Private Chef · Lake Lanier, GA
A fully custom private chef experience at your Lake Lanier lakehouse, Airbnb, or vacation rental — in Gainesville, Buford, Flowery Branch, Cumming, Sugar Hill, Dawsonville, and Oakwood. After a day on the water, Chef Rob cooks while you watch the sunset from the dock.
Your Lakehouse. A Proper Dinner.
You didn't rent a lakehouse to spend the evening at a Publix in Gainesville. We bring the full private chef experience to your property — grocery run, cooking, plating, service, and a spotless kitchen when we leave. Boating, wakeboarding, fishing, wine tasting at Chateau Elan — we work around your day on the water.
- Custom menu built around your group, lakehouse kitchen, and the season
- Chef Rob personally cooks and paces the meal at your property
- Dock dinners, deck service, and sunset lakeside plating
- Full kitchen reset — you wake up to a clean lakehouse

How do I hire a private chef for my Lake Lanier lakehouse?
- Send us your lakehouse address, dates, and guest count through the booking form or text 470-785-7180. We'll confirm availability and send a custom menu proposal — usually within 24 hours.
How much does a private chef cost at Lake Lanier?
- Most lakehouse dinners start at $250 per person with a 2-guest minimum, plus a travel fee for properties more than 30 miles from Gainesville. You'll receive a clear, line-item proposal before any payment.
Do you serve vacation rentals outside of Gainesville?
- Yes. We regularly cook at rentals across Buford, Flowery Branch, Cumming, Sugar Hill, Dawsonville, Oakwood, and the Lanier Islands area.
Can I hire a private chef through Airbnb at Lake Lanier?
- Absolutely. Most of our lakehouse bookings are at Airbnbs and VRBOs. We just need the address to confirm access and travel fee — the property doesn't need to be your own.
Can you do dock dinners or outdoor lakeside service?
- Yes. Dock dinners, deck service, and sunset lakeside plating are some of our favorite Lanier setups. Share your layout and we'll design the flow.
Is a private chef worth it for a Lake Lanier trip?
- For groups of 4+ who came to be on the water, yes. You skip grocery runs, restaurant reservations, and cleanup — and you actually get to sit on the dock with your people.
What types of events do you serve at Lake Lanier?
- Lakehouse dinners, multi-night stays, birthdays, bachelorette weekends, corporate retreats, dock parties, anniversaries, and family reunions.
