The Lake House, The Ritz-Carlton Reynolds, Lake Oconee
In easy reach of Atlanta but what feels like a world away, The family-friendly Ritz-Carlton Reynolds, Lake Oconee, is a sprawling estate set on the tranquil blue waters of its namesake, nestled between the sky-high pines of Georgia.
Time seems to slow down here with days spent absorbing nature’s bounty; boating in a classic wooden Hacker-Craft, fishing for bream and bass, seeing where the bike path takes you, or golfing on one of the resort’s five championship courses. Thrill seekers can also get their fix with a spot of jet skiing or wakeboarding.
The Ritz Kids Clubhouse enables little ones the chance to switch off from the digital world with everything from animal encounters and scavenger hunts to nature hikes. While the Ritz Kids Lake Adventure program introduces the explorers of tomorrow to the great outdoors via tent-building skills and fishing techniques.
Ideal for multigenerational family getaways, The Lake House is a three-story, four-bedroom, lake-front residence that merges Southern charm with unrivaled luxury.
Tucked away from the main hotel for maximum privacy, it was selected as one Elite Traveler’s World’s Finest Family Suites of 2023, thanks to its expansive and exceptional indoor and outdoor private space.
The young and adults alike will adore the ground floor games and entertainment room as well as the enormous swimming pool, enveloped by the mature garden.
The second floor features a plush white-paneled living room and a separate dining room featuring a rustic-chic over-table chandelier, as well as a grand Southern-style porch that nearly spans the length of the house.
A dedicated concierge will be on hand to arrange a host of exclusive experiences such as a private chef to create a feast in the full-sized kitchen, exclusive reservations, or a photographer to capture memorable vacation moments..

The hotel’s rooms and suites lean into its laidback country-style charm, with simple yet stylish decor. Some look over the lake, others the countryside. For more space, book one of the cottages.
