    • We had the most wonderful stay at this fabulous farmhouse retreat in beautiful northwest Georgia. It could not have been more relaxing; everything was just as you would hope for, and the owners made sure that our every need or wish was provided. We will return many times, and will encourage our friends and family to come enjoy this lovely country farmhouse retreat.

    • A trip back to yesteryear... The house was neat and clean, the setting was serene. We didn't get a chance to take advantage of the sunset but I am sure it was beautiful. We will stay again if we are in the area.

    • Flarity House is ideal for a relaxing retreat. The porch swing offers great sunset views and the house has every comfort of home. Our two boxer puppies, Mercy and Cassius (Cash) are also big fans. They love to run wild in the fields and the owners offer a great back porch set up for pets including food and water. We've enjoyed this house on two different occasions and we will be back.

    • The farmhouse was just what we needed. Several ladies went for a spiritual retreat, and what a retreat it was! The house met all our needs. The property was gorgeous and the peaceful scenery was heavenly. We will definitely be back.

    • This farmhouse had everything we were looking for in a vacation! The peaceful surroundings and clean, crisp air make this place a refuge to forget the hustle of everyday life. The old-timey fireplace is an experience alone! We enjoyed walking the grounds of the property, and we got some great photos of the old barns. The pond is a great place for energetic dogs (like mine) to play… and the beds sleep great! We’ll be back!

    • This is the most wonderful retreat! Not only is it the idyllic Georgia farmhouse, complete with roaring fireplace, and peaceful views, but the host is the quintessential southern gentleman. I felt so at home, and you will too. You will not find a better place to find solace!
