A Beautiful Retreat

So much to rave about...the beautiful home, the patio and upper deck overlooking the valley and mountains beyond, the massive front lawn for games, the pond for fishing, the "pub" (canoe house) for a game of darts, the hidden fairy garden, and the golf cart to explore the entire place were amazing. Be sure to get up for the sunrise and the launch of the chimney swifts and take advantage of the front lawn is for a game of croquet Thank you for sharing your beautiful retreat. We hope to return one day.

Perfect getaway

We enjoyed four wonderful days in this property. I’m a homebody and, for the first time I can remember, I wasn’t ready to go home after two days. The view was amazing, the house was beautifully decorated, clean, comfortable and well stocked with everything needed — down to the small flashlights throughout the house. The owner was very friendly and helpful in providing info on nearby stores and restaurants. We would definitely go back.

A Wonderful Stay

We had an absolutely wonderful time! The house is so well stocked. The house is beautiful down to every detail and there are no words for the view. The entire property was breathtaking and one of a kind. I literally can not wait to return. Ms.Cheryl was so wonderful, kind, informative about the area, and attentive. We definitely made a life time of memories!

Wonderful weekend away

We stayed there for a long weekend and enjoyed it immensely. The host is great - very responsive, provides a lot of tips on the area (restaurants, grocery stores, etc.). When we arrived, there were coffee k-cups and moon pies waiting for us. The property is fantastic. The view from one side is looking down on the valley. You can have fun examining the farms and towns below you with a pair of binoculars, or just sit back and watch storms grow and decline from 20-30 miles off. It's also a fantastic place to see the sun come up in the morning over the fog-filled valleys. On the other side of the house is a cozy forest meadow, with a small lake, a fishing shack, and various hidden hangout spots. A golf cart is provided to navigate the area. The house itself is both comfy and spacious. It is also clean and well appointed down to the smallest detail. The kitchen has everything you might need for cooking, and bedrooms have very comfortable beds and plenty of towels, sheets, and toiletries. The 2 upstairs bedrooms share a full size deck with the same valley view as the patio below. We had a great weekend and are already making plans on coming back.

Unique Property

Beautifully maintained house and property. Spectacular views from the terrace . The approach is stunning.. Immaculately clean and well furnished. Although 95 with heat indexes higher in Atlanta was very pleasant on top of the mountain. Ate breakfast and dinner on the terrace every morning and evening. Hope to come back

This is a one-of-a-kind property! If you are searching for a place to rest and relax with magnificent views of lush valleys, mountain tops, and stunning sunrises... you will not be disappointed!

Coronavirus take this!

This home is a high end property. From the appliances to the dishes and cookware. The furniture is also quality with 4 recliners and leather couch and sofa. The view however is the thing that can't be replicated. No trees to block the view of the valley below. Plenty of privacy and space to be outside.

And a good time was had by all.

The view was spectacular and enjoyed by all. Each of our family had something extra they enjoyed. Fishing for hubby and the fireplace for me. The meadow for flying r/c plane and golf cart for exploring for our adult boys. The extra room in the carriage house allowed for privacy for our married son.

Wonderful mountain-top getaway

Kelloree is a beautiful property. The owner has attended to every detail to ensure a wonderful stay. Lovely home...gorgeous views...excellent kitchen...fishing pond...very cool canoe bar... golf cart for riding around the property... we will return! We were up there to pick children up from summer camp. This was the perfect location for camps in Georgia and Northeast Alabama.

Even Better Than Advertised!

Everything was fantastic, the pictures and descriptions do not do this place justice. We came in town for a wedding and had a fantastic time at this place. Only regret was that we were here only for a weekend. Hope to return for an extended stay. Cheryl, the host, was so easy to work with ... thanks again

This beautiful property with the breathe taking view made our family memories "extra" special!

We had our Family Christmas Dinner here. The home is emaculat! The view is breathe taking! Balcony access from the bedrooms is a plus to have a cup of coffee or hot cocoa to watch the sun come up. From the wide open lawn space, to the lake, canoe bar (s'mores), fire pit, to the personal and warm feeling of your own home. A lot of detail ; accessories to starting the fire place, well equipped kitchen,. games for family bonding. Easy access to town. Would definitely recommend to couples or families for special occasions.. Would love to come back to experience the bed and breakfast. Thank you for making it easier, and in a more relaxed setting,, create some "extra" special memories to cherish!

Wonderful Property, Wonderful Owners

I rented this property for my wedding weekend for the bridesmaids. The photos online do not do it justice. The house and surrounding property are SO beautiful. The living room furniture is extra comfortable and luxurious, and the kitchen is stocked with quality pans. Our only regret was that with all the wedding festivities, we wish we had more time to enjoy the beautiful property! We will definitely be returning when we can spend more time. The property would be great to rent for a family holiday or a girls weekend getaway. I got to meet the owner, Cheryl, upon arrival and she could not have been more warm and welcoming. You will not be disappointed if you rent this place!
