Cannot begin to discribe what a lovely home "Blessings" is. We had such a wonderful time with friends and family enjoying our time at Reynolds Plantation. Blessings is equipped with everything you might need for fantastic getaway. Lots of extras as well. The bathrobes were a very nice touch and you will understand after spending time in the amazing steam room that can accomadate eight. From the location to the decor nothing is missing in this home. Rena was a pleasure to work with and made everything so easy for our lake getaway. Can't wait to return in the winter for a girls weekend.

"Blessings" left all of us feeling absolutely blessed; we had a remarkable time. Simply put - this home is wonderful!! If pictures say a thousand words, experiencing "Blessings" is worth a million memories. The decorations are beautiful and we had plenty of room to gather and fellowship. The layout and the amenities in the home were very accommodating of all our needs. The beds were comfy and the kitchen area was magnificent. When we entered the home there was an immediate warmth and inviting spirit - it felt like home. Rena is a joy to work with and very responsive. Many thanks to Rena and her family for allowing us to stay in their beautiful home. This venue is a number one choice for our future Girls Weekends.

Owner response:We are grateful, as always, to those who take the time to express their gratitude or even offer up constructive criticism, which thankfully, we have not yet had. Many thanks to this group of lovely ladies for choosing our home for their weekend getaway and for their careful consideration while staying there. We have been blessed, as our home is appropriately named, with so many wonderful guests and look forward to having them come again and again and again.

‘Blessings’ exudes a “welcome home” feeling that was unmatched in all of our previous lake home vacations. The home design and beautiful décor combine to create an environment that is perfect for bringing family and friends closer together. This large home is dwarfed by 100 ft. pines and lush green canopy; deer were literally everywhere! In addition to the home, we enjoyed boating, fishing, golf, shopping, and even toured a plantation house. ‘Blessings’ was the perfect getaway; thank you Rena!

Our group of eight golfers really enjoyed the home and the Reynolds plantation experience. The space was great with plenty of common space to go along with six bedrooms which allowed almost everyone in our group to have a private bedroom. Rena did a great job coordinating the rental including booking tee times and getting their boat ready for us. We also enjoyed the pool table, big tvs, grill, deck, and steam shower. Definitely will be back.

The house was beautiful inside and out. The owner promptly answered all of our questions - we are last minute planners. We wanted to bring our entire family up to this area. There were 8 adults and 6 grandchildren so there were beds for everyone. We had a great time cooking together in the beautiful kitchen. Played volleyball in the back yard. Took the pontoon boat out every day enjoying the lake fishing and swimming. There was room for all of us to either be together or doing different things. I can't even count how many deer and other wildlife we saw in the area, the kids especially liked that! The back porches were a great place to sit in the morning enjoying coffee and reading and watching the birds come up to all the bird feeders in the back yard. Very close to the grocery store. We fixed and ate almost all of our meals at the house. Our family is still talking about what a great time we all had - we all definitely hope to be able to stay there again, hopefully sometime in the fall.

Owner response:Apparently wonderful memories were made and the entire family enjoyed their stay. We are so grateful to those who take the time to let us know how much they enjoyed their home.

I had the pleasure of spending this Thanksgiving at this wonderful home. The open floor plan and large kitchen allowed our family to have many fun memories united together. The outside screened porch was my favorite. The porch is tastefully decorated and allowed hours of relaxing time viewing nature. Blessings is an appropriate name for this beautiful lake home. I look forward to our next visit. Brenda

Owner response:Dear Mrs. Bush, Thank you for your kind words and for choosing "Blessings" as your home for the holidays. The porch, is my favorite "special place" and I have spent many peaceful hours among the deer, birds and squirrels reading, mediating and napping. I eargerly look forward to working with you and your family in planning future visits to our lake home. Thank you and Best Wishes.

What an absolutely beautiful, warm and charming home. I had the pleasure of spending a few days at "Blessings" and the relaxation it provided was immeasurable. From the exquisite details in the inviting kitchen to the peaceful screened in porch with its inviting lounges to the exciting games on the lower level, every moment was simply wonderful. I look forward to visiting again and exploring even more of the property and the surrounding community at Reynolds Plantation. I highly recommend this home for anyone with exceptional taste and a need for the warmth of its natural surroundings.

