Beautiful Sunsets, Trails, Wildlife and All Out of Doors to enjoy

10/10 Excellent
"Things to consider if you are a large person. The place was great and we had a good time. There are a couple things that are a little bit more difficult to navigate being a large person. The master bed is very close to the window on one side. It leaves very little room to get in and out of bed depending on which side of the bed you typically sleep on. The bathroom is good. The access to the toilet is a little bit narrow for a larger person. These notes are not meant to discourage anyone. Just a heads up for larger individuals. We had a great time the kids loved the paddle boat. The deck is really nice. We really enjoyed sitting out there and watching nature as the sunset. I really liked the breakfast nook. That was super cool. Not something that you see in many houses if any. I could not seem to get the grill to work. The proximity to Atlanta was great. The host was great at communication. It was an easy check in and check out. I really appreciate that the house was very clean. They left an air purifier running, which was really nice of them. It did a great job on cleaning the air. We were there during the fires in Canada that put a lot of smoke into the area."

"Large resort with RV, log cabins and Yurts. Newer facility so everything was nice and clean. Would recommend better comforter (had throws in the room) and careful cleaning and supply replenishment (had to ask for shower gel and hand soap) as bottles were empty. Waterpark and some other amenities incurs extra fee. Restaurant closed on Monday so we were not able to use the food coupon."

"We got caught up in the Hilton power outage so our checkin was manual and slow. There were room mix ups, not getting the correct room configuration or being given a room that was already assigned. The lady at the desk was flustered but kept her composure and worked hard to get everything fixed. She truly saved the day. Note that rollaway beds or pullout couches are not available here."
