Central Georgia splendor awaits at this relaxing retreat. Conveniently situated just a short drive from downtown Forsyth, the Rum Creek Wilderness Area, and Lake Juliette, you can spend your days soaking up small-town charm or exploring the backwoods with hiking, kayaking, hunting, and fishing. A gentle creek meanders through the property, adding a dose of rustic appeal to the home. Yard games and a firepit provide plenty of opportunities for outdoor gatherings. Additional highlights include a covered front porch, a large deck, and an outdoor shower.
The home showcases a modern farmhouse aesthetic complete with recent upgrades and improvements designed for full family comfort. Lofty ceilings and strong natural light frame the living area, with plush seating, a smart TV, and a wood stove setting the scene for group gatherings. Gleaming countertops and high-end stainless steel appliances fill out the impressive full kitchen. Meals and game nights can be enjoyed around the large dining table. The furnished sunroom offers a cozy spot to kick back with your favorite book.
Besides Rum Creek and Forsyth, the home is also within easy reach of family-friendly retail shops, entertainment, and restaurants.

Needs attention
Refrigerator needed cleaning. Dining room door would not lock, could not get a response from property manager when tried to report. No kitchen towels. No check out guidelines or expectations of us. I attempted to contact Ms Goins by text, email and phone with no response. We did eventually get the door to lock after many attempts and lifting up the bottom of the door. Overall we enjoyed our stay, but prefer not to have to address these issues. Sandra Rathel