Owner response:Dear Adam, Thank you for your praise and kind words. "Blessings" has proven magical for so many families since we began renting and we are delighted to get such raves. It pleases us greatly knowing that you had a wonderful time and that our home presented you with a haven of peace and comfort. Best Wishes

"Blessings" a name well suited for this "little piece of heaven". The open floor plan allows for wonderful memories while the whole family gathers together to either cook, eat or simply relax and enjoy the beauty outside. The kids have their own place down stairs as it is fully equipped with a pool table, large TV and many bedrooms to get a way for quiet reading, while the adults stay upstairs sharing time. There is so much to do at Reynolds Plantation you will never want to go home. My family and I are excited about our next time at "Blessings". ~ Barbara Martens

Owner response:Dear Barbara, Thank you for your kind words and I am so delighted to know that you and your family enjoyed our home. So many of our family's memorable moments were captured at "Blessings" and to know that other families will have memories that include our home makes it even more special to us. Thank you again, and I look forward to assisting you with securing more time. Best Wishes

Upon arrival at Reynold's Plantation, one is greeted by a beautifully forested expanse of lush trees, meandering roads, breathtaking natural beauty and a feeling of utter tranquility. Walking into the residence is further confirmation that the outside is just the beginning of a visual and memorable visit to a home that is open, gracious and filled with "plantation-level" hospitality. Whether it is the "gathering" island kitchen which draws guests, the porch for viewing the deer and her fawns, the energizing steam room or any of the many features of this inspired home, my visit was a treat. Thank you for sharing your home. It was grand!

Owner response:Dear Dianna, You have such a lovely lyrical way of describing our home and I am grateful that you took the time to share your beautfiul memories and sentiments with other guests who may be encouraged, because of your comments, to experience our home as well. Thank you and I hope that you will come back soon. Best wishes

Living on the Gulf of Mexico, I thought I could never find another place to take a little vacation away from home. But, I found it at Blessings in Reynolds Plantation. It is a home away from home; better in some ways. Blessings is a serene and immaculent place nestled in the trees. I love the screened in porch where i go to meditate and watch the wildlife. So, serene that one cannot help to offer thanksgiving for such a luxury. I would highly recommend staying at Blessings!

Owner response:Dear Judi, I'm am so delighted to hear that your visit to "Blessings" surpassed your expectations. There's a lot to be said about "porch-life"-a cup of joe and a great book and your day's off to the best of starts. Thank you for your recommendation and I hope that you and your family choose "Blessings" for future retreats. Best Wishes

Are you looking for serenity, peace and quite, a place where you can just relax and unwind in sheer comfort? Then this is the place for you! Tucked between trees and set just steps away from a peaceful lake, deer and birds enjoy this lush setting. I have to admit that my favorite time was early morning sipping my coffee, on the enclosed balcony, while watching nature peacefully unfold before my eyes. My four year old daughter loved playing hide-n-seek in this spacious two story home. Whether one is looking to write a book or simply re-connect with family and friends this "home away from home" will leave one not saying "good-bye" but "until we meet again." Thank you so much for sharing the beauty of your home with my daughter, friends and I we simply can not wait to "meet again!"

Owner response:Dear Melissa, Thank you for your beautiful narrative and kind words. I'm delighted that all of you had a wonderful time at "Blessings" and that your daughter had a lovely time as well. We have tried to make our home as "child friendly" as possible without compromising the aesthetics and "comfort features" that appeal to adults. We hope that you all will come again and look forward to working with you on securing that next reservation. Best Wishes

This home in Reynold's Plantation is beautifully decorated, and has every amenity available to make your stay incredibly relaxing. I have returned multiple times, and look forward to each visit. The lake is just steps away,(perfect for a cocktail at sunset) and "chilling" on the comfy, fully furnished screened porch is "just what the doctor ordered"! Area activities and amenities too many to list, but ALWAYS something fun to fill your days and evenings. It is apparent that the owners take great pride in this home are sure to make their "visitors" feel at home, as well. For all the comforts of home, away from home, this is the place.

Owner response:Thank you, Mrs. Little for your kind remarks and for yet another stay in our home. We do take pride in how our home appears and make every attempt to see that our guests are comfortable and content. Best Wishes and we look forward to having you again.
