About Ken Portwood and Stacy Miles
Ken's story: As a full time residential appraiser, I have worked in the area for many years and fell in love with Bent Tree over twenty years ago. I purchased the home in the early 1990's and have played tennis here for as long. The area remains one of the most scenic areas I know of with amenities that make it very attractive for vacationing and also for retirement.
Stacy's Story: As Ken's fiancé, I first saw this home in Late 2012 when a long term renter suddenly left. What appeared initially to be a stroke of financial misfortune turned in to a unexpected and delightful blessing. It was immediately clear that underneath the previous 40 years of siding and flooring, the general structure had a very interesting floor plan and soaring exposed beam ceilings that made for a delightful weekend get away home. We bought a 'Zaw Saw' Memorial Day Weekend 2013 - with no idea how to use it - and spent the next 9 months renovating the top floor of this wonderful old home in the very best location. With the proximity to the lake for relaxing, kayaking, fishing and the closeness of the 19th Hole for Golf and easy and always good refreshments, we decided to open the completed top floor of the home to short term rental as we continued work on renovating the basement. Well in advance of our schedule, we completed the basement renovation and added a laundry room, bedroom, HVAC and redo of an existing bedroom. Next year or sooner, we will tackle the landscape and our parking and storage for important items like a canoe and a golf cart. Hopefully, we are creating a space perfect for families and couples and golfers looking for a special place to return year after year.
Ken Portwood and Stacy Miles purchased this house in 1992
Why Ken Portwood and Stacy Miles chose Northwest High Country
This home was one of the first homes built in Bent Tree in 1972. It remained a long term rental home until late 2013 when we decided to renovate from floor to rafter. The home's closeness to Atlanta and ideal local location to all Bent Tree amenities allows for an entire week or weekend spent without ever needing to drive anywhere in a car.

Perfect family vacation
We stayed for 2 weeks at Stacy & Ken house which was absolutely perfect for our family and the location Bent Tree is an amazing place where you have something to do for each one in the family. We enjoyed every minute!
Perfect
The house was beautiful, clean and well appointed. The location was beautiful.
New 2017 Year!
Nine of us enjoyed stay for 3 days at the cabin. We appreciate the house condition and décor for the winter season. All appliances are functional, clean air, the surfaces free from dust. The dining area fit for all of us to make nice New Year celebration.
This cabin is not large and we used each little corner of it, especially the weather this time of the year kept us inside. We had a great time with the fireplace, TV, and table games.
I will suggest rent this property for smaller amount of people. Eight adults fit perfect. If you have a larger company the air matrass and the linen generously provided. We found lots of great quality soft clean towels. Five of the bed matrasses are great to rest. The office couch is good for office. I would avoid using it as the night bed.
In case you will get to the subdivision from Back Gate, ask the code number from owner in advance.
The cabin located walking distance from the beautiful lake in the park with trails and beach.
Thanks Stacy and Ken for the hospitality, great place, and their availability for any questions about it.
Winter retreat
We had a wonderful time staying in this house. It was decorated beautifully and had different areas where we could do things together but enough space that we could split up and have time to ourselves. Would love to stay there again.
Lovely home!
The property is beautiful and was perfect for our three families. Everything we needed was provided. (We couldn't use the fireplace because of the drought.) We were able to walk to the Beaver Run Trail (beautiful - along a creek) and the Sallie Doss Trail from the property - a highlight of our weekend. Interesting to note - there is a very tall pine nearby that many large birds roost in at evening time - probably vultures but fascinating none the less!
Beautifully decorated home. Nice community. Close to many fun things to do. Great fall trip.
Our family had a great time staying here.
