Celebrations & Reunions on Lake Lanier

A private stone estate on eight gated, wooded acres of Lake Lanier waterfront — room for the whole family to gather, celebrate a milestone birthday or anniversary, and spread out across eight bedrooms. Hosted in person by David.

A home built for gathering

Milestone birthdays, anniversaries, and family reunions all fit comfortably here. The Castle holds eight bedrooms across three levels and sleeps up to 20, so three generations can spread out without anyone feeling cramped. The main level opens into a family room with a fireplace, alongside a kitchen and dining area that seats 22 — the whole group at one table.

Out on the water and across the grounds

The estate sits on eight gated, wooded acres of private Lake Lanier waterfront, with its own dock and an on-site fleet: two tri-toons, a wake boat, two jet skis, a paddle boat, kayaks, and paddleboards. Back on land there’s a pool with an eight-person hot tub and a sauna, a recreation field for pickleball, sand volleyball, bocce, basketball, and cornhole, and a rooftop lake bar with a fire-pit table for the evening.

Hosted in person

David greets every group on arrival for a walkthrough of the home, and typically replies within an hour during daytime ET. You book direct with the owner — no property manager, no key-box, no OTA service fee.

What fits here

The gatherings this home is made for

Milestone birthdays

40ths, 50ths, 60ths and beyond — a full weekend on the water instead of a few hours in a banquet room.

Anniversaries & vow renewals

An intimate, private setting for the people who matter most — family and close friends, never a ticketed guest list.

Family reunions

Three generations under one roof with room to spread out, and up to 39 attendees on the property.

Holiday gatherings

Thanksgiving, the December holidays, or the Fourth on the lake — book the whole estate for the family.

Graduations & send-offs

Mark the milestone with a lakeside weekend the whole family will remember.

Small private celebrations

A retirement, a new baby, a homecoming — gatherings that simply want a beautiful, private place to be.

We're honest about what we're not: the county won't permit the home as a wedding venue, and ticketed events aren't allowed. The Castle is at its best for birthdays, anniversaries, and family reunions.

How a celebration weekend flows

A sample weekend on the lake

An illustrative rhythm — every group makes the weekend its own.

  1. Friday · arrival

    David greets your group

    A personal walkthrough of the home and grounds on arrival, then settle in across the eight bedrooms and gather for a first dinner by the fireplace.

  2. Saturday · the celebration

    On the water, then the long table

    Out on the dock and the fleet through the afternoon, the pool and rec field for the kids, then all twenty-two at one table for the celebration dinner — the rooftop bar after.

  3. Sunday · farewell

    A slow morning

    Coffee on the water, a last swim, and an unhurried checkout — no clock-watching and no vendor breakdown to rush.
