Absolutely wonderful!
We stayed in this cabin for Thanksgiving week and it was absolutely wonderful! There were 18 of us; ages 8 to 83. The cabin was everything the description states and more. We fit comfortably in the cabin with room to spare. The kids loved it; it was accommodating to my elderly parents, too. The kitchen had everything we needed for making anything such as a large pot of gumbo to all of our Thanksgiving meal sides. We ordered turkeys from a local meat shop which was amazing, too. The beds and rooms were large with plenty of bathrooms. Most rooms had a private bathroom which was ideal for our group. The property manager was super sweet and answered all of our questions timely. We love to hike; there’s a small trail close to the house with a creek that leads to the pond. It was cold so we did not take advantage of the canoes everyday; but we stayed outside a good bit of the time we were there. The large outdoor seating area had a nice fire place and there was an additional fireplace we gathered around down closer to the pond most nights. I could go on, you won’t be disappointed!

Our leadership team stayed 3 nights and had an excellent experience. There were so many fun and relaxing environments inside and outside of the cabin that we didn't have time to use them all. It was perfect and the team wants to come back next year. A great experience from booking to checkout.

Amazing!
The cabin and the property exceeded our expectations. We had a family gathering that consisted of 26 adults and children and the cabin accommodated us all perfectly! Everything was well stocked in the kitchen to prepare meals for such a large group. The massive game room and waterfall shower were big hits. We had a birthday celebration for my wife and her favorite part was the huge dining room table that we could all gather at and enjoy our meals. As an added bonus, Heather from Kristy Collection made the stay even more enjoyable with her professional, helpful accessibility before, during and after our stay!

Perfect for large gathering
This house was perfect, we had 24 adults and no one was crowded. The pictures do not do the size of the house justice. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen was well stocked, all of us fit around the table for a formal dinner. The covered deck with fireplace had plenty of room for everyone. We were able to fit 10 cars easily in the driveway and even had room to spare for a game of corn hole. We definitely will come back for future gatherings!

Beautiful Retreat, Excellent Location
Excellent weekend of fellowship, in a beautiful location. The property was a great location, with beautiful scenery and amenities. The kitchen being well stocked with cooking essentials was a huge plus. The arcade in the bar area kept us entertained for hours. My only negatives, was the Cable was inoperable our first 2 nights, and had do deal with the cable guy on Friday. I'm thankful yall got him out promply, but a little frustrated it wasn't confirmed working before arrival. Additionally, an outside TV was advertised, and i found out that 2nd day, that it was removed from the property. That did lessen our usage of the outdoor patio. Overall i highly recommend the property to any large group or family, we undoubtably had a great experience.

The home is beautiful! Space is amazing for large groups. Lake is awesome!! Spring fed and feels so clean! The kids had fun fishing and we all had a great time in tubes and inflatable slide we brought. Men golfed and ladies visited wineries. Outdoor deck space is fantastic and perfectly situated out of both the kitchen and dining areas. Another refrigerator is the only thing that could’ve made it better for our large group eating in each night. We will be back!!! #memories #familyreunion

Property and location was great. The house was very loud, the bunk rooms are situated above two of the master bedrooms and you have to walk through the main master bedroom to use the hot tub. The views were pretty. The house could use a good deep cleaning - lots of dust and cobwebs. Overall we had a great time

Beautiful, spacious home with lovely views!
We were a family group of 25, ranging from 1-70. The home had PLENTY of space for our large group. We loved sitting outside and looking over the lake (and the weather was fantastic even while the rest of the south was roasting!). It was peaceful and beautiful. Everyone enjoyed the arcade games, pool, and fooseball. We used the kayaks and had a great time at the lake. There was so much provided at the home, from kayaks and canoes, to floats and life vests of all sizes. We had two one-year olds and were happy to find there were three pack and plays available. More than enough for us. The only thing I wish they had was a gate for each set of stairs. There was one gate, but it was broken. I brought a tension gate, but it didn't fit the opening. So it kept us on our toes watching our little ones-they are so fast! haha. The location was ideally located between Ellijay and Blue Ridge and between 2 state parks, so there was plenty to do relatively close by. We would absolutely come back again and highly recommend this home.

Beautiful home, well maintained, easily accommodated our family of 25 people. The kitchen was a bit understocked for a house of this size. The location is a bit remote, so quite peaceful, but you have to drive 20+ minutes to get anywhere for supplies and all activities besides the lake (pond).
