Our outdoor space includes a pool, hot tub, huge fire pit, full size professional volleyball court, mobile pickleball court, tether ball, gaga pit and hundreds of feet of shoreline with our own private double decker party dock with room for your boats and jet skis. Kayaks and paddle boards await your presence to go and test out the waters and boats and jet skis can be rented.
This multi million dollar property includes an 12,000 sq ft. home along with 3 cabins and a poolhouse and there is property wide high speed WIFI. There are 17 Smart TVs in every bedroom and cabin. We worked with one of Atlanta's top designers to create a 5 star luxurious experience. The main house has 10 bedrooms and 9 full baths. The main floor has 2 kitchens. One is a professional kitchen for the chef in the family, while the other services a guest suite. The great room overlooks the lake, has a large flat screen tv, and a pool/ping pong table. The dining room table seats 12 comfortably and can easily add another table and chairs. There are additional tables and chairs to seat up to 50 on the large 50x50 screened porch, which also can be enclosed and has brand new ceiling heaters to keep it warm during the cooler months.
There are three bedrooms and three full bathrooms on this floor.
The second den connects to a covered porch. Steps away is an 8 foot wide stone firepit that overlooks the pool and lake. It burns real wood, but has a gas starter for convenience. The basement has 2 BR and a full Bath. One room has 2 twin beds and the other has two king beds.
Upstairs you will find a 16 seat professional home theater with a 120 inch movie screen with the nicest theater chairs on the market. Netflix, DVDs, Amazon Prime, or Charter/Spectrum cable await you. There are 6 BR/4 BA upstairs, including a master suite with a fireplace, jacuzzi tub, and three 6 foot windows that overlook the beautiful back yard and lake. The other master suite has four built in bunks in the room beside it. The main laundry room is upstairs, but there are two other ones on the property as well.
There are three cabins, each having a separate entry, den, small fridge, microwave, and Keurig coffee maker. The garage cabin is two steps from the main house, just on the breezeway and has 2 bedrooms sharing one bathroom. It has a queen bed and four built in bunk beds. Kathy’s cabin is a one bedroom “honeymoon” cabin with a queen bed and ensuite bathroom. The barn cabin is one large bedroom with five twin beds, one queen bed and a pull out sofa downstairs, all sharing one bathroom.
The poolhouse is screened in and has a full size fridge, microwave, ice maker, bathroom and two outdoor showers. The back yard and lake views are seen from most rooms and the back yard is flat for the kids to play. There are three main outdoor decks to relax in and each one has plenty of ceiling fans to keep you cool in the summer and heaters to keep you warm in the winter. We are located in a quiet cove and surrounded by 15 acres of corps protected land, so it is very quiet. Enjoy fishing off the double deck party dock, or rent jet skis, pontoon boat, or ski boat at the nearby marina or from one of our vendors. We have two jet ski platforms and a place to tie your boat up.
Lake, pool, hot tub, home theater, pool table, gaga ball, tether ball, volleyball court, lodge setting...this is the place to host your family reunion or group get together. Gather as a group or break away into small conversations in our many sitting areas and outdoor seating. This is ideal for a smaller corporate retreat or executive gathering. Boards and leadership teams are welcome.
Please note: We do not rent cabins separately. When you rent, you get the entire facility, including the three cabins. We are not set up as a bed and breakfast, so please don't ask about renting cabins separately or renting part of the house. You get it all.
We are in a residential neighborhood with neighbors nearby. This is not the place for your loud party or events.
There are floor plans to use for planning purposes located on Ark on Lake Lanier dot com. Will consider stays of any length but primarily rent for full weeks in the summer and three night minimums during the spring and fall. More info at largelakehomesdotcom.

Summary: I recently celebrated my 40th birthday at The Ark, a luxury vacation rental located on the beautiful Lake Lanier in Georgia, USA. The house is spacious and can accommodate up to 45 guests with its 14 bedrooms and 12 bathrooms. We had 30+ adults and it didn't feel cramped at all. All of the spaces in the house were both spacious and cozy which is hard to do! The property is equipped with a variety of indoor and outdoor activities such as pool table, table tennis, foosball, basketball, and volleyball. The outdoor seating areas are covered and heated, which is perfect for enjoying the beautiful surroundings even in cold weather. Jackie and Joycelyn were extremely helpful and filled the house with food and snacks. Jackie and her also went above and beyond accommodating for our dietary needs. The food was amazing!!! The property manager, Julie, had the house beautifully decorated and gave us a nice orientation when we arrived. We felt very welcome and comfortable throughout our stay. Overall, I had an amazing experience at The Ark. The house was perfect for my large group of friends and family. I would definitely recommend it to others looking for a great place to stay. Thank you to the staff at The Ark for making my birthday celebration unforgettable!

Summary: Extended family from all over the country came to experience Lake Lanier for the first time. The property was easy to get to for all, close to grocery shopping etc, and to the quaint town square of Gainesville. We enjoyed all the amenities The Ark has to offer. Had a good time on the lake, which is in a quiet lower-key area of the water. This made it easy and safe for kids to ride on jet skis and go tubing. Chef Jackie created an amazing dinner for us one night! Highly recommend her culinary delights! We had a few issues with the property, but Julie was very responsive to all our questions and needs. The property had a nice mix of private spaces and group hang out areas. I'd definitely recommend for a large family vacation or reunion!

Summary: Our company's retreat at The Ark was a success from start to finish. Planning was very convenient, with lots of helpful communication before we arrived and on the ground assistance once we got there. With both large common areas and plenty of separate spaces, our group of 21 had more than enough room to spread out, play games, hold meetings, and eat. There was plenty to do and the group never got bored. Everyone called it our best retreat ever, we would happily return.

Summary: I can NOT say enough great things about this property! We had a group of about 35 and is absolutely PERFECT! The layout of the property is ideal because it allows people to spread out, but there's also great "gathering spots" where everyone can hang out. We prepared all of our meals in the HUGE kitchen and there are THREE full-size refrigerators at your disposal. As far as activities, we played billiards, watched movies in the theater, played ping pong, volleyball, frisbee, and swam in the hot tub. We love EVERYTHING about this place and the owner is SUPER easy to work with and the nicest guy. Definitely planning to take our crew back!!!

Summary: We had a wonderful time at the Ark. We were with a group of 40 and there was plenty to do (even though the weather was cold) for kids and adults alike. The bedrooms were all very nice and not on top of each other so there was privacy, with a bath connecting to each bedroom. The kitchen was huge - 3 refrigerators, 3 ovens, more than enough for a large group. A beautiful view of the lake - what more could you want?

Summary: This is the perfect place for any type of getaway. Between the lake, hot tub, pool, in-ground trampoline, foosball table, pool/ping pong table, what more could you ask for? There are plenty of sleeping areas that are equipped with clean restrooms and showers. The dining and lounging areas can hold many guests. Its got everything you need. It was very beautiful and CANNOT wait to go back. I would definitely recommend.

Summary: Our annual church retreat at The Ark is always such a special time. The house can accommodate everyone comfortably in our large group and is perfect for families. It allows everyone space to come together and space to get away. Everything you need is there, from the well-equipped kitchen to the pool table to the theater room to the hot tub to the dock on the lake. The house and grounds are just beautiful.
