This was a lovely little spot to spend a couple nights. Clean, quiet, private, beautifully furnished, comfortable beds and plenty of space for our party of six. Our family especially appreciated the large sectional and smart tv for watching movies together in the evening.

This place truly is a Hidden Gem, we loved our stay here. Lots of room, so many supplies left for guests to use. Cookware is actually good cookware, not 1 time use stuff. Decor and bedding is beautiful and tasteful. Great water pressure and just the right temp.

Great place to stay for the whole family.

The location was very peaceful and extremely comfortable and spacious inside. Our whole family, including both sets of grandparents were able to eat together and had places to sleep. A walk along the creek was serene and there were so many birds chirping every morning. Hidden Gem was a real blessing for our family.

Best accommodations

This property was off the beaten path and fairly secluded. Cleanliness was great. The house itself has a large layout, and we loved its spaciousness. Above all, the property owner's communication stood out. They were always responsive, helpful, and went above and beyond accommodating us, making our stay a true vacation.

Inviting and lovely

Our stay was amazing! We visited because our son was graduating OSUT at Ft Moore. This home was more than perfect for us, and the owner is just as lovely! She recommended us a great steakhouse as we showed up starving and it didn’t disappoint! We loved it so much, we brought our son back for lunch the next day! The beds are super comfortable and the water is super hot! Loved my morning showers! 10/10 recommend this home! We will def be back!

Clean, quite, great layout!

Property was even nicer in person, it had everything you need, just bring your clothes & enjoy! The Host was amazing with response time in 5 minutes or less & friendly and helpful... The property had a great layout with lots of room to hang out together, but also space for everyone's privacy. There is a Dollar General at the end of the street which was very convenient. If you're in the area & need a clean, comfortable place to stay then you should give them a try... you'll be happy you did.
