Love the view of the pond

Family and I enjoyed the peaceful surroundings. A lot of gnats so hard to enjoy the outside. Comfortable beds. Felt at home. The prayer closet was a wonderful addition to the home. Brenda was kind when I requested to arrive a few minutes early. Highly recommend.

Ladies weekend

It was a beautiful serene place to stay. It was very clean inside and outside. My only complaint was it was a bit of a challenge for my Mama and Sister to go up and down the steps into the house. But that was my fault for not making sure it was handicap accessible. The host was very nice and even called when we mistakenly left something in the freezer. I would definitely stay here again.

Celebration of Life

Our beloved family member passed away. We had to last minute find a place to accommodate our family. Brenda was so understanding and allowed us to come in early to prepare for the viewing. We love this compound. We stayed here in 2021 when our grandmother passed away. Thank you so much!

Wonderful

The Genesis House was the perfect spot for myself and two teenagers. The property was clean and as described. Communication was timely, and the hosts were wonderful! The fishing, paddle boat, kayak, and fire pit were all amazing. I only wish we could have stayed longer! Come and unwind at this gem in the heart of Georgia.

Perfect place to unwind

Brenda & George are the perfect hosts. Very welcoming and accommodating. The home is ultimately clean and warmly furnished. The rural setting is very peaceful and stress-free and includes a beautiful lake view. Be advised, you will travel a couple miles of graded/unpaved road to get to the property but every inch is well worth the trip.

Peace and Calm

Hidden gem of a getaway in Dodge County. The Genesis was everything as described. Brenda was a superb hostess, quick to respond and very helpful. All the amenities a group five would need. The house is plenty spacious and immaculate. Morning coffee overlooking the calm, peaceful pond was an added bonus. Will definitely stay here again.

Fantastic place to stay!

This is a beautiful house! I loved the way it was decorated, the floor plan, and especially the screened-in back porch! The furnishings were very comfortable and arranged in a way to encourage conversation. We had everything we needed. Our grandchildren loved the swings, the pond, and walking around the property. It's out in the country, but only 4 miles from the nearest Walmart. Loved it! We'll be back!

Amazingly Beautiful Retreat

When the listing is noted to be a Christian Retreat, how true that is! The tranquil environment away from town and distractions sure made this home a "retreat" of the best kind! The owners were very responsive, and even prayed over my elderly parents who were with me. The fridge was stocked with food which allowed us to spend more time in rather than having to go out to eat or cook. Definitely will be back! Thanks so much for an incredible and blessed few days at your home.

Amazing

The home, property, lake, gazebo, playground and paddle boat were Fantastic! One my most appreciated aspects of the home was... NO tv in the home. No distraction from the Beautiful nature and fishing, spending good quality time with family. This stay was rejuvenating and gave us a new appreciation for Country living. We will definitely plan another stay here. The hosts went above and beyond and we are grateful!

Peaceful

This is an amazing place to stay if you are looking for peace and quiet! The only reason I gave it 4 stars for location was because of the dirt roads to get there. It is in the piney woods. We did however learn a different way to go to get out that didn't require so many dirt roads. The house is amazing! Every convenience you could possibly want or need. If I had one criticism it would be to put towel hooks by the shower. We love George and Brenda. They are amazing Godly people. We would definitely stay here again.
