What a Perfect Getaway Spot
There were about 25 or so of us who got to experience the Lodge at Walnut Grove. To say it was above and beyond and completely exceeded our expectations would still be an understatement. The place was spectacular and immaculate. Every detail and amenity accounted for. We were there for a songwriting retreat, and apart from the ample space that we had, it also was simply inspiring because of the sheer beauty that we were surrounded by. We truly truly loved getting to stay here and enjoyed everything about it - start to finish. Thank you so much for creating such a wonderful place for people to stay in.

Best weekend Office retreat
We absolutely love this property and the high end details. Weather would never be an issue here bc there is so much to do. We really appreciated how beautifully appointed the home was for every guest and every bedroom and bathroom was amazing. Heidi and Dee were absolutely wonderful to work with and went out of their way to make our stay perfect! We 100% recommend this property for groups and will be back!

Amazing for our retreat
This was perfect for our work retreat. The space is large enough to accommodate several working meetings at one time and that each room in the main house has its own bath was a definite plus. All the information in the guidebook was so helpful for facilitating meals. We will do this again!

Fantastic place to stay
Our family had the best stay at The Lodge at Walnut Grove to celebrate a 75th birthday. The home was beautifully decorated and stocked with way more than we expected, inside and outside. We have nothing but good things to say about our stay and can't wait to visit again with our huge family.

Amazing property!!
I brought my office here for a fall retreat and it was amazing. This property surpassed all other VRBOs I’ve ever stayed at. The attention to detail and proactive approach to stocking the house with items we may need was impressive. I had plans to do things in town but didn’t leave all weekend. We spent a ton of time at the outdoor fire place…it was easy since wood is delivered everyday. The quiet, relaxing luxury was exactly what I was looking for and that is what we got. Heidi did a great job communicating with me for check in/out. I will definitely be staying again in the future.

The most amazing place to stay for a work trip!
The house is amazing! They think of every detail from the comfort of the rooms, individual bathrooms, keurig in each room. We were there for a budget camp so the work space was amazing. Also the kitchen is full equipped with everything you could need. If you have an issue their response time is impeccable. We are already booking again for next year!

Incredible Experience for our Family and Friends
Our stay at The Lodge at Walnut Grove was truly memorable. The Lodge was immaculate, with exemplary attention to detail throughout the property. The craftsmanship is stunning and the furnishings are luxurious, creating a comfortably elegant and adventurous experience for our family and friends. We hiked all the trails, played in the creek, and used the grill, smoker and fireplace! The kitchen was a dream for our family and made it so easy to create a fun, easy-going atmosphere for our vacation. The property managers were easy and prompt to communicate with and attentive to our family. We highly recommend The Lodge at Walnut Grove to anyone wanting to create a special experience in the mountains of North Georgia. We can't wait to return!

This property is absolutely stunning! The pictures don’t do it justice at all. We came for a family vacation and it was perfect. We had the best time and didn’t even have to leave the property. Sara was great at checking in and going through the whole house when we got there with us showing us all the things to do. The catch and release pond was a huge hit as well as the perfectly marked trails. We cannot say enough about how amazing this property is. We plan of coming back next year!

Just Wow… Perfect Weekend Retreat!
So many amazing things about this property! First of all, the property manager Brenton is on top of every detail. From the fully stocked smores kit to the driving directions there was not one thing missing. Some properties you have to bring your own coffee, trash bags, etc. NOT HERE! There are hiking trails on property along the gorgeous stream and pond. The SONOs whole house system worked perfectly and there were robes in every closet. Cannot wait to go back again!
