hen Jeff Hylton stepped onto a lakefront property just west of the Sardis area in Hall County, he knew he had found a new home for his family. “I fell in love with it,” the Gainesville father of three said. “I could envision ATVs and ziplines.” His daydream was just that, a daydream. The owners of the 5-acre property were not willing to sell. “I made a deal with God,” Hylton said. “I said to God ‘If I am meant to have it, then you will find a way to bring it back to me.’” Six months later, God agreed. The owners were ready to sell. “It was like God saying ‘OK. Here you go,’” Hylton said with his wife, Alycea, nodding in agreement. Ark on Lake Lanier was born as a home for a family. Fast-forward 10 years, it is now self-proclaimed as a premier luxury vacation rental with a higher purpose by providing a refuge for nonprofit organizations. “It is a ministry house that is self-sustaining,” Jeff said. “We now rent it out as much as we can to cover the costs of providing a haven in the off-season to those who need it most.”
A place to relax and recharge
The Ark on Lake Lanier offers plenty of space for groups large and small. The lake house with 14 bedrooms and 12 bathrooms sleeps up to 45 people in the 12,000-square-foot space. Amenities of all types can tend to the needs of the young and old.
