Lakefront Apartment near Lanier Olympic Park Venue
Great place we had tons of fun, the lake is beautiful. Quiet and private. The deck is great to enjoy the sunset. The hosts are great and accommodating. We spent a few months here for work and enjoyed every bit of it. Next time we are back in Gainesville will 100% stay again

River romance apartment on the river !
I had a great stay. The place is very easy to find and in a great location. Was very impressed with how clean and organized everything was. Would highly recommend staying at river romance.

Norcross/Atlanta:Entire Unit H,FASTWiFi, FreeParkn
Danielle is a great host. Responsive, accommodative, and thorough. Will be rebooking.

River Suite For Two
Our stay here was fabulous and felt right at home. This home is very cozy with beautiful decor and obviously well thought out on everything. We were so close to downtown and were able to walk mostly during our time here. We will certainly plan to return and recommend this to our friends that need a place for two.

The Hooch Hideaway
This was the perfect location—right on the river and easily walkable to all the shops and restaurants in Helen!

Lakeside Retreat on Lake Lanier
We had a wonderful stay! The property was exactly as described—clean, comfortable, and perfectly located for a peaceful lakeside retreat. Having direct access to the lake was a highlight, and the host was friendly and helpful, offering great local recommendations. Highly recommend!

Club Cozy 2bd 2bath near The Battery/Braves!
My daughter and I stayed here while in town for a Braves game. The location is within walking distance to the stadium if you are ok with crossing traffic. Although, I wouldn't attempt walking back at night due to traffic. There are two small places to grab food in the Apartment Complex and many more within a miles drive. The mall is right around the corner and worth the visit as well. I highly recommend staying here for any of your Cobb County plans.

Top floor
We enjoyed our three night stay very much. We love to walk, but yet being just a few short blocks away from Main St meant we could walk everywhere yet have a quiet place to sleep at night. The parking, while not a dedicated spot, was never an issue - always right out front. The kitchen had just what we needed since we only planned to have breakfast each morning.
Waterfront house rentals

Lakehouse: with 2 slip dock and a detached suite
Sidhant was a great host and responded to all of our needs quickly. Perfect for 2 large families enjoy time on the lake! We were able to dock our boat. Water depth is great here for boat and swimming. Dock was not far from the house as most others can be at Lake Lanier.

Cove Cottage: Near Lake Lanier Olympic Park
We had a wonderful stay! We would definitely stay again next time we are in town.

Lake Front Tiny Home on Timpson Cove
We will have to come back and visit this wonderful house and boat house in the summertime. I can only imagine how wonderful it is when you can enjoy sitting on the dock and soaking in this beautiful lake. We visited on probably the coldest weekend of the year, so we did not get to take full advantage of all the amenities. Everything was really nice and we had a very relaxing long weekend.

Lakefront Modern Cabin with Dock
What an amazing lake house for a weekend retreat. This house was beautiful and had every amenity we could ask for. A beautiful back deck with a fire pit (they provided wood for fires) & a nice clean grill with a propane tank available. The kitchen also had every thing you would need, we cooked a huge meal each night. The two story dock was perfect for lounging and else even were able to bring our boat and keep it tied to the dock for the weekend when we weren’t using it. You can tell the owners of this home really take pride in it. They spared no expense providing the best in this home from the furniture to the ceiling fans & everything in the kitchen. I highly recommend staying here if you want a high quality place to stay on lake Lanier.

Lakefront Home with Fantastic Views
Our group of three families stayed at this Airbnb for a wedding, and it was an incredibly comfortable and enjoyable experience! The house was spotless, well-maintained, and had plenty of space for all of us to relax and feel at home. One of the best parts of the stay was the stunning waterfront location. Waking up to the beautiful views and enjoying the peaceful atmosphere made our trip even more special. It was the perfect setting for a memorable getaway. The host was amazing—super responsive and accommodating, ensuring we had everything we needed throughout our stay. Their hospitality truly made a difference. Overall, this was a fantastic place to stay, and we would absolutely return. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a clean, spacious, and scenic retreat!

Lakefront Lodge w/ Dock & 7 Private Sleeping Areas
With it being a tournament weekend and the reason for our stay, it would have been very helpful to have access to charge the boat batteries. Overall, had a very enjoyable visit and will stay again if we are ever in another tournament in Lanier. Thanks, The Roach's

Lake front, Private Dock, Fire-pit
We enjoyed staying for two weeks while our home was renovated. This home had enough space for my family and dogs. The path to the lake was beautiful and the dogs loved it. It was very cozy!!

Modern Luxury Lakehouse w/ Private Dock on Lanier
We enjoyed coffee while listening beautiful birdsong and the woods wake up in the mornings on the deck. Great space and well appointed for a family gathering!
Waterfront condo accommodation

Bulldog Bungalo 5 star Flat
Marks place is excellent His condo looks beautiful Perfect location in Athens Mark communicates perfectly Highly recommend his place in Athens and hope to stay there again soon

Mountain Lakes Retreat
Great little weekend getaway for our family of 4 including 2 small children. So many amenities and lots to do. The view from the patio with the porch swing was amazing!

Brand New on Toccoa River-Kayakers dream
This is a nice little house in the woods that is perfect for a getaway with a partner. The location was private, and there was a local store down the road if you needed anything else. Really nice kitchen, living room, and bedroom. Only complaint is the water smelled a little off (latexy), but I’m sure that’s just an issue with getting water to the location that’s out of their control. Other than that it was a great little getaway for the weekend and I highly recommend.

Walkable 2BR Riverfront 2nd-Floor | Balcony
Quick trip from Florida. Great spacious place for the family and pricing was on point comparatively to the surrounding market. Will 100% recommend and book this exact condo in the near future.

Riverfront 2BR | Dog Friendly | Deck | Fireplace
Perfect place to spend quality time with family and friends. Had a little issue with hot water the first night, but made a plan to spread out shower time between all and we no longer had the issue. In walking distance to the town!

Chattahoochee River House 1
Great and responsive Host. Location was great and within walking distance of Helen attractions. Home still had festive decorations and was very clean and cozy. Will definitely be back for Oktoberfest. Thanks for a great weekend!

Happy on the river 2 master suites
This spot was amazing to stay in and we would absolutely visit again. Close enough to downtown to have fun but far enough away that you felt like you had a private space in the woods. The upstairs swing was pure bliss with a cozy, fluffy blanket on a brisk morning. The only real issue we ran into during our stay was with parking. The garage only fits 2 cars comfortably and we had 3. The person with the most reliable E brake gets the hill! Also, bring your own toiletries. They weren't provided and the local store is a little pricey.

Riverfront Downtown Helen Condo 1BR 2BA Jetted Tub
We enjoyed everything about the stay. The location was perfect and within walking distance to everything in Helen. I really liked the seasonal fireplace and how clean and cozy the condo was. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting the area.
