Our fully renovated LakeHouses provide a stylish retreat for executive groups and VIPs, while lakeside Villas offer six private guest rooms each, just steps from meetings.

Spark collaboration and build camaraderie with our award-winning team-building led by Lapdog, Inc. Experiences range from scavenger hunts and pontoon challenges on Lake Lanier to cardboard regattas and more, all designed to engage, energize, and connect your group. Between sessions, attendees can unwind at our Game Changer Entertainment Center with duckpin bowling, axe throwing, virtual sports simulators, dining, and sports viewing.
