Family Fun with a side of turkey
We rented the house the week of thanksgiving. Was great to have the view of the lake; especially in the morning…sunrise, lake, birds chirping, and coffee. The house was as promised the host was amazing to work with! We enjoyed walking down to the lake, the location to shopping, and the games / theater in the basement.

Couples Trips
The place is beautiful and we enjoyed ourselves.However, the description of th property was misleading. One of the first things we try to do ensure that that each couple has their own bathroom in their room. That wasn’t the case. We have some visitors from the outside and we didn’t have any pesticides spray to kill them. It wasn’t enough towels. Overall, we had a wonderful trip and the backyard down to the lake is beautiful.

Lake Fun
We stayed at the lake house for 7 nights with family ranging from 1-70 years of age. We had a fabulous time. We spent most of the time on the lake. We rented 2 jet skis which were so much fun, and some extra kayaks which were also a hit. The location was not busy. It felt like we had the lake to ourselves most of the time. The house was great. The kids loved the game room/ theater. There was plenty of space and sleeping areas for our big group. Thanks, Ray!

Family Time
House is spacious and comfortable. Air hockey and ping pong competitions were a daily event for this group. 4 star rating is only because no bathroom in the house is actually wheelchair accessible. That will not be an issue for most vacationers so you can consider this home an excellent choice for family time. Owner is easily accessible by text and prompt to respond. Enjoyed our stay very much.

Family Reunion at the Lake!
10 adults ranging in age from 83 to 57 enjoyed a wonderful week at the Admiral's Club at Lake Lanier! The home was nicely appointed with multiple refrigerators/freezers/coffee stations and the kitchen had a very large island where we could gather while some did prep work and others cooked. The outdoor grills were used most days and we appreciated the wood and gas being provided. Out door space had plenty of seating on multi-levels and the fire pit, while pretty warm in July was put to use one evening on a just beautiful clear night. The dock became a late evening gathering spot as the seniors sat in chairs (we brought) while we had drinks and snacks as some used the kayaks and SUPs (we rented additional kayaks and the SUPs). The game room downstairs was so much fun with foosball/air hockey and pool all being used simultaneously - never got to pingpong much to our chagrin but maybe next time! We saw deer every day while on the lake and most days in the back yard or around the neighborhood while on our walks. There are grocery stores nearby and we made a Costco run about an hour out to stock up on groceries before we got to the house. Parking was plentiful. We ended up renting a boat and jet ski's off site just because we were worried about the weather and wanted to book closer to the week we were renting. All in all a great time at the Admirals Club and Ray was an excellent Host-very prompt in his replies and a pleasure to rent from. Thanks Ray!!

Best location on Lake Lanier
Each summer my family and I pick different lake houses to rent for a week. We were a little nervous booking so close to the July 4th weekend thinking boat traffic would be heavy. What a pleasant surprise to learn that this is the quiet part of the lake! We felt like we had the lake to ourselves whether wakeboarding/tubing with the teens or slow nightly sunset cruises with the adults. Always quiet and peaceful no matter the time on the lake. Ray was a pleasure to work with. He was readily available to answer any questions; always responding within minutes. The house was immaculate and we had everything we could possibly need. It is an older home, but he has done a remarkable job updating it. The highlight was the downstairs game room. Once the teens were inside, we never saw them unless they needed food! They enjoyed hooking up their video games or watching action movies on the projector. As a bonus, the house has the best sound proofing of any we have been in. We never once heard the teen boys whoop and holler during their gaming sessions that often go until 3:00 AM! The house is the perfect size for multiple families. We could spread out if needed (to get work done) or be together working on a puzzle in the sunroom or sitting on the porch with a glass of wine. Admittedly, we never turned on the TV in the den, but we did appreciate all the bedrooms having a TV for those that like to nod off to a show. We took advantage of the two kayaks and the paddleboard that were available to use. There were also plenty of beach towels for guests to use. Grocery stores, gas stations, restaurants are all a short ten minute drive away. I highly recommend this property for your lake vacation. You wont be disappointed.

