Vacation rentals with a kayak in Gainesville

We travel often and have stayed in many places, but this one was wonderful and peaceful and clean! We will definitely try to come back and stay again next year. The home is conveniently located to many activities in the area. The host was great and very friendly. I would recommend Crystal Cove Dock home to anyone visiting this area. The hosts made their home very warm and welcoming with easy simple instructions. The kitchen was stocked with everything you need to make a meal and the whole house was so clean. It was a refreshing stay!

Very nice and clean home. Worked great for our group with plenty of space and comfort. Communication from host was superb.

Wow! What a really nice stay. Really nice property and super awesome positioned at the lake. Fernanda was very helpful when we had questions. We look forward to our next stay

Dan's house a hidden gem. The photos are accurate, and the place is even more beautiful in person. Our group of 10 enjoyed the kitchen amenities, living room areas and the screened in porch. The view of the lake is breathtaking. The area is quiet and only 5 minutes to restaurants and the grocery store. Dan is a quick communicator, and we appreciated the local hiking recommendations (20-35 minutes away) and visiting the nearby wineries (30 minutes away). Dan, thank you for sharing your beautiful home.

I took my teenage daughter and her friend for a 'girls' weekend' at the lake. Karen's place was absolutely perfect and she was an exceptional host. We did have a small issue with the AC, which Karen corrected immediately. She was very responsive, very friendly, and very accommodating. (Plus this AirBnb comes with a DOG!! Sam is the sweetest goodest boy). We would definitely return to Karen's place and highly recommend it.

Great location on Lake Lanier, close to Gainesville. Kroger nearby. We would commute to the Olympic Park every day and it was only 10 minutes away. Nice house for a large group of people, a lot of kitchen appliances.

Great home our 2nd time staying here perfect

This was the most charming rental I’ve stayed in, whether for a family trip or a romantic weekend away! And Kevin was a very responsive host. From the second you walk through the door the home offers so much charter and warmth. The views of the lake were so beautiful and the house was so clean and provided many amenities. The location was great with downtown being about 10 min away which including a lot of great dining and shopping options. I highly recommend this rental to anyone staying in the area and will for sure be booking again! Thanks Kevin for sharing your space!

Here’s a suggestion for a five-star review: My family and I had an amazing stay. We evacuated from Hurricane Milton and Spencer was incredibly accommodating. He went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect for us to check in. Spencer was very responsive and quick to answer any questions, making the entire process smooth. The instructions provided were clear and easy to follow, which made check-in and navigating the space a breeze. Highly recommend this place and would definitely stay again.

When you pull up the gate you felt safe. It was an enchanting journey down the drive of wonder. Then you see a beautiful cabin sitting there by the river. The waterfall was beautiful coming off the mountain. We loved getting to pan for gold near the waterfall. The boys got to get their waders on and there fly fishing rods and got in the river. They caught two rainbow trout. We had everything we need to cook them that night. Nothing better than fresh trout. We would settle in every night with a big ole game of monopoly and then a tournament of darts. In the mornings I loved it the most. My husband and I would drink our coffee on the porch and watch the river go by and just listen to the peace and quiet. Such a joy of getting away from the hustle and bustle of life for a moment.

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

My family and I enjoyed our stay at Zoe's house. The house was close to Lake Lanier Olympic Park and Laurel Park, and not far from the downtown. Zoe's artwork, furnishings, sheets, towels and candles really set the home apart from other places at which I have stayed. We look forward to our next stay.

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.

Unfortunately I was unable to make it due to a conflict with travel, however my sister, her husband and their daughter spent the weekend at the house and had a wonderful stay. They said the house was very nice, clean, in a wonderful location, on very beautiful property. Will absolutely book again when we’re headed to the area!

Our stay at Anya’s was absolutely wonderful! The place was spotless, beautifully maintained, and had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing visit. Anya is an amazing host—warm, attentive, and thoughtful, making sure we had a seamless experience from start to finish. The location was perfect, and we truly appreciated the attention to detail in every aspect of our stay. We would love to come back and highly recommend Anya’s to anyone looking for a fantastic place to stay!

This was our second stay at casabella. We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the cabin. It is so peaceful and serene, but still nearby to everything.

The cabin was better than we imagined! I would go back many times! The lake and the accessories for being on the water were great! All the kitchen utensils were perfect! Everything was very clean! It definitely deserves 5 stars!

My family and I had a most relaxing, peaceful long weekend in Marty and Mike’s home in Lake Canoe. Everything was as described when we placed our reservation. We loved the house and will certainly rent again at some point in the future if the occasion arises.

This Airbnb was amazing! The host went above and beyond, making the stay truly memorable. The space was spotless, private, and beautifully decorated for the holidays, creating a cozy and festive atmosphere. The view was stunning, and the location couldn’t have been better—convenient and peaceful. Highly recommend this gem for anyone looking for a perfect getaway!

We had an amazing stay at this cozy cabin right on the river’s edge. Waking up to the sound of the water and having such easy access to the river made this place truly special. The short hike to the nearby waterfalls was absolutely magical—definitely a must-see! Our host, Sarah, was fantastic. Her communication was excellent, and she made sure all our needs were met throughout our stay. The cabin itself was clean, comfortable, and the perfect place to relax and enjoy nature. If you’re looking for a peaceful escape with beautiful surroundings and a great host, this is the place to be!

Gina was super helpful and responsive. This was a very last minute booking but even still the home was clean and ready for our arrival! Perfect fit for our family of 5. Loved the coziness of the house and the peaceful “backyard” with a path down by the river for exploring. We felt very safe and found lots of great hikes nearby. The only thing I would say is that my Google maps tried to take me to a different house a little further up the hill. Thankfully, we just kept going and were easily able to see the correct address number clearly once we got to the bottom of the drive. Thanks so much for a wonderful stay!

We loved listening to the creek outside the cabin each evening. Family enjoyed the hot tub, kayaking, and pool table.

I absolutely loved staying at this cabin! I was looking for a quiet and cozy spot in the mountains close to Helen and this cabin was everything I was looking for! It was dog friendly which allowed me to bring my pup and she had an absolute blast. The screened in porch was perfect for coffee sipping and Bible reading in the morning. The loft was lovely and appreciated the books available to read. Truly the perfect spot to get away but also close enough to do so many hikes and explore Helen. Appreciated the recommendations the host sent after check-in!

The cabin was beautiful and just like the pictures! I stayed there with 5 of my friends and there was plenty of space for us to feel comfortable. The lake was gorgeous and quiet. Jan was quick and responsive when we were checking in and out. I will definitely stay here again in the future!
