Lake Lanier Hideaway Lakefront with Game Room and Dock

Hideaway Cove at Lake Lanier | Private Dock, Canoes & Game Room

Close to everything, yet away from it all.

Welcome to Hideaway Cove, a peaceful lake retreat tucked into one of the northernmost coves of Lake Lanier, where the Chestatee River flows into the lake. Surrounded by wooded hills, abundant wildlife, and the quiet beauty of North Georgia, this is a place to slow down, reconnect, and make memories.

Spend your days paddling the cove in a canoe, relaxing on the deck, exploring nearby mountain towns, or enjoying friendly competition in the game room. Whether you’re paddling the cove, exploring North Georgia, competing in the game room, or gathering around the table for Mahjong and cards, there’s something for everyone to enjoy!



Property Highlights

Private covered boat dock — approximately 8.5 feet of water depth at full pool; water levels vary with lake conditions.

Two canoes — explore the peaceful cove at your own risk. Life jackets should always be worn.

Outdoor fun — gather around the fire pit, challenge your group to horseshoes, or enjoy the fresh air on the deck.

Game room — ping pong, darts, air hockey, and a pool table offer entertainment for rainy days and evenings in.

Cards, Mahjong & more — a foldable card table and Mahjong mat are available for guests who want to enjoy a game night or a leisurely afternoon indoors.

Comfortable bedrooms — blackout curtains in every bedroom help everyone settle in for a restful night's sleep.

Family-friendly essentials — pack-n-play, highchair, children's books, puzzles, games, child-friendly dishes, and tear-free bath wash.

Thoughtful bath amenities — paraben-free toiletries and tear-free shampoo in the primary bathroom.

Plenty of parking — convenient parking in the Y-shaped driveway.

A note about house rules: To protect a family member with severe allergies, pets are not permitted. Parties and events are not allowed.
