About the host
Hosted by Brandon Liesenfelt
My parents purchased this property for the quiet and peaceful location in the mountains. My wife and I manage the property along with Linda's Place next door. We love this location for great family getaways and think you will too!
Why they chose this property
We love the private community, the serene location, and that it is in the mountains but only a short drive to great places like Ellijay and Blue Ridge! The location offers peace and quiet but also amenities like Smart TVs and Wifi. Walnut Mountain allows their guests to use their 4 private lakes to fish without a license, play tennis, basketball, or swim in their community pool during the summer all complimentary.
What makes this property unique
The whole family can safely enjoy this property nestled in the woods. It is nice to have the tennis courts, basketball court, and kids play area only a short drive from our location. We also love the communal olympic swimming pool in the summer. The lakes are great for fishing and there are plenty of hiking trails to explore and see the wildlife.
