Thanks for allowing us the opportunity to enjoy your wonderful home. The view from the back deck is one of the best in Bent Tree. Although it was too cold to grill out, we are looking forward to utilizing the deck and grill on our return in warmer weather. The sunsets during our stay were absolutely breathtaking. The house was very comfortable for us as a couple yet has plenty of space to accommodate a large family. This property is close to the lake and stables. The house was clean and well maintained and the photos are accurate. Our favorite restaurants in Jasper are the Woodbridge Inn and 81 Main. In Bent Tree you can spend your whole vacation utilizing the amenities available or you can leave Bent Tree and explore - Ellijay, Blue Ridge, Dahlonega, Helen and much more. We look forward to staying here again in the near future.

We had a wonderful time at Bent Tree for a family reunion weekend. I wish we had more time at this house, which was beautiful. It has a lovely view and plenty of room for our family to spread out. The children were thrilled with the play area downstairs. We did find the roads a bit intimidating when driving at night, but seeing so many deer about made up for it. Would love to have stayed longer. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

We had a wonderful stay...beautiful setting...lots of deer, but no bear...maybe that's a good thing. House is very comfortable and suitable for several couples. Some excitement after an anniversary party at the clubhouse...roads icy enough that we had to call Security to ferry us up the mountain 2 people at a time! Very exciting! Would love to visit again!

We spent a week at the Baker Mountain Home for New Year's 2008. The place is a peaceful, spacious and comfortable. Because it was very cold, we enjoyed building a fire every night in the fireplace. We hiked the trails around Bent Tree, visited with friends and just generally enjoyed the beauty of the mountains. Saw many deer and one red fox. Thank you for a great vacation!

We enjoyed your lovely home. We came up for 3 nights last weekend for our son's wedding. Our families rented 12 homes in Bent Tree and Big Canoe. Yours was the greatest! Spacious, clean and beautifully decorated. We invited the wedding party over on Friday evening for a little fellowship after the rehearsal dinner. They loved the game room!! The view is spectacular. It was too cool to enjoy the deck, can't wait to come back when we have more time to relax. The rabitts & squirrels love waffles!

This was a lovely home in a beautiful location. We had a family reunion and were joined by our 2 adult children and their families. Our grandchildren (ages 3,3 and 1) loved all the toys provided as well as walking in the leaves, playing on the playground, throwing stones in the creek and lake, seeing the deer and wild turkey and dancing on the deck. The house provided everything we needed for a relaxing and enjoyable week. There is plenty to do in the area: hike at the nearby state park, visit Stone Mountain and other sites in Atlanta (like the new aquarium), pan for gold and precious gems.
