My grands loved the big swing in the cookout area & all the games that were available to them. My son loved the fire pit area. They all loved the screened in porch & especially the hot tub. We all wished the lake was full. We all imagined how beautiful the view would’ve been looking from the porch. The hosts were very hospitable. ##### Jeni H.

This house is set up for entertainment! There were so many different places to sit :-). We had fun sitting in all of them but spent the most time out on the back screened in porch. There is a hanging bed couch that we actually slept in and loved hearing the night sounds during an unexpectedly cool late summer night. And the hot tub was great! We were all sad to leave. It’s was a truly lovely stay. The host was so nice and response. Even left us a sweet treat to enjoy during our stay. Hope we can make it back there again soon! ##### Jennifer C.

The hot tub was amazing! It’s about 20 mins from UGA and 10 mins from groceries/food. Simply lovely for a family getaway! ##### Bria C.
