Waterfront vacation rentals in Gainesville

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

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.

Danielle is a great host. Responsive, accommodative, and thorough. Will be rebooking.

The location is great. Neighbor is quiet and nice. The place was just like the pictures will definitely use Dalvin again.

My husband + I loved our second stay at Kendra and Steve’s River Suite! They are such gracious hosts and have a beautiful little slice of heaven in Helen. We are already talking about our next visit! 💜

Mervin was an amazing host and his Airbnb was perfect. You have an amazing view right on the river, great restaurant underneath the listing and all around the location. Everything is walkable and convenient. We felt very safe and the place was clean and comfortable.

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!

Wonderful place !!we feel it like home we had a great time Great atmosphere just perfect highly recommended definitely we are coming back.

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.

If ur looking for a quite and relaxing weekend this is the place for u from sun up to sun down. The only thing that its missing is a fire pit but the dock in the back will make up for that. Especially if u like to fish or read a book. I plan on rerent this place again.

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.

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!

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

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!!

Very wonderful place. We stayed for a golf trip with my buddies at Royal Lakes (20min) and it was perfect. Plenty of space for friends to hang out and enjoy the weather by the dock. Arthur is very responsive and made the check in check out process easy. Really enjoyed this abnb and would recommended to anyone trying to get away.

JD was amazing! He was easy to communicate with and his home was clean and spacious. It was a perfect getaway for my family of nine and our pup. The kitchen and gathering room made it easy to make family meals and have multiple people in the kitchen - cooking and cutting and preparing. The little touches and effort to make guests comfortable were evident throughout the home and I would 100% recommend this spot for a relaxing, fun family trip. The hot tub, dock, multi-level deck, fire pit for s’mores, and surrounding trails and waterfalls made for a great holiday break, and Dahlonega, 15 minutes away, was truly a quaint, beautiful Hallmark town during the holidays. The kids loved the ice cream shop, Fudge Factory, and General Store. Thank you for a wonderful week! We’d love to return during the warmer months to take advantage of the paddle-boarding and kayaks.

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

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!

The place was clean, cozy, and absolutely exceeded our expectations. The photos don’t do it justice! The property was gorgeous and we even got to feed the trout off of the bridge! The hosts checked in on us on our first day to make sure we had everything we needed. If you’re looking to hike, there are plenty of good hikes within 20ish minutes of the place which was super convenient. It was the perfect place for a quiet, peaceful mountain getaway. We loved every minute!

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.

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!

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!

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.

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.
