cove on the quieter north end of Lake Lanier, Belle Haven offers a peaceful atmosphere ideal for relaxing, reconnecting, and enjoying the natural beauty of the lake at a slower pace.
And if you are planning to bring your boat
Laurel Park is home to Hall County’s impressive Mega Boat Ramp, designed to keep lake access available even during lower water levels on Lake Lanier. Your cottage getaway is 2 minutes from the ramp.

Resort-Style Hot Tub Under the Stars
The oversized hot tub is a guest favorite year-round—perfect after cool lake mornings, mountain adventures, or evenings around the fire pit.
Thoughtfully Designed Gathering Spaces
From the cozy indoor fireplace to lakeside evenings outdoors, the cottage was designed to make time together feel effortless and comfortable in every season.

10 / 10Outstanding·Dec 2025
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!

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.
