About this house rental

Located in Gainesville, this attractive house for $620 per night is a fantastic option for your next trip. House, 4 Bedrooms, 3.5 Baths (Sleeps 11) This remodeled Lake Lanier home that we call our Blue Heron Cove house is the perfect spot for your lake vacation. Located on a huge cove, this waterfront property has lake views from almost every room. The house comes with a private dock with party deck on a quiet area of the lake in Gainesville. Bring your boat (or rent one) and park your trailer in the spacious driveway. The Blue Heron Cove house is well suited for family gatherings, a family reunion, 4 couples or even buddies in town for a fishing tournament or a golf getaway. The property is only a few steps to the dock and lake, and the grassy area gently slopes to the water. The professionally built outdoor kitchen and the fire ring make the outdoor spaces complete and enjoyable in all seasons. The house is convenient to shopping and restaurants in Gainesville. Lake Lanier Islands Resort and water park is about 25 minutes away. There are 4 bedrooms (see below) and 3 full bathrooms and one half bath. There is one bedroom on the main level and the other 3 are upstairs. Two of the 4 bedrooms open to the upstairs deck and have wonderful lake views. You can watch people tube, ski or fish from the house or dock and enjoy the sunset as well. The main living area has large windows overlooking the lake. The kitchen and the eating area can seat 10 people comfortably for dinner. There is seating outside on the patio as well. WI-FI is available. There are two flat screen TV's (satellite service); one on each floor. On the dock, you can sit and enjoy the sun on the upper part of the large party dock or stay below for more shade or fishing. Either location allows for a great view of lake activities. Port Royale is the closest Marina. Balus Creek or Mountain View are the two closest boat ramps. If interested, we have kayaks and paddleboards available for rent. We are a residential location and cannot accommodate a large EVENT. Family gatherings, couples, mature women or men's groups are fine and welcome. If you have more than 10 or 11 people, please inquire about suitability of space. We strive to maintain our home in pristine condition and have found party events are not in keeping with the vision for our vacation rental. Thank you for your understanding. **For additional sleeping capacity (3 adults), you can add the guest house for an additional fee, which has a king and queen bed with private bath. Inquire with owner for details. ***For gatherings that call for double or triple the space, check out our sister properties only 1 door down VRBO# 427011 or next door VRBO# 2784449.*** Bedroom Lay Outs 1.

We were a family of 10 (from 70 to 3 years old) gather for the holidays on this beautiful lake house. Property was clean and spacious, kitchen well equipped, the bedroom on the first floor was perfect for us, the oldest, while the youngest stayed upstairs, everyone enjoy the house and the beautiful backyard, nice firepit and very beautiful sunset. Location is great, very close to supermarkets, restaurants and church, but once you get to the house you feel like you are far away, in a very peaceful place. Good communication with the host, easy check in and check out. I will love to rent this place again in the future, perhaps in summer time to enjoy the lake.

This house and neighborhood really fit our needs. We always have a family Thanksgiving in Gainesville and this is the best house we have stayed in. The double ovens are great for Thanksgiving cooking needs, the half bath in the laundry room comes in handy too, and the big dining table was perfect for our family to gather around for the big meal. Joni was very easy to communicate with and the view on the lake was beautiful. Highly recommend!

This is our second year staying at this property to attend the Divine Conference hosted by Free Chapel and it was again, a wonderful experience and stay. Joni is a fantastic host and immediately answered any questions we had. The house has direct lake access, which was very peaceful because of the house's location. Sitting outside with a coffee in the mornings and a glass of wine in the evenings was so lovely and tranquil. We also took advantage of the firepit as we enjoyed the weather and watched the stars You will not be disappointed with the property!! Thanks Joni for a great stay... we will see you next year!

The house was perfect for our girls trip. It had more than enough room for 5 ladies (6 were planned). We loved the lake view and spending time outdoors on the dock, front and back patios, and at the firepit. The owners even left us firewood with a starter log. Gainesville is close enough for anything needed (restaurants, groceries, etc.). We would definitely stay here again.

The house is as described and everything was in very good condition and very clean. The dock is very close to the house and also in nice shape. While we were there we had very little boat traffic. Joni was very quick to respond to questions. We had a great time and would definitely rent again.

Wonderful, relaxing vacation! Great time with our adult children. Great location, very easy access to shopping and entertainment. Lake access was just steps outside the back door. We rented a boat one day and enjoyed kayaking and floating the other days. Joni was very responsive in answering questions. Easy check in and check out.
