Amazing property!!

My husband and I, along with 3 other couples, rented this property for our daughters’ graduation from UGA. It was perfect! The grounds are breathtaking and offer so much to do. When the weather did not cooperate with the planned pool party, the parents sat on the large porches watching all of the birds through the provided binoculars and caught up, while the graduates fished in the pond. Our only regret was that we did not book the property an additional day after the graduation to decompress! The drive to Athens was an easy 20-25 minutes and there is a nice grocery store 10 minutes from the house. We will definitely try to book the house again for fall game day weekends!

Spectacular!!

This was an experience of epic proportions! The location, location, location was simply perfect and beautiful. The host brigs an “A” game that is all encompassing and totally unique. There is nothing ordinary about this place. From the moment you step onto the property you are transformed into a beautiful wonderland of serenity. Thank you for making my mother’s 100th birthday celebration such a memorable event for her, for each of our guests and for visiting relatives across the country, your intentional efforts truly made a difference! If you are considering a wedding, a place to get away, time to connect with others in a very bright yet private space, this is the best! The host, the grounds team, the details, the well stocked kitchen, the lake, the pool, the gorgeous bedding the exquisite taste in furnishings just elevates your stay in an unforgettable way! Thank you Daniel, you are spectacular! We plan to return, and return and come again for various occasions! We are already planning our next stay with you!

This place is AMAZING

The pictures do no where near justice to how beautiful and grand this property is. The place was absolutely immaculate. The view from the porch over the lake is absolutely stunning. We caught several bass and loved the fire pit next to the lake. Daniel and his family are wonderful people and will be sure to do everything they can to make sure your stay is perfect. Loved it. Highly recommend!
