This beautifully decorated, spacious home had everything you could possibly want or need including fresh eggs from the chickens who live right next door. Glenda was a great host who had lots of cold water waiting in the fridge which was most welcome after a long drive from north Georgia. Thanks Glenda

Property location was very easy to find. And check in was a breeze. Communication with Glenda was fast no matter the time of day or night. We enjoyed fresh eggs from the chickens. And sweet tea and lemonade left for us.
