This was a vacation that our children and the adults will always remember. We celebrated my Dad's 70th birthday with a total of 13 family members. The home was beautiful with a wonderful layout and many rooms to accomodate all of us. The kitchen was well stocked with all the essentials to cook. The view was "Heaven" and we enjoyed eating breakfast, lunch and dinner on the porch with the spectacular view. Our children enjoyed the boat that we were able to use on Lake Burton with the youngest child learning to knee board. There were many walks that we enjoyed on the trails around the home and we experienced several days on Chattooga River on rafts and duckies and the great shops in the quaint town in Clayton, GA. We look forward to returning next year!

Florida Family Mountain Mesmerized!

We were definitely " Almost in Heaven " as we sat on the beautifully furnished porches and witnessed the beauty of God's handiwork. The mountain view was gorgeous and it was so peaceful to see the winding lake especially at sunset. As we came up the curving, steep road to the house we stopped and befriended two box turtles we would have loved to take home with us! Our large family consisted of grandparents, grown children and children ranging from young ones to teens and we all ventured out each day to some new adventure! The well-maintained pontoon boat was a huge hit as we tubed, kneeboarded and skied! The swimming hole by the lake was lots of fun for the kids. After checking out Helen,falls,gorges and lots of day trips we would settle in for evenings of hot cocoa,popcorn, games, and family comraderie in front of the fireplace. It was truly a blessing to have everyone together making unforgettable memories. The house and furnishings were lovely and we are grateful to the Jones family for sharing their home so that others can share in the blessings of God's bounty. Come and visit and you will feel "Almost in Heaven!"

We rented this house for our wedding celebration weekend! Three couples and two children stayed here and there was room left to spare! It is in a very centralized location for traveling to Lake Burton or Clayton GA. Our family did not want to leave this heavenly place! We also rented two other houses, one was on Rainwater Trail (very close to this house).. The other house was on Lake Burton at 1025 Perrin Cove Road and there we ran out of water the first night after two baths (never re-gained water for the entire stay), so our guests (family and friends) were fortunately able to take showers here and never run out of water! We had a blast on the pontoon boat, it was in perfect working order and condition. We would definitely rent this home again! Just Beautiful!
