Description

Georgia’s Luxury Lakeside Retreat Destination
Welcome aboard the Ark on Lake Lanier — a private luxury lakefront estate designed for unforgettable family gatherings, executive retreats, ministry retreats, corporate getaways, and meaningful time together.
 
Nestled along the shores of beautiful Lake Lanier in Gainesville, Georgia, the Ark offers stunning lake views, world-class amenities, expansive gathering spaces, and a one-of-a-kind experience unlike traditional vacation homes or resorts. This is more than a stay — it is a destination where people reconnect, celebrate, rest, and create lifelong memories together.
 
The Ark is rented exclusively to one group at a time, giving your guests complete privacy across approximately 12,000 square feet of living space situated on five beautiful acres. The estate includes the main house, private cabins, and a pool house, all thoughtfully designed to provide both spacious gathering areas and quiet places to retreat and relax.
 
With 13 bedrooms and 14 bathrooms, the Ark comfortably sleeps 27+ guests and is ideal for multi-family vacations, leadership retreats, board meetings, church gatherings, executive planning sessions, and special celebrations.
 
Over the years, countless hours, vision, and investment have gone into creating this luxury lakefront experience. Most recently, the Ark completed more than one million dollars in renovations and enhancements, including remodeled bathrooms, updated king suites, refreshed interiors, luxury furnishings, upgraded outdoor spaces, and exciting new guest amenities throughout the estate.
 
Wake up to breathtaking lake views and spend your days enjoying everything the Ark has to offer.
 
Relax by the heated pool and spa. Gather around the massive lakeside firepit beneath the stars. Enjoy friendly competition throughout the estate with volleyball, cornhole, shuffleboard, ping pong, foosball, and our newly opened pickleball courts. Spend time fishing or relaxing from the private two-tier party dock, launch kayaks and paddleboards onto the water, or rent boats and jet skis nearby for a full Lake Lanier adventure.
 
Inside the estate, guests enjoy a chef-inspired kitchen, multiple gathering spaces, property-wide high-speed WiFi, numerous Smart TVs, and a luxurious 16-seat theater room perfect for movies, sports, or evening entertainment. Large porches, outdoor seating areas, and peaceful lakefront views create countless places for conversation, connection, and rest.
 
The Ark was intentionally designed to bring people together while still offering room to spread out. Whether enjoying meals together on the screened porch, relaxing by the water, hosting team meetings, or simply enjoying a quiet morning overlooking the lake, every part of the property was created to foster meaningful experiences.
 
Located just minutes from historic downtown Gainesville, guests are also close to wineries, hiking trails, golf courses, marinas, restaurants, shopping, and local entertainment — while still feeling worlds away in the peace and privacy of the lake.
 
Unlike crowded resorts or traditional event venues, the Ark offers something increasingly rare: a fully private luxury destination experience where your entire group stays together in one extraordinary setting.
 
No shared spaces.
No crowds.
Just your people, your memories, and your time together.
Note : There is one chef’s kitchen available. We have recently completed a million-dollar renovation and now feature two brand-new pickleball courts.

This property is outstanding!

This property is outstanding! The photos are helpful but it is actually better in person. Every detail has been thought of and Jackie is there to provide any special request. The size and privacy per room is very nice. The setting is breathtaking. I could go on and on... It is fabulous. The entire experience from booking to check out was as smooth as it gets. Although, it was hard to leave because we had so much fun! I highly recommend!

Great place to stay, I felt a little price

Great place to stay, I felt a little price, but I believe maybe fair as the only house in the area with that many rooms, and well prepared. We have a great time, we didn't used most of the facility as was raining the whole time, but I didn't miss anything. Jackie did a good job making sure we were well supported. Only suggestions are to have a list of utensils in the counters and drawers, as it has everything but sometimes takes time to find it. I will be back as soon I have my team building again.

Wow. Wow. Wow. Stop now and book this place!

Wow. Wow. Wow. Stop now and book this place! It’s so difficult to find a space that works for corporate retreats and this one has. It. All. There are multiple gathering spaces, amenities for bonding, 14 bedrooms, a large kitchen. Easy check in and check out. Small things all around that make a big difference when hosting (multiple fridges, ice machine, serving platters).

We stayed at the Ark for a church young adult retreat and had 27 people.

We stayed at the Ark for a church young adult retreat and had 27 people. We had several beds unused and everyone got a private bedroom who wanted one. The grounds and interior look exactly like the photos. It is truly incredible. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed and the extra ice makers and refrigerators were life savers. The hot tub spa heated up so quickly and the fire pit with the gas line made for an easy bonfire. We especially loved all the water toys like kayaks and paddle boards. And of course the trampoline deserves a mention!!!

An outstanding place.

An outstanding place. Jeff is extremely conscientious and the Ark met our high expectations. We rented it for a corporate retreat for our small firm—We’ll be back next year.
