About this property

Luxury Lakeside Mansion with Basketball Court and Indoor Pool

This house offers a unique layout and style; a flashback to the movies and the era of Al Capone can still be felt in this updated 80's 80s-style home.

When not out on the two-story dock, enjoying the sunset, or boating on the lake, you can spend time swimming in the private indoor pool, hanging out around the fire pit on the back patio, playing basketball on the full-size court, or relaxing in the upstairs hot tub. We have enjoyed watching the deer graze nearby from the two balconies on many occasions.

The house is right down the road from Port Royale Marina, a high-end boatyard offering all kinds of watercraft for rent and even a delicious bite to eat at the local favorite, Pelican Pete's restaurant. You can also dock your boat at our private dock.

There are plenty of areas for the whole family to gather and for the children to hang out.
The house offers 6 bedrooms, 5 full baths, and 2 half baths. The 3 seating areas and 2 dining areas provide plenty of room for family meals and group activities. The 2 bunk rooms are very large, allowing children to spread out and enjoy the space.

The home offers a full kitchen on each floor, making it easy to grab a snack for a day out on the lake or prepare full meals without much effort. Each kitchen is equipped with full amenities and is great for groups and family gatherings with the kids.

-The indoor pool can be heated. Please inquire in advance to add this to your reservation. The fee is $50 per day.
-Please note that all guests must be on your reservation. We do not allow parties or events at the house.
-We allow a maximum of 6 cars per reservation.

Fabulous house on Lake Lanier

Pictures don’t do it Justice. So much room for our family of ten with short downhill walk to a very nice dock. Kids loved the basketball Court & inside pool. If we had one suggestion it would be more towels for each bathroom.

Great house for multi-generational gathering!

We had a great stay. With ages ranging from 2 years old to 78 years old, there was something for everyone. There was plenty of room to spread out, the large dining room table was great for meals, and the pool, basketball court, and lake were brilliant amenities. Yes, it is an older property and so not everything is perfect (upstairs ovens are small, handle came off of bathroom sink), but nothing was a big deal. The host was incredibly responsive and we had a great time!

Beautiful home with lots of space

We took our three young kids to Lake Lanier for a quick Spring Break getaway. This home was beautiful and very spacious. There are several bedrooms and an open layout. The pool is small, but indoors, so our kids did not mind the cooler temperatures. There are kitchens on two levels and bathrooms everywhere! The backyard is open and there is a direct trail to the lake. Definitely recommend the proprty for family vacations.

Spending too much time with "Richard" trying to get AND keep pool heated!

Pool was not heated (fully) until the day before leaving. I should add the property was nice. TOO many calls and texts to Richard to repair pool heat. I will be requesting a refund for payment for pool heat AND significant inconvenience!!

Great house, great location

We had a great time at this property. We were three families with a total of 7 kids. The house gave us plenty of space and was right on the water. A few things I would point out, on the lower level where the rooms with the bunk beds are, the only bathrooms with showers are in the bedrooms with the queen beds, there are no bathrooms in the bunk bedrooms. And the bathroom in the hallway is a half bath and does not have a shower. Also, one of the bunk bedrooms does not have a door, and has a glass door leading to the outside which does not have window covering... these two combined meant a real lack of privacy. The owner was a pleasure to deal with but should update some of the pictures. The basketball courts were not in the. best condition, one was broken and unable to be raised, there was no umbrella on the table on the dock... all small things but we just felt the pictures should properly represent the property. Again, we enjoyed our stay but think the pictures and description should be updated.

Beautiful but Flawed

Pros: plenty of room, beautiful location. Cons: The house was hazardous for anyone with visual or mobility impairments. There was a sunken living room, master bedroom bed was on a high platform, and there was a steep spiral staircase to get from one level to the other. You are paying top dollar for this place and the indoor pool is cold because it is in air conditioning. They wanted a substantial amount of money to heat it. Really? A basketball court is advertised., but there was no basketball. It was replaced when I complained., but shouldn't that have been checked before arrival? The place is sterile, there are no games or flotation devices. I bought life vests so we could take the children in the lake. The place would benefit from having light switches and kitchen drawers labeled. Manuals for the appliances would also be helpful. When the stove top didn't work, it was an easy fix., but we had to contact the owner to discover it. There was no hot water in one of the upstairs bedrooms after the dishwasher was run. The ceiling was falling down in one of the bunkrooms.

