Great space for family gathering
We chose to stay at this property because we wanted to visit our son stationed at Ft. Benning. This house was perfect. Extended family came as well. The pool and hot tub area was great. The house has everything and anything you could need including games and toys for younger kids. It’s 20-30 minutes from downtown Columbus and Ft. Benning. We would definitely stay here again. It was so peaceful!

Perfect for large group visiting Fort Moore
We booked this incredible home for our son’s Army graduation ceremony/family weekend & it was absolutely perfect! Hard to explain just how big it actually is. We only had 8 people staying but it easily could have held 16. Location is in a quiet country setting but only 15 mins from all city amenities & roughly 30 mins from Fort Moore. Highly recommended! The host was very friendly & helpful as well.

Lightning Hill stay for grandson Turning Green graduation
The house is huge and was a great choice for our group, which included our grandson and his fiancee, our granddaughter, our son-in-law and our daughter. The house met all our requirements and then some, and the owner/property manager was exceptionally helpful. Highly recommended.

Quiet Oasis
We came to Georgia for a Military graduation. Family came from 5 states. We loved the house, we had plenty of space to play games, cook and eat together, do puzzles, play outdoors, get family pics, etc. It had most of what we needed and what we didn’t have the owner provided. The house and property is beautiful. The owners were so nice and on top of everything we needed, very accommodating. We were all very impressed, it was everything described and more! We would definitely rebook if we are in the area again.

Perfect for a trip with extended family
This home was perfect for a multiple family vacation. Plenty of seating. We loved the pool and hot tub. The owner was very responsive. We were a little worried about one of the rooms with a pull out couch being really bright for a family member with sensory needs, and the owner even offered to get shades for us. It didn’t end up being a problem but we greatly appreciated him being willing to try to help us. We liked that it wasn’t too far from food and the grocery.

"If I Ever Get Back to Georgia, I'm Gonna Nail my Feet to the Ground." Lewis Grizzard
We booked this house for our daughter's Senior Trip. We booked a guided fishing charter and white water rafting while we were there. This house is amazing! It's an absolute beauty! We loved the owners and they were super awesome to deal with. Even if you just stay onsite all week the pool and hot tub are PHENOMENAL! We had 16 people and we were perfectly comfortable. The kitchen is STOCKED with anything you can imagine you may need. Definitely hone away from home. Jenny has the set up when it comes to games, puzzles, art supplies, books, and anything you can imagine for indoor entertainment. You will not be disappointed if you book this property!
Thank you Josh and Jenny for an amazing property and for all your kindness!

Family Vacation
We truly enjoyed our vacation. The property had everything we needed to have a comfortable stay. My family had so much fun in the pool and outdoor space. The kitchen was amazing and was well stocked with the essentials to prepare our meals. The kids loved the art and music room too.

Unbelievable home and host
We can not say enough about our stay. Every year our family (3 grown children and spouses and 6 grandchildren) get together the weekend before Christmas to celebrate our family Christmas. This is by far the best location we have stayed. So much room!!! Every family had their own bedroom with their own bathroom. The living room area was big enough for us all to sit and spend time together.
The grandchildren had so many fun toys to play with. The kitchen was so large and fully stocked for us to cook our meals together. We all wanted this kitchen in our own homes.
To top it all off, the house was so wonderfully decorated for Christmas that is just made our stay that much more special.
The host was terrific. So quick to respond.
We could go on and on about how special this home was for our Christmas gathering. Highly Recommend!!!
