Lakeshore Retreat with Lake Lanier views & hot tub

This retreat is conveniently located near various tourist attractions and restaurants and on the shore of Lake Lanier. You can take an evening stroll down the lake shore or hop onto a kayak and drift on the peaceful waters. The entire Retreat is for your private use with an easy self-check-in process to accommodate various arrival times. You can come back after a day of exploring to kick up your heels and chill on a comfy couch, watching your favorite streaming services on a fine HDTV!

This Retreat 5 bed 3 bath sleeps 16 comfortably, has a full kitchen and a downstairs bar to serve all your dining needs as well as a hot tub ready and waiting for our guests to sit and relax in. There are 2 King beds, 3 Queens, 2 Twins, a sleeper sofa, and an inflatable queen air mattress and pump stored in the laundry room. So come on and enjoy this spacious retreat. Our guests will find it to be warm and welcoming, comfortable, inviting, and the hosts to be responsive and diligent to provide an excellent experience and a unique stay. This property is 50 feet away from the Lakeshore Cottage listing as the cottage shares the same driveway as the Lakeshore Retreat.

As a guest of Lakeshore Retreat, you have access to a number of amenities offering outdoor fun. Swimmers at Lake Lanier are encouraged to swim at designated swim areas only due to high speed boating. You can arrange with us in advance to purchase access to five kayaks on the property for lake enjoyment on one-tenth of an acre of lakefront. There is also a fishing spot at the lake access across the street, this can be accessed from the red stairs showcased in the listing photos. Please bring your own fishing equipment as this is not rentable through us.

There is a private entrance with a unique access code that will function between your check-in and check-out times.

We have lake amenities that are available for rent.

β€œOur large group enjoyed our stay very much! The house is beautiful and has plenty of room inside. The only small downside was the drivewayβ€” it is very steep and with a house that holds 16 people, it was tricky to fit the vehicles for that many as well. Otherwise, the house was a great fit for our large group and we enjoyed our stay!”

β€œVery impressive view, inside and out! This home was super spacious for our family trip to spend time together. We easily could have been happy with just the main + upstairs floors, but this home comes with a second full kitchen and living space downstairs too. Super spacious. The multilevel deck is great for enjoying the mountain view and surrounding trees, and the property is very private. (Another small rental shares the driveway but we did not notice any neighbors during our stay.) The larger upstairs kitchen was very well stocked with baking pans, dishes, utensils, and glassware. The decor throughout is very tasteful and the beds all seemed to be comfortable. The weather was too warm to use the hot tub but it seems very new, and the water was crystal clear (rare for a rental hot tub!). The kayak shore on the lake was also nice to have access to. The team was very responsive to any Qs we had, and always super helpful and friendly. Would definitely recommend this gem of a getaway!”

β€œThe house is large, accommodating, and well put together. Check-in was easy as the instructions were released electronically at the appointed time. The area is lovely and views are generous. The only issues we had were there were some light fixtures that were broken prior to our stay that should be fixed for the next guests. We were also a little taken aback by the amount of money required to return a lost item. There was a $45 "finder's fee", $25 handling fee, and $25 shipping fee (of which if the shipping cost less, it would be prorated). We were only looking to have one toddle size pair of shoes returned and that amount would have been more than double the cost of a brand-new pair of shoes. In the end, the host was unable to find them anyways, so it never went further than communication via messages. Just felt a little like a cash grab when we spend a decent amount of money on the place, paid extra to accommodate our dogs, and I feel were pretty good guests.”

β€œMy group of mothers and daughters truly enjoyed this amazing home and all of the amenities. The view from all levels was beautiful and we loved having all the nature around us. The house isn’t far from the main area in Landrum and Tryon so it was the perfect location for us. Don’t hesitate to book this place.”

β€œLoved the stay as did my entire team!”

β€œAwesome stay! They were very responsive. Thank you !!”

