Awesome family reunion

This property was absolutely perfect for our large family reunion. We had eight separate families with lots of young kids, so the extra space in this huge house was needed. The double kitchen certainly came in handy at meal time, and the two large dining tables were ideal. The large grounds, lake, fire pit, and endless games inside provided plenty to do for our large crowd. We will definitely be back!

Great Place for a Family Get Away

My family and I absolutely loved staying here. There was plenty of things to do. The lake was awesome and the villa was amazing. We had ages 6 months to 80 and everyone had a good time. The property manager was super nice and helped us all during our stay. It is definitely somewhere I would go again and planned to in the future.

Wonderful family accommodations

This was our 2nd family reunion visit and was just as good as our first. There is something to do for every age and space to spread out whether inside or out. Plenty of sleeping accommodations for all. The hostess is wonderful. This is a great place to escape life and spend time with family.

family reunion

the property is perfect to disconnect from the daily grind. every one had there own room. plenty of family space and the kitchen was perfect for our size group. a large collection can would be helpful to collect all of the cans and bottles separately from the regular trash as they take up a lot of space. the kitchen is well stocked with every thing you could need for meal preparation. we totally enjoyed our week there. it seemed short, wish we could have stayed longer.

Family Gathering

We had an absolutely fantastic time staying at Apollo Peaceful Retreat. The host went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay. From the moment we arrived, we felt welcome and appreciated the personal touches that made the place feel like a home away from home. Apollo Peaceful Retreat itself was spotless, beautifully maintained, and well-equipped with everything from kitchen essentials to cozy blankets for chilly evenings. The surroundings were serene, and we loved waking up to the peaceful sounds of nature each morning. The host was incredibly responsive, always available to answer our questions, and provided great recommendations for local activities and dining. Their attention to detail truly made our stay memorable. If you're looking for a place to unwind and recharge, this place is the perfect spot. We can’t recommend it enough, and we’ll definitely be back for another stay!

Thanksgiving Family Reunion

We had a fabulous reunion! The house was the perfect size. Plenty for everyone to do separately and together. The space and amenities were outstanding. I’ve never seen such a fully stocked kitchen!!! Only glitch was the cleaning crew didn’t clean the grease out of one of the ovens and it caused quite a bit of smoke when we turned it on. We did our best to clean it ourselves so we could use both ovens for Thanksgiving dinner. Heidi was so apologetic and if she could have gotten cleaners back over there she would have. Plenty of toys, tons of books, and games for all ages. The fire pit in the gazebo was a huge hit. Looking forward to going back for another reunion!

Beautiful property

Our family really loved the property, despite the few maintenance & pest problems that arose while we were there (one of the rooms smelled of mold as noted by two of my family members). We appreciated the prompt response to our concerns & the initative taken to compensate us for the inconveniences we encountered, during our stay. We had an amazing time there. There was so much to do and explore (fishing, kayaking, canoeing, games, a playground for the kids, outdoor fire pit area, hiking trail, etc.). We are looking forward to visiting this amazing property in the future. We loved Apollo's Villa!🤗

Great time at Apollo’s Villa!

If you want to get away from the hustle and bustle, Apollos Villa is for you! 26 of our family members stayed for a week and had a great time. The owner was responsive to any needs we had. The house is laid out very nicely for people to have their own space and the kitchen is fantastic for a big group. Groups enjoyed the covered porch, as well as the fire pit and playing in the water off the dock. There are plenty of things to do in the house which is filled with games, books, and movies and there are outdoor activities as well. Thanks for an awesome family vacay Apollos Villa!

Just right for a gathering of family and friends!

Apollo's Villa was so well laid out for our group of 17. There was a great kitchen for preparing meals and gathering together! Also, we found plenty of space to spread out and relax in the game room, bar, movie room and other living areas. We all enjoyed sitting out on the porch and the outdoor fishing as well as use of the kayaks. The house was unique with so many interesting things to discover and there were several places to explore within a 45-minute drive in case you wanted to take a day trip. Did I mention this place was spotless? I highly recommend.

Perfect for our family reunion

Our family reunion included all ages—baby to grandparents—and everyone loved this gem of a rental. We decided the kitchens were the best stocked kitchens any of us had ever had in a vacation rental. So many bedrooms and bathrooms! The game room for the kids was excellent. In fact all of the supplies —whether for the inside or outside—were in excellent shape. Everyone enjoyed the lake, kayaks, and the canoe. We used the fire pit too. This place was honestly one of the best we’ve been to for a large reunion. A 10/10 for our family. Thank you!

Christmas Getaway

Our family really enjoyed our stay. The home was perfect for the amount of family we had. The amenities were perfect. The host was very responsive. I didn’t have to reach out to them for anything during our visit. Everything was laid out perfectly and I am impressed! We had lots of little kids and we didn’t have to bring any toys or anything to keep them occupied because the game room had activities for every age group. Of I had to suggest anything it would be for the home to have wifi extenders so that people are able to use or have access to more up to date movies via Netflix or other apps. However even with the limited wifi, our phones still worked and there were plenty of access to DVDs for people to enjoy. Our stay was a 10/10. Thank you to the owners!

Family reunion

This property is even nicer than the photos. The kitchen is very well stocked, including spices, beyond what I typically see in VRBO properties. The pond is great. Screened in porch is a must. The S Georgia sand knats are incessant and prohibit a lot of time outside at certain times of the day. The property was perfect outside of two rooms not having AC, which was pointed out in review of previous renter. Owner had supplied fans, but folks couldn’t sleep in those two rooms and ended up using couches or the floor. Once this is fixed it will be awesome.

Apollo's Villa - Peaceful Country Retreat was exactly as described in the listing. The owner/host provided everything we could possibly require and more. This was by far the most accommodating property I’ve rented. The house was exquisite just as described, perfect location, plenty of amenities and was more beautiful and comfortable than expected. The house is exceptionally clean and extremely well stocked. Finally a VRBO that lives up to expectations and beyond. By far the nicest of any we stayed in before. Stylish beyond belief. Great location, great seating areas inside and outside. The kitchen is a cook's dream, fantastic appliances, and top of the line utensils, pots and pans-more than enough to satisfy any cook. It has every possible kitchen tool/utensil/pot/pan etc.… you could ask for. It made eating in an absolute breeze. It was amazing, huge, and easy to find items because of the exceptional and thought out labeling of cabinets and drawers. We were so impressed and happy with this property. We loved our stay! We had 17 people on this trip and had plenty of room to hang out and bond. The houses were so well thought out, extremely comfortable and had all the amenities we needed. There is so much space, we never felt crowded! The game room, theater room and bar was the icing on the cake. There were so many places for everyone to enjoy quiet and group conversations in a comfortable and relaxing setting. Hiedi is a fantastic host. She was very accommodating, helpful, friendly, kind, prompt and helped us with every aspect of our reservation and stay. We had an amazing time at Apollo's Villa - Peaceful Country and definitely plan on making this an annual vacation spot.
