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 Jasper
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!
Met our expectations and more!
My family of four and our friends (another family of four) all stayed for four days in this Jasper cabin and absolutely enjoyed EVERY minute of our stay. Two adult couples occupied the master bed/bath and the private bedroom downstairs with the queen, two teenage sons stayed in the room with the two twin beds, 1 teenage daughter occupied the den with the pullout, and one 18 year old son slept on a twin blow up bed of our own in the downstairs living room area. We all had plenty of space and definitely enjoyed the ample counter-top and dining table space as we cooked and ate together. The kids GREATLY appreciated the free-wifi and every single amenity listed at the cabin was easy to access and in perfect working order. We also greatly appreciated being able to bring our two dogs who slept every night nestled in their crates (which we put blankets under so as not to scratch the beautiful wood floors). The community and premises were beautiful and we enjoyed taking the dogs on walks to the lake, and we also were grateful to find a super-Walmart within 20-30 minutes of the cabin so we could stock-up on food for the week before heading up the hill to Bent Tree. The 19th Hole Restaurant was quaint and had the BEST hamburgers I've ever gotten at a restaurant and the local BBQ restaurant was a fun night out as well. Communication with the owners was great and we didn't encounter a single issue during our stay. Overall we were extremely pleased with choosing this cabin (being that I spent hours on Homeaway and even created a spreadsheet with various options which led me to choosing the one that best suited our needs). We would definitely love to return in the future and recommend it to others who are looking to get away.
Perfect location!
My family stayed in this lovely cabin for a week at Thanksgiving. It was the perfect space to accommodate all of our extended family. The cabin is immaculately clean and very well stocked with everything you will need to enjoy your stay. The beds and linens are comfortable. I don't recommend the sleeper sofa except for the tiniest of guests. Typical sleeper, you feel the bars right through the mattress. Loved being so close to the 19th Hole. We picked up pizza one night and enjoyed a burger there another. The Last Catch in Jasper is a not to be missed dinner or lunch! Fantastic find! The Carriage House serves a great breakfast in town. We would definitely stay here again.
Beautiful cabin in a beautiful community!
We loved our weekend in the Bent Tree community! The cabin was beautiful and so were the surroundings. We enjoyed breakfast at the 19th Hole right on the golf course. We also enjoyed visiting the horse stable and exploring the lake, spillway, and creek. We will be back!
Perfect for our stay!
My daughter's wedding was held at Bent Tree-Club Tamarack so "The Best of Everything" was in a great location, provided the amenities we needed and was very clean. We appreciated that the owners were very welcoming and provided all of the information we needed for our visit. It was great!
Very clean and charming!
Just what we needed for a Bent Tree wedding weekend. It would be great for a longer stay as well. Short walk to the 19th Hole restaurant, golf club, and the lake pavilion, beach, etc. Very well equipped. We would stay here again!