β€œCame to stay for a birthday trip with my friends and dog. Beautiful home, scenic views, and very friendly helpful host! The home was clean and very welcoming. It had everything we needed for our weekend trip. Only thing was the master surround sound speakers didn’t work but we didn’t mind too much. Great place for families and gatherings!”

β€œAmazing in every way imaginable!”

β€œWe absolutely had a wonderful stay! The house was clean, the host communicated with us, and the scenery was beautiful. I would definitely stay here again!”

β€œGreat place”

β€œWe enjoyed this house and all its amenities from the fun pool table to the outstanding hot tub!”

β€œBeautiful home! Beautiful town!”

β€œWe brought our youth group to the area for a youth conference. Our stay with Unique Stays was perfect for our group. Clean, spacious, easy check in and check out, perfect for our group. We requested an early check in and they were quick to communicate and very accommodating. Would definitely recommend.”

β€œThe house was beautiful and very spacious. Check in and check out was very easy and the place was very clean.”

β€œAlways nice to find a comfortable place for the family to gather. Plenty of room with all the basic necessities. Thank you for having us and we look forward to returning in the future.”

β€œHouse is amazing!!”

β€œWe enjoyed our stay. The house was spacious and clean.”

β€œThe stay at Unique Stays was great! The house was clean, and the actual house matched the descriptions in the posting, the location was perfect for what we were looking for i.e. peaceful place away from city. The host Sage was great from starting i.e. from the time I booked the place, she was very helpful and responsive, always quick to answer questions and offered great local recommendations. Staying here is highly recommended and would be happy to return if we plan another get together. The only minor inconvenience was the slow water pressure in the sink of one of the bathrooms, which I think is easy fix for the host.”

β€œWonderful house and the host went above and beyond for our family!”

β€œWe were here for work and it was great. We will be trying to stay again.”

β€œWe had a wonderful weekend stay at this beautiful home with our family. The house was clean, spacious, and well-stocked with plenty of towels and amenities for everyone, which made our stay super comfortable. The beds were a bit firmer than we’re used to, but everything else more than made up for it. The AC worked amazinglyβ€”kept us cool and comfortable the entire time. We especially enjoyed spending time together using the pool table and playing in the lake with the provided kayak and inflatables. The view was stunning, and communication with the host was smooth and responsive throughout. We would absolutely recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing, fun, and well-equipped getaway!”

β€œBeautiful and amazing house! Plenty of room for our extended family. Beds were comfortable and showers were hot!”

β€œExtremely responsive and helpful team of hosts. I had an issue with the power (local grid) no fault of the host. The team responded immediately contacting the power company. They assured me they would handle it. I left for diner with friends and the power was back on by the time we got back. The host had great communication and sent me regular updates. I felt like I was in good hands with them. Everything after that point went perfectly! Gorgeous house with plenty of views and private rooms. Everything was as pictured and the kitchen was well stocked with supplies. Easy check in and check out. I would love to stay with this host on my next getaway!”

β€œNice place, and area. Had a few issues with the place and maintenance tried to fix them but couldn’t. Communication was good.”

β€œA very kind responsive renter. I would definitely go back.”

β€œBeautiful house! Beautiful surroundings! We will be back!”

β€œBeautiful house with a lot of space to spread out. Super clean and had everything we needed. The host was very responsive.”

β€œ3:49 PM We loved this place so convenient and we didn’t want to leave we felt right at home here !”

β€œVery nice place which can host a lot of people. Beautiful surroundings and great views. House contains almost everything you need, except hairdryer and iron - it was a little problem with so many people. But hosts were very responsive, everything was clean inside and hot tube outside was fantastic! Recommend πŸ˜Šβ€

β€œWe had a wonderful stay here! There was plenty of room for everyone and the layout was perfect for our needs. The kitchen was well stocked for cooking and dining, but be sure to bring any Tupperware/Ziploc bags/foil/etc. that you might need. Host was very friendly and responsive, providing very clear directions on getting to and in the house, and checking in once we were settled to make sure everything was satisfactory. One note… The top bunk on the queen over twin bunk bed is as high as it looks in the picture. I wouldn’t put a young child up there, but my teenager loved it. We would love to stay here again sometime!”

