The views and setting is amazing. However, everything else is simply subpar…read more I attended a wedding at this venue and pulling in I was impressed with the natural beauty. Pulling in I saw a "check-in" area, but no one manning the station. I walked into the building and found a friendly woman who found someone to lead me to my villa. As we drove up to the building, again, it was attractive. My first inclination of things descending towards a negative experience was that there were no keys, we simply left the doors unlocked. I understand that it was isolated and all, but we had some expensive things that we were expected to leave to the wanderings of any person with less than honorable intentions. Another issue was that the villa was cold, like in the sixties cold and the thermostats were locked (I guess they did not trust their guests to set a proper temperature). The biggest issue that they simply would not correct, even after four separate complaints, was that there was a wasp nest directly outside of our door. Literally a foot from the front door. The wasps were swarming us as we tried to enter. Finally, after the fourth attempt to get this resolved, a man told me that we were in nature and this was part of nature. They claimed they sprayed it, but these wasps were perfectly fine to continue their harrassment of us. Fortunately, no one was stung. As for other things, my son's bathroom was missing a light cover for the ceiling light in his bathroom (I am sure a code violation) and the wall was cracked. There was a nice veranda, but when I placed my hand on the wood, it was rotted and crumbled under my hand. What if I learned against it? Well, fortunately, I didn't or I might have fallen down a considerable distance. The walking railings throughout the property had been pulled up by age. All they would need would be to be tightened down, but, again, they were left in neglect. Now for the wedding service. The church on property is beautiful. The minister my cousin flew in was wonderful, but the organist that the venue provided was not well versed on the organ. She literally butchered the wedding march. My son, who is a music teacher, and I discussed it and she played the song at the proficiency of perhaps an eight month student. I will say that she played better with the band at the cocktail hour, but my son even wondered if she was the only keyboardist in Clayton, Georgia. She did sing a lot better and did a decent job handling the pop standards with her singing, but her keyboard prowess definitely needed work. The wedding reception started off with the D.J.'s playing the wrong song for the couple's first dance. The food at the reception was simply awful. It was served buffer style. The tenderloin was nervy and tough, the shrimp and grits were more grits with a minuscule amount of shrimp chopped in (the shrimp is supposed to be placed over the grits), the chicken and waffles were below a standard I would hold for frozen TV dinners. The ranch dressing that was with the salad bar was pretty good. My niece also seen a big on the floor (I guess more of that nature thing). Again, the place is beautiful, but it is the lack of attention and concern for the guests that made me give it one star. Honestly, if I could give it minus stars, I would, it was that bad.

The parking could use some better signage. The food service went smoothly. Utilizing two lines is great. They squeezed far too many people in the room. Very claustrophobic. The bridal party table is located in front of the bathrooms. Rather awkward location. The sound system is AWFUL. If you want people to listen to you, they need to be able to hear you. The EMCEE needs to reduce the amount of corny jokes. We are here for the bride and groom, not you...sorry, not sorry. The plastic bags on the lights on the patio are super tacky. The use of real linens is very nice but I wish that had included linen napkins too (perhaps a client choice?)

We stayed here for a wedding recently and I was really pleased with the accommodations…read more First, let me say that I have no idea what this place costs. We didnt book or pay for our room, so I am clueless there. I would guess somewhere around $100 to $110 a night? Our room was great - huge king bed, jacuzzi tub, balcony access - my only thing is there isn't a shower. It wasn't the end of the world since our family was in the next room and we could sneak over there, but it wouldn't be ideal to be in that room for a weekend if you didn't know the neighbors. The breakfast spread was lovely - pastries, muffins, waffles, cereal, yogurt, granola bars, coffee, orange juice, apple juice - we definitely didn't leave hungry. My complaint about it is (of course) the floors and stairs are a bit squeaky. Probably fine if no one is above you or people aren't getting in late, but we had just laid down to go to bed and guests arrived for the room right above us. The property was lovely and the staff went above and beyond. We were there for the entire wedding - rehersal, wedding, reception - and had no issues.

The main facility, the King's Hotel, is fairly nice. The Griffith hotel is also nice. Their other facilities are quite dated. Expect something that was built in the 80s and has had minimal improvements since then. All things considered, it's as clean as something three decades old can be. They lost their lake several years ago, and that's hurt them considerably. Much of what was former trails and slides and docks is now closed. Therefore, if you have a youth group, there's not a lot of entertaining things to do: one sizeable open field, an old basketball court, a playground and a few tennis courts. No pool or other water facilities. Their auditorium and large facilities are not so hot. The soundboard is glitchy, as were their projectors. Our group had major issues with keycards working and with water pressure. If you're looking for a place to house a bunch of adults and do a retreat or meeting, it's okay. Otherwise, I wouldn't necessarily recommend it. It's clearly past its heyday. I hope it recovers, but I'm not sure it can or will without major work.

Especially in the dining hall they go around with a cart asking for refills. The food selection is the best retreat food I've seen yet. It's bbq grilled chicken, pork, with creamy Mac side, fried zucchini, and more. The hotel rooms were not far from the main rooms either. They have a lake with canoes and a huge water slide. You can hike the area of hang out in the huge main building with multiple couches. The actual hotel rooms were old but it does the trick. You have to bring your own shampoo but soap and towels are there as well as iron and board and hangers. There is a communal fridge in the first floor kitchen along with a toaster, coffee machine, toaster oven, and with can opener. Just bring bug spray bc the mosquitos are extra ambitious here. It's about 2 hours from downtown Atlanta so it's not too far. Overall I would recommend this place.
