Great for our large group

We enjoyed our time at this house. It was exceptionally clean, especially the bathrooms. Be ready for a steep driveway but that's the only surprise we experienced.

Response from VrboOwner on 27 Mar 2020
Thanks for stressing our emphasis on cleanliness. We take pride in that as we cultivate the utmost respect for our guests. Hosting our guests in a healthy and clean environment is our most prominent goal along with the attractive property features that contribute to their enjoyment. As for the driveway, it is really among the mildest and shortest slopes on lake Lanier, which is well known for its topography of abrupt slopes. This slope can easily be negotiated while your car is on drive. Some other slopes that I have personally experienced on this lake are really hard and require shifting from drive to the strongest gear. In addition, our picture of the front of the property speaks volume.

Family vacation

Everything was beautifully presented in the house. Plenty of room and well equipped. The grounds are beautiful and the whole area is delightful. The lake is gorgeous and we rented jet skis snd a pontoon boat from the owner and had a blast. Ray was very accommodating and very easy to work with. Would definitely go back!

Great stay.

This house worked great for my annual outing with my golfing buddies. The fact it was relatively close to Atlanta was a plus for us. There were houses around but it was quite and surrounded by enough trees that made it private. The kitchen was well stocked with necessary pots, pans, and dinnerware and the grill was used by our group. I would consider using this house for out group in the future.

Words can't describe how awesome our stay was!

From finding the home on VRBO to getting VERY PROMPT responses from Ray to feeling 100% at ease when booking the home to the entire stay there to checking out, my family and I could not have written a better experience! Ray was AMAZING and NEVER took more than 10 minutes to respond before and after we booked. Myself, my hubby and our sons (6YO & 11YO) ALL had a blast! There was plenty to do at the home, we woke up to breath taking sunrises EVERY morning, the lake view and walk to the dock was priceless. We would DEFINITLEY go back AND will recommend this property to EVERYONE! Take a bow "Rockin Ray" you deserve it!

Absolutely Gorgeous, Awesome House!

Our large family needed a vacation home for the Christmas holidays and this house could not have been more perfect! The rooms are much larger and even more beautiful than the photos indicate. The game room got tons of use by the teens and younger kids, and the basement bunkbed room was perfect for all of the boys. Use of the kayaks was a blast. This is probably our favorite rental house of all time. And we have stayed in a lot of rental houses! The owner responds faster to our texted questions than any other owner we have worked with. And a huge bonus was that it was beautifully decorated for Christmas. We will not hesitate to rent one of the houses available from this owner, especially THIS incredible house, again in the future.

Great Stay, even better than the pictures!

Love this house, will be coming back if Ray will have us. Very clean and sooo much room. A lot of adults but the house never felt small. Multiple grills and tons of comfortable places to sit made it a really relaxing stay. The cove is perfectly tucked away too so no traffic or wakes even mid-day Saturday in-season. So clean, great communication, couldn’t be happier with this choice. Thank you!!

Although in a neighborhood, the feel of this place is as if you are secluded. We found the property to be exactly as described, if not more. The property was spacious, clean, and beautifully decorated. The property owner was very responsive. OUr only regret was that we could not stay longer!

Lovely Lake Get Away

Our family enjoyed a wonderful week at Admiral's Cocktail Cove. The location on the lake was perfect for our boating needs of skiing and wake boarding. The house is well represented in the pictures on the website and Ray was always available if and when we had a question. His responses were always prompt! We were challenged with the recycling and trash management for the week as recycling was not picked up from previous guests. I recommend having extra trash bags and/or storage to help manage recycling especially if you will be cooking and eating most of your meals on site. Overall, that did not hinder our relaxing week spent on the lake.

perfect lake cabin

This is a perfect lake cabin. Rustic and cozy. All the kids loved the bunk room! The swing on the screened in porch was my favorite place for coffee! Ray was awesome and even put a second jet ski ramp on the dock for us. The path down to the dock is well done so the walk is easy. Many places don't have a big gas grill that works well and the one here is both!! Having a dock with a boat lift was also perfect for us. We can't wait to come back in cold weather and use the fireplace! We loved it and will be back!