Good house on quiet part of Lake Lanier
We had a large group that included 4 families with teenagers through toddlers that stayed over Memorial Day. The house is just as pictured and was very clean and the owner, Ray, was very easy to work with. He was very responsive when we had an issue with an appliance. There was plenty of room to spread out and all the games in the basement were a huge hit with the kids and parents too. The house is located on the very north end of Lake Lanier which is great because it is quiet with not a lot of boat traffic. The kids enjoyed jumping off the dock and once we cleaned up the sand by the shore they were able to play in the shallow water. The biggest negative to the house was the lack of lake view. I enjoy a house where I can tell that I am at the lake, enjoy seeing the water and like to sit outside and enjoy the surroundings. Even from the patio of the house the water is blocked by trees. And when you are inside the house you can't see outside at all unless you are in the "poker room". There aren't any other windows on the back of the house so it is very dark inside. There is also a severe lack of outdoor sitting. There were only a few plastic chairs around the fire pit and one collapsed when a guest tried to sit in it. And there is no seating on the dock at all. We had to drag chairs from the patio down to the dock so we had a place to sit while the kids swam. Another thing our family noted was how uncomfortable the beds are. I don't think any of us had a good night sleep while we were there. Despite the few negatives I would recommend this house.

Lake Lanier Get Together
Four long term friends and spouses rented this house on Lake Lanier. Ray was an awesome host. He was a nice guy and very responsive to our needs. The house easily accommodated us. The dishwater, utensils, pots, pans etc were ample for our group. The two refrigerator-freezers helped, as did the washer and dryer. All electrical equipment worked well. The entertainment room was great, especially with the rain we had for a few days. Table tennis, pool table, air hockey, etc kept us busy. We rented his pontoon boat which was in great shape. Ray also provided paddle boards and kayaks. I would recommend this house for family and friend get together. It’s helpful when the owner lives nearby and can assist you as needed

A Slice of Lake Lanier Paradise
We were excited about the property when we saw pictures, but when we arrived, we were blown away. Ray's property exceeded all expectations. The house was clean, the yard was beautiful, and the the walk to the dock was just long enough to feel like an adventure. Ray is an excellent host. He was extremely accomodating without being overbearing, and provided us with everything we needed, from extra air mattresses to everything we needed to grill out in the evenings. He even mailed us the boots that we left in his garage!! The house itself was extraordinary. We had the privelege of being there for Masters weekend, and after watching the tournament on the projector downstairs while playing pool and air hockey, I'm not sure that I could do it any other way. I can't praise this rental enough. The only hesitation I have in giving such a glowing review is that it may hurt my chances of landing this place next year!!! Thanks for a wonderful weekend Ray!

Ray is an exemplary host; the house was clean and had tons of room; the property location on Lake Lanier was dreamy. Renting the pontoon boat was a real thrill for both of our families. I highly recommend any home that Ray is listing. It's obvious that he cares deeply about making sure that you have the perfect family vacation. Also - I highly recommend hiring Ray's contact for an absolutely fabulous tea party!!!

Wonderful stay on Lake Lanier
The rental exceeded our expectations. The house is spacious and decked out with all the things to make for a fun vacation. Our family had a great time with the pool table, foosball, and air hockey tables -- all in good condition. We also enjoyed watching movies on the projection screen TV while sitting in the recliners and making S'mores in the fire pit. The house is in a great location with a private dock in a quiet cove. Ray provided a paddle board and kayak free of charge. We also rented Ray's pontoon boat and enjoyed fishing and boating. The boat is in very good condition. We enjoyed our stay so much that we wanted to book the house for a couple of weeks this summer, but sadly this gem is almost fully booked for summer. I would definitely rent this house or another rental from Ray again.
