Relax in upscale style in this gated European estate on deep water. This luxurious three level home with greater than 9000 sq feet of living space provides beautiful lake vistas from most every room. The main level is truly stunning. From the moment you enter the front two story foyer, the well appointed formal living room with gas fireplace will simultaneously invite you in and take your breath away. If you can pry yourself past this room, next door you find the spacious open family room with bountiful seating, flat screen HDTV, gaming table, and walls of lake-view windows. This level also contains the fully loaded gourmet stainless and granite professional kitchen with eating space for 20 at your choice of a formal dining room, casual dining room, kitchen bar and family room table.

Two spacious bedrooms with private baths are just down the hallway on this main level.
The custom hand forged wrought iron curved staircase leads you to the garden level. Here there is a second fully outfitted stainless kitchen to make two or more family stays easier.

The nautical themed great-room area with adjacent game room provides ample seating for family gatherings and the kitchen bar provides additional space for eating and entertaining. Through the french doors, the pool and patio area await. The full sized non-deep free form pool is safe for all swimmers. If you prefer a break from the fun in the sun, try your luck at ping pong, foosball, Xbox 360, cards at the two gaming tables, or the many board games provided in the gaming areas.
Steps take you down to the gradually sloping 200 foot trail to the double slip covered boat dock. Here views of mountains, lake, fish & wildlife abound.

Sincerely,
Harold and Tina

When searching for a spot for our retreat, the mission was to find an expansive property which could accommodate our group’s size, while at the same time exude elegance, cleanliness, and a place for relaxation. This breath-taking lakefront property exceeded all of our expectations! We knew we came to the right place when the winding driveway allowed all of us to park our cars without any hassles. Then upon entering what looked like a castle, all of us were in awe as we looked at the beautifully decorated rooms, unending spiral staircase, and what would be our favorite gathering spot…the state of the art kitchen! Our entire party was able to sleep comfortably in the beds and cots that were provided. The house was so spacious that we were able to gather on the main level or in the Master Suite for whole group socialization; however we also enjoyed being able to retreat to our own designated spaces when we wanted to read, watch television, or just relax. The furniture, accent pieces, and how the windows opened up to the lake, all added to the elegance and beautiful atmosphere of the house. Every element of the property was thoroughly cleaned and for the few days we were there we felt comfortable enough to call this place our “home away from home”. I would definitely love to visit again and would recommend this place to anyone who doesn’t mind living like a king or queen for a few days!Recommended for: Families with teenagers, romantic getaway, girls getaway.
Owner response: Thank you for your kind words. We have to agree that Chateau Lanier is truly is a spectacular estate that allows you to feel like royalty.

I secured Chateau Lanier for a Women's Retreat and it was the best decision of my life. I had initially booked for May 2012 and had to reschedule for April 2013. The owner was accommodating and work with me to reschedule. The day of the Retreat, he had the home immaculate and prepared for our arrival. The home was spacious and inviting! My guests was so impressed with the home and all of the amenities and upgrades. There was plenty of space and bathrooms for 18 women to move around and enjoy themselves. You can get lost in this home. The view of the lake from the home is impressive and the proximity to the lake is perfect. I would recommend this home as I had a great experience.Recommended for: Families with teenagers, romantic getaway, girls getaway.
Owner response: We work extremely hard to provide the very best experience for all our guests. So glad to hear you had a wonderful time!

What a stay! We recently had a group of 23 stay at the Chateau Lanier, and had an amazing time. The view: beautiful! The house: beautiful! Furnishings and linens: beautiful and luxurious. Plenty of things to do at Chateau Lanier, and lots of space to do it. Our large group could spread out and we never felt as if we were on top of each other. So many great restaurants and shopping are just short drives away. Great location! Thank you Harold for letting us stay in your home and thank you for the memories that will last a lifetime.Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, tourists without a car, age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway.

We had a great time over New Year's at Chateau Lanier. The house was very large, was well equipped, and everything was in working order. The rooms are large, spread out, and with the layout this house is the perfect place for multiple families to visit and enjoy. The amenities were better than expected. We would recommend this house to anyone considering renting a house on Lake Lanier, especially if multiple families or a very large family is involved.Recommended for: Families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway.

