Gainesville House | Fabulous cove and location! Spacious 5 BR/4.5 BA, Outdoor Kitchen & Fire Pit

5 Bedroom House in Gainesville

This spacious, sparkling clean house on Lake Lanier, which we call Happy Ours, is the perfect lake getaway. Whether you’re celebrating an occassion or just want to spend time with friends or family, there’s room to be comfortable here. Situated on an open cove but not on rough "big water", you will be thrilled you found Happy Ours.
This beautiful home has bedrooms and bathrooms on three different levels, which offers privacy to your group. The main living area has a vaulted ceiling, hardwood floors, and lots of natural light from the wall of windows that overlook the trees and the lake. There are also three separate decks, two of which are covered, and one has an outdoor kitchen and a fire pit.
Down at the lake you have full access to the large private dock with an upper sun deck and plenty of room for swimming, fishing, and just hanging out on the water. You are welcome to bring your own boat and leave it in one of the two slips.
The house is in a great location, just a short drive to downtown Gainesville and Lake Lanier Islands. If you’re in the mood to shop, you can visit the North Georgia Premium Outlets in Dawsonville. And there are lots of great restaurants in the area.
Check out this amazing house and start planning your next family gathering or friend retreat!

Summary: House was immaculate when we walked in and was well stocked with all the pots, pans, beach towels, that you would need. Plenty of space to move around and excellent for entertaining with four different dining areas inside and out. We had fun at the dock and one person even caught a catfish. We didn’t need all of the bedrooms, so I turned the bunk room into a yoga space! The office was perfect for my son-in-law who had to work on Friday. Would definitely stay here again!
