About this cottage rental
Welcome to Dawsonville and one of North Georgia’s most intriguing locations, Lake Lanier. Here you will enjoy beautiful North Georgia mountains, vineyards, outlet and boutique shopping, hiking trails, as well as a short drive to downtown Atlanta. This quaint studio cottage has all you need for a perfect getaway. You will enjoy fully furnished nights with a plush king size bed, fully stocked chef’s kitchen, and a custom designed master bath with a stand-up shower and a beautiful air-bath tub. Comfortably heated floors are included for colder nights and a gas firepit table on the deck.. On warmer evenings you will enjoy sitting on the outdoor porch, overlooking the tranquil garden of evergreens or on the newly added side deck with views of Lake Lanier.(Please know that we are on the lake, but we do not have a dock.) This will be a perfect alternative to a hotel stay for you while visiting Lake Lanier, North Georgia mountains, wineries, or Dahlonega. We live right around the corner on the lake with a dock. We have two kayaks available for rent with access to the lake from our dock. Please inquire when you book to see if these are available.

The place was just as pictured. Very cute and perfect for a couple. Donna provided much more than any vrbo we ever stayed at. The refrigerator was stocked with everything we needed for our 5 day stay and she even provided a bottle of wine for each of us. There are many nice wineries and places to visit in the area. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a quiet getaway. 5 stars from us for sure.

Our stay was absolutely amazing. My main concern when traveling is always the cleanliness of the place we are staying. Our cabin was very clean and cozy. I felt like so comfortable there. Donna, the owner was more like a family/friend hostess rather than someone we rented from. She definitely has a God given gift of hospitality. From the stocked kitchen, to the perfectly decorated rooms it was wonderful. Unless you want to cook a huge meal she has everything you need! My husband loved her huge selection of coffee. She left us a welcome note with sweet treats which was so thoughtful. The bathroom is also stocked with everything needed. The heated bathroom floor was nice. With the Cross above our bed and the Bible on the table we felt right at home. The cabin also was stocked with games, books, an Alexa device, and televisions. From the outside you have small a view of the lake. There is a public lake access near by. The cabin is located in a very nice, family friendly neighborhood but the cabin is still private and quite. It's also located very near Dawsonville, and Dahlonega and within in driving distance of Helen, Amicalola Falls, and Ella Jay. If we ever visit the area again we will definitely stay here. This was my first VRBO booking and in the future if they are not all this wonderful I will be so disappointed.

Excellent, perfect, wonderful…those are the words to describe Ms. Donna’s Lakeside Retreat.
Cozy, warm, inviting…this little cabin is perfect for your little get-a-way.
Ms. Donna had everything so nicely decorated for Christmas. She is wonderful. Everything you need she has there:coffee, tea, creamer, yogurt, snacks, eggs, bacon…anything and everything she has it there awaiting your stay. Best place I ever stayed with using VRBO.
In case, you haven’t gotten how wonderful this place is and in case you didn’t understand the title….just stop looking for a place anywhere in this area and book this little cabin. Close to dawsonville, close to daglongea, close to Helen, convenient easy to get to any of these places.
Oh, and the heated bathroom floor was just the icing on the cake! 😊

This was an anniversary trip for me and my husband and one of the best properties we’ve ever stayed at! Donna was an amazing host and answered every question we had she had the fridge stocked with our favorite drinks and breakfast options for our next morning there plus a super sweet anniversary card with champagne waiting for us when we arrived. She even hung a happy anniversary sign above the bed. The house was super clean and comfortable the cabinets were fully stocked with everything you might need to cook with even a wide array of spices. The bed was so comfortable probably the best I’ve had at a rental property and the bathtub was super relaxing. I cannot say enough good things about this property and host. We will definitely be staying here again soon!

I travel a lot and stay in MANY private options. This is BY FAR the best experience I have ever had. The level of hospitality that Donna provides is the highest bar you can find. Think 5* hotel…. But I don’t want to give away all of her secrets… you have to experience them for yourself!!! ENJOY as much as I did 💯

Everything you have read about this place is so accurate. Donna was so pleasant and attentive. She met me at my car and made sure I was happy with her place. She even decorated for my birthday and added a little something special to my romantic getaway. Donna, I will be returning sooner than you think. I loved it.

This property isn’t as described, it’s better! The cleanest place you’ll ever stay. Nothing has been overlooked and everything is top notch. The cabin is located in a very nice neighborhood away from the hustle and bustle of surrounding areas. It’s only a 10 minute drive to restaurants and the Dawsonville Premium Outlets. I highly recommend this place if you’re staying in the area.