β€œThe host was very nice and responsive! It was a very room place with great views! Kids loved the pool table and hot tub!”

β€œWe really enjoyed our stay for a girls weekend away. The hot tub was lovely and the town nearby is so cute. The kitchen was well stocked and the house was spacious. We would love to come back. Back.”

β€œThat place is simply amazing. Has exactly what you need to have a wonderful stay with nothing more. It was incredibly peaceful staged beautifully and the Hot tub with the outsideπŸ‘. It is a magical place and I hope to enjoy it again soon.”

β€œWe loved our stay in this beautiful house with family and friends. The house was set up very nice for kids to enjoy the lower level and adults more the main level. (13 ppl total) Very roomy. Although kids and adults enjoyed many hours on the PAC - MAN game. 😊. Great views and location. We ran out of trash bags on our second day and could have used more towels that were provided. I would recommend bringing towels for the hot tub as you will need them also. We enjoyed some sightseeing around the area with short hikes and waterfalls. Shopping and coffee in Landrum also. Quiet and great views we enjoyed the fire Pit a lot. The charcoal grill is very small and you will need to bring your supplies for that. Would highly recommend a Weber grill that would be a better size or a gas grill. πŸ˜Šβ€

β€œLove it. SIMPLE”

β€œMy husband and I really enjoyed our stay here. The house is beautiful and VERY spacious. I would recommend staying especially if you have large family or group. Beautifully decorated and clean.”

β€œGreat stay for a group! We loved it and will stay again if we are ever in the area! Awesome house”

β€œRented with unique stays for a small mini 4 day vacation The place great highly recommended everything was spotless very easy and clear instruction on how to get inside the house provides plenty of space and privacy views were amazing the coffee was good my kids enjoyed the enormous house and the hot tub they had available for use very nice my wife and I enjoyed exploring a couple state parks no to far from the house overall we had a great experience the host was helpful and responsive every easy to get a hold of can’t wait to book with them again on another vacation hopefully next time longer… thank you unique stays for a great experience”

β€œGreat Place”

β€œAbsolutely loved! It was a huge place and perfect for future planned family events. Decorated adorably. Close to the private lake entrance. Peaceful and quiet. Absolutely loved our time there and can’t wait to return. Sage was quick to respond and helpful. The space is very open and had games and a large kitchen to prepare food and visit. Photos don’t do it justice really. Loved it. - side note - lots of stairs. Probably not the best for someone who can’t walk stairs regularly. But it’s also great exercise for those who can.”

β€œGreat place”

β€œThe home was beautiful and extremely spacious! There was plenty of space for our group of 16. I really liked that the home had 2 living areas so the adults could have conversation upstairs while the kids watched TV downstairs. The upstairs master bedroom and bathroom was enormous! Access to the home was steep but very attainable. There is a 4 car max for a reason!! Our family would definitely stay here again?!”

β€œAwesome!”

β€œThis is a beautiful home. The host was awesome as well very responsive. This was a great stay!”

β€œLooking forward to next year. Excellent place and host were very responsive with any of our questions”

β€œWe felt right at home. I recommend this spacious home for anyone seeking relaxation.”

β€œWe really enjoyed our stay at this spacious, beautiful home! It’s perfect for entertaining a large family or group with an open floor plan. The house has a perfect view of the mountains and a nice hot tub. We will definitely be back!”

β€œVery nice location. Host was responsive and kind. Ample space inside for everyone!”

β€œBooked for a wedding. Easily accommodated my large family.”

β€œWe had a great time. The kids enjoyed themselves with the arcade and pool table.”
