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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

Great home with everything you need - from cooking, relaxing, hanging - nice kitchen w 2 fridges, several eating and hanging places. Nice deck and porch as well as a great basement.

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.

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

- Keurig
- gym with flat screen TVs
- Home theater with large screen
- Karaoke apparatus
- Flat screen TV in every bedroom
