What A Perfect Getaway in a Clean/Nice/Relaxing Home!
Myself, my huband our kids were here for Spring Break & to celebrate my son's Birthday. We live in LA, and were looking for something cozy and in nature. We were blown away at how clean and perfect the house and property were! Our time in this house was EXACTLY what we were going for! The owners communication & the communication with the girl who takes care of the horses & goats were icing on the cake. Thank you for a wonderfu lexperience.

Perfect for my 40th Birthday Getaway
I'm local to Atlanta and wanted a find a nearby lakehouse for my 40th birthday festivities and this house was absolutely perfect! It comfortably slept 13 of our friends + a baby and even had plenty of space to have a small gathering with other Atlanta friends who drove up for the day. Everything was immaculately clean, the main floor was super spacious, the interior design was fresh and modern, and the outdoor areas were so great to lounge around during the day despite the colder February weather. (The firepit was clutch!) Although it was too cold to swim in the lake, the hot tub, gym, sauna and especially the farm animals made it so fun for everyone to enjoy the property. Our big friend group has stayed at MANY houses over the years and this was by far one of the best we’ve ever experienced. Joy made the check-in process a breeze and was very quick to respond to my questions. I would 100% recommend this property to anyone wanting to enjoy the lake with friends and family.

Perfect Getaway Vacation
Our family of 10 (2 grandparents, 4 middle age adults, 4 teens & 3 golden retrievers) stayed 5 nights over the New Year’s holiday 2024. We absolutely LOVED this property! It was beautifully decorated for Christmas! It was also comfortably furnished and had a great floor plan and lovely view of the lake. The horses, Poseidon & Annabelle, and the goats, Oreo & Mocha, were very friendly and a fun addition for all of us. We had dozens of delicious farm-fresh eggs during the first couple of days (the chickens’ egg laying dropped off a bit during the very cold days which was expected). We had plenty of room to cook all of our meals in the well-stocked and spacious kitchen that had two dishwashers!!! There were also two laundry rooms! The hosts thought of everything to make sure our stay was nice like s’mores makings and hot chocolate fixings and warm blankets in the den. The kids had fun playing games, ping pong, foosball, kan jam and corn hole as well as working out in the home gym. We highly recommend this rental. We have stayed in multiple rentals all over the southeast for our family get-togethers over the past two decades, and this rental was unanimously our favorite one!!!