This cabin and owner are amazing. The cabin is located in a quiet picturesque setting. The owner was there when we arrived and even helped us unpack. She went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. She had snacks, beverages and food options that were for us to enjoy. The property was nicely decorated for fall. We enjoyed spending time on the porch enjoying the area and using the outdoor fire pit. The property is close to many area attractions and just down the road is a peaceful park that we sat and enjoyed the lake.

What a lovely experience. Seamless check in, spotless, quiet little neighborhood on/near the lake, access to town. Beyond everything else though, was the thoughtfulness of the property manager. Kinda blew me away.

My husband and I got away a few days to celebrate my birthday and when we arrived at the cabin Donna, the owner, left a birthday card, table decoration, bottle of wine and a “Happy Birthday” banner over the bed! That was just the beginning! We spent the days exploring wineries, mountains, Helen, etc but being in the cabin was truly the best thing about the whole trip! It was absolutely beautiful and cozy. Everything was perfect! The bed was extremely comfortable, the bathroom was gorgeous (even a heated floor), kitchen was well stocked, smelled great. We will definitely be going back! Best birthday I’ve ever had!!

Where to begin?! Everything about our short stay at this little cabin was amazing. This is probably the best VRBO we have ever stayed at! The property is such a charming, beautiful little cabin, perfect for a couple. Everything has been perfectly appointed, beautifully decorated and is very clean and modern. The host, Donna, was attentive to every detail and made us feel at home! She left us a note to welcome us, included a basket of snacks, drinks in the fridge and every amenity you could need. She was incredibly responsive via text, and was available for anything we may have needed (although she had already thought of everything!). From enjoying coffee on the deck, to relaxing in the comfortable king bed, to soaking in the jetted tub (while watching TV!), we enjoyed every minute of this little gem. Book this property if you want a beautiful place to recharge, relax and forget about the stress of everyday life!

Host was really thoughtful in the little details, she asked for drink preferences and left snacks AND breakfast items. After a couple of nights in hotels on the journey, it was great to land somewhere warm and homey. Perfect place to rest while visiting family. I loved sipping coffee and reading on the deck.

Our recent trip found us staying in such a quaint cabin, a space so remarkable that no measure of praise could truly encapsulate its charm. Nevertheless, I will attempt the feat.
Donna is something of a marvel. Our interactions suggest an individual possessed of a certain gentleness and a worldly intelligence. Here is an appreciator of life's finer elements, a veritable connoisseur of grace. It becomes readily apparent that Donna derives an unalloyed pleasure in her role as a host, leaving her guests on Cloud 9. She accomplishes this with an artful non-intrusiveness. In the ballet of hospitality, she is the prima ballerina assoluta.
The property itself is an exemplar of perfection. The décor is a symphony of taste and elegance. The experience of relaxing, bathing, or crafting a meal within its confines is such that words cannot accurately describe.
The bath was nothing short of a divine experience, made all the more decadent by the addition of an accompanying television to indulge in during the jet-propelled relaxation session.
Donna has orchestrated an absolute masterclass in VRBO management. Any couple with an eye for vacationing in the area would be well-advised to secure a booking at this property. Its charm is unparalleled, its value is unprecedented, and with Donna at the helm, it is nothing short of heavenly. There is no scope for missteps, and its lavishness belies its price tag. All told, this cabin may very well be a terrestrial manifestation of paradise.

First of all let me say this was the best VRBO experience I have ever had. I have experience with pictures that far exceeded the actual place. Such disappointments. This place was better than the fabulous pictures on line. Well decorated with many wonderful amenities, a fully stocked kitchen with plenty of pots, pans, toaster, crock pot, etc and a bathroom with a huge air tub. The beautiful deck with seating to relax or to have a meal outside and with a fire pit and grill. I can’t say enough great things about the venue.
The next fabulous part of this VRBO was the location that supported great day trips. Dahlonega, Helen, Amicolola Falls, Jaemor Farms in Alta, Ellijay, Commerce and many wineries. All of these are less than an hour drive. This was one of the most fun and relaxing trips which was the purpose of the trip.
Finally what to say about the hostess. Donna was amazing. Reached out before we arrived to see what we liked to drink. Bottled water were in the refrigerator, a basket full of snacks and pastries and our favorite drinks. We didn’t need Donna for anything during our stay but she checked in on us just in case. It was special care during our trip. You need to experience this place!
Thank you to Donna. We WILL be back.
