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 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 near by 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 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 are great for groups and family gatherings with the kids.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned vacation home, which features a fireplace and a private pool. There's a private balcony. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. The bathroom with a shower/tub combination features a jetted bathtub and a bidet.
Don't miss out on recreational opportunities including an indoor pool and a hot tub.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

Roomy house in need of loving care
Tired property in need of refurbishment and a deep clean, especially carpeting. There were only 9 forks in the whole house! Ample space for the 11 of us! Hot tub was great once the handyman got it going! Perfect location, beautiful views!

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.

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!!

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.

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.

Guys Weekend
Hosted friends from out of town for a guys weekend and the house was perfect for it. Lots of room, great location, and great new double deck dock. Great location on lake lanier and we spent most of the time fishing and boating. Also the best poker table our group has ever had. Kirti was easy to work with and very responsive both leading up to and during the trip.

Best vacation ever!
The Lake house was everything we wanted plus more. There was never a dull moment. We all spent the majority of the time in the lake which was clear and beautiful. The younger kids practiced for their "olympics" in the pool. There are many areas in the house to chill and play games or get a bit of alone time. It was lovely sitting on the green lawn on the morning with our coffee. Kirti, the host, was attentive and responsive to all our needs, We highly recommend the Lake House for families of all ages.

Everything we wanted & so much fun!
We are a couple who stayed here for 7 days to get a sense of the lake as a potential retirement location. Eight of our closest friends joined us for the weekend as well, ages 40-62. We rented a tritoon boat and oh my goodness… the lake is breathtaking. There are so many coves, sandy beaches, beautiful sailboats, & fun restaurants on the lake. We also kept our paddle boards in the boathouse. There are many towns in the area to get to know. The house is perfect for large groups with plenty of beds, bathrooms, kitchen space, & sitting areas. The owners are attentive. One of our guests on the lower level had a cold-only shower, and we realized that the hot water faucet wasn’t working properly. The owners were able to have it fixed promptly, which we so appreciated. Speaking of baths, our favorite feature was the two-person tub in the master bathroom. We used it EVERY night, and it was so relaxing. We preferred this over the hot tub, for sure. We also got firewood for a few nights around the fire, which everyone enjoyed. We cooked on the grill (which we are so sorry that we think we forgot to clean), and there was plenty of stools & chairs for everyone to sit outside and eat. The two washers & two dryers came in handy for washing all of our towels. (Some detergent was available, but we also had our own). The house had a few kinks to work out (light switches, door locks, stove burners… typical homeowner things), but we are resourceful people, and able to make it a great week overall! There were plenty of dishes & utensils (more plastic cups & towels would’ve been appreciated), but we were able to have our friends bring some more things when they arrived. Plan to get your own bath soap, shampoo, conditioner, extra toilet paper (if you have a large group), extra towels, kitchen basics (extra paper towels, condiments, cooking oil, coffee, sugar, etc). There were enough pots, pans, bowls, serving utensils, grill utensils, seating (all 10 of us loved sitting at the round table together). Thank you for a great property to enjoy while visiting the lake!

COOL house made for RELAXING!
So much room to spread out and relax! The kitchen was well stocked and the large round dinner table had such a nice view of the lake. The beds were comfortable (lots of ceiling fans in bedrooms) and the bathrooms were huge (and so many of them, all with very unique sinks/faucets). The two main TV areas were great, too—for movie nights since we were able to connect to Netflix, Amazon Prime, Disney+, etc. (at least on the largest TV on the basement level, we didn’t try on the upstairs TV—used it mainly for watching “regular” TV). Our only two issues were the hot tub (didn’t get hot until the day we left—of course, Kirti was very responsive and tried to get it fixed for us) and the lack of stairs down to the dock (which was damaged due to a storm and is due to be fixed soon). Our kids’ favorite features were the basketball court and the indoor pool. My favorite was also the indoor pool, as well as the nice table/chairs/umbrella on the dock (especially at sunset). We really enjoyed Pelican Pete’s and FishTales for dinner (located at two separate marinas close by), and used GrubHub for a couple of nights. Thank you for sharing your AMAZING home with us—we had a such a wonderful and relaxing week! The Conner Family

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.

Amazing NYE stay
I came with 9 people for a two night stay at this house and it was amazing. It was very spacious and open which made us feel comfortable given covid regulations. The different areas in the home allowed for all of my guests to comfortably relax, enjoy the views, pool and hot tub. I contacted the hosts for flexibility in check-in and check-out they were accommodating and very nice. My group kept saying how excited we are to return back to this house in the future, we already have ideas for a summer trip back! Lovely stay and highly recommend this home for a group vacation.

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!
