Holiday rentals with lake access in Gilmer County

We had a good stay at Whippoorwill. We cook a lot and the kitchen was pretty well stocked with different pots and pans and also basic necessities (salt pepper/sugar/oil/vinegar). The A/C works well and surrounding area is prettt quiet, it backs up to a national forest. The home was one minute away from a popular day-use area with lake access, picnic tables and trails. It's only a few minutes from the dam day use areas (including river access) and maybe 8 min from Morganton point day use area which was the nicest, most beach-like lake access point we found. I will say based on the google map image I was expecting the home to have more of a lake view, that was the only downside, but it's summer so the trees are grown in. You can see it from the upstairs windows and from part of the porch though and we were able to see fireworks displays over the lake in July 3rd and 5th (we could see some of the 7/4 ones over the dam but trees blocked some of them). I would stay here again.

It was an amazing weekend, seeing wildlife everywhere on property was so cool, game room was awesome, fire pit was very relaxing and peaceful, we want to come back in fall so we can watch football on the tv in the covered porch. The fireplace in the house was amazing. Mary and Dianne were amazing host, they really made us feel at home. The snacks they left were A+. We will definitely be staying at Mary and Dianne place again.

The view is lovely. This home has separate spaces for families or groups of friends with two different kitchens. I loved that there was a bedroom directly next to parking so a family member with a disability could walk in without taking the stairs. The home had plenty of linens, games and kitchen equipment. Having two washers and dryers was also a nice bonus!

This house was truly amazing. My grandkids loved the game room, could not get them out of it, Lol. We would definitely go back again. Thank you Matt and April for a great experience. Lisa Treadway

We booked the “Looking Glass” as a surprise getaway for my stepson’s spring break (he is visiting from NYC). He is 14 and had a blast using all of the wonderful amenities that the home provides. We spent hours on the patio just listening to the river. My family and I will cherish these memories.

We very much enjoyed staying at Anna's Place. It was clean, we felt right at home, and Josh and Anna were very responsive when we needed help with something. I would love to stay there again sometime.

Beautiful home. Stayed here for spring break with our kids and another family. Gorgeous lake views and the house had all the needed amenities.

The most perfect place for a relaxed and quiet getaway! My husband and I drove up here from Florida for our honeymoon. It was absolutely beautiful and so comfortable that we felt right at home. We hardly left the cabin, there was plenty to do right there. Canoeing on the lake with our dog was the highlight of the trip. 10/10 would stay again.

Beautiful place Ms. Phyllis very friendly and answers every question you can have, definitely going again very soon

If visiting the Gainesville or Lake Lanier area I highly recommend at Pine Haven. Shaha is an excellent host and the house is gorgeous. Very peaceful location and would be excellent if you had a boat and could use the dock. 5 stars!

We had a great time on our impromptu trip to the lake. The house was clean and the sunsets were beautiful from the dock.

Beautiful home! Susan is awesome and communication was incredible. She really made our stressful wedding weekend easier and I truly appreciate her going the extra mile to assist with our special accommodation needs.

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful home!! Accommodations could not have been better! We will be coming back!!

We had a great time in the riverside cottage. The cottage was clean, the beds were comfortable, the fireplace made cool evening cozy and the kitchen was nice. We loved sitting in the sunroom listening to the water.

We were in Dawsonville for a wedding, and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this lovely home with peaceful surroundings! Everything was spotless, and the welcome snacks were a thoughtful added touch! The screened-in porch was a favorite for morning coffee (and, thanks to the outdoor flatscreen, for nighttime NCAA basketball final four!). We loved having access to the lake with the short stroll through the woods down to the dock. The home is so inviting…we wish we would’ve had more time to just hang out and relax…by the water, on the porch, around the fire pit, or in the comfy indoor spaces!
