My brother got married at abbot mansion, this home was a perfect location for 13 family members to stay over the eventful weekend. The best part is having a cup of coffee on the porch listening to the river. My wife and i talked about coming back with the kids for a relaxing weekend. Would 100% book again. The host was very responsive to any questions we had
What a beautiful and very well appointed property! It was the absolute perfect size and location for our large family gathering prior to the wedding event held yesterday at lovely Terra Incognita Vineyard. We fell in love with the amazingly long main outdoor deck table which was large enough to seat us all at one time.Excellent communication is provided by the Host. He definitely earned a platinum star! Great place for family reunions. We highly recommend!!

We had a great stay. The house was amazing as was the view of the river. We are most likely going to make our stay here an annual event.
The cabin was so beautiful and fit the needs of our annual family getaway so perfectly! You couldn’t ask for better scenery. Owner was very responsive and communicative during the entire booking and stay.
Beautiful home and well appointed. The river view is just great with the sound of water sitting on the balcony. Great trip for our family of 15. Everyone enjoyed the stay and area.
The accommodation and space were perfect for our family of 11. The cabin is beautiful and amazing but the view felt like we hit the jackpot. We had one issue the first day but Rob was very attentive and communicative and did everything to solve it. Besides that we had an amazing time and will definitely come back this year.
Great place on the Chattahoochee. The home was perfect for our group. The driveway is very steep but other than that the house was a great find. Super clean, large, stocked with everything you can ask for. We would rent again..
Perfect location and size for our family….everyone had their own space and the table outside was big enough for all of us to sit around and eat together. An added bonus was the kayaks, tubes, and water shoes for all to use. Would definitely recommend.
This place was by far the best place we had stayed in the area vrbo of each visit to TMU campus. Would highly recommend. Spacious and took care of alot of people, everything inside brand new. Wonderful host ! Will be back
We loved our family reunion on the Chattahoochee river. This home offered an amazing experience with it's amenities and location. We tubed down the river, sat around the fire to rebuild our connections. Rob was a great host.
This was our annual family gathering. We went hiking, tubing, played in the hot tub, played in the river, visited Helen, played games, had pool and corn hole tournaments, worked puzzles and thoroughly enjoyed this beautiful, well equipped house on the Chattahoochee. It was our first time to this area with the entire family. The host was very cooperative and quick to respond to our questions. We highly recommend this property.
The house is so beautiful. Located right on the water. Sitting on the porches listening to the rushing water was so serene. We hated leaving. We will definitely be back next year for our family vacay. The communication with the owner was excellent. He answered all my crazy questions promptly.

Thanks Maria.. I am glad you and your family had a great time! Look forward to hosting you again in the future. Rob
This was a very accommodating property. It was perfect for our 14 member family. The access to the river was amazing. We brought large float devices so we could float anytime we wanted. The large tables made it possible for all of us to eat at the same time. The view was absolutely amazing. Very comfortable beds. Love the fire pit with all the andorondeck chairs.
We went with a large group.. 3 families 6 adults and 9 kids ranging from 18 mths to 17 yrs old.. it was a total blast .. from waking up in the morning to deer in the yard.. to sitting on balcony drinking coffee and just absorbing the veiw and hearing the river roar.. then we realized we forgotten some items walmart was 15 minutes away.. but definitely amazing will be returning for sure Rob was amazing to communicate with via the vrbo and txt after we arrived..

Glad you and your families enjoyed your time at FireFly Retreat!

Our family of 14 had a great time and we had enough space for all of us. We loved the fire pit outside that we used nightly. The teenage boys loved the creek and did some fly fishing with there waders. My parents and another sister booked the house next to us so we had a great time with all our family. Kids loved the pool table and they even played some flag football outside. One of our favorite parts was the sounds of the creek, very peaceful, if it wasn't so cold I would have stayed on the back porch for hours. House was well stocked in the kitchen. We enjoyed our time away and being with Family. Thank you.
