The peaceful atmosphere of this property is enhanced by a lake, creating a calming environment where you can unwind and connect with nature.The host is wonderful, the place is clean and comfortable, We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend this place.
We loved the quiet beautiful surroundings.Our trip included visits to Bulloch House in Warm Springs, the Little White House and Callaway Gardens. Warm Springs was 25 minutes away and Callaway was 15 minutes.We enjoyed the history of the place and the views. Beds were very comfortable and the KItchen was updated, beautiful and nicely stocked. We used both the coffee full pot brewer and the Kuerig pod brewer.Overall a nice trip
Wonderful property for those looking to get away from things and relax. Extra bonus is the history of the property and the great hosts. Learning about the property, the main house and the cabin made the stay even more special. Would definitely return!
This was an enjoyable house from the past. It was definitely nice having a bathroom for each bedroom Makes for plenty of privacy. The lake was also amazing. Great view and perfect privacy.
Wonderful option oustside Callaway Gardens. Great fishing, hiking and history lessons along the way! Tour of the property was a great experience as well...
