"The Twisted Branch" lodge at Bent Tree

Come relax by the fireplace, poor yourself a glass of wine and let the stress of the world slip away.

Schedule a horseback riding lesson, or trail ride right in the neighborhood (Contact Bent Tree Stables for rates and availability). Spend the afternoon fishing for trout, channel catfish or bass on Lake Tamarack. Have dinner and drinks at "The Tavern at the 19th Hole". Enjoy the sunset among the forest on the comfortable screened porch, then retire to the fireplace with a glass of wine.

Twisted Branch

Great location! Walking distance to pool for ease of taking littles for a quick dip. Enjoyed the space and the opportunity to see the wildlife walk right past you! Very well stocked and organized household made the stay easier without having the need to bring the necessities. Plenty of space for our group of 7 to enjoy and relax and still keep the kids entertained.

Beautiful house and location

We really enjoyed our stay. The house had everything we needed. The bedrooms each had a bathroom, which was a big plus. Plenty of space for everyone. There is an abundance of wildlife. We saw many deer, bears and turkeys. One day a bear actually walked down the back steps, so be cautious! The Bent Tree community has much to offer. The pools and tennis courts are not far from the house. It's a beautiful area. We a wonderful time there.

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.

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!

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!

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

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 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