My family stayed at this beautiful home over the Thanksgiving holiday. It truly exceeded our expectations! Harold was wonderful to work with. He met us at the house and showed us everything we needed to know about the house and the area. The special basket filled with goodies and wine was a nice surprise. The kitchen was beautiful and very well equipped. All the beds were comfy and the decor was tasteful. The views are amazing! We rented a pontoon boat and took the whole family out several times a day. The Lake is just breathtaking!!! Highly recommend this house and the owners were a delight to work with!Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway.

We recently had a fantastic stay at Chateau Lanier. This really is a great place. We especially enjoyed the open floor plan which is tastefully decorated. Truly a top notch home. The wrought iron entry gate and stairways were quite unique and beautiful. Really loved the gourmet kitchen which was exceptional and well stocked. The views and access of the lake were perfect! We are looking forward to our next stay.Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, tourists without a car, age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.

My Family (yes all 16 of us) recently stayed at this property for a long weekend in October. The house was absolutely majestic! Harold met us at the property at our exact scheduled time & gave us early arrivals a tour of the Mansion..I have traveled extensively and stayed in many 5 star Resorts..This Property is a 6 Star..There was ample room for everyone to sleep & get ready for my Nieces Big Day at Lake Lanier..The views off the Balconys were amazing as we sipped our coffee on the patio and watched the sun come up..Cooking for 16 is not an easy task but the size of the Kitchen allowed us all to pitch in and help and sit in the dinning & living room to converse over our down time..I can't forget to mention that on our first nite in the house we had a Family Tournament of Ping Pong & Foos Ball..What a great place for Kids ( our youngest was 19) & Grown Up Kids (Adults & Retirees) to Relax and Enjoy! I would highly suggest this property for any activites you have planned in the Atlanta area..From Weddings, Vacations, Family Reunions or just a quiet get away for the weekend! We Will Be Back!!! Thanks Harold for a great & smoothe Rental!Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, tourists without a car, age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.

We recently had an absolutely wonderful stay at Chateau Lanier. This home is really a special place. The owners have gone out of their way to assure that their guests have it all, and that is exactly how we felt. The two kitchens were better stocked that even my own kitchen at home. There was the refrigerator, the wine cooler, the double oven, the toaster, the toaster oven, the blender, the milkshake maker, three coffee makers, a comercial cook top... I could go on and that was just one of the kitchens!! The home is huge and at first I felt like I needed a map to just navigate inside the place. Each of the bedrooms had their own fun motif and were all quite spacious. The beds themselves were very comfortable. Linnens were high quality with plenty of everything. It was great having all the different living spaces such as the two game rooms, the two family rooms, and the two separate porches over looking the pool and the lake. Different members of our group could gather and do their own thing without disturbing one and other. One very important thing for us was that our elderly family members be able to get down to the lake. Fortuantely the walk to the lake was a gradually sloping path that all of us could negotiate without any difficulty. It was great seeing my elderly parents fishing off the dock. Just writing this review makes me want to go back there right now. My husband is promising me next year!! :-)Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.
Owner response: Wow! Thanks for your kind review. Make sure your husband comes through and gets you back to Chateau Lanier next year. You may want to book with us during the months of January through March when our rates are the lowest.

Our family recently had a wonderful stay at Chateau Lanier. I must say this really is an incredible estate. Harold and Tina keep this place in immaculate condition. The furnishings and artwork are top notch. We had been impressed with the photos we saw on VRBO, but they really do not do the place justice. The views of Lake Lanier from the home are absolutely wonderful. Much of our time was spent just relaxing outside sipping our beverage of choice, and taking in the great scenery. We also enjoyed the fishing right off the private dock. But our stay at Chateau Lanier ended much too soon. After feeling so pampered there, we just did not want to leave. So we will definitely be back soon!! Thanks again Harold and Tina!!Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, tourists without a car, age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.
Owner response: Very rewarding to read your review and hear you had a great time. Call or email us and we'll get you booked for another Chateau Lanier vacation.

Our family of 14 arrived at Chateau Lanier for a 1 week stay in August and we were delighted with our choice of vacation homes. The home was spacious, clean and fully stocked with dishes, coffee makers, bath towels and everything that we needed.. There was even pool toys available for us to use. The walk to the lake was a little steep, but our 87 year old mother made the walk 4 times and said that "it was not so hard". We appreciate the owners prompt return of phone calls and their attention to detail!!! Thank you so much for making our summer family gathering a marvelous experience.Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children.
