This place was a great fit for our big group. So much room for everyone to have their space. The big den was perfect to watch football and play games. Loved the big back porch and watching the donkeys were a big bonus. Wingate you were a great host!!
The place was unique. My grandson said This is amazing.We enjoyed ourselves. Maybe get new pots.We were there because of my mother's 90th birthday party. She lives at an assisted living in Athens. Wingate left her a card with the iron horse. She knows the store and enjoyed the picture very much. She wanted to make sure I let Wingate know.
It was absolutely perfect for our couples weekend getaway! The most beautiful, picturesque, peaceful location immersed in nature. And the house was equally as beautiful with everything we needed and more! To top it off, an amazing host who went above and beyond to make sure our weekend was exactly what we needed! Sitting by the fire pit at night laughing and telling stories, eating breakfast and drinking coffee on the front porch listening to birds, this home provided us with cherished memories! We can’t wait to come back again!
We had the best stay, ever! Wingate was the perfect on site manager. He responded to any request we had. He spent time talking with the children and the adults alike. The house was simply amazing! There was enough space for five separate households without it ever being cramped! It was equipped with everything we needed. We highly recommend.
We had a great stay! Wingate was an amazing host that was easily accessible and quick to respond. The home is beautiful with plenty of space and an amazing yard.
This was such an amazing find! The lodge itself is just gorgeous, with memorabilia from the early days of the Georgia Bulldogs football team that had all of us in a state of disbelief. Every amenity was provided, excellent stay!!!
been thought of.
This property was perfect for a football weekend. Beautiful location, great host, perfect for a large group. Wingate could not have been friendlier and more helpful. We would definitely go back in if in the Athens area.
We had the best time staying at the Oak Lodge for our daughter’s graduation. It has everything you need while being away from home. We had a great cookout and a couple really fun bonfires while getting to celebrate with family. Very comfortable beds and Wingate made sure we had all we needed and treated us like UGA royalty!
We were in Athens to celebrate a graduation and found this wonderful experience! The property is simply amazing! Everything is well taken care of. The rooms are spacious, the great room is huge and the porch is so relaxing. A real nature retreat!The property owner/caretaker is close by, but we never had a reason to call, as everything is so well thought out!By far, the best VRBO we have stayed at!Dwayne
We had a fantastic time. Great place to stay if you are visiting Athens or just want a relaxing time. The cabin was fabulous and we loved the donkeys who greeted us daily. We enjoyed the outdoor firepit. Having 2 kitchens was key for us to prepare our Thanksgiving dinner. We would definitely visit again. Thanks again Wingate!!
Our group of 8 adults could not have been more pleased with our stay. Plenty of space to gather in small groups, or all together in the main room. Well appointed amenities throughout, with an attention to cleaniness. Wingate, the owner, was extremely welcoming and happily shared information about his property. You can't go wrong by booking this property.
Wingate was a great host and the place was exactly what we needed for a large group. The house was remote, but we were looking for a place to reconnect with family from all over the US for our special weekend. I’m ready to go back!!!
Rented this home for a bachelor party for a long weekend. This home is perfect for family gatherings and large groups that would like to see a Georgia bulldog football game. The host was excellent and would definitely rent this home again and would recommend you rent it also.
Lovely lodge:warm, nostalgic, interesting and historical
We were welcomed by the host and we quickly
struck up a connection with the Seminole Lake area and even a familiar family member which made the place even more interesting.
The lodge is spacious with various areas to sleep. We only used one kitchen and it was well equipped with essentials. The bathrooms had plenty of linens and essentials in each bathroom. Definitely a 5 STAR!!
Wingate was an OUTSTANDING host and the best I've ever had at an VRBO!! Very secluded and large property with plenty of room for my entire crew/guest.
5+ stars for Wingate and the property.
Thank you Wingate!!

We were there for a family reunion and a bulldog game. Had a great time. The host came over and introduced himself, he's great! The place is very accommodating. The hot tub may need some attention because we couldn't get it to heat.maybe user error but we have a hot tub so i think we know what we're doing. That didn't take away from our enjoyment though.
We stayed at the lodge Thursday to Sunday. On Friday, we toured UGA and went to the football game on Saturday. It was great to get back to the country and have a BBQ, fire pit, few cocktails. 15 minutes from UGA. Great property!
We have stayed at many VRBO properties, but never met a more friendly and gracious host as Wingate! We have a large family, and this place was wonderful to celebrate our daughter’s graduation from UGA. My only recommendation is make sure you have majority of your items since a “grocery run” will not be a short trip. We will definitely book this place again!!!
