About this house rental

Nestled in Warm Springs, this lovely house for $252 per night is a fantastic choice for your next vacation. This quaint home was built in 1953 and we have designed it as a quiet getaway spot for our family and guests. The Killian family has ties to the local history and FDR in Warm Springs. Now we are opening it up for others to enjoy. We want to thank our guests for making a breakout year at the Killian House. We had a visit from Sam Killian III the son of the builders of the house. We had a writing group with published authors, three wedding parties, families of graduates, history buffs, and just great people. The house is 1900 sq/ft and sits on a secluded 1.5 acre wooded lot on top of a hill above Warm Springs GA. We have seen deer, fox, and the always entertaining squirrels on the property. The tree surrounded lot is perfect for star gazing. Common Areas Cozy new furniture fills the rooms for long conversations or napping. The dining room seats 8 for candlelit dinners. The Den table is ready for snacks, games, and puzzles. Sit on the front porch with your morning coffee and watch the sun come up. The outdoor grill can prepare a large meal or just use the fire pit to roast marshmallows. Grab a snack and head to the back porch to talk and laugh as the sun sets. Killian House Retreat is the perfect quiet place to finish that research paper, spend time with family, work projects, girl's weekend, or wedding parties. There is room for private small retreats for work, school, or church. Kitchen The 50's style kitchen is newly updated but reminds your of Grandmother in her favorite spot. Bake your own cookies or have wine from the local winery with cheese to relax in comfort. Entertainment We have chosen not to have a TV in the Killian House Retreat. We use the house as a place to unplug, rejuvenate, and renew communications with each other. However, there is killer wifi with easy access all over the house. We created a blank wall and provided an easy to use video projector and speakers to experience that special movie, game, or cat video together. Surrounding Activities We are 15/20 minutes from Calloway Gardens. Many adventures await such as: Christmas Fantasy in Lights, golf, hiking, Gardens, Water ski events, Lakefront beach, Butterfly Gardens, and Treetop challenge course, biking, canoeing, and live raptor shows. FDR's Little White House is 1 minute away just down the hill. The historic pools that helped FDR refocus his life and body before his political career are at the bottom of the hill below his house. Take a tour of the Warm Springs Winery. The featured local wines are made from Scuppernong and Muscadine grapes. Taste the unique pepper infused "Hotlanta" wine. The Roosevelt State park borders the property. There are over 40 miles of trails in the park. Many trails lead to waterfalls along the hike. Beginners to advanced hikers will enjoy the trails. The Liberty Bell Pool is a great place for a day of swimming after hitting the trails. Antique shopping is abundant in Warm Springs and the many surrounding small towns. Being further from a large city the "finds" are plentiful. Restaurants abound in the local area. While we lost our historic Bullock House building, the owners have reopened in an historic downtown building. The food is just as good and the genuine welcoming nature of Warm Springs is still alive. Mac's Bar B Que is perfect southern fare. The Gardens Restaurant at Calloway makes for a beautiful night out. Only 30 minutes away is the riverfront in Columbus GA which offers 5 great restaurants along the beautifully restored walking park.

We went with friends for a weekend getaway. It was supposed to be a very rainy weekend. I communicated with the host about changing the dates; however, we decided to chance it. The host immediately offered to look at alternate available weekends, and when we told her we were coming despite the rain, she sent links to several indoor locations and festival information. She was very kind and helpful, and responded quickly. The property is beautiful and although it never rained, it was too wet to enjoy sitting outside, it was quiet and the views are stunning. We saw some deer on the drive up to the property. The house reminds me of my grandma's house. The bed was comfortable and the rooms are decorated nicely. They also took extra effort to make sure you have everything you need for your stay. You will never miss t.v. There are also games and books to read. The location is very close to Warm Springs, which is so charming and full of kind people. It is an easy and scenic drive to Callaway Gardens and Pine Mountain. We plan to return!

This is an older home in a quiet neighborhood. My only complaint was that the hot water went fast during a shower. Warm Springs is a small town do dining options in the late evening are slim.

The house is as pictured. The rooms are homey, nice and comfortable. There were plenty of towels and the beds were clean and comfy. There was a fire pit also, which we did not use as it was windy. We enjoyed the porches for just being in the outdoors and nature. It felt very private. Very close to area attractions. We were lucky enough to get in Carriage and Horses for Friday night and it was delicious! The Bulloch house was very good as well. We hope to visit again!

We absolutely loved staying in theis getaway home, the adults enjoyed the stay just as much as the kids! The best part was NO tv, the kids played board games and ran around the yard the entire time! Couldnt have asked for a better place to stay! Will definitely be back! Many thanks!!

We enjoyed the atmosphere at the property, learning the history behind the Killian as well as the town of Warm Springs. There was plenty of room and it was quite comfortable. However the place could use a little TLC as far as upkeep and cleanliness.

Located in the country you have privacy, and it is quiet. The woods around are beautiful. We were able to enjoy bonfires at night twice while staying there. Sitting on the porch, front or back, is such a wonderful experience and relaxing. Our grands did an early Easter Egg Hunt of Saturday and had a ball. Not having TV is an advantage. The house takes you back to a simpler time and has all the amenities you could ever need. When you enter the back door and open up the blinds you have a beautiful view. Perfect for eating and enjoying nature. Sleeping where it is so quiet is restful and the rooms are roomy. We highly recommend this if you are going to be in the area. We already miss it.