Good house for groups, but needs a few improvements

Overall, the property is great for groups. Lots of rooms and bathrooms with room for entertaining on all levels of the house. Plenty of fridge space and general storage. The house was an amazing spectacle overall - very true to the pictures. The dock at the lake is enjoyable, but a bit perilous to get to (heads up if you are looking to get elderly/disabled to the dock). We were a bit disappointed at the overall cleanliness of the house and communication. The house was clean on the basic level (clean sheets, towels, kitchen), but overall needed a deep scrub. (And there were only 6 forks in the whole house, which is odd since the listing says accommodates 10 people.) When we arrived at the property we were also unable to access the house using the remote check in code because there was a separate lock on the door that prevented us from getting in. I reached out several times to the host, but did not receive a response until 4am EST (12 hours after check in). We were thankfully able to access the property due to a back door being mistakenly unlocked, but I hate thinking about the situation we would have been in had this not been in the case. Reviewing the contact information prior to having it sent out to ensure it is 100% accurate would be helpful and prevent this situation in the future.

Big house, great location on the lake, missed some marks

I want to be fair with this review. We had a wonderful time. The owner was lovely to work with & responsive. The house is large & decorated nicely, with great spaces for groups to divide up. We had a crew downstairs, 2 other groups at the 2 large tables playing games, & another off to the side on a comfy couch. The kitchen has a great island, lots of cabinets & drawers, & a good size refrigerator. There is a smaller refrigerator downstairs. We used the upstairs refrigerator for food & the downstairs for drinks. The dock was perfect: large, with great laying out space & lots of shade. It is an easy walk from the house to the dock. The misses: The kitchen is not set up for people who want to cook for a group. There were only 11 forks, one of which was a salad fork. Thankfully, I brought serving dishes, as there was only 1. The oven needs to be recalibrated, and the warming drawer doesn't work. The house is not good for young children or people with mobility issues. The stairs going downstairs are steep, winding,& small. The air conditioner is too small for a house. During the day it was hot on the main level. Thank goodness the main Master had its own unit. Downstairs was better. Don't plan on sleeping late. Both masters had windows that looked onto the lake, but 1 master had sheer blinds & a thin drape. We were up at 6 a.m. with the sun. The pool is a small, indoor lap pool. An outdoor pool would be better, Lovely house that needs work.

Amazing Rental! Must see for yourself!!

We really enjoyed our stay! Check in was smooth and the neighbors were great! It’s easy to miss your entrance, but once on the property you won’t be disappointed! The car limit was a pain because we were flying in from different regions and with the airport so far, each couple had a car. We parked off site although there was space for 2 additional cars. The property was pretty clean. It’s secluded therefore there were occasional bugs inside, but nothing unmanageable. The owner was highly responsive and provided all we needed. The property itself is the jewel! The pictures do it NO justice! The kitchen wasn’t as “clean” as home but a quick wipe down and sanitizing did the trick. The master bedroom was beyond amazing and our group had ample space for game night, cooking out and a formal dinner and formal brunch. Sitting out on the dock was nice as well. There was only 1 trash can so it was a pain taking trash offsite to toss out being as though there was a limit on trash, but we made it work. I’m happy that I brought my own cookware because it was limited for someone who actually cooks especially with 16 people. The two kitchens made it much easier! There was accessibility to food no matter where you were in the hike! The real bonus was the bar area and the fact that there were more than enough bathrooms! There is nothing that I would change! The basketball court was perfect for the guys to shoot around and the pool was very relaxing! The price was steep, but I understand the reasoning now was to make sure the property was well taken care of by renters! Everyone was so impressed with the property that we have decided to rent again soon!

Truly an amazing and unique home!

My wife and two young boys wanted to wind-down (with just the four of us) right after a larger family gathering in the Smokey Mountains on the Tennessee side. We are not familiar with the area, but had heard that there is a large lake outside of Atlanta within a few hours of the Smokies (also heard that it may be the lake where they filmed the Netflix show Ozark). So we researched places on Lake Lanier. We had some requirements - we needed to be on the lake with a dock because the kids like to fish and kayak, and we wanted to make sure that there was enough for the kids to do so that my wife and I could spend time reading and generally doing nothing. We could not have found a more perfect place. Between the easy, private access to the lake (with a great two-level dock), the basketball court, the large yard, and the indoor swimming pool, the kids were occupied and we didn’t have to take them anywhere. The house was clean, well furnished, comfortable, and a ton of fun just to explore. A very unique design indeed - and situated perfectly on a very quiet part of the lake. It was the middle of August and we hardly saw anyone on the lake when kayaking around and exploring the coves. But most importantly, Kirti was a great host. When booking VRBOs, especially in areas you are not familiar with, communication with the owner is paramount. Kirti was always quick to respond to any questions, concerns, etc., and always helpful. Ever since COVID, all we have been doing is renting VRBOs in different places so that we can have a change of scenery when working from home and to keep the kids entertained as all of our overseas trips and summer camps were cancelled. So we have been doing this a lot since March and I have to say that this experience was among the best! Thanks Kirti - if we are ever back down that way, we will be renting your beautiful house again!
