golf weekend

Our family stayed Thursday-Sunday for a family golf weekend. The house were clean and there was plenty of room for everyone. The kitchen was well equipped. We were at the end of the road in a cul-de-sac so it was very quiet with lots of trees. We saw a bear with 3 cubs walking behind the cabin and lots of deer.It rained so the guys were not able to play golf. However, we had so much fun we decied to make it an annual trip. The owner was very easy to get in touch with.

A Great House

Our family thoroughly enjoyed staying at this house. Kitchen was well stocked with cooking utensils. The teens LOVED the game room. It’s in a beautiful setting which encouraged hikes. We would rent again and recommend it to friends.

Wonderful long weekend away with friends

We loved our time at the spacious house, kids were free to run around while we cooked, ate and enjoyed our time together. We loved the amount of sunlight the main room got during the day too. We visited a local brewery and winery not more than 20 mins away from the house and had a wonderful time!

A Magical Serene Mountain Getaway

If you are looking for a place to get away from it all, this is the place. From the house, we saw Wild Turkeys with 15 Babies, a Black Bear, & Deer. The house is definitely prepared for renters. We enjoyed our time here & hope to return.

Peaceful Family Time

Thank you so much for providing such a warm and comfortable home. The communication was awesome and checking in was a breeze. It looks exactly as pictured. So cute, quiet, and peaceful. The house was stocked with everything we needed. We loved the comfy beds, the rocking chairs on the porch, the fireplace, and the firepit for toasting smores. The community was lovely. We went horseback riding, saw a family of bears and lots of deer. What more could you ask for? It felt like a little home away from home. We want to come back!

Beautiful Mountain Home

Our family had a wonderful experience renting this beautiful home. The children enjoyed the ping pong and pool table and making s’mores on the fire table. The adults enjoyed our morning coffee on the screened in porch watching the children create skyscrapers using the building blocks! We would highly recommend this property as the perfect vacation home!!!

Beautiful home, peaceful getaway

This is a beautiful home in the north Georgia mountains… a perfect getaway. We hiked a different trail everyday, watched deer and wild turkeys from the house, roasted marshmallows, and tried several local restaurants. A lot of little details added up to make our stay almost effortless. There was more space in the home than we expected. The kids loved playing pool and foos ball downstairs. We made great memories and can’t wait to come back.

Fabulous Home

We loved our stay at Twisted Branch in the Bent Tree community! The house is wonderfully furnished with everything you need for a relaxing stay. Crystal & Ward were very easy to work and communicate with. Highly recommend the 19th Hole in Bent Tree for lunch or dinner. We loved exploring the Bent Tree community, lakes and trails, and just walking the community. The screened porch is a wonderful place to relax on a rainy day. And every day offered wonderful views of the wild life, deer and wild turkey! We would definitely stay here again.

Mountaintop Memories

Our daughter and her husband recently moved 14 hours away from home and we have been looking for a location that is equal distance for all of us to meet for a weekend. Twisted Branch is perfect. We love that every bedroom has it own bathroom and there is plenty of space to be together and visit. We had a ping pong and pool tournament one evening and enjoyed just being together. The house is well appointed with everything you need in the kitchen and the bathrooms. The mattresses and sheets were excellent. The driveway is a little steep but all asphalt and a tight fit for three vehicles but we loved feeling like we were on top of the world. We can’t wait to plan our next weekend.

Magical getaway

To say we had an Amazing time would be an understatement. Our purpose was to spend New Years in the mountains but the level of peace and relaxation we hadn’t anticipated. The cabin was cozy and spectacular, we were sooo comfortable there, each group got their own room with private bathroom which was a life saver for a party of 8. We were visited by deers on a daily basis, flock of turkeys were spotted 2 days in a row and we even spotted 2 bears from the deck one of the days. Our dog had the greatest time sniffing, listening and looking at everything nature offered. Cabin is a short walk away from tennis court, with really low prices for visitors so we managed to enjoy it. The best part was the Spillway: the lake views, the river, the falls by the trail were breathtaking. My husband enjoyed to the fullest the game room so much that he spent most of the time there. It was the best decision made and a destination worthy to return to. Thank you to the owners for the great communication and the smooth check-in and check-out process

Not the best but not the worst

The house is adequate but it should be stated in the information that this is not a suitable place for anyone with any type of mobility problems. The house has many steps and the entrance stairs are unusual in that they are different widths and the heights are very shallow. We didn’t feel like the house had been inspected well as there were dirty washclothes in one bathroom , and there was one bathroom where no towels had been put out at all. We also found pillows with dirty pillow cases thrown in the bottom of one closet. The roads accessing the house are very very narrow and quite steep. I had a driver and I was glad because especially at night the roads felt very dangerous. The mirrors in at least 2 bathrooms were hung very low which required the users ( 5’ 5” to 5’7”)to bend over in order to see the tops of their heads. The surrounding area is very pretty and the outdoor space with the house is quite nice. The instructions in the guest book do not agree with what is posted on line so the two need to be synced.

Nice Cabin / Bad Location

The cabin is nice and the owners were nice and responsive. We expected to play pool and all the equipment was unusable the second night of our trip. They did order some the next. We were also lacking dish tabs to run dishwasher. My son had to go to town to get them. Otherwise, cabin was nicely stocked. The ad talks about sunsets, but its somewhat blocked by trees. The best view of house up top doesn't have a sitting area to enjoy. Our biggest issues was the stable being unable to accommodate us or other visitors as they also do special events. They recommended us elsewhere, made reservations and were surprised with no horses for us. It was an awful experience...pretty much ruined our last day. They need to tell people about checking availability of on-site activities before they booked their cabin. The area doesn't have much else to do this time of year. Tour of gold mine is cheesy...dont waste your money. The gem mining was fun though. Over all feel like the trip was a big waste of my time and money. If your looking for more to do, you may want to consider a different location like Helen.

Best VRBO We’ve Stayed in

We rented “Twisted Branch” for our daughter’s wedding in the Bent Tree community. We found the cabin to be flawless & spotless. By far it was the best equipped vacation rental we have ever rented( we have rented VRBO’s all over Europe & North America) I would highly recommend this cabin for anyone having a large gathering as the four bedrooms & 4 bathrooms give you plenty of space. The kitchen is the best equipped I’ve ever stayed in. My family loved that there was plenty of space for everyone( we were a party of 7). Regards Claudia & Ken Woodruff
