So glad Lesleigh and her family had a relaxing and enjoyable stay. Bethel Village is a place for family to connect, unplug and enjoy each. I am glad to hear our guest was able to do that. They are more than welcome to come again.

The Property was Beautiful Clean left complimentary pizza juice water was a nice touch Host was awesome they have dogs so let them know if you have a pet they are not friendly at all and should not be allowed to roam freely at all but the host mannerism was so sincere that I couldn't hold the mishap against them wanted to be angry but couldn't be because owners was so sweet and property was gorgeous

Love the view of the pond

Family and I enjoyed the peaceful surroundings. A lot of gnats so hard to enjoy the outside. Comfortable beds. Felt at home. The prayer closet was a wonderful addition to the home. Brenda was kind when I requested to arrive a few minutes early. Highly recommend.

The Genesis House was the perfect spot for myself and two teenagers. The property was clean and as described. Communication was timely, and the hosts were wonderful! The fishing, paddle boat, kayak, and fire pit were all amazing. I only wish we could have stayed longer! Come and unwind at this gem in the heart of Georgia.

Perfect place to unwind

Brenda & George are the perfect hosts. Very welcoming and accommodating. The home is ultimately clean and warmly furnished. The rural setting is very peaceful and stress-free and includes a beautiful lake view. Be advised, you will travel a couple miles of graded/unpaved road to get to the property but every inch is well worth the trip.

Peace and Calm

Hidden gem of a getaway in Dodge County. The Genesis was everything as described. Brenda was a superb hostess, quick to respond and very helpful. All the amenities a group five would need. The house is plenty spacious and immaculate. Morning coffee overlooking the calm, peaceful pond was an added bonus. Will definitely stay here again.

Ladies weekend

It was a beautiful serene place to stay. It was very clean inside and outside. My only complaint was it was a bit of a challenge for my Mama and Sister to go up and down the steps into the house. But that was my fault for not making sure it was handicap accessible. The host was very nice and even called when we mistakenly left something in the freezer. I would definitely stay here again.

So sorry about your Mom and the steps. If they come back just raise the garage door and come in through the kitchen. Its way less steps.

Celebration of Life

Our beloved family member passed away. We had to last minute find a place to accommodate our family. Brenda was so understanding and allowed us to come in early to prepare for the viewing. We love this compound. We stayed here in 2021 when our grandmother passed away. Thank you so much!
