Country Lodge Getaway

Four gals and our dogs rented this house to rest and regroup after competing in agility at the AKC Nationals in Perry, which was a short, easy drive. As soon as we drove down the driveway and saw the property we knew it would be perfect. The grounds had plenty of trees, grass and its own private lake so the dogs were able to run free and explore. The house itself was beyond our wildest hopes. The layout of the living area with the kitchen, living room and screened in porch was spacious and let us cook and have conversations at the same time. The kitchen had everything we needed. Sleeping arrangement we're also perfect with very comfortable beds. The house was immaculate! I would give it five stars plus. Being off the beaten path makes it heavenly. We would definitely rent this house again!

This home (it does feel like a home) is wonderful. It is very clean. Honestly, there is not much more to add than what the past reviews have written. I am just writing to say it is still all that it is described to be. It is much larger than it looks in the picture or when you drive up. Our family had many people in town from different places and this was so much better than a lot of hotels. The guest got to enjoy each other is a great home in a wonderful southern lodge. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

With Wide Open Spaces both inside and outside the house, this was a most relaxing place to spend our Sibling reunion. You could chose lounging in the comfort of the Lodge, walking through the quiet woods, or fishing in the lake. The beds were comfortable, there were plenty of pillows, and room for ten at the dining table. The open plan allowed for lots of conversation between the kitchen and seating areas. We were there in time to see the first peach blossoms at the nearby Lane Farms Peach Festival but spent most of our time on property, simply enjoying the water and the woods. I can certainly see returning to enjoy these abundant wide open spaces.

My brother's family and mine get together every year between Christmas and New Year's to celebrate life, with a getaway. We lost our other brother in 2003 and since that time we have gone to different areas, mostly in the Florida, Georgia, Alabama and Tennessee regions.

We found this place in 2014, but it was being used by family for the holidays. But, we were fortunate enough to be able to get it for 2015. This place is amazing! With the layout of the house and the architecture, you can tell someone planned this home with family in mind. I call it a home, because it seems much more than a cabin. It has 4 bedrooms downstairs and 2 upstairs with a game room that includes a pool table. The downstairs bedrooms are separated by a large living area, that is very comfortable and welcomes you to sit and visit. The screened in back porch is also inviting with plenty of sitting room. The kitchen is well equipped with everything you could possibly need for cooking, and we did quite a bit of that, since the weather didn't allow us to be outside, too much. But, we did venture down to the lake, which is very large and a wonderful place to sit on the dock and enjoy nature. My son-in-law caught a very nice bass and some bream, but they were not injured, so he threw them back for the next guest. Although, there was a very nice fish cleaning area, had we chose to keep them.

The owner was easy to reach and ready to answer any questions we might have had, but we did not need to call her for any extra's, because everything you could possibly need was provided.

There were 10 adults and 5 children, ranging from 15 - 2, and a good time was had by all. We have not stayed at the same place twice, but I think, we all agree this is definitely a place we would like to stay at again.

Our Thanksgiving family gathering was great. We had 8 adults and 7 kids for three days and nights and we had plenty of room. We had a few extra family members in for Thanksgiving day and still had plenty of room. The outdoor space was just as accommodating. Everything that you could possible need or want (for adults and kids) was provided.

The grandchildren (range in age from 1 year to 6 years) are already asking when we can go back. The son-in-laws are interested in going back for the hunting and fishing. My daughters and I enjoyed the peacefulness of the porches and the dock.

Thanks again for a wonderful gathering. We would definitely recommend this property.
