Blue Lagoon: Lakefront Retreat! Holiday ready!

Welcome to our resort-like accommodations (5bd/3ba) on the south end of Lake Lanier! Come and relax, let the stress melt away or enjoy making fun family memories! Lake Lanier has over 700 miles of shoreline spread over 38,000 acres! This is our personal vacation home and we hope you enjoy it as much as we do. Property is decorated during Fall/Thanksgiving/Christmas including Christmas tree. NOTE: Our boat cannot be rented. Rentals are available nearby.

The lake is just a short walk to our two docks where the water is deep, clear, and close to everything. A rare find on Lanier, the two docks ensure lots of privacy during your stay. The path to the main dock is lit at night and there are lights on the main dock. One dock is a fully enclosed “grandfathered” in dock. You don’t see many of these anymore and great for fishing! Grill or cook on your own or drive 10 minutes to nearby downtown Buford for great food and music. You can order Uber Eats, Doordash and Instacart. All which deliver straight to our doorstep.

You are a very short drive/boat ride from Lanier Islands/Margaritaville where you can golf or visit the water park. Rent a boat and/or jet skis at Holiday Marina or bring your own and tie up on the side of our dock (there is a boat ramp right across the cove at Lanier Harbor Marina). Our main dock is 24 feet long. Or just sit on the dock and enjoy the gorgeous sunsets on the two swings or provided chairs. You will have access to two kayaks (with backrests) and two paddle boards during your stay on our huge NO-WAKE cove. If Margaritaville is doing fireworks, you can see them from one of our docks. In the cooler months experience a 7 mile tour of light displays and other fun filled holiday attractions at "Magical Nights of Lights" and "Snow Island".

You will have access to over 3000 sq feet and wide-open space with lots of privacy and plenty of places to relax. Again, this is our personal home and our only rental, so we aim to provide a personal touch. Our permanent residence is only 18 minutes away, so if you have a special request, let us know! We would like to make your stay as special as possible.

Liability Waiver:
• The terrain on Lake Lanier ranges from gentle slope to very steep. The flatter the walk, the shallower the water. The walk to our docks is considered moderate sloping for this lake. My parents, both in their 70s, handle the walk just fine.
• Please be careful as it is a lake property with uneven surfaces, slope & steps. Negligence may cause a slip and fall, and care must be taken, especially with younger children.
• Also, you understand the potential dangers and risks associated with water activities, dock access and take appropriate safety precautions and assume responsibility for yourself and any consequences caused by your party. There is no lifeguard on duty so swim at your own risk.
• Children under 13 should wear a life jacket around the water. We provide life jackets but may not have them in every size.
