Walnut Grove was outstanding!! It has EVERYTHING you need to start with - plenty of shampoo, conditioner, body wash - all bathroom necessities. It had an epic kitchen with every utensil, seasoning, & pots/pans you could imagine. The outdoor cooking space was excellent as well with the grill, smoker, & blackstone! We couldn't have been more pleased. There is ample room for people to spread out with an amazing wrap-around porch. The views were breathtaking! There is so much to do there, as well - we spent hours on the pickleball court, hiked around the creek, did some fishing, and even got to enjoy the town of Ellijay for an afternoon.We HIGHLY recommend this place for a couples retreat or family reunion! Thank you for making our stay all we had hoped!!

We stayed here for our Sr. Leadership Planning Meeting; this was one of the most beautiful places we've ever stayed at. Very well stocked, you don't need to bring much and so much to do on property. Absolutely Incredible! Heidi and Dee were amazing. A definite must stay!

Best VRBO rental ever

I’ve stayed at a number of Vrbo properties and this was hands down the best! The managers of the property were accommodating, attentive and extremely helpful. I could not know highly recommend this place. Absolutely beautiful and thoroughly impressive.

Trip of a lifetime

My daughter was getting married close by and we wanted a house that would be able to host the immediate family. Every detail of the house is well thought out. The property is well-maintained.

Amazing for our retreat

This was perfect for our work retreat. The space is large enough to accommodate several working meetings at one time and that each room in the main house has its own bath was a definite plus. All the information in the guidebook was so helpful for facilitating meals. We will do this again!

Outstanding accommodations for our Family Reunion

This is a 5 Star experience. The property managers met us and immediately made us feel welcomed to the exquisite lodge and property. The accommodations are impeccable including the gourmet kitchen and outside kitchen. The grounds included so many activities for adults and children. The new pickle ball courts were a favorite.

Best weekend Office retreat

We absolutely love this property and the high end details. Weather would never be an issue here bc there is so much to do. We really appreciated how beautifully appointed the home was for every guest and every bedroom and bathroom was amazing. Heidi and Dee were absolutely wonderful to work with and went out of their way to make our stay perfect! We 100% recommend this property for groups and will be back!

A Fantastic Large Family Trip

We had so much fun during our 7 day stay and were definitely "wowed" by this property. We do this every year and this is the best stocked VRBO we have ever rented. We enjoyed all the amenties too as we hiked, played tennis and pickleball, fished, played frisbee golf, cornhold and sat by the fire every evening. It was just the best. You won't be sorry, I can promise you that. Now, can someone tell me what mattresses you use as I want one for at home!!!

What a Perfect Getaway Spot

There were about 25 or so of us who got to experience the Lodge at Walnut Grove. To say it was above and beyond and completely exceeded our expectations would still be an understatement. The place was spectacular and immaculate. Every detail and amenity accounted for. We were there for a songwriting retreat, and apart from the ample space that we had, it also was simply inspiring because of the sheer beauty that we were surrounded by. We truly truly loved getting to stay here and enjoyed everything about it - start to finish. Thank you so much for creating such a wonderful place for people to stay in.

101st Birthday Celebration

Wonderful property. Exceeded expectations. Considering the rain from Hurricane Helene, we couldn't take advantage of the outdoor facilities. However, some did the trails in the rain. Staying inside was very comfortable and even sitting on the porch was delightful as was fully covered. Outstanding kitchen. All the family agreed would come back for another family gathering.

Spectacular

We chose this property for a decade celebration of our 60th - close friends and classmates. Everyone had their own room and bathroom and the grounds and accommodations were like a resort. Heidi and Dee met us at the property and were available throughout. Free eggs (from chickens nearby) and an amazing charcuterie board! Icemaker! S'mores kit, work out room, views to die for. Fishing and finished pickleball and tennis courts.

As advertised and more

My family and I have contracted with property owners from Vail, Savannah, Orlando, and other places in the US. The staff at Walnut Grove is THE most attentive of all the properties we've visited to date. The property is truly amazing. While the location may not be as glamorous as Vail, the affordability of this property is a huge plus. The pictures only tell part of the story. The attention to detail in all the activities was first class. And the surprise of a disc golf course on the property was a bonus. My family is ready to get on this ride again. Thank you, Heidi, for your time and attention in making our stay memorable.

Fantastic place to stay

Our family had the best stay at The Lodge at Walnut Grove to celebrate a 75th birthday. The home was beautifully decorated and stocked with way more than we expected, inside and outside. We have nothing but good things to say about our stay and can't wait to visit again with our huge family.
