Great property on the lake - spacios and game room amazing. Loved cooking on the Grren Egg and out door kitchen area. Gave a 4 instead of 5 as it stated- level walk to bay. A disabked family member was with us and had some difficulty navigating the steep incline of the yard to get to the dock. With that said, we were able to rent a boat and have it delivered. Overall, it was an amazing time and a great property.

REALLY NICE LAKE PROPERTY

Property fit our 2 families of 10 people really well. Easy walk to the lake. Really nice neighborhood & home had everything you would need. We've stayed at some before where kitchen/cooking items were lacking...this isn't the case with this property. 2 refrigerators came in handy w/having 2 families. Also - property is close to grocery stores (Publix & Kroger) & a quick/easy drive to most any Gainesville restaurant. A convenience store is within 2 minutes away. Dock was located on a bigger water/nice view...but without boat traffic coming near. Really nice set up & the owner responds very quickly to any questions.

Loved every minute!

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!!!

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!

Spacious home on the lake with lots of extras

We rented this home for our annual family vacation which included four families. We enjoyed this spacious house which had a king master bedroom with bath on the basement/terrace level. This level, which can be accessed right from the back yard, also had a home theater, pool and ping-pong table, bar and mini kitchen area. The main living area, which can be accessed from the front door as well as through the garage, also had a king master suite complete with full bath, including tub and walk in shower. Also on this level was a game room, living room, dining room, kitchen, den/office area, and laundry area. There is an extra refrigerator in the laundry area which was great for keeping drinks and ice. The outside kitchen/patio is also easily accessed from this level. We loved the gas grill and the big green egg and used these every day we ate in. The upstairs or 3rd level had 3 large bedrooms. One with a king bed, and one with a queen which shared a bathroom. The third bedroom had 3 beds and it's own bathroom which was perfect for our three teenage girls. We rented a pontoon boat from Ray and enjoyed this added lake adventure. If you don't have your own boat, I highly recommend this. Also available are water skis, large tube to pull behind the boat, noodles, kayaks, paddle board, etc. The ropes to tow were included as were the paddles. Although the walk to the dock was relatively easy for most, we had one member who has some difficulty walking down steps and over uneven surfaces, making the trek to the lake challenging, but we solved this with a simple work around. There is a park right next to the house which has a dock, so this family member simply drove to the dock (which has ample parking) and we picked them up by boat. It was a short boat ride to the house dock, enabling us all to enjoy the lake and relax on the dock. We also enjoyed exploring the area of Gainesville and the town of Helen, which is a charming Bavarian themed town with lots of shops and restaurants. Finally, our host, Ray, was responsive whenever we had a question or needed anything.

My family and I couldn’t be happier with the property! Beautiful home on a wonderful piece of property with an easy walk (no steep stairs to navigate) to the lake. The air hockey, pool table, ping pong and home movie theater were a perfect way to enjoy time together especially during the rainy days. Ray was always quick to respond to questions - couldn’t be happier - strongly recommend this property!

We loved the location and the house was great, especially the game/theatre room on the lower level. Between the lake activities and the game room there was never a dull moment for the grandkids. The kitchen was wonderful for the number of family members who joined us and the number of beds was just right. My only suggestions would be to make clear the unlocking instructions. There was a lockbox on the front door and it took us awhile to realize that that had nothing to do with unlocking the front door. Also, the back yard needs a little landscaping improvement, but other than that it was a fabulous experience.

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.

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.

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.

About the host

Hosted by Ray

I manage all Admiral's properties, which offer a unique feel everywhere we do business. I care the most about providing a clean and comfortable setting for families and friends to come together in a place they can call home during their stay and log memorable time. My greatest reward is my guests's 5-star rating and the confession to hate to leave but to return in the future.

Why they chose this property

I purchased this property on July 2, 2015 for its unique features. It is located in an upscale and secluded neighborhood of million-dollar homes. All, including Admiral's Club, perched on a stunning peninsula with what you would call a "private" park with a boat launch area. The property has elaborate and magnificent outdoor amenities such as a wood-burning fireplace, a Viking Professional built-in gas grill, a Big Green Egg charcoal grill, and plenty of storage for grilling accessories.

Unlike properties with very steep driveways due to the topography of Lake Lanier, Admiral's Club offers a flat driveway that easily lead to a 2-car attached garage. In addition, the walk to the shore is short and gently sloped (near level). The dock offers stunning views of the lake with decking to sunbathe and relax. You can dock your boat and up to 2 jet skis.

The interior is one for the eyes and the soul. There are no words to describe the kitchen as it simply is stunning. It offers 2 built-in wine coolers and stove-oven to die for. The first floor is roomy with views of the lake and a master bedroom with its own bath and gorgeous closet. The second floor has 3 bedrooms and 2 baths. And the basement is a real treat with a fireplace, a home theater with a video projector and very large screen, a gym, and master suite with full bath.

What makes this property unique

- Deep water even during drought
- Outdoor entertainment with Big Green Egg, Gas grill, and fireplace
- flat driveway
- near level and short distance to shore
- fire pit patio
- sleeps 14+
- 4 and 1/2 baths
- 5 bedrooms
- bar-kitchen in basement
- Keurig
- gym with flat screen TVs
- Home theater with large screen
- Karaoke apparatus
- Flat screen TV in every bedroom
- boat ramp within walking distance
- upscale and quiet neighborhood
- dock with 2 jet ski ports
