    They took great care of us!

    This space is perfect for a group getaway, family gathering or wedding space. Spacious, comfortable with great amenities. The food was INCREDIBLE, Ms. Jackie and her team did a fabulous job with the menu all the way down to the deserts. Our group thoroughly enjoyed the setting for our meeting & play times.

    We stayed here with 30 friends

    We were able to stay for 3 days with 30 friends and had a blast. Great amenities, lots of room and beds. Fun places to play games and hang out. Beautiful view. I hope we can come back soon!

    Incredible

    You don’t want to miss the opportunity to stay at The Ark! The facility is beautiful and the accommodations are top notch! Everything was so clean and comfortable. My husband and I stayed in the little nook room upstairs with the beautiful arched windows. The bed was so comfortable and the built in closets were very useful. I loved the added touch of the water bottles on each nightstand. The bathrooms were very clean and the towels and wash cloths were very good quality as well. There’s just so much to be said about this amazing place including the fire pit, trampoline, cozy couches and sitting areas. The list just goes on! Thank you for a wonderful stay and all the extra “homey” touches you add to The Ark, they are noticed!

    One of the best few days the whole year

    This place was first off just really nice looking and up to date with the fashion. There was nice big furniture in nice big rooms. This left a lot of space for guests to wander and do as they pleased. The kitchen looked very nice and had many accomodations including two dishwashers.
    They had a home theater, a ping pong table, a pool table, a volleyball court, a gaga ball pit, (if you don't know what that is look it up it's fun), a tetherball ring, (good ol, 3rd grade), a pool and hot tub, and a lakefront. Your guests will never be bored no matter what age!

    Beautiful Getaway in One Place!

    Our organization got to experience the true beauty of ARK on Lake Lanier for our annual staff conference! Not only was it perfect for everyone to spread out a bit (25-30 people) but we could still all be in one place. It was extra special for us as well because it snowed, so it felt like a real mountain getaway! We definitely want to come back again and hopefully next time we can experience more of the outdoor amenities - fire pit, pool, hot tub, sand volleyball and so much more! It would be a really fun place for family/friends coming into town for a wedding!

    Well Worth A Long Drive

    So I didn’t come to this property for a wedding, but because of how great our trip ended up being, I feel compelled to write as many reviews as I can. As there might be other reviews from people on the same spring break trip, I’m Luke Williford. Our trip leader (Emma) found this place and booked it for us. The 8 hour drive from Deland, Florida was well worth it to experience this place. The weather was horrible but because of the expansive layout and inside options we had an absolute blast square dancing, game playing, song singing, and enjoying each other’s company. If the conversation went dry we could always talk about how incredible this property was and how it set us up so well to have a fulfilling spring break. Jeff (the property owner) was a joy to work with as well, prompt with response and well thought out. We were welcomed with a clean house, clean beds, cookies, popcorn and thorough instructions that allowed us to spend more time in each other’s company not trying to figure out how to operate things. Well worth the money and well worth a long drive!!

    The Perfect Setting For A Wedding

    We were a group of 50 family and friends gathering for our son's wedding rehearsal dinner. Jeff (owner) checked with us frequently and attended to every detail to make this was an amazing event for the bride and groom and all of our guests. The setting is fabulous and the house and cabins are wonderfully appointed with furnishing and all the amenities needed to accommodate any group. Our guests are still talking about the event and the wedding couple will never forget this magical experience.

    Hannah and Justin wedding rehearsal dinner.

    Great evening. We had all that we needed for the dinner and for the ladies and the gentlemen to stay the night in separate rooms. Thank you Jeff.

    Peace and favor abound

    We had a small group gathering at the Ark and were overwhelmed by the peace and favor that rests on the land. The house, cabins and property are professionally done from end to end, from top to bottom, inside and out. Attention to detail is what you will notice and you won't be disappointed. You just won't believe that you have the opportunity to spend time there especially if your focus is heavenward. Jeff and Alycea are faithful stewards and wonderful hosts. May God bless them richly and with great abundance.

    The Ark on Lake Lanier was the perfect place for our intimate outdoor spring wedding. We wanted a laid back celebration with just our closest friends and family there and that was what we got! We were able to have everyone coming to the wedding stay at the house for the weekend and then on Saturday night, celebrate our marriage! Jeff was so helpful in assisting us right away in everything we needed. He is always available by phone or by email. The house was spotless when we arrived and impressed everyone who stayed there. There were so many provided activities and games that everyone had something to do while the bridal party was getting ready on Saturday- it was like a super fun adult day camp! We totally recommend the Ark for vacation and we hope to come back!

    You know how it is when your greedy friend won't say how great the pie is because then everyone is going to want a piece? That's what it is like when writing a review for the ARK....ssshhh...let's just keep this between you and me...

    We had ANOTHER amazing time at the ARK! There is something here for everyone.

    Want to relax? Go for it. Want to expend a ton of energy? Go for it.

    Want to a great place to prepare delicious meals? Go for it.

    Want to curl up in a quiet nook and read a book, while your friends are laughing their heads off in another room? Go for it.

    Want a place that provides great spaces for family and friend bonds to be built and strengthened? Go for it!

    Did I mention that the owners are fantastic? Well they are.

    The Ark was an awesome venue for our couples retreat. The setting was beautiful and gave the couples space to reconnect with each other. The house had everything that we needed and more. The movie room was a big plus for the couples to be able to date without leaving the house. So relaxing too!

    Words can’t express how amazing our stay was at The Ark this past weekend! We enjoyed EVERY aspect of the house: the trampoline, volleyball court, theatre, pool, frisbee golf course, kitchen, ping-pong table, fire-pit, porches…the list goes on-and-on-and-on. The introverts in our crowd had space to “get away” and the extroverts had PLENTY of activities to constantly be enjoying together. We were all so blown away by how beautiful everything was, from the decor to the landscaping. Someone mentioned to me, “This place feels like a home…definitely not a rental property.” It was such a treat to see how excited everyone was to have an opportunity to relax and enjoy such a wonderful place. I can't recommend this place highly enough!!

    A Paradise you will want to come back to again and again

    Absolutely beautiful! The spacious venue overlooking the lake is breathtaking. There is something for everyone. I loved everything from the home theater, to the seemingly endless number of rooms, to the huge backyard complete with a large fire pit, sand volley ball court, and hot tub. This is the perfect getaway for large groups, family reunions, and anyone just needing a time of refreshment and renewal. It is a paradise. Book it now, you will not be disappointed!
