Perfect Spot for a Bestie Getaway! We found this gem for our annual bestie trip, and it was perfect! The location couldn’t be better, right by Lithia Springs Marina (literally 2 min drive). Nichole was amazing from the start, super helpful and friendly. The house is beautifully decorated and thoughtfully stocked with everything you could need.We grilled on the Blackstone, soaked in the hot tub, and had a blast with outdoor Jenga and cornhole. The kids loved spotting deer every day! There was plenty of space for our two families of five. Wi-fi worked great and they had tvs in both bedrooms. Bring bug spray if you’re visiting in the summer (though they had some too). We’d come back in a heartbeat!
