The family enjoyed our stay but we did have issues that I should have considered beforehand. The house is 5 levels and sits up on the side of a mountain. To get from the main level to the wonderful footing dock is 117 steps. So it is not for people who have mobility issues or for families with small children. The kitchen is very well stocked so you will not have any issues cooking whatever you want. There was an issue of the BBQ grill outside deck main level. Cooking on it PV frate huge flames because the top did not fully close so we burnt our meal one night and didn’t use it again. The main levek deck was our family’s favorite. The living room on the main level was huge and quite comfortable for all. The top master bedroom has a serious air conditioning issue where it would cut off after 2 hours. Handyman came with NO TOOLS and didn’t fix it. Many of the light fixtures were burned out. Limiting a guest to a small amount of garbage in a large house was really far fetch. We had to be creative in our waste products. The location is relatively close to Dawsonville where nothing you need will be found. Dahlonega is a short trip as well as Helen.We had a hard time finding a real beach where the little ones could get in. One feels like you are deep in the mountains at the top of the tall trees. Next family vacation I will be more diligent about steps and how far it is to the water.it just wasn’t the right house for us but for adults and teens , it would be great.

Great House for a group. Plenty of gathering space for everyone both inside and out. The views over the water were great this time of year and I can imagine having lots of fun out there in the summer. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Great vogues for a group. As pictured and described.

We had the best family vacation at this house. Perfect for our large group. They did have lots of levels in the house and many stairs to the dock. Our 83 year old mother was still able to join us several of the days. We are hoping to stay again soon. Response time from owner was fantastic with questions.

This house was very accommodating for our family of 9. The large porches were a great gathering place. Quite a few steps to get to the boat dock, but once down there it was a very nice place to hang out, swim and dock our 26’ boat. Loved the use of the kyacks.

Great experience. Beautiful house overlooking Lake Lanier. Plenty of extra fun activities (pool table, ping-ping, foosball table).

Great house with plenty of space for all. The stairs were a great way for all of us to get our daily workouts - so no complaints from us! Young adults enjoyed the pool and foosball tables, and all of us enjoyed the dock, the dock's sun deck provided the ladies a nice space for afternoon cocktails. House is in close proximity to grocery stores, restaurants, outlets, wineries and the towns of Dahlonega, Helen, and Babyland General in Cleveland for the littles to see the birthplace of the Cabbage Patch kids! Thank you Ray for a great 10 days!

It is a beautiful place with 35 steps in the house and 80 Steps down to the dock. Unfortunately this was a was a little too much for some of the members of my party. The view of the lake is blocked by the trees. Nice location close to Helen Georgia And white water rafting.

We really enjoyed our stay at this property, there is plenty of room for a large crowd with ample room to gather or for privacy. The area on the lake was beautiful with lots of scenic views. Owner was very responsive to any needs or issues we had. Weather was glorious!

This is a beautiful property complete with everything you could possibly need. It is spread out over 4 floors so is perfect for those who would like to have adult areas and kid areas. It was so nice to have the 2 kayaks and a paddle board included with the rental of the house. I didn’t think we would be able to use them in April, but the weather was in the high 70s and the young adults managed to enjoy them without getting wet. We also rented a pontoon boat from Ray one day of our trip and enjoyed a beautiful day exploring the lake and also enjoyed being pulled behind the boat(once again without getting too wet). My husband had knee replacement surgery in December and my daughter has a stress fracture in her foot, so the stairs were a bit of a challenge, but we were able to drive to a public dock that had no stairs and get picked up by the boat from there. I had read the reviews, so I was aware of the 85 stairs to the dock. Going down was not so bad, but getting back up was a killer for those that were out of shape😬

The home was honestly better than I expected! Very well equipped with anything we could possibly needed. We had 8 kids/teens & 6 adults. We had plenty of space to spread out for privacy, but also many different areas for us to all come together. Definitely somewhere I would recommend staying! There are a lot of stairs in the home, but with two good size bedrooms on the main floor, even those with physical limitations would have a place that was easily accessible. The owner was great in communicating with us before our arrival & during our stay.

Ample space, killer views, very private, nice!

We had a beautiful weekend at this wonderful house! It was perfect for everyone!

Great people to rent from. They went out of their way to get us a paddle for the paddle board, when we realized it was lost, so the kids could use it! Plenty of room for all 12 of us. We loved the pool and ping pong table. Driveway was very steep. We would definitely go back.

The Admiral's Mountain Lake Chalet was perfect for our group of 14. Ages ranged from 30 to 80 years old. The steps were a challenge for some, but we managed quite well as the younger ones helped the older ones. We were all here for a meeting on Sunday and an excursion to Brasstown Bald on Saturday so the location was perfect for us. Everything we needed was available as stated in the lease agreement so we had no problems cooking meals for the group or individual meals otherwise. Overall a great retreat place. The younger ones enjoyed the kayaks in our free time.

The pictures do not do this property justice! The home is well appointed, clean and very comfortable. We really enjoyed the views and it was perfect for our family of 12.

Some of the highlights for our stay were the large deck which opened to the Family room on the main floor. Open Kitchen and large table for eating and family games. We used the dock. Kids really enjoyed the ping pong table and bunkbeds. It rained while we were there the entire time so not able to leverage the boat we wanted to rent. However even being rained out house provided amble activities for us to take part in.

Great location that is close to shopping and wineries. Right on Lake Lanier. There are a lot of stair to the dock, so you'll get a good cardio workout. :) Home is stocked with most cooking supplies you'll need.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Lakehouse. The house accommodated our group comfortably and was very clean. Ray was a good host and we look forward to booking again in the future.

First of all great house! Plenty of room for lots of guests. Was just the 6 of us so we each had our own floor to ourselves. Biggest critique at all would be the spider webs outside which is a product of where you are and can’t really be helped which we understand. Then the steps down to the dock from the house are steep and plentiful. Wouldn’t stop us again from staying expect if we had someone more handicapped in some way. They would never be able to get down there. Dock is also great! Floats and such to play with. Ray is a great communicator. Again, would stay here!

Lots of space, beautiful view, great place for a large group!!! Owner was very easy to work with!
