Weekend Trip to hideaway cove

My husband and I had the best time celebrating the long holiday weekend at hideaway cove. We were able to bring our senior dog and were so impressed with the layout and everything that was provided. We slept comfortably even in chillier weather, and made sure to take advantage of the canoe. The lake was gorgeous and we fell in love with the area. I definitely recommend!

Weekend Trip to The West Point Lake House

Evan R. and I love getting away from the wives and kids for a quiet weekend at the Oar House! It's a peaceful property and only 20 minutes from LaGrange if you want to go to any of the restrauants or breweries. We also went to Drive Bar in Hogansville to hit some golf balls and were pleasantly surprised by the awesome setup they have there!
