As soon as I saw this property I knew it was perfect for my wedding weekend! Everybody who you communicate with are so kind and willing to move mountains to help you enjoy your time. Their attentiveness and enthusiasm was so relieving for my pre wedding nerves trying to make sure everything was taken care of. The property itself is magnificent and in top condition, beautiful and very clean. They walk you through everything you need to know, and you will have all that you could imagine here taken care of already. My wedding was so amazing and they even checked on how it went after the trip was completed. My friends, family, and I loved it. We had room to play outside games, get in the pool or hot tub, made smores in the fireplace because it had just gotten cool enough, and had so much room inside as well for our wedding festivities and games afterwards. I’d recommend this for anyone and everyone who is interested you will not be disappointed.

We stayed here for my brother's Turning Blue graduation, and this property is absolutely beautiful! The house is so spacious and clean, and stocked well with toiletries adequate for a large number of people. The hosts were very friendly and communicated well! They actually live on the property, so when we arrived they gave us a tour of the home, which was very helpful. Their daughter even comes over early every morning to maintenence/clean the pool and hot tub, so it's ready to use each day. There is, however, a noise ordinance that goes into effect around 10pm, so you may want to keep that in mind if you have music playing or if you're playing games outside. That's something I wasn't expecting due to the acreage, but once the host explained that due to the amount of trees, there's lots of echo, it made sense.There are plenty of bath towels and pool towels for everyone, as well as laundry soap! They also had alot of condiments in the fridge, as well as spices in the cabinets!Overall, we had such a great time, and we would definitely stay here again! Do not hesitate to book this property.

We were visiting Columbus, Georgia, for my son’s graduation from Fort Benning. This home was perfect for our large group. The owner was attentive and took care of any issues or questions immediately. The home is well-stocked and the pool area is amazing. Would definitely recommend this home and this owner. We would stay here again if returning to the area.
